Today Is Monday, August 13, 2012.....

Forgetting the date is common. Forgetting the day happens too. Forgetting the month, not so much. Maybe if it's the last day of one month or the first day of another. I think that could be forgiven. Leap Year would present problems. I can never remember the thirty days has September, April and December tip. Wanda uses the knuckles on her hand to tell what month has how many days. I can't remember how to do that. Forgetting the year, unless it's the first week in January, there's no excuse for this lack of awareness.

Once more I digress. Isn't knuckles a great word? Say it fast five times, knuckles, knuckles, knuckles, knuckles, knuckles. Seems to me it should be the name of a clown. Now, for your entertainment pleasure, please give a big hand and a warm welcome (will someone run out and get a big hand?) to Knuckles the Clown. Now, say it three times, knuckles, knuckles, knuckles. It's just like the noise Curly of The Three Stooges makes. He was always my favorite Stooge. Shemp wasn't bad but I never liked the last guy, Curly Joe?

I forgot the year this morning. Considering we have been watching the London Olympic Games of 2012, this was a major faux pas. Faux Pas, another good word. Is it a faux pas to misspell faux pas? The dictionary says a social blunder is a faux pas. Faux pas is pronounced foe-paw which sounds like the enemy of a hillbilly daddy. 

If you didn't get your fill of the 2012 London Olympic Games, NBC Sports is broadcasting replays all week. This morning I watched several track and field events and the women's gold medal beach volley match. Watching sports, for me, is lots more interesting if I don't know the results. By the way, the American ladies won the gold medal.

Did you know the Olympic Gold Medal is almost all silver? They are 92.5% sterling silver, 7.5% copper and gold plated. The current composite value of the medal is $620.85. I'll add this to my, "obviously you have way to much money" list. A gold medal awarded to the 1980 Olympic men's hockey (I first typed hickey.....that would be an interesting contest) sold recently at auction for $310,000.00. 

What is more ridiculous, someone who would pay over three hundred thousand bucks for a medal or a  TV monkey earning twelve thousand dollars an episode? I think a monkey would be happy with a few bananas and some unshelled peanuts but things are different in Hollywood. Hey, my first thought was the monkey would want to shell his own nuts. However, having said things are different in Hollywood, maybe the monkey's agent would demand the nuts already removed? I remember hearing something about red M & M's and a singing star.

I have good news and I have bad news, what do you want to hear first? Women, if you are concerned about your eye lash hair, take heart. There is a prescription medication that will increase thickness and length. You will have more beautiful lashes to bat around. The bad news: once you start, if you stop using, your lashes stop growing.

I love living a simple life, that's no secret. I write about my lifestyle often. Here is a great example of solving one problem and creating a different one.

I had upper eyelid surgery a year ago. I have been using Latisse for four months and have gotten great results. My only concern is can the use of Latisse over the long term in any way affect the results of my upper eyelid surgery by making my eyelids sag again or by affecting my eyelid skin? Can Latisse make the eyelids droop? Thank you.

In other words, can my new eyelash hair be so heavy it pulls my eyelids down? Children go hungry and she's worried about the weight of her eye lid hair. We all have our priorities.
