I drank too much after-hours coffee and now I’m wired so here are some things.

  • Glory Days. Moonlight. Adventures of Beans Baxter.Emily Owens, MD.
    • What are: TV shows I loved that were canceled.
  • Speaking of TV shows, Chooch and I are really into watching The Goldbergs (he said I’m as annoying as the mom, ugh!) and Red Band Society together, so here’s hoping those guys don’t get canceled.
  • Barb and I went to the viewing of our co-worker’s mother after work today. On the way back to Barb’s car through the funeral home parking lot, we walked past a frighteningly oldlady struggling to get out of the passenger side of a car. Barb asked her if she needed any help. The oldlady said yes and then reached out for me to help her. ME! Not Barb, but me! So I had to have human contact with a stranger and I was so scared. God damn you, BARB.
    • Somehow, this was my first time in Barb’s car. I’m here to report that she narrates EVERYTHING that is happening while she’s driving. I don’t think it matters if she has a passenger or not.
  • Last week at work, someone sent out an email about a free Neil Diamond CD they were giving away which made me nostalgic so I opened up and told Glenn and Mean Amber about how I bought this deluxe Neil Diamond boxed set when I was in high school and then PSYCHO MIKE took one of the CDs during one of our many Sid & Nancy episodes* and I was never able to look at the boxed set again, because knowing that one of the CDs was missing drove me nuts. It’s actually in a box in my attic. I JUST CAN’T WITH THAT DEFECTED BOXED SET, OK.
    • I don’t know why I referenced Sid and Nancy. There were never any drugs involved in our psychotic fisticuffs, unless you count Mike’s prescription drugsand also the brief period we triedto be pot dealers,LOLOLOL.
      • While we were on the subject of Neil Diamond, Amber admitted that she didn’t know who sang her favorite childhood song, but it went something like—-and after two second of her singing, I screamed, “RICHARD MARX!!!!”

  • Yesterday, Glenn was listening to fucking Meghan Trainor’s “All About that Bass” so loud that I could distinctly hear it through his ear buds and if I had any respect for him prior to this, I would lost some at that moment. Ugh, that song. Just ugh ugh ugh it all the way to hell.
  • I made myself popcorn tonight, which entails me over-popping the bag so that the middle becomes a charred brick with some unscathed popped kernels clinging to it. Then I spray it handsomely with Pam. Suddenly, after 13 years together, Henry has a “problem” with this. Like he has just realized now after all this time that my popcorn preference is offensive and I’m like you know what? How about stop trying to change me, man? I’ve been eating burnt, Pam-spritzed popcorn for fucking ever and I won’t let some righteous male try to control how long I cook my corn in the microwave. Fuck off. I AM WHO I AM. And that’s evidently a person who just really loves the synthetic aftertaste of cooking spray on her tongue.
    • My crazy aunt Sharon is the one who got me hooked on Pam because she would always use that on popcorn in lieu of butter when I was a kid, because she was forever on a diet. The taste of Pam reminds me of sleeping over my grandparents’ house, having my back scratched by my grandma while watching Empty Nest. THOSE WERE THE DAYS.
  • I’m trying to convince Chooch that pilgrims are fictional. Shockingly, it’s not going very well. The internet makes it so hard to lie to kids these days!
  • Unpopular opinion: I really dislike the current season of American Horror Story. The wholefreakshow/clown thing is something that is so dear to my heart, and AHS’s depiction just isn’t doing it for me. I’m still watching, though. If only to mock Kathy Bates’ bizarre Fargo/Pittsburgh hybrid accent. But if she throws an “n’at” in there, I’m out.
  • I’m totally watching the video for Richard Marx’s “Hazard” right now. Wasn’t that a huge deal when it debuted on MTV?
  • So, I’ve been watching “The Affair” on Showtime and I love/hate it. I absolutely hate everything about the main guy, and the main broad’s voice and lips drive me nuts. And it has me convinced that Henry is having an affair (much like when Mike was killed on Desperate Housewives and I was so sure Henry was going to get shot and I didn’t want him to leave the house anymore). But I can’t stop watching. I keep making comments to Barb about Henry having an affair and she gets all mad and flustered and yells, “HE IS NOT CHEATING ON YOU! WHEN WOULD HE HAVE TIME!?” Wendy was mad because it took Henry an entire afternoon to text her back the other day. I told Barb about this and then I said, “You know why he didn’t text her back right away? BECAUSE HE WAS TOO BUSY WITH HIS AFFAIR!” And then Barb was like ^&%*&%&(^(*&*(((@@#$$.
  • ENDLESS SUMMER NIGHTS! I have officially fallen down the Richard Marx rabbit hole and IDGAF.
  • DON’T WORRY: I didn’t forget about that giveaway I said I was thinking about having. It will probably be the week of Thanksgiving, where blogs all over the Internet use that holiday as an excuse to triple their page views.
  • My brother told me that our mom has recently brought out a painting I made for her probably 7 years ago and is now displaying it on the mantlealongside one of my old grade school photos. The last time I was at her house (god, over 4 years ago) I was looking for something in the kitchen and saw that very painting stowed away in a cupboard. And I remember when I gave it to her (it was a Xmas present), she very sarcastically said it was wonderful. So, this is interesting to me. I guess on one hand, it gives me hope that she still has some emotion and maybe she possibly misses me. But on the other, I’m not getting my hopes up because it’s a toxic cycle. I asked Henry if he thought she would ever start being a mom to me again and without hesitation, he said no. No sugar-coating when it comes to this topic.
    • I try not to whine about this topic, but sometimes the need presents itself.

Um…on that bitter note. I think maybe I should quit while I’m ahead! Tomorrow, I should hopefully have PART 2 of Heini’s Cheese Chalet for you to gloss over with bored eyes. It’s been pretty hard to put Corey’s and my giddiness into words!

  1. Man. I don’t even know what to say about the mom situation that has gotta be rough. Just listen to some more Richard Marx lol!

  2. I think I’m on Henry’s side with the popcorn. That sounds downright awful.

  3. “Suddenly, after 13 years together, Henry has a “problem” with this.”

    Please tell me he actually used the word problem to describe what he was feeling about the Pam-popcorn.

    Unfortunately he is right about Val’s suspicious behaviour. :(

Say it don't spray it.
