Today's Thought

Your plan to pen your memoir seems like a waste of time when you realize that your life story has already been described in thousands of odes to mediocrity -- better known as country songs.

Hmm... I wonder if I should mention this to Blake?

Naaahh...

But, it leads you to wonder - What would my memoirs be like? Part horror novel, part sleazy romance novel, part country song for sure...

The horror of growing up in a family like mine. Father who never wanted me. Abusive brothers. Apathetic mother.

I got married when I was 16, just to get away from my family. Had a torrid relationship with my husband until I was forced to leave him behind when he threatened my best friend and adopted brother. Then there was the delicious hooking up with my blue-eyed co-worker after losing my husband. And, no matter how hard I try to forget, there was the hooking up with my psycho commanding officer as well... *shudder*

Well, in my defense, he seemed like a nice, normal guy at the time.

And the sleazy part... well, Blake, my new husband, knows all about that one. Heh. Heh. Heh...

Sorry, got sidetracked there a moment. But seriously, I found him while he was already dating someone else, someone younger and prettier. But apparently she didn't have my skills, or something because he left her and came a-runnin'.

And the country song part? Hmm... wanna list?

What Was I Thinkin' and how often have I wondered just that?

Last Dollar (Fly Away) something I think we can all relate to...

... I could go on and on and on... but I doubt either of us really has that much time. But I can say this much: If I had to pick a theme song for my memoirs, it'd be Playboys of the Southwestern World. Why? Well, it's the very first line of the song that clinches it: "This is a song about best friends..." and where would you be without your friends?

My Karaoke Song...

Since I seem to have been neglecting ya'll lately, thought I'd have a little fun...

Your Karaoke Theme Song is "Baby Got Back"

You're a total show off who is willing to risk looking like a fool to get a few laughs.In fact, you'll go for the cheap laugh if you need to... because it's better than no reaction! Your friends can count on you to get a party started, and you'll party hard until you can't remember their names.You're charismatic, charming, and a total character. With or without a few drinks in you. You might also sing: "I Touch Myself," "Oops I Did it Again," or "My Humps" Stay away from people who sing: "Candle in the Wind"

What's" Your Karaoke Theme Song?

And yeah, Blake's still laughing...

Drunk Blogging

The Top 5 Reasons why Ali should not blog while drinking:

#5: She tends to ramble a LOT and gets off topic very easily. You remember that night, Albie, that we went to the karaoke bar? Yeah, that one, down off The Strip. Yeah. That was the night I first thought about a blog. Not that it happened right away because Andy had this idea and… what?

#5: She gets very irritated very easily (even more than normal, believe it or not) and starts to yell foul things at the computer when she can’t type properly because she can’t see the keys. Like now. $%^@! Keyboard! TYPE!

#3: Did I mention that she gets off topic really easily? And has an awful time finding her way back again. She’s still in the corner rambling on to her brother about a night in a bar somewhere in Vegas. *shakes head*

#2: She gets awfully frisky and I’d really, really hate for her to be wasting all that well-deserved friskiness on the computer. A man’s got needs ya know…

And the #1 reason why Ali should not be let near her blog while drinking is…

HEY! WAIT!! SHE’S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DRINKING ANYWAY!!!!!!!! (Sheesh, I guess it’s a good thing it’s ME that’s drinking and blogging and not her huh?)
