I know that is kinda the point of potluck… POTLUCK:   now with 73% more randomness! Does that mean that there is still 27% non-randomness? Let’s take a little look at what brought readers to the Nirvana. Most of my recent visitors have sought specific information about Pajama Jeans, Target Cakes and The World’s Smallest Horse. Note to self:   When you write things that provide ACTUAL information, people will come read. Note to self: Note that Google is never sending people looking for a potluck. Note to self:   Why does Google hate potluck? Note to Google:   Why do you hate potluck? Note to self: Noting Google INSIDE potluck might not be the most efficient way of addressing Google issues. And now for the feature formerly known as…What is Up with Holly’s Coccyx? Renamed due to Skecher’s Shape Ups to…How firm is Holly’s butt?* Slightly firm. *Holly realizes how lame this segment has become and doesn’t have a good reason for it, but will continue to milk it for awhile just to amuse herself. This week I was put into Comment Nirvana within MINUTES of publishing last week’s potluck in the rain because of this… Holly's Beet Jello is melting in the dark All the sweet, red beets flowing down ¦ Someone left the potluck in the rain I don't think that I can take it ˜Cause it took so long to make it And I ™ll never try that recipe again Oh, no! Thank you Heidi!   You combined my annoying tendency to replace song lyrics with the word potluck in one of the world’s most annoying songs. GENIUS. Last Monday I did end up going to the NASCAR race that was postponed due to rain.   I took Rhett(4) and met my dad at Texas Motor Speedway.   It was very muddy out there, but a good excuse to use my SUV’s 4 wheel drive to park in a place that not everyone could access (I can write this because blog-Stedman doesn’t read my blog and it was his car).   I wasn’t sure how Rhett would do at the race…I mean, it WAS 500 miles of cars going around, and around, and around, and around… He did GREAT.   He watched and ate junk food and asked questions that no one could hear.   He got a little antsy just about the time a big wreck happened right in front of us which opened up a whole new world of trucks – big tow trucks, ambulances, road cleaning, sweeping and blowing trucks, etc.   Overall it was a good, good day.

What is in Holly’s Fruit Bowl?

One crumpled up dollar that made it through the washer and dryer, the Chevy hat that I won playing Traverse Tetris and a pair of child’s safety scissors.

We just got back from a road trip to San Antonio for blog-Stedmans work and if I don’t make it to the grocery store tomorrow we will be eating that hat for lunch.

I hope for you today that your your potluck was not left in the rain and you can locate the 27% that is not random.

  1. Thanks Holly, but the great honor of being chosen for comment of the week came with a steep price. It’s been over a week now and I can’t get Macarthur Park out of my head…

  2. Was going to do math about how 73% MORE random doesn’t necessarily mean that the rest is 27% unrandom…nonrandom?….antirandom?

    But…I’m having a bad day, and now I can’t do math.

    Not that I could do it before. It’s just worse at the moment.

  3. hey! i lived in Austin and San Anton back in the 90s. (1890s). partied hard in DAFW!
    is that random potluck enough for you?

  4. Wow… my fruitbowl has some of the same contents! And I also love to replace song lyrics with really bad replacements.
    Possible we’re sisters, separated at birth?

  5. I’ve never been to NASCAR either. But I live up north, where is it not considered a character flaw. MY BIL in TN assures me it is.

    And thanks for getting MacArthur Park stuck in my head.

  6. I am going to go ahead and fess up here that I have never been to a Nascar race – I guess since I finally have a boy I am going to have to start looking into that kind of stuff!

    🙂

  7. “sweet red beets flowing down”

    I think I remember that scene from “The Shining” – ew.

    Glad Rhett had a good time! Gives me hopes of taking Oldest soon. (never thought I’d type that last sentence. NASCAR – yeeeeehhhhhhhhhhaw!)

  8. Thanks…MacArthur Park is my absolute FAVORITE weird song…
    Your potluck is just right for the Rainy Monday we have goin’ on up here in PA.
    Oh, that’s another “sticks in your head” song…
    Rainy days and Mondays always get me down….
    Looks like the NASCAR race was a blast!
