Randomness

This week in politics will be up later tonight, but I had to get these silly thoughts out first.

First, a HUGE thank you to Grandy for my first ever Blog Award!! It’s over there ———–>>>>>
Cool huh? I’ve been ever so envious of the links on my blog roll that display all sorts of pretty awards and now I have one. Weeeee!

We’ve been talking on the August moms group about our kid’s current odd expressions. It was pretty fun how we all thought it was just *our* kid who was being so…um..*random*..only to find out that they nearly ALL blurt out for no particular reason a variation on “I like ___!” For my child, it is “I like pie!” for a few others it was “I like cheese!” Sportsboy will also say “peanut butter!” just for the heck of it. I thought it was just him loving the sound of his own voice (a trait both of my boys have in abundance). Apparently though, it traces its origins to some tv show and has spread like wildfire in the pre-teen world. Oh, and they also love the word ‘random’. They describe themselves as random and wish each other randomness.
Which of course made me try to remember what my generation’s catch phrases were,. but…um…that was..like…you know…like…30 years ago…so…like…there is NO WAY…I can bring any of that back *cough*bullshit*cough* :->> What were the catch phrases in your childhood?

And a bell weather moment folks. This is HUGE. After 15 years of ordering the SAME THING at Starbucks – variations on a mocha and mochas ONLY. This morning, I officially switch to…..(drum roll please)…..Vanilla Lattes!!! I know. Totally blew you away didn’t it? Just breathe. It will be OK. You may go about your Friday business now.

I am SOOOO Random!! :->
