Simple Pleasures

I poked myself in the eye today with a straw. While driving. I did not require medical assistance. Just soap in my mouth. As you all know I had to get a new fridge cuz mine broke on Friday. Yesterday, Alec said fondly as he patted the old broken fridge, "I'm going to miss you", and he sighed touching the old ragged smiley faced stickers he had plastered on the front door when he was in Kindergarden. I took Alec to the orthodontist yesterday. When we were back in town he asked me to swing by home so that he could "Meet the new fridge" which was delivered earlier. He likes it. It holds food and drinks. Life is good.

Don't Call Me Three Fingered Loui...yet

What I Did Today Went to church...Let the trumpets blow! And most people recognized me! Almost fell asleep in church...But didn't! Sang off key in church...But quietly. Wore a completely ugly outfit including short pants and long sleeved shirt and looked totally super stupid...But at least my pants fit around my barrel shaped waist. Cleaned my fridge out after finding out IT DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE! joy Went to the shop and discovered that my swirly/shake fridge door had been left partially open since Saturday and THREW OUT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF GOODS! joy On a happy side note if there is a happy to this...I was able to thoroughly clean the fridge when it was empty...Both of them. shit Bumped my head HARD on the freezer door...But didn't cut it quite wide open. Cut my hand on the ceiling fan....No not because I was doing something fun either...But didn't chop them off or bleed too much Cleaned the top of my home fridge off...and then...because I was that high in the air...cleaned the sofet on top of my kitchen cupboards which was a TREAT!! Top it off with insomnia and you have a good share of my day so far.

Hell Is A Stich in Time

I've been doing counted cross stich tonight. We (Shirley k's and Mark's pharmacy employees) are making a quilt for one of the preggo pharmacists. Only 1 or 2 know how to cross stich. The quilt should hold together really well. I personally have developed carpel tunnel just tonight. I'm done now. Not with the square...GOD no...not that. I will probably have to redo the whole damn thing. I mean do Teddy bears really ride on Geese anyways? Is that a happy little baby quilt subject?? A big ass Teddy bear with sharp claws riding a soft downy goose? I don't think so. I gotta go cuz there is a show on tourettes syndrome now $#%#^!!

My Favorite Pics from Old Fashioned Saturday Night!

Some Things That Have Been Going On: Seems like it's been a long week. Volleyball... a triangular that the girls won...but kept me on the edge with a slow start losing the first set and having to come from behind to take the victory. Football...the varsity boys were playing in Antarctica on Friday and lost. Andrew got in the game and made a block. I really never expected him to get into a varsity game at all...at least when I was looking. It's hard to watch for your kid when they all look alike. Anyway...he got 8.2 seconds under his belt and in football talk that equaled out to about a minute. Our anniversary...18 big ones yesterday...and we partied like it was 18 big ones all right. Actually...Mark's brother Mike sent him a bottle of Dom Perignon for his 40th birthday...1 1/2 years ago...and we still have it. Since my Mom's birthday is on Thursday we decided to uncork the champagne and live it up. Frankly, I was not impressed. Maybe age doesn't treat Dom well. I'd just a soon had a glass of Communion wine.
