Mr. Officer and a Meme

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY - What can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience? -Adam Smith, economist (1723-1790)

AND MY THOUGHT ABOUT THE THOUGHT -
I'm trying to acquire this happiness on all three fronts - and it ain't easy. But I believe it's attainable. And worth the effort.

====================
Why is Jonesy from Reno 911 so sexy? Damn, Mr. Officer! Too bad he likes the Beckies of the world. I say we cuff 'em and do a Drop Squad on him. He makes me wanna break the law!!!

So, I'm a JEM/Rainbow Bright girl and this site is my new holiday lovejones. Nostalgia is nice, isn't it? Peep the Teddy Ruxpin and My Buddy cartoons. Betamax Christmas is that crack.

I wanna start my own book-club/ reading circle. But I've been part of one before and we failed miserably. I became the book-club ayatolla, suggested one "heavy" literary book, and the group fell apart. Does that make it my fault? Probably. Sorry, girls.

I've been searching for local ones online, but it seems like a lot of them are free-for-alls or too big for my taste. Plus, after all my experience with women's groups (I went to a women's college, am in a sorority, and have been in many clubs and groups) and the acrimony they bring, why join another? So yeah, maybe I should start my own. But who to invite? What to read? Should we make it strictly about books?

In my fantasy world, I'd met a guy like Jonesy at a book club meeting and we'd have all our dates at the local bookstore/coffee shop. Eventually, we'd get married and have a family of kids that we take to the library and the bookstore every weekend. When the kids grow up, we'd retire and chill out all day, reading and playing footsie. Sigh...
