The Boozy Weathergirl

I manifested a snow day for us here in Connecticut this week. Yee haw! It smells like 2023 in the Kelce household this February. I kinda feel bad for Jason Kelce, because he surely will not know who to put money down on in this weekend's Super Bowl. Luckily for you, just by reading this week's Deep Thoughts Thursday with The Boozy Weathergirl, you're a winner, baby!

Saw this timely statement on a radio station's page, and it made me laugh - The closest feeling to a snow day as an adult is not having to wash a measuring cup, because you only used it for water. (The writer of this is obviously not tied to a school system!)

Why is it that you go back in for one last handful of that snack right before getting into the car for a long drive, and some mysterious piece of whatever lodges itself into your back tooth right at that moment? You have no way of dislodging it, nearly cutting your tongue as the first tool you try to release it, then find yourself shoving your nail in between your teeth as the next line of defense, still not successful, driving yourself insane until you get home and find some dental floss.

Why hasn't Google Maps paired with Dora the Explorer yet? If you get pissed at the online maps and ask, "OMFG, why did you tell me to come this way?" it would sing back, "'Cuz I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, bitch!"

Speaking of children's tunes, I've been singing my ABCs a bit lately for some unknown reason. How is it that "The Alphabet Song," "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and "Baa, Baa Black Sheep" all have the same toon? There's like no logical connection in these three. It's not like the original composer ended on Z, then saw a star while feeding his/her sheep, right? Does the same person take credit for creating all three songs? Are they even deemed different songs? Were there no musical plagiarism suits filed for this? Reminds me of a Queen vs Vanilla Ice type of issue.

I was listening to a book, and one of the characters was set to die by lethal injection. That led me to wonder - do they sterilize the needle for a lethal injection? If so, why?

If you have to put your two cents in, why are you only offered a penny for your thoughts?

As I was putting on my makeup today, I made a conscious effort to put on my mascara with my mouth closed. Simply could not do it. This inability is one of life's great mysteries. Kind of like why even thinking about the word "yawn" makes you do it.

Why do two-door sports cars become so popular later in life? I might have been limber enough to squeeze my ass into the back seat of one in my teens and twenties, but I'll be damned if I could limbo low enough for even the front seat now.

If I take the time to set up autopay for an account, and it doesn't go through the first month, I am irate. This can only be topped by calling the company in question, asking them to walk me through the process, so I can be sure I don't incur another late fee, only to be told they don't know how. If that customer service person was in front of me, I surely would have choked them to death.

There is no better feeling in the world than getting home and realizing you are the only one there - for once! (and, yes, I know I will not always feel this way, but cut me some slack for this time in my life!)

With all of the ridiculous bans on holidays coming out of the new Administration, why can't Trump make the day after the Super Bowl a national holiday? I had fun reading the following suggestions for some extremely targeted team cocktails. Don't be surprised, boss, if I caught the "Chieagle" bug on Monday...
