the one with the BULLETS

• I worry about random things. Today I started thinking about how our last name is 'sexton' and probably the kids will make fun of Cooper. Then I got to work and saw the last name 'sprinkle' and decided that sexton wasn't so bad.
• Sometimes I accidentally set Craig up with baited questions:

me: "Who's the prettiest woman in hollywood?"

craig: "I can't think of anyone."

me: "Oh come on, I'm not going to get mad, just tell me!"

craig: "I don't want to say."

me: "Gah, it's just a game, COME ON!"

craig: "Well I think that the girl that plays Beckette on 'Castle' is pretty..."

(2 days later) me: "I can understand why you don't want to look at me, after all, I'm no freakin Beckette!"

craig: (inward groan)

• So I watched the first epi this season of 'Private Practice' and to it's credit I haven't seen the the second epi yet so maybe it's more promising but HONESTLY 'private practice', I have to ask the question HAVE YOU JUMPED THE SHARK? Because it was more of the same old crap. Pete loves Violet, Violet gets scared and runs away because OH GUESS WHAT, Violet you're a nut case. And then there's Charlotte and Cooper and surprise, surprise they love each other but fight like cats and dogs. And then we have Adison and Sam who love each other but of course are too scared to tell Naomi even though she's moved on and it's really none of her business but you have to understand, Naomi is a "mother puppy witch."
• "Jumping the Shark" started with 'Happy Days' when after a very successful run the writers decided to have Fonzi literally jump over a shark with a surf board. After that there was no where to go but down. It symbolizes the peak of a show and it's ultimate demise after that.
• Why do I know such random and useless trivia but I can't remember which is 'dessert' and which is 'desert'?
• Last week we made a pact to have a mini date night this weekend and go see the movie with Katherine Heigl since it wasn't out last week. I am totally holding Craig to this.
• Ever since we left the Cheesecake Factory I've had remorse that I didn't even try a slice of cheesecake. It seems like kind of a waste.
• Tonight is ziti night and there's not much that can be better than that.
• We have a trip planned to the "pumpkin patch" as Coop calls it and I'm hoping that it proves to be as magical as he's imagining.
• Bec and I have a major project that we really, really need to start working on. In fact BEC, IF YOU'RE READING THIS, STOP AND WORK ON THE THING.
• Cato may be my very favorite store ever and if I could I would possibly spend all of my money there.
• Christmas is only eighty days away...
• I almost gave myself a mini panic attack after that last statement.
