Spread out, porcupine!

Happy Thursday from the bowels of Texas! It’s barely 10 a.m. as I write this post but I can already state without hesitation that today is a fabulous day. And here, in case you care, is why: 1) I slept until 9:30; 2) Sam is on his way back to Fiesta Market for another load of cactus pears; 3) the laundry is caught up and there are no socks to fold; 4) I recorded five excellent episodes of the Three Stooges — spread out, porcupine! — last night; and 5) my blood sugar is back to normal this morning after another stupid insulin incident.

Sam and I love the Three Stooges, clearly the most dysfunctional relationship in movie history. They were either sleeping together in one bed or Moe was beating the crap out of everybody with hammers and frying pans. This is serious entertainment and I highly recommend it.

Speaking of entertainment, I finished watching Brokeback Mountain last night and still couldn’t understand a single word uttered by Heath Ledger. I don’t know if mumbling was supposed to be part of his character’s personality or not, but it irritated the hell out of me and ruined the movie. He had one final line at the end that I replayed three times and I still didn’t know what he said. I was much happier afterwards watching Pride and Prejudice (1940) with Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier because both of them enunciate like a couple of champs.

I placed an order online late last night for a couple of household essentials and this time Wal-Mart.com had the best prices on the planet. I need Lime-Away to get rid of teeny calcium deposits on our faucets and shower head, and Dial Nutriskin is absolutely the best moisturizing body wash ever invented. I bought the Grapeseed Oil scent a couple of weeks ago and love it so much I decided to try two bottles of the White Peach.

I’m seriously starving right now, so this might be a perfect time to rustle up some grub for Sam and me. Thank you for reading this!
