The latest bits from my Facebook status

- I have a hot new movie idea. Here's the pitch: A producer at a TV station is under the gun during the sweeps period with her job on the line, so she becomes a serial killer to boost ratings. It'll air on the Lifetime Movie Network, of course, and no, it's not based on any of the wonderful, mentally stable lady producers I work with every morning.

- Is it weird that I actually prefer it cloudy than sunny much of the time? I'm less squinty and it's not as scorchingly hot in the summer.

- Cooper has so many things in his bathtub that I can barely see the bottom. I expect the creature from the trash compactor in "Star Wars" to pop its big eye out anytime now.

- I am very much looking forward to having a little girl, but I admit to being intimidated by girls clothing and hair!

- When I'm eating my "country boy breakfast" at Cracker Barrel, do they add that tiny sliver of an orange wedge just to make sure I don't get scurvy?

- Will the next generation of keyboards make a place for a key with ?! on it? Do we need two control, alt or shift keys?

- I'm not saying that it's storming hard right now, but my neighbors across the street just put their Christmas tree out yesterday, and I don't know where it's at but it's definitely not on the curb anymore!

- Val's mom babysat last night, so what exciting things did we do? Dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings then shopped at Toys r Us.

- Memphis made the list of happiest workers, Nashville was on the unhappy list. Yeah, so take that, Nashville, what with your low crime rate and higher standard of living!

- Could someone tell Yahoo Music Radio that Taylor Swift's "Teardrops on my Guitar" is not exactly something I expect to hear on the Contemporary Christian station?

- Not everything has progressed for the better in 100 years. In 1912 as the Titanic went down, more women from third class survived than men from first class. In 2012: “An Australian mother and her young daughter have described being pushed aside by hysterical men as they tried to board lifeboats.”

-  No, Radio Shack guy, I don't want a new phone package or batteries or pay 99 cents for 3 years of insurance on a $20 micro USB cable. I want to buy one item and get out, preferably within one minute and fifteen seconds.

- We bought Just Dance 4 Kids for our Wii to be our exercise for the new year. We looked at the other Just Dance games and didn't know 80 percent of the songs, so we figured it wouldn't be as much fun. So far we're enjoying it, but even "Surfin U.S.A." is wearing me out. Long way to go to get in shape!

- I'm going to go ahead and trademark the phrase "I have a perfect vision for 2020" so that presidential candidates in 2020 will have to pay me to use it.

- When we wake up from our afternoon nap, Cooper is an emotional wreck. He whines, cries and freaks out if I don't get up soon enough or if I leave his side when we see his mommy in the living room. He's only sorta calmed down by a piece of chocolate and a sippy cup of tea. This has been going on for 3 months. Gotta love the Terrible Twos.

- Poor Krackel, always the sad pieces in the Hershey's miniature bags left over at the end.
