I shouldn't have read the thread about paranormal activity...in a magazine I was just reading, I thought the headline said, "State Fair Offerings Include Live Demons." It actually said "Live Demos." Ooops!

Why do I turn back into a 14 yo when I visit my mom? :)

Last weekend's update was my pity party about always burning a pan of cookies. This weekend I baked not one, but two batches and didn't burn a single pan of them! Woohoo!

Why do I have to burn a pan of cookies *every* time I bake? :(

X-ray showed that ds's ankle isn't broken! Yippee! Now to get the healing time to pass quickly so he can get back to his job and baseball season!

Not Me struck again--twice in one night! First was a full dinner plate left untouched by the sink. Second was an empty paper towel tube on the holder. Nobody fesses up. Drives me nuts.

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.

Who knew Costco would close at 6:00 tonight? I sure didn't until I drove there and saw the empty lot! : (

I've started setting a place at the table for Not Me.

I do not like public restrooms!!!!! (Whew. I feel better now.)

Mmmmm...chocolate covered strawberries! I'm munching on some that dh bought for me from a Bible Quiz fundraiser..

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.

Well, I didn't get to be the dog in pink rollers very long.

I love when FIL comes to cook catfish for us, but it sure makes my OCD go into overdrive!

Teenagers can be a mixed bag sometimes. :p

Kinesthetic learners can be a bit challenging to those of us who aren't! Sit still, wouldja!

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

Why do 16 yos have selective memory?

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! :)

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

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

Ordered fleece sheets online. Box came yesterday. What word was on the side of the box? FRAGILE.

What does it mean to "microdermabrasion" a cranberry muffin? If you're my mom using her iPhone, it means to "microwave" it! Crazy autocorrect!

Irony. The opposite of wrinkly.

You stole 211 cookies!

Rules of the game: if you find this (anyone except the cookie thief themselves) then post here to say "I caught the cookie thief! BUT... someone else took 212 cookies from the cookie jar!" That way we know this player has been caught and we'll look on another profile. Next, copy this entire post and paste it onto someone else's profile (player must have more than 100 posts and must have been active in the last month.) Lastly, change the numbers so each increase by one. It will be easier to track that way. Please post your findings in the thread entitled SOMEONE STOLE A COOKIE! Forum Game. Have Fun!
