Fresh, Hot Wastes of Time

Found by my cat, under the toe-kick of my husband’s sink in the master bathroom.

Ever get a “PLEASE FORWARD THIS MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW” mail with 100 people in the To: field that included 2 megs worth of picture files?

Respond with a link to Thanksno.com. They say nicely what I’ve been trying to tell people for years. “I still love you, but please respect my privacy and quit sending me junk!”

Me: *gnawing on a pork chop bone*
Hub: Are you eating a bone?
Me: *nods*
Hub: What happened to that debutante I married?
Me: *burps*
Hub: Oh.

I got my first (sort of) grade – 10 points out of 10 for the first week’s discussion. I’ve also written my first paper in years. It was actually kind of fun. I’m totally digging on this Omni Outliner program that came with my new MacBook Pro.

Caroline brought home lice from school a couple of weeks ago. Thanks to my sister-in-law, we were able to get rid of them pretty quickly. The recipe:

Use the regular lice shampoo as directed. Let hair dry completely. Saturate hair with Cetaphil soap and wet-comb. Do not rinse! Blow-dry hair and let the Cetaphil sit there overnight and smother the bugs. Repeat every day for a week or so, then use the lice shampoo once more. Make sure to wash bedding and spray mattresses and such daily.

The Cetaphil makes your hair a little stiff, but not totally gross like the mayonnaise or olive oil remedies I’ve seen.

Due to the fact that apparently some perverts have been passing around the URL for my kids’ pictures on an incest chat site, I’ve removed public access to their pictures. Email me if you would like a login.

From the utterly bizarre files…

This guy taught himself to sing Stairway to Heaven backwards. He then reversed the video.

Boo:

– Air conditioner broke
– 4 year old brought home lice from school
– Tree fell onto the garage

Yay:
