Throwing Little Thought Pebbles at Your Windshield Since 1996
I currently have The Boy(tm) convinced that I can see through our kitchen table. Every time he stands there with his hands in his pants I tell him to take them out, and he said “How do you know what I’m doing” and I said “I can see through the table.”
Now he tests me every once in a while. As if the way he’s standing (arms close to his sides) doesn’t give him away. It’s the old “I have eyes in the back of my head” thing.
Did: Go the the grocery store
Did: Go to CVS
Didn’t: Remember to buy saline drops for me and junior
Did: Buy some supplies to make Xmas presents
Didn’t: Buy enough of the colors I need
Did: Figure out how the stuff in question works
Didn’t: Buy the instruction book so my thingy looks nothing like the samples
Did: Replace the stupid half burned-out lights on the deck
Didn’t: Buy the wayyyyyy cool remote control outside light turner-oner at CVS
There’s more but if I keep going I’ll have to add stuff to the Didn’t pile because it got too late to do them.
Huh. It just occurred to me that I haven’t really done anything in the Christmas card department yet this year. I should probably get on the stick. I’m not so much into those letters, unless you count the funny one I wrote the Christmas the kid was due…something about how I hoped the baby wouldn’t arrive on New Year’s Eve because my doctor might have had a few. It also covered the Great Cuticle Crisis of 1997.
Anyway, I don’t have a picture of the kid to put in the cards. Hmmm. Maybe we’ll work on that. I suppose this means I’d better check my toner levels and invest in some photo paper. Oy. Maybe it would just be cheaper to use a regular camera after all.
Just let me know if you’re tired of the weather posts. But remember, if I can’t talk about the weather, I will need something else to fill the space, and there’s not much to talk about here except maybe meal recaps and a play-by-play on my potty breaks.
It’s snowing again. 1-3 inches, they say. “They” could do us a favor and throw us a lovely 55 degree day, just so I can stand in my driveway for more than 2 seconds when I don’t have a coat on. I’ve been in this state for almost my whole life, and I cannot remember a recent fall that has had weather this cold and snowy. I mean, I’m sure there have been plenty, but November and now early December have just been mind-boggling. Tomorrow’s high? In the 20s. If it’s windy I’m just not even going to leave the house until Wednesday.
