I still crack up watching those 'Scrubby Bubbles' on the commercials. I remember those same guys when I was a kid. I was thoroughly confused as to why my mother never bought that stuff. I mean the bubbles come out of a can or whatever and clean your bathroom for you! What a great thing! I may have even asked her why she didn't buy the product. I mean if a product came with little dudes that would clean my bathroom, I would so totally buy it! I was sooooo disappointed to find out that commercials lie! How could they have led me on like that? Bastards!!
Imagine, your a cute little kids watching Soul Train on Saturdays with your mom, while sitting on a floral print, velour couch -- weren't the 70's grand? Then this commercial comes on and a hundred or so of these guys comes out and cleans the tub. Then they go down the drain all on their own -- and presumably cleaning the pipes along the way. Yup, that was my thought process as a kid!
Then today after our walk -- that would be the stud dog Samson and myself -- I receive a phone call from my University in Michigan (Oakland University). Oh the good times I had there... They're putting together some damn Alumni book and wanted some basic facts from me. "Okay, fine, I'll humor them," is what I'm thinking. So the questions were basic. When did you graduate? (Can't remember...told ya, good times). Current address and phone number (gave em the one and reminded them that THEY called ME...I think they have the number!) Then...they asked about what I do..."Ah-ha! Law of Attraction saying Hello," I think to myself. So I say teacher AND writer! Cuz after all, that is what I want to be! So I put it out there in the Universe. Oh, then there was the question about spouse and kids. I asked if she knew anybody. Sadly, no.
