Seniors

My son took this picture with his phone while we were at Ihop. I know I did that weird onion ring at Ihop post, and you're all probably thinking "Jeez...they eat at Ihop an awful lot", but, honestly, we've only eaten there twice and it isn't my fault that some odd thing happens every time we go to Ihop. So, the above photo was taken from one of those plastic-stand notices they put all over the table. We didn't go for this offer. I mean, seriously, why would I need two seniors? One would be plenty, really. It reminds me of that Scrubs episode where JD goes to the pound to look for a new grandpa. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1G_cOGNJzk

Monday Morning Arbitrariness

(picture found on Google)

Yeah, I just invented a new word...arbitrariness. I was getting sick of saying/hearing "random", so I thesaurus-ed a new one. And, yes, thankyewforasking, "thesaurus-ed" is a new word, too. I'll be emailing Webster later.

People at Costco. Are you really THAT thirsty that you need to block the aisle with your garganutuan cart, zombie husband and 3 wandering children, just to get a one ounce serving of the new Tropicana flavour? Here's 50 cents - go to the front of the store, purchase a soft drink from the lady in the paper hat and get the fuck out of my way.

I feel bad for my cats. My dog Duckie is a "head-nommer"...she gives little nibbles on the top of their heads and their fur is always wet and stuck up in the air in odd ways, ala Cameron Diaz in "There's Something About Mary." Then the cats look at me like "Why? Why? In Egypt, we were WORSHIPPED, gadammit."

I love Ohio, but I'm pretty sure winter never used to last 6 months like it does now. Aaaaaaaaaand, how can it be bright and sunny outside, but when you walk out there, it's only like 20 degrees? This is not logical, Captain.

My fish look sooooo bored. There must be something I can invent that would make their lives a little more interesting. Fish basketball? Hula hoops? Maybe a little cube that releases a food pellet when they touch a certain spot with their nose? And why hasn't anyone ever invented fish toys? Certainly I'm not the first person with pet fish who just wants to see them lead happy and fun lives?

New (to me!) car!

I just got a 2008 Chevy 2LT HHR. It reminds me of a 1940's gangster car...something Al Capone would drive. It's gold and has running boards and chrome accents...very awesome, very "steampunk." The other day as I was leaving work, I had the door open while I was putting my stuff on the other seat. I noticed that dashboard had a message for me........................................ The REALLY funny thing is, "ajar" is one of my favourite words and I thought it was so cool and so very appropriate that my car would use "ajar" instead of "open." Kismet, no?

Cuteness!

Definately a 10 on the cuteness scale! Little Nom, who is now 8 months old, loves to "help" me when I'm working on sewing projects. She had a blast with the hem gauge last night! Then she needed a nap.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Fun-yuns at IHOP!

Me and the fam had us some brunch down at the IHOP yesterday and youngest son got this onion ring. We're thinking of selling it on Ebay....for now, it's safely in its take-home container in our fridge.

Think of it's many uses! You can carry this baby with you and just say NO to anything by holding the onion ring in front of it!

No alarm clock! No homework! No to emptying the dishwasher! No new taxes! No, I-won't-do-that-again-I-was-drunk-and-I-told-you-never-to-bring-that-up-again!

What? *ahem*

Wanna buy an onion ring?

Good luck, son

On Saturday morning, my husband and I were heading out to do some shopping. Our 13 year old son was still in bed. Mr. Twisty Ties said, "I'll let the dogs out one more time before we leave and you can leave a note for Sam." This is the note I left.

Merry Chritmas!

This is a really cute mug I got yesterday at Kohls. It was marked down 70%, so I only paid $1.79 for it. My favourite mug broke last week, so I was looking for new favourite mug. This one says "Blizzard Warning" on the inside rim and has some snowflakes etched there, too. Nom always has to check out what I'm drinking and she managed to appear out of nowhere (Ninja Cat!) as I was taking the shot. Yesterday we decided to get a jump on the whole "A-new-year-is-coming-let's-get-organized" thing and we bought some bins at Target and put our bedroom in order. I can actually put ALL of my shoes and boots in the closet now! Wow! Anyway...this sticker was on the inside of the bin and I added my own interpretation of what the warning picture meant, and taped it to the kitchen cabinet, in case anyone thought of storing something they shouldn't. I asked for this place setting as a gift. I saw it online and the bowl has my most favourite quote from "T'was the Night Before Christmas"..."the moon on the breast of the new fallen snow gave a luster of midday to objects below." This is just the perfect description of a full moon shining over a snow covered night. I plan to display the bowl in my curio cabinet year round. I probably use the rest of the place setting during the next "Chritmas" season.
