Since I have teenage boys that I had to keep reminding that Mother’s Day was today, I went out and bought myself a gift, from them. You know, to save them the trouble, right?.
I got a new kitchen trash can. Oh this isn’t just your ordinary trash can! It’s a Simple Human - Fingerprint-Proof Rectangular Step Can. It is by far the sexiest trash can I have ever seen, and I stimulated the economy all right.
See for yourself…
Oh dear God…what path did I follow that made me think a trash can was sexy? Oh I know! The kind where I don’t have to clean dirty ass fingerprints off a trash can path.
If they set this one on fire, they are dead!
Mother’s Day, Mother’s Day gifts
My husband saved my life last night. I was snoozing away around 2:30AM, oblivious to the world, when our house filled up with smoke. It woke him up, and he ran out into the living room to help put out the fire that started in our guest bathroom trash can. We’re not 100% sure how it started, but we found two teenage boys standing there. One saying, “It wasn’t me! Don’t look at me!” and the other one in panic mode pouring water into the trashcan.
We opened up all the windows and tried to air the house out the best we could. I crawled back into bed with the blankets pulled up over my nose and went back to sleep. I think my last words to the boys were, “We will talk about this tomorrow night when I get home from work.”
Now excuse me while I go check on our renters insurance coverage…
house fire, teenagers, boys, grounded
It’s hard to believe that my oldest son will be graduating from high school next year. If time flies at the same speed it has in the last 17 years, then graduation day should be here in about 8 months. Really! Where does the time go, and can I get some of it back?
I was thinking the other day about plans for his graduation party. I’m not sure if I want it here at the house, or if we should rent some type of small banquet room out at a local restaurant. I guess it’s up to him if he wants just family there, or if he wants to invite his friends as well. I’m sure he’ll want a mixture of both.
One thing that I am going to make the final decision on is the invitations. I want to use photo greeting cards that have his graduation picture on them, like these:
All I need to do is upload or email a high resolution image to CardsDirect and they will print the cards, and add whatever text I want. They will email me an electronic proof of my card to approve before the final printing is done. This ensures I get exactly what I want!
What I was thinking by using these, is that everyone will get to see his graduation picture without me spending a fortune on a huge photography package. I’m so smart like that. HA!
My neighbor across the street has what I call “The Man Garage.” When he opens the garage door it looks like a studio apartment in there. Neon beer signs, a couple reclining chairs, a TV, refrigerator, a computer, a set of drums and a guitar. Basically it’s all the husbands crap that the wife didn’t want in her house. I don’t know them at all, but every time I see him sitting in that reclining chair with the remote control in his hand, it just cracks me up, and I want to ask him why he basically lives in the garage. I can just hear his wife saying, “Leave me alone, go to your garage!”
Anyway, what made me think about this is, he watches Jerry Springer daily. So when I am in my bathroom with the window open, all I hear echoing through the neighborhood is, JERRY JERRY JERRY JERRY! Yep! He needs a “Man Garage.”
man room, garage, Jerry Springer
Not really, that would be sad 
I’m still feeling crappy, but I love my Roomba. I can lie here and die on the couch, while my carpets are getting cleaned. The cats on the other hand, don’t think it’s that cool. They like to watch it run from a safe distance above the floor.
