No big secret... I am completely addicted to the new Knight Rider series. I'll take a black Ford Mustang that sounds like Val Kilmer anyday. (FYI 0 I have been trying desperatly and unsuccessfully to find a digital audio file of the theme song, such that I may load it to my phone as a ring tone.)
My new thing is that in order to watch my DVR shows (since I work when they are actually on), I have to be riding my stationary bicycle. (BTW - I went to aerobics mon and wed and rode 30 mins on the bike Tues (Two and a Half Men, CSI:Miami and thurs (Knight Rider!!!)
As I am completely out of shape, and struggling to remedy the ailment, I only biked for about 30 minutes of the show, and then had to find something constructive to do with the remaining time.
SO I cleaned out my Caboodle. (I should have taken pictures, but alas...) For those of you who are unfamiliar with a Caboodle, basically, it looks like a girls tackle box, dividers and all, and is designed to hold girlie things. These were huge, what, twenty years ago?!? The thing is, I still have mine. It refuses to break. SO I throw make up and stuff in there, and sometimes use it, but more often than not don't. Every so often I will get a wild hair and clean it out (usually finding wild hair in it), throwing away mascara that has glunked up, etc.
So, there I sit, on my bed, watching as Micheal chases down a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde, and, wouldn't you know it, the darn thing breaks, right there as I am opening it, the little latch on the front falls off, and the shelves crack. Twenty years and it finally breaks.
I start to think - you know Knight Rider with David Hasselhoff was huge twenty years ago, or so. Maybe the Caboodle has a similar shelf-life as David Hasselhoff... (If you did not get that joke, I reference BayWatch...) hmmm. What other shows were big back then???
MacGyver... hey, I can jerry-rig this caboodle back together.
I pause the replay of the new tv show, and run for the kitchen junk drawers where I find (eureka!!!) duct tape, super glue, and some toothpicks, and back to the caboodle I go.
Suffice it to say that I am not MacGyver, and that the Caboodle did not survive.
Oh well, off to the store to find a new box for my girlie supplies...
Where's that Mustang when you need him???

Cute title! I think I have the same makeup bag since I was in high school . . .at least since college. It's actually ESPRIT. Remember that crazy brand? Anyway. . .it could stand to be at least washed out. . .or tossed!
Congrats on the exercise! I need to get back on that road too!
You are funny and you are making me feel so old!
I still have a mini-caboodle! And use it for the same purpose. And Wendy, does your Esprit make-up bag match your overnight bag?! This is too much!
My mom would never get me a Caboodle! I wanted one bad. I am sad yours bit the big one. And yay on going to exercise! Drag me out to do it, its not like I don't live far away from the church. Why don't you just come on over and SEE my house? HUH?
