I Know How to Make President Bush Smart!

I have finally figured out a way to make our boy W seem smart.

Y'see, it started when I was watching Prince William and Prince Harry (secretly known as the Royal Hotties...oh shoot, now it's not a secret!) doing their interview on TV the other night. And I realized how intelligent people sound when they speak with an English accent. Even little kids.

Ergo, President Bush should begin speaking with an English accent. He will start to sound like he actually knows what he's talking about, and -- since Ryan says the accent might give people the impression that W is, as the British say, "a puff" -- it will endear him to a new section of the voting population.

Voila! I present to you: Operation Bangers and Mash.

Doing that blog tag thing the other day got me to thinking of other weird factoids about myself. Such as, I never take off my watch. Seriously, it's waterproof and I never have a reason to remove it unless I feel like wearing another watch. Which isn't often, since my preferred one matches with everything. I don't know...it's always been a thing with me and my watch. I like being able to see what time it is if I wake up in the middle of the night. I like being able to see what time it is when I'm in the shower. But, just to show that I'm not a COMPLETE slave to habit, I have stopped wearing my watch upside-down (with the dial on the bottom of my wrist instead of on the top). My old one was getting scratched up while I typed at work. Ryan hates my watch. He said it pulls out his (meager) stomach hair when we cuddle at night. Feh.

Another weird thing about me....I have a total phobia of walking in front of someone pushing a shopping cart. Bad experiences when I was little, coupled with an inattentive little sister at the store, have left me with a fear of having my Achilles tendons driven through the fronts of my ankles. Just the other day I was walking home and there was someone behind me with a shopping cart. I felt apprehensive the whole time I crossed the street. I just can't stand that feeling of knowing something with wheels is behind me!

Well, there will be another long stretch without blogs...we leave for our Appalachian Trail adventure at Buttcrack A.M. on Saturday and don't return until July 8. I'll update you on the trip when we get back!
