Questions and Answers

I had thought about adding the 'Word of the Day' to my posts...inspired by my super good friend, MS, and this would be appropriate since it wouldn't be a daily word...hence...no pressure! However, here's another idea. Inspired once again by, you guessed it, MS.

I want to hear more about the hair in the fan episode.

Brilliant! Questions and answers! And you know I will try to be as precise in my explanation as I can be. (Maybe one day I'll tell you what the first 'word of the day' was going to be! It's a corker!!)

OK...I was bent over in the laundry room trying to find a carpet runner to put in a room. These runners are located underneath the shelves of bedspreads and pre-packaged sheets for roll away beds. Unfortunately, these shelves are behind a floor fan strategically placed between a huge cardboard box (filled with 40 of the ugliest drapes you have ever seen) which is also used as the 'stand' for the microwave oven and...a portable baby bed. Get the picture?

I rummaged around, bent over, looking for these carpet things and when I stood up, oh yeah, I forgot to mention that there is an air conditioner in the window behind the box with the ugly curtains/microwave stand...that was blowing full blast, which in turn, when I stood up, blew my hair into the fan. The oscillating fan. Take my word for it...this is a recipe for disaster.

Naturally, I was in there by myself and I was flailing around trying to find the knob to turn the fan off...it took a minute...while simultaneously pulling my head back out of the fan...which was... oscillating! I am missing a few hairs.

Now you ask, why didn't you just move some of that crap out of the way and make it easier on yourself to bend over and get the carpets?

I didn't think about it. Case closed.

Have I moved anything since?

Nope.

Here's a good one...were there any carpet pieces?

Nope.

This is my life. I won't tell you about the dog shit story.

There. That was day one...Q & A.

I am reading a new book. It's called 'Sh*t My Dad Says'. by Justin Halpern. It is very funny. It's about a young man who writes down the very funny things his Dad says as wel as short recounts of significant moments in his life. In the preface, he says that his friends told him he should start a blog about his Dad's off the wall, but incredibly practical, almost one liners are...so he did. I believe he also has a twitter following...I haven't checked it out yet, but I think I might. It's a small but entertaining book, I am almost done and I wish it would go on longer! Great light reading.

Did no craft stuff...ain't gonna do no craft stuff...just gonna relax tonight.

We had a really nice rain today and the sun is shining brilliantly now. It's around 6:45 pm. I think we have an 80% chance tomorrow. And I also saw that there was more rain (a tropical depression?) coming into the tip of South Texas again! I also saw that people were being evacuated in Laredo where one of the International Bridges was also closed due to extreme flooding....and now they are going to get slammed again! We get flooding here, also, but so far the worst thing plaguing us is massive amounts of green grass, mud, flies and those creepy ass water bugs!

I think I'll finish this book and take a shower. Not necessarily in that order. Have a nice night!

  3. Dear BFFMS

    I ordered Zippy and the 'sequal' She Got Up Off the Couch. They sound hysterical!. I can see that she has written quite a few books...

    Let's see...washing machine...around here?? Only choice is True Value I think...but...in Fort Stockton is Sears...(I think!) I don't know if they deliver or not...but for the money, I seriously would recommend them. Or a very large rock and a bucket. You decide...I can't tell you everything, you know!!
