Bugaloos, Twiddlebugs same difference

I was beginning to think I had lost my mind when I had posted the YouTube of the Bugaloos, no one seems to remember them except me. However, I am happy to report my sister remembers them as fondly as I do. At least there are two of us, who were warped by this creation of Sid and Marty Krofft in the late 70s.

I mentioned the Bugaloos to our mother and we had a nice conversation reminiscing about them and our childhood, until she mentioned we had a picture of the Bugaloos on some dresses Amy and I wore when we were kids. It was then I realized we were talking about two completely different things. My mom thought I was talking about the Twiddlebugs.

Chris--when you read this, remember that it was CAREY that brought up the Tweedlebugs, not me.

Gainfully employed

I heard back last night from Cargill , I start back into the world of the gainfully employed as an independent contractor on October 8 th . My old client, who will now be my new client, Jeff wrote: I'm thrilled we get to work together again. This is the most important project our business unit has taken on in a lot of years so I feel a lot better knowing you're going to be part of it. OK now I'm nervous. Eeek - the most important project? Whoa, better bring the A game, but you know I am excited - scared - but am ready to go. I have so much to do before the 8 th , gotta get the list together to make the most of my kid free week (now that litte man is at daycare in the a.m.).

Z is like for Zodiac

Shelly and I went to the movie Zodiac last night. The theater was nearly packed with mostly men and couples, so it was a bit obvious when two teenage girls talking on cell phones walked into the movie 20 minutes late. Shelly turned to me, "Why would you even come to a movie like this if you are 20 minutes late?" I agreed especially since they had already missed the first victims meeting their demise and the opening which told the viewer this was a true story.
