1. I woke up this morning with "Copacabana" stuck in my head...

2. How is it that I set my alarm clock for earlier than usual and ended up rushing for work and then forgetting my coffee? What a start to a long day!

3. "At the copa, copacabaaaaaa-na!"

4. I joined Digg this week, and have added over 500 "friends" to my Digg account, and have Dugg some other people's blog posts, but so far, no one has Dugg any of my posts.

5. Yes, this is an unabashed plea to Digg this post. Grovel much?

6. Digg has a different idea of friends than I do. I would call 99% of those people on Digg "contacts" instead of "friends" - just adding someone to an internet social network doesn't make them a friend. I mean, it's not like I'm going to be having them over for tea and gossip any time soon.

7. Whenever I see the little white flowers of bacopa in a container garden, I hear the lyrics of "Copacabana" in my noggin --- "ba-copa, ba-copa, cabana!" This trailing plant makes a great filler in hanging baskets or large container gardens. Here's a close-up of bacopa flowers:

8. Yesterday's "What's Under The Microscope?" Wordless Wednesday was indeed split ends! Thanks for everyone's guesses! That reminds me, I need a hair-cut...

9. "Her name was Lola..." Is that in the lyrics to "Copacabana" or is that just stuck in my head because that's what the little girl wanted to re-name Jazper? (You have to have read my recent "what people have said at The Wren's Nest" post at Blue Ribbon Bloggers for that Lola reference to have made any sense...)

10. You know you've watched too much "reality" TV when you wonder where these people get things... I mean, when Dean got the gay cabana boys for Tori when he went scuba-diving with the Rainbow Flag scuba dudes - where did he get the cabana boys? My mind went right from "aw, that was sweet" to "where do you get cabana boys at the spur of the moment?" I mean, they are in LA, so maybe you just open up the Yellow Pages to "Cabana Boys R Us" or something...

11. I Googled it... her name indeed was Lola, she was a showgirl, with yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there...

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....don't fall in love
(Copa) don't fall in love...

12. Now that you probably want to strangle me for getting "Copacabana" stuck in and endless loop in your head, what was the last song that was stuck on replay in your brain?

13. And finally, no "Copacabana" flavored post would be complete without a glimpse of Mo-mo-miranda. Graphic by Jannagraphics:
