Tuesday Ten!

My computer bit the dust Saturday morning. I powered it on, ran (okay, clearly y'all know I don't run) to get my coffee and came back to find the Blue Screen of Death staring back at me. Taunting me.

It was all like, "I know you have real work to do that doesn't involve kicking ass and taking names at Words With Friends, but I'm in the mood to screw with you, so take it like a man BFG!"

And I was all like, "NOOOOOOO!"

I couldn't raise my fist in anger, due to the full cup of hot coffee.


Bah.


So, here's I am, using Mr. BFG's laptop and I am very sad. I may be a genius, but I am not a computer genius. And I also don't have the cash to hand over to some pimply, barely out of high school geek, who will more than likely use big words that I don't understand much like my friends who make binary jokes.


Yeah. Totally don't get those.


Anyway. It's the first Tuesday of the New Year and I feel like we need a really good Tuesday Ten!


1. I started off my New Year by going to the gym (yay)! And by immediately discovering that they were closed (boo)!


2. I think someone gave me a used gift card for Christmas.


3. I hate it when you buy cute shoes and they rub blisters on your heels that don't heal for days. The price one pays by purchasing anything that goes by the name Fergalicious.


4. I may have said this before, but ordering fast food? Not rocket science. It's really not. You get there. You pick out your overly fattening combo with a Diet Coke. You pay. You drive home while sneaking french fries out of the bag. Easy as frying chicken nugget paste.


5. The Domino's order tracker is fascinating. I just wish it gave you more details. Like, "Your order is being prepared by high school drop out, deadbeat father, Dennis." Or, "Nobody spit in your pasta bowl."


6. One more full week until half of my kids go back to school. And ohmygoditcantcomesoonenough.


7. Two weeks later and I'm still incredibly fascinated by our washing machine. It's nothing short of amazering. My clothes are so happy and fresh. I don't think I'll ever get over it.


8. I bought the Bare Minerals starter kit with my Ulta gift card. I was so excited. The girl showed me how to use it, matched my skin tone to the correct shade, asked me where to buy firearms in town (umm...?). And it sucked all of the moisture out of my face and ruined my life. Boo.


9. For the last two years, my friends Hojo and Ana, The Spicy Latina, have gone up to Arlington and attended a Rangers game. And both years, they've gone to the World Series. But, because they didn't actually win (sigh), we've decided we're missing our fourth member and are letting Hojo's sister-in-law come with us. I'm secretly hoping that this is the key to their winning and David Murphy will appreciate our hard work enough to make out with me.


10. I just realized I've been sitting here for half an hour with a football game on in front of me and NO male figure in the room.
