  1. Old dude at the nursing home thinks I have "really nice legs"! At this point in my life, I'll consider that a great compliment!

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

      I've had BLTs for lunch twice in the past week. Once again proving that we should live closer together. And also reminding me that we're about out of bread.

      Well then, maybe BLT on a grocery list? I had a rough time last year getting it all together..lol now if my tomatoes would just turn red...

      No fair, Gail!

      TG, I have great-looking tomatoes and passable lettuce, but no bacon. It's on the grocery list! I have to get to the store before the produce goes bad!

  3. My washing machine just raised the white flag!

      Glad you got a new washer! I just meant it was tired. It's a fairly new Speed Queen and I LOVE it! Ds19 came home from college on Sunday. From the pile of laundry he brought, it looked like he must've been going naked for quite a while. He said, no--just stinky! lol!

      Oh, lol, I thought it was in its final surrender! I almost enjoy doing the laundry now that the clothes actually get clean.

      haha. Just a temporary one! I know! It's so nice having a machine you like!

  4. 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???"

      I'll tell my songwriter brother-in-law to get right on that! Haha! That same ds just tooted in the shower and said, "WHAT did they PUT in that TACO MEAT??" Lol! Maybe the sheep got blamed for something that was really ds's fault!!!

  5. I did a Very Bad Thing today. I bought 5 bags of Hershey's Chocolate/Almond eggs because they were half price! Think I can make them last a few months???

      Put them in the freezer but leave out one bag. Look at serving size and portion out into little baggies.

    2. Chelle in MO

      Good idea! I decided to give away 2 bags, so I could do that w/the others.

  6. Please explain to me why the parental controls on my tv block Dr. Phil's show about exes fighting over kids, but not a Jerry Springer episode about strippers! I don't want to watch either show, just find it fascinating.

  7. 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.

  8. College boy just left and I'm so sad.

      I read this and was immediately compelled to pop my knuckles!

      I knew it was you, Barb! Apology accepted. :p

       

      And T'smom--I figured it would have that effect on people! :)

  12. The garage frig might as well be a freezer this time of year!

  13. If you give a WTM mom a "Like," she's going to want a reply to her post. If you reply to her post, she's going to want a PM to go with it. And if she gets a PM, she's going to want another Like.

      Now all you're missing is a PM! ;)

  14. 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.

  15. I had a list on the kitchen counter of things I needed to do for ds17's birthday dinner tonight. One was "make tea." I just noticed that beside it, dh wrote "WOOHOO!" :D

      It means that I'm good at spinning things positively or negatively. (It actually isn't good to be a spin master but I admit that I can do it on occasion. I worked in marketing at one point. . .)

    3. Chelle in MO

      Chelle in MO

      Oh! I get it! See? There goes my 103 yr. old brain again! I actually had "spin class at the Y" in my head. lol.

      And I had already forgotten that *I* had started the use of the word spin in this conversation. Ugh.

      Well, drat! But, on the bright side, we get another game here in town!

      Not such a good outcome today. Hopefully they'll get a win here at home on Friday!

  19. I used to long to go grocery shopping by myself. Now that my youngest child is 11, I love having any of the kids with me!

      Do they help carry the bags in for you?

    2. Chelle in MO

      Chelle in MO

      Oh, yes. And they push the cart, pick things off the shelves, load the bags into the cart...it's so much more pleasant than when they were busy little boys! The only thing I haven't gotten them to do yet is PAY for the stuff! :) And I do really miss those little boys...

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

      I don't know what those are, but I'm glad you're happy! ;) Off to Google...

      Thank you! I've been holding back tears today! I think I can make it through the drop-off tomorrow, but I'm not promising anything after that! ;)

  23. I have a love/hate relationship w/shapewear.

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

      What in the world? Now I see birthdays! Happy birthday, people!
