Thursday 13

1. For Valentine's Day, Q bought me some bracelet charms in my initials. But instead of an "M" for the last name, he mistakingly bought me a "T", which is the initial for my maiden name. Does he think we're still only dating?

2. Kyle got a haircut this week! A REAL haircut, not just a bang trim. Per his request, no photos will be posted...not even for the relatives.

3. Jango barfed on my favorite tan shoes. Since they are suede, the shoes are ruined. I'm just glad they weren't expensive, but DAMN they were comfortable.

4. I am grateful that she didn't puke on the bed. We were sleeping in it at the time, and it's no fun having to scare up a clean blanket at two in the morning. Anyway, the shoes WILL need to be replaced. You can't wear black with everything, people!

5. I got 83% on a geology exam last week. I talked to a couple of other students who didn't do too good either. I guess I should be happier than I am. According to the online grade chart, the class average was 66%.

6. On the other hand, I got 10/10 on Tuesday's lab quiz. Shocking because I was fighting a migraine at the time.

7. I am really going to miss The Adam Carolla Show. His vitriolic diatribes against the egregious irresponsiblilty of Octomom never got old...especially since the saga is just beginning.

8. Tonight's dinner menu: BREAKFAST! We will be having eggs, hash browns, pork chorizo, avocado, and enough hot sauce to hold it all together.

9. Why is a good sports bra so hard to find?

10. I love the rain, but with it comes weeds. We'll be doing major clean-up in the back yard this weekend.

11. You can never have too many hooks in the house. They're great for hanging things like keys, mops, jackets, belts, towels, scissors, and other crap that's always getting lost.

12. Lucas came home from school and gave me the heads up: there are jay-dubs in the neighborhood. When they got here, we pretended to not be home. We quietly laughed our @$$e$ off while they pounded on the door.

13. We knew they were gone when the next door neighbors' dogs started barking ape$#!t. I guess it's time to go get the literature off the porch!

Actually you should take that as a complement! Q still thinks of you as that young, innocent, blushing girl he fell in love with!

Papa, I absolutely took it as a compliment! When I pulled the T charm out of the box, we both had a big laugh.

Now, I need to return to the store and exchange the T for an M...and possibly spend more money while I'm there. :-))))

Tell the JWs that you were disfellowshipped from the church. They will put you on a list and never visit again.

Ms. Val said...

Christopher, how does one become disfellowshipped? Hang Christmas lights on the house? Throw a birthday party for their kid? Donate blood?

I suppose I could do that, but then toying with them would no longer be fun. One of these days, I'm going to answer the door pretending to be high and/or drunk--a role I can play VERY well with little effort. :-)

The boys got a real good laugh once when the JWs went to our biker neighbor's house. They beat a hasty retreat when this tough-looking, shirtless, dude with multiple tattoos and a beer showed up at the door. In reality, "Dave" is a very nice guy. Just don't try to impose any over-the-top religious rhetoric on him.
