Fe Fi Fo Fum

This morning on my way in to work, the person in the car ahead of me flipped their burning cigarette butt out the window and it came hurling toward me.
I hate that.
Just because I'm quirky and I have to have everything in my life symmetrical I need to know:
Is my header now centered on your monitor?
Did it used to be at the left of the screen?
Because my header had always been centered on the computer I use to post. Then yesterday I used a different computer and my header was at the left of the screen! I was aghast! Actually I wasn't because all of a sudden I don't like that word. It reminds me of being gassy or something. But it did give me vertigo for a moment and caused my symmetrical world to come crashing down so I set out immediately to fix it. Now matter how hard I tried I couldn't get the stubborn thing to center. So finally I prayed! Lord, please help me get this thing centered or maybe I can never possibly blog again! (I'm pretty certain that concerned Him because He likes reading my blog, and I asked Him this morning while I was praying on my way to work to leave me a comment because He still hasn't yet). Anyway guess what! The moment after I prayed I had an "aha" moment and I just did a few little tricks and my header centered!!
Let me ask again.
Is the header now centered on your screen? It's important to me, can you tell?
Jason called me this morning and said Dawson is improvising now.
While Dawson was getting his sandals on he was singing: "I am putting on my sandals, I am puttting on my sandals" to the tune of twinkle twinkle little star.
My son's gonna be a ROCK STAR.

Anyway,
I have a feeling this whole post is going to be an anyway.
Several days ago we had a little note on Dawson's daycare "this was my day" sheet that said
"We had a firedrill today. Dawson did great. He thought it sounded like ducks."
For the life of me I can't think of any fire alarm that sounds like ducks.
I'm sure hoping theirs does.

I'm dying to share one of my favorite pictures. I took it when I went to New York City many years ago with a friend of mine.
If you don't know of my love for pepsi, perhaps this will give you an idea.
I think I may be clinically unusual.
If it helps matters, I just looked up the word "weird" in the thesaurus because I was going to use that word instead of unusual. But weird seemed too boring. My choices were:
Weird
Strange
Odd
Peculiar
Uncanny
Eerie
Creepy
Unusual
Normal (antonym)
What was my original point to this post? Now I can't remember.

Looks centered to me! I love it that you are clinically unusual. Having been excessively weird my entire life, my bf just told me I was 'overly normal'. He might just as well have told me my ass could span the Grand Canyon, I was so insulted! If I've become OVERLY anything it's cause for alarm, but overly NORMAL? You are blessed to be clinically cuckoo, er I mean Unusual!

DO you want it to be centered, because I will say yes. I don't want you to crash in your car, worrying about the "centeredness" of your post. It maybe a little off center, but that's what makes it so special... right? Just like you and me? =) (not as in special ED or anything, just to clarify)

Also, I loved that your post had not point and seemingly no end, until it ended. I mean that in a very good way, I didn't want your talk about weird or strange or Eerie things to end...
