I think my favorite blog posts are the random thoughts ones. It makes me feel like I'm not alone in my weirdness. Thanks for being a freak like me.

Mandy said...

ROTFLMAO = Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off.

:) I like random facts.

Rolling On The Floor Laughing My A$$ Off = ROTFLMAO

CaryManda said...

I think we all need a bra like that.
Awesomeness.

tammy said...

I've watched the wedding twice now and still get teary eyed. I heart Jim & Pam.

I feel the same way about school projects. And getting old. Sucks big time. How can we stop it?

Luvpilot ordered our shutters on-line somewhere and it cost half of what it would've cost otherwise. He had to install them himself, but it was worth it. But you still have to dust them.

Unknown said...

I stopped watching the office long ago. But GLEE is still hanging on...

Omgirl said...

I love your random posts.

I stopped watching The Office last season. So you and I can be stoned together. And by "stoned" I mean "have rocks thrown at." Not the other kind, sorry.

I am awful at crosswords too. It is NOT a talent.

Devon said...

Sweet, your getting handy with the 100+ random thoughts. I'll have to try it out on my blog one day.
I am 13 years clean from carmex which had a stong hold on me for many years. People never took my carmex addiction seriously...

Anna said...

Your comments are nearly as entertaining as your post. Way to go on snagging a great audience (and a nice post).

tiburon said...

I love when you get random.

What I don't love is when you refuse to post pictures of your unshowered self.

and that you are sad that you aren't going to U2 - and yet no word about Rob Thomas.

gina bina said...

LOVE it. I can't think of anything more repulsive than running. 4 miles is basically like 40.

Vanessa said...

Our cat got a whisker trim once. Elton had me convinced it affected the cats balance when he walked.

Don't go to my Nordstrom's to get fitted for a bra. The lady will tell you that you need to diet and exercise if you ask about Spanx.

Are the fish in that bra from Tib's stay at Hotel Monacao? Just wondered.

Steph said...

THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR BLOG WITH THE WORLD:)

kami @ nobiggie.net said...

So many things to comment on...hmmm. I went run-naning too! It's not my favorite, but I'm gonna make it my favorite! ;)

ps. you are going to love your new phone. :)

alex dumas said...

Red gum is better than blue or green gum. And forget Dillard's. Go to Nordstrom. They have better-looking professionals.

Just SO said...

Isn't that first Muse song you posted a link to the music for the show Doctor Who??

Love these posts.

Go.

Get felt up by a random woman stranger.

Vera said...

Mindi, you are a crack-up. I love to laugh with you....

Vera said...

You are a crack-up. And I'm with you 100% of the time.. You say it, I live it....

Tiffany said...

I am only capable of doing the People crossword. No others.

And, I have also fallen somewhat out of love with The Office this season, but liked the wedding very much.

I like you.

Shannon said...

You will always be my favorite Mindi in the world!

Mindi, splitting a single thought into multiple segments does not qualify each as it's own distinct thought. Love- Your brother.

Jen @ tatertotsandjello.com said...

I LOVED your list! I also love that you keep it real.

XOXO

Creative Juice by Loni said...

I'm nominating you for a Newberry writing award...not quite Nobel worthy because you haven't promised anyone world peace...yet.

P.S. Don't listen to our brother. He, of all people, should understand RANDOM.

Ida said...

Go get fitted for a bra it rocks. And plantation shutters are nice have them. But they are just bigger at attracting dust dirt etc, and easier for little people to hide things behind them.

Cole said...

Victoria's Secret is the ONLY place to get fitted and buy!

Green gum will always best!

Crunchy or Puff?

carly k said...

From one big set of boobies to another, you must go to Intamacy next time you are in San Diego. They give the best bra fittings. It is the only place I will (aka can) buy my bras.
