| Thanks to Danifred for allowing me to do this every single week...it really helps. |
- Yeah, so I attempted to have a perfectly rational conversation with a child whose head was inside a cardboard box as he repeatedly slammed himself against the wall. What was I thinking???
- My contractor is royally fucking up my timeline for vacation. At this rate, we're going to be away for even longer and that kind of sucks. It doesn't suck that I'll have more time in NY, but it does suck that we'll be away from Husband for that long. He's pretty bummed about it and my contractor is seriously pissing me off. He's a nice guy and I think
hopehe'll do nice work, but his communication is piss poor...he talks in circles and switches subjects every 12 seconds, so whenever Husband asks me, "so, what did he say?" I want to burst into tears b/c I have NO IDEA what he said!
- Judging from the noises emanating from Dog's stomach right now and the fact that she puked last night, I'd say this day is going to be very interesting. Is it possible that the Milk Bones were bad? We're sticking with the dog treats from the CSA from now on...that's right, our dog only has farm raised dog treats! LOL
- I know this might be cruel, but you know that porch light thing that went around FB for Caylee Anthony...is it mean to mention that my porch light is motion activated? I'd be jumping in front of that thing for HOURS to get my point across! I'm just not that committed!
- Took my friend J out to sushi for her birthday. I had a Group.on. Our waitress was in a hurry to get out of there and totally fucked up our bill. She ended up charging us $12.62 for four rolls of sushi, a Sopporo, and 2 glasses of wine. She totally forgot to add the alcohol. It was at that moment that I was glad that I wasn't her teacher! We were loving life!
- It's 7:14 AM and I already feel the day getting away from me! Lovely! Here's what I have: spin, post office, pick up another present for Husband's b-day (the Crazies already gave him their presents...a monster truck and Princess stamp set...I will forever let them pick out their presents for him), get stitches out, lunch, naps, shower, grocery store, bake birthday cake, dinner, eat birthday cake, baths, bed...crap, when am I going to pack!!??!!
- Do you hate peeling potatoes? Check out this video I found recently...brilliant.

Wow - do you think that really works?
I too have tried to have rational conversation with my irrational 3 year old. I'm sure I look like a fool.
Our deck builders canceled on us today, too. Said they had to finish up another job today instead. What about finishing up OUR job? We've only been waiting since like March! ugh! Hope your contractor doesn't mess up your plans too much. At least its flexible.
yeah for being on the good side of the waitress's miscalculations! I returned a swim suit the other day and she refunded the wrong suit. Thankfully I realized it before heading out the door and she fixed it. I would have been PISSED if I'd realized she only refunded $16 instead of the $48 she owed me!
Have a great trip - hope you find time to pack!
i'm way too lazy to peel any potato. seriously. all of the skins stay on. even sweet potatoes.
we had our FIRST good experience with a contractor in April when we did our bathroom. he said it'd be done in a week and he was done in 4 days. it was awesome. otherwise i feel like it ALWAYS takes so much longer!!
a contractor we had in dc mumbled so bad that no one could understand him. it was always a surprise when the project was done! haha.
For whatever reason I have no sound, but I am amazed with the potatoe peel idea. Wonder if that works with potates in the microwave. Though honestly the only time I peel potatoes is for mashed potatoes and I rice those. Definately a top 5 gadget in my house. I hate chunky mashed potatoes.
Thanks for sharing the potato peeling video! Also, have you read about my, as you say.. "shitastrophy"??? I thought about you while I was dealing with it. HA!
I know this is going to sound terrible but whenever I read about the porchlight thing/ candles on the doorstep/ blah blah blah, I roll my eyes. I know it's the symbolism, but really, a porch light?
Here from FNL...sorry about the slow/sucky communicating contractor.
Have to admit I had the same reaction as Danifred to the porch light thing.
Loved the potato peeling tip.
How did you stumble across that video? I will totally try that the next time I need to peel potatoes. It's worth a try, right?
Well, maybe the extended vacation will be good and not as long as you anticipate.
I love the after-thought of those kind of converations - like, why did I even attempt that one!
