For all the imperfect little things we do throughout the day. For instance, I can't believe I just went to Ubid.com, found the tracking number for my new laptop and plugged it into the tracker at UPS.com, instead of walking the 30 feet to the mailroom and seeing for my damn self.

I can't believe I just ate at McDonald's because the line at [sucky sub place I'm not going to admit to patronizing] was too long, and then I took the elevator instead of the stairs when I got back to work.

I can't believe I bought two sandwiches for lunch, because I wasn't sure which I wanted, and so I had half of each (pork loin and caramelized onions, and mozzarella and tomato basil; for the record, both were very good, and now I'm very full). And on the plus side, I still have the other half of each for later.

Well, this wasn't me, but my cute little nephews who I saw last weekend, took "Edward" the blue engine etch & sketch that I bought them out with them yesterday. Except that Edward got lost, and the boys were heartbroken.

So mommy goes off to the garage to see if Edward got left in the car, and one of the boys called 911. "The poweece man will help us find Edward, Mommy!" She overhears him say "yes, he's bwue and we wost him at the mall." Apologies all around and she scolds them for calling 911, and they are very confused.

Aunty Weesa is trying very hard not to laugh.

I can't believe I just spent that much money.

That said, I can't believe the extent to which I can turn absolutely anything in my life into some weird three-act drama. Look! It's the Susan Show! Watch while she drags everyone in her life into a simple consumer-purchasing decision! Watch her whine about ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

It's very exciting being me.

Lisa, are these the same nephews who christened the paper shredder so effectively? They sound too cute -- and very, very dangerous!

I can't believe I just watched American Psycho. I can't believe I laughed.

I saw American Psycho in a full theater. My guests and I and some guy sitting a couple of rows down were laughing thoughout most of the film. It's funny. The book is funny. It's a very very very dark comedy.

...found out my husband has a secret, second life. He shocked me with it over dinner, the first time we've actually a) cooked, and b) sat at a table together in months. I'm still reeling.

(BTW, it's nothing horrible. Well, I guess that depends on your point of view. But he's not, like, having an affair or anything.)

Er, that should be double life. He's not reincarnated. Sometimes I don't speak any language very well.

Wow, Plin - weird. I guess as my psychic twin, I need to start watching out for strange behaviour from Chris???

Ooh, yeah. Hmm. Now that would be the funniest thing in the history of the universe. If they have this in common, too, there's definitely something very very strange going on.

Heh. But I highly doubt it.

I can't believe I drank probably two bottles of champagne last night. And that I'm not still in bed. Nothing to be done about the former, but I'm fixing the latter right now.

I can't believe I finally got up at 6 am this morning and churned out 2000 words, after at least three weeks of procrastination. Yay!
