Well, folks, I read seven (count 'em) seven books in October. One I didn't finish but even at that I hit the magic number 50 I estimated for myself by the end of the year. The six books I successfully waded through were, firstly, What Happened, Hillary Clinton's book on her bid for the Presidency. I''m a bit of a political junkie so I get off on this stuff but still it kinda struck me as one long whine over losing. Next up was the excellent Canyon of Dreams: The Magic and Music of Laurel Canyon. Laurel Canyon was the fabled area outside of Los Angeles where many musicians and artists lived. Known as a 60s enclave, the book takes a look at just who lived there over the last 80 years. A fascinating read. Next up was Lightfoot, a biography of Canadian folk singer Gordon Lightfoot. He may have been responsible for some iconic folk songs but he was also quite the womanizer and boozer. Enough said. Then I read Dan Brown's new tome Origin, the fifth ...

I have gotten into THE WRONG CAR in a parking lot, thinking it was mine!
That hat is way too funny!
Lesson Learnt - Never leave my house without my digital camera ever again.
Even if my camera is old and broken. Even if 9 times out of 10 the picture comes out blurry. And even if my camera uses batteries like a prostitute uses condomsŠit still would have been really handy to have in my possession when I saw Sanjaya shopping at my local CVS.
Oh, alright, so it wasn't Sanjaya. And, for the record, I don't even like Sanjaya. Not.Even.A.Little. But I did frantically search my purse for said crappy digital camera when the Sanjaya look-a-like-could-have-been-practically-identical-twin strolled into the store.
After shoving my hand violently around my gigantic purse for a solid 8 minuets, I still couldn't locate my camera. That's when I realized I had left it at home to download more new pictures of Baby Mason.
As I wondered aimlessly into the parking lot, I was lost in deep thought about how funny that post would have been. I was disappointed for missing the perfect opportunity to hold a Spontaneous Sanjaya look a like contest. Distracted, preoccupied, and contemplating the words I would have used in my Œalmost post' I began unloading the bags from my shopping cart into THE WRONG CAR.
Um. Yeah. Hi.
I was too busy cussing myself out for being ill prepared, that I wasn't even aware I was putting my bags, into someone else car.
(Because, you know, Hyundai's and Nissan's look so much alike. Right?)
The only clue to the situation I had gotten myself into was how clean the back seat of the wrong car was. The back seat of my car is filled with empty coffee cups, cigarette packs, 15 pairs of shoesŠall of which I did not see as I was placing bags neatly intoŠThe Wrong Car.
First I panicked. Then I rapidly scanned the parking lot for any onlooker, or the possible owner of the car. Thankfully no one saw me as I quickly removed the bagsŠand thankfully I wasn't busted.
Lesson Learnt? There may be a celebrity look a like at any given time, in any given store. Never leave my house without my digital camera ever again. I might end up in jail for a really embarrassing misunderstanding, one that infers to unlawful entry or even burglary.
AHAHAHhHAHhAHhhHAhahhHAHh!
That was THE SAME episode!
:)
Sanjaya was a contestant on American Idol like 100 years ago.
Baby Mason is my nephew, who will be FIVE YEARS OLD this month!
This post was from a long time ago!

Unfortunately this slogan is becoming true for me at times!
