Why I Keep Him Around…..

After 30+ years, the man still makes me laugh.

As you may remember, we purchased a new washer and dryer earlier this week – they are supposed to be delivered sometime today.

Since Sarah is living at home right now, she gets up in the mornings and gets Rebecca ready for school while Paul is getting ready for work (Paul is so sweet – since my MG diagnosis, he lets me sleep in most mornings so that I don’t get too tired during the day).

This morning, as Paul is leaving for work, he leans across the bed, nibbles on my ear, and grins that mischievous grin that I love so much.

“Sooo…..when the new washer and dryer get here, you are going to wait until I get home to do a load of laundry, right?  Because I want to be her ‘first’….”

I was laughing so hard, I almost fell out of bed. 😛

Where There’s Smoke…..

I was looking for a music video this morning – usually I HATE the commercials that occasionally pop up with YouTube videos, but if more of them were like this one, I wouldn’t mind a bit:

A fireman, a kitten, and margaritas.

I’d better go check on that fire that I set earlier smell in the back yard…..

Washers and Dryers and Scorpions (Oh, My!)

..
You’ve all heard that old saying, “When it rains, it pours”…..

Our washing machine gave up the ghost yesterday. It had been giving us hints the past week or so, but when it sounded “wrong” yesterday afternoon, I went in to investigate and promptly got my feet all wet stepping in the water that was running out onto the floor.

Nothing I hate more than wet socks….

On Casting Stones: How the “War on Women” convinced me to vote for Mitt Romney

.

.
A Twitter war blew up the other night – lazy Capitalist that I am, I was laying on the couch, watching a TV show with my husband, so I missed all of the fun and excitement when Hilary Rosen – a highly paid spokesperson for the Democratic Party – temporarily lost her mind and made a bone-headed statement about how Ann Romney – the wife of the presumptive Republican candidate for President – doesn’t understand the plight of the Modern American Woman because Mrs. Romney has “never worked a day in her life”.

Bless her heart.

Time to brag on one of my kids again…..

One of the cool things about being a parent in the Internet age is that you get to see glimpses into your kids’ lives. Our kids are all really talented, each in their own different way.

I opened up my Facebook page today, and the first thing that I saw was this on Michelle’s wall:

Amazing….

Sometimes, you just need a good laugh….

A friend passed this along yesterday, and I just about fell out of my chair laughing.

We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Voter ID Laws….

So….our esteemed Attorney General is doing his level best to strike down Voter ID laws in many states. Voter ID laws that would require that people PROVE WHO THEY ARE with photo ID. Mr. Holder claims that requiring people to obtain picture ID would present a hardship for them, and that by imposing this requirement on them, these states are somehow “disenfranchising” them.

Well, James O’Keefe and the folks at Project Veritas have turned the tables on Mr. Holder:

How does it feel being disenfranchised, Mr. Holder?

Having any second thoughts about those laws that require a photo ID?

(I love the sound of this weasel being hoisted on his own petard….)
