Random thoughts for the day...

Do you ever actually feel like a real grown-up, or do you always feel like at any given moment, someone is going to come up to you at your job and start yelling at you, Scooby Doo style: "Hey you kid! Get out of here!"

Is this Terrell Owens/Desperate Housewives MNF skit everything that people are making it out to be? I mean, do I want to see TO any more than necessary, or for that matter, do I want to see Nicollete Sheridan in a towel? Nope. But, seriously. Is it really something that needs to get talked about incessantly and that people need to flip out about? I don't think it was appropriate, especially when you consider that on the West Coast it was on pretty early in the evening, but you mean to tell me that kids don't see inappropriate things all the time? When I saw "Saving Private Ryan" in the theater there was a 3 year old kid sitting next to me. In my opinion, that kid's parents are the people we should be worrying about not the stupid execs at ABC who just want to push their Sunday night crap show.

On a side, but semi-related to TO note: the funniest thing that ever happened in my family's annual Thanksgiving Day Football game was when my sister and cousin pulled out Sharpies out of their socks to sign the ball after a long TD run. Ouch.

Kashi protein bars are actually good and don't taste like you're eating a rice cake that has been sitting around for 8 years. And, they have 13 grams of protein. That's a lot, right? Also, according to my assistant (who inspected the ingredient list), "at least they use evaporated cane juice instead of refined sugar." Yeah, what she said.

Am I a huge baby because the show Extreme Home Makeover makes me cry every week? I'm not talking about a little teary either, I'm talking about full on crying. It's just that these people's stories are so inspriring. The one where the parents were deaf and the one son was blind, and they paid for the other kid's college? If you don't cry at that, you are a robot.

Was last night really the most shocking board room ever on the Apprentice? I couldn't have been the only one who saw the double "You're Fired" a mile away, right?

As of yesterday (when I received notice from the Office of the Great Seal, and no I'm not making that up), I am a notary public. I'm not sure how this will change my life, but I'm eagerly anticipating all the celebrity that MUST go along with having your name on a stamp.
