Actual Craigslist ad today: three bats for sale--asking $300 for all or $75 a piece. Hmmm...which deal should I take? I'm thinking the $75 each would make more sense! :)

Any reason NOT to do Receipt Hog?

Candy corn is not an acceptable alternative to chocolate.

College boy is home!!!!

College boy just left and I'm so sad.

Dh called and said, " The good news is that the van is ready to be picked up from its $3500 repair. The bad news is that my car is going home on a towtruck." Wow.

Dh is so funny! He just texted me and said, "Ree says hi!" along w/a selfie he took next to a life-size Pioneer Woman poster at Walmart!

Dh's thrift store SCORE--Pampered Chef large bar pan for $4.50!!

Don't be like me...address the OUTSIDE envelope of the graduation announcements, not the INSIDE one. Because even if you decide to redeem the situation by mailing them w/out the outside envelopes, you'll be very disappointed to discover that the inside envelopes don't have any glue. Sigh.

Don't do what I did and write your child's height down on the graduation gown order form as a foot shorter than it really is.

Don't forget to turn the heat back on at night after turning it off during an unseasonably warm day! The lightbulb over my head went off at 4:30 this morning! Ooops.

Don't pour the new bag of flour into the canister ON TOP OF the scoop.

Driving down I-75 behind a pickup w/a sheep in the bed. Ds pipes up from the back of the van, "WHAT'S THAT SMELL??? Is that DAD???"

Driving practice w/ds15. Had to break out the stress-relieving chocolate--homemade peanut clusters!

Ds11 is getting Christopher Robin and Peter Rabbit confused! He said, "Who's the kid in the Pooh stories? Peter Robin?" As we were talking about it, he asked if Beatrix Potter was related to Harry. Lol.

Ds17 found the perfect Valentine card for a homeschooling mom! It says, "For all you do," then lists a bunch of things. The very first thing is "teach"! He was so happy to give it to me! The younger 2 boys gave me homemade heart cards. Sweet.

Ds19 is bringing his gf home tonight for the first time. Ds12 just walked into the livingroom and said, "The guest bathroom hasn't been this clean since the war!"

Fastest way to go through a roll of toilet tissue? Colonoscopy prep! Blech.

Got gas for $1.99/gal at Costco today! Woohoo!

Happy birthday--nobody! You'd think w/56,000+ members, somebody who was born on this date would've put in their birthdate!

Hey, I wasn't sure how to do this type of message...I posted on my Visitor Message page in response to your earlier message, but I'm not sure if the system lets you know if I do that. Anyhow, thanks for saying hi, and go check out my other message to you if you have time!

Hi, Parabola! I've never done this type of message. To what do I owe the pleasure?

Chelle

I am loving the January thaw!

I beat ds16 at ping-pong!!! (Never mind the 15 pt. handicap...hee, hee)

I can't seem to get all the ingredients for a BLT into the house at the same time!
