03/03/2006: "Great Read, Bad Girl, Lousy Diction"

Treat yourself and pick up a copy of Rita Herron's IN A HEARTBEAT. It's romantic suspense and Rita does an excellent job of blending a good romance with the creepy stuff. satisfied

Uh...where did this week go? My daughter's begun to taunt me by saying, "Wow, can you believe it's already Wednesday/Thursday/Friday?" That kid needs a good smacking.

And The Girl and I have been going around about the following. There's a song out with the refrain, "I think I'm gonna stick with you." Except they don't sing it that way. It comes out, "I think I'm gonna stick wit choo." I change the radio every time because I can't abide that "wit choo" business. Girl argues that it's just the fashion now. I argue that it's just deplorable and I can't listen to it. crazy Wit choo. I think I should respond with Gesundheit or something. Argh. It makes me shudder just to think about it. hehe

Why do I think this will haunt me in July? razz And LOL at hearing Rhonda's Alabama accent dealing with that. Of course, I can't quite wrap my head around Kris' accent going wit choo either. sleepy Best to just not go there. cool eh?

And it's almost as bad as one of my secretaries who used to say, "I seen her today." NO. NO. NO. You saw her today.

The ultimate worst: I seen her today wit choo. Arrrrrgghhhh. crying

"Some men admit they avoid confrontation (about breaking up) because they’re afraid we’ll cry. Of course we’ll cry; we cry at Hallmark commercials. What they don’t understand is that we’re not crying because of them, we’re crying because now we have to get naked in front of someone else.”
