Writing through the pain

I had yet another physical therapy appointment today. I must say, this is not at all fun. I'm in pain here people! Looks like I'll be going in for cortisone shots in both the elbow and shoulder. They use the big square needles for that, don't they?

Anyway, pain makes me random. Shut up. I can blame it on the pain if I want to. So I'm warning you now that this post may be a bit loopy.

Speaking of loopy, have you seen the little monkey at the top right of my blog? Well, I've been invited to join the Fellowship of the Traveling Smarty Pants. I'm pretty thrilled about it! It's such a fun group of bloggers over there. And it's not just in the posts, but the comments, too. If you'd like, you can read my latest post here. If you do check out the site, make sure you've made a recent trip to the bathroom first. Oh, and be warned - there are monkey butts ahead. Hey, you've been warned.

Next item of randomness... My bloggy friend, MoonGoddess, just did her 100th post yesterday over at Where My Mind Roams. Go on over and show her some love, huh? Comment away! She could use some love right now. 'Nuff said.

My (much older) sister is turning 40 tomorrow (the 30th). How about pouncing on her blog and giving her a hard time for giving up after one post! She must be taunted!

Okay, here's a random thought: Reduce, recycle, reuse. Would hot dogs fit in to 2 of those 3 categories?

And because random and the Far Side go hand in hand...

Simon says go join in my blog carnival, Life is Funny. You know you want to. Everyone who is anyone is doing it.

Making it up as I go along

I'm in a bit of a quandry here. I have a post all ready for posting. It's been ready since this morning. I can't even believe how prepared I am. The problem? It's for the "What I Learned This Week" carnival, but Musings of a Housewife hasn't done her starting post yet. Yup, just checked again. Nada. But I feel like I should post something for today. I have nothing planned and I don't really know where I'm going with this. But here I am.

Still nothing.

Okay, looks like I'm going to have to come up with a topic. Bear with me.

Grasping at straws to pull this out... European people seem to be fascinated by the splits. Or maybe having dreams of doing the splits. How do I know this? Because my statcounter has been telling me that I've been getting a ton of hits all over Europe to this old post. And it's not that they've been Googling it, either. They're going right to it. Why is this post bouncing all over that continent? That I don't know. But I'm more than willing to take a trip over there to find out. Okay, that's not going to happen, but I'd still really like to know what's going on. Are they all over there mocking me because they can do the splits and I can't? Perhaps they just like the picture of the Banana Splits that I put on the post. Or Kim Possible. Anyway, it's a mystery.

These are the kind of things that keep me up at night.

If anyone can clue me in on this one, I'd be eternally grateful. Or just for fun, come up with your own ideas and tell me about them in the comments.

And hey, since tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day...

So, do you find life to be funny? Tell us about it! Jump on the "Life is Funny" carnival train! You know you wanna...
