Gone baby gone

It's kinda weird when someone is out of town how you miss them more even if you wouldn't have seen them anyway.

Does that even make sense?

For example, tonight, Trophy Hub is out of town and I am lonely and missing him like crazy. Most nights he's at work and I'm content to be at home alone. I suppose it's the fact that normally, I know that he's coming home at 1am and that I will get to visit with him in the morning when we are both coherent.

So tonight...I'll just miss him and think about him.

4 again

Sometimes I wish I was 4 again.

When (at the drop of a hat) I could just cry if someone doesn't let me do something, makes me do something I don't want to do, wakes me up early, hurts my feelings or if I fall down.

I bet getting all that out immediately makes you feel really good.

Angry Birds

Everyone in my family (except me) is addicted to the game Angry Birds. The boys have been playing it on my mom's iTouch for about a year now. Trophy Hub and I both have Droid 2 phones with the app so now the addiction is more easily fed. I've got better things to do than play games on my phone (like blog!) so I haven't really gotten into it.

Tonight, Bubba was snuggling with me (oh how I LOVE that) and asked to play it. I obliged because it was almost bedtime so I knew there would be an end to it. I finally did the unthinkable.

"Bubba, can you show me how to play that?"

He did.

I played.

I sucked.

He squealed with laughter.

George

I think I want one of these! It's the George Forman 360 grill. We have the tiny one, but it doesn't cook much and its a pain in the arse to clean. With this one, there are different plates that come out that makes it easier to clean. Anyone have this one? Anyone? Anyone?

Good stuff

I don't watch much live TV. I have been spoiled by DVR and when I do watch live TV, I usually use commercial come to get something done. Like switch laundry, clean the toilet, load/unload the dishwasher. No minute is wasted in this joint.

So, anyway...when people talk about a commercial they saw most of the time I'm in the dark. Like when Trophy Hub kept asking me and others if they had seen the Swanson broth commercial. I had to search for it on You Tube so I could be in the loop. Yuck, by the way.

But I saw this commercial the other day and laughed out loud. It is my new favorite since this one.

Enjoy!

Today I love my...

Tupperware! OMG I am so old!

I went to a Tupperware party a few weeks ago (YES, they still have them!). I wish I had enough money to buy 2 of everything in the catalog, but since I don't, I settled on this little treats.



They are the FridgeSmart containers that have vents that help keep your fruits and veggies fresh for longer.

I got them a week ago, but they just sat in the box because I...ahem...didn't have any fruits or veggies to put in them. So, after my trip to the store Friday night, I chopped up my veggies (cauliflower, celery, carrots, lettuce) and washed my fruit (grapes, apples) and put them in the containers and in the fridge.

I am happy to report that everything tastes crisp, fresh and it's going quickly. That tends to happen with everything is cut, clean and ready to eat.

Now I just need a bigger fridge...

Flash mob!

In my opinion, Modern Family is the best show on television right now. If you aren't watching it, you are missing out. The last episode (Wednesday night) was probably the funniest one I've ever seen. Of course, I probably think that because there was dancing and lots and lots of Cam, who always steals the scenes.

Watch this. And if you don't laugh, don't talk to me.

Chores

The other night I was busy getting all the recycling and garbage outside for the weekly pickup. Peanut was watching me pull the garbage out of the can in the kitchen. This is a chore that I really do not enjoy (Trophy Hub usually does it).

So, I said to Peanut, "You know, one of these days this is going to be your job."

To which he replied, "No it won't. It'll be my wife's."

I dropped the sack of garbage on the floor in my laughter.
