Sent to me today….
Sent to me today by my friend that we both deem “Girl With Issues”. But I don’t care about the issues part since she likes my blog.

Question of the Day
Why would someone leave a tub of Fixodent on a bathroom toilet?

Maybe they used it to cement parts of the toilet that are broken somewhere?

i was thinking… why didn’t someone just trash it? cause for 3 days, it was just put in different positions in a stall. go figure!
Year of the Declutterer
For several years I have known I needed to get rid of clutter, but it never was that important. As the girls get older with friends to visit and my stronger desire to entertain, it is important. And maybe getting a dog. (That is another post.)
So I started before Christmas and I have been working on it slowly. My Anti-MIL has a dumpster and I am taking advantage of it. I have also made several trips to the dump.
It will probably take me until the rest of the year since I have so much stuff collected. I know it is part of my military raising. Your stuff made a house feel like a home. It is a slow process to change your way of thinking.
I am inspired by the Flylady.
I have read her book and received her emails. She talks about taking baby steps, but for the last 2 years I have been taking centeped steps.
Also inspired by the show Clean House and the idea of attaching emotions to objects. The host, Niecy, also has the no nonsense attitude of the FlyLady. Plus, the show makes me feel better because my house is not as bad at others. It is all relative. More here.
This site has good tips, but some of the poster and commenters are like uber-anti-stuff-like.

For The Guys Who Get It
A t-shirt seen in the Men’s department at Wal-Mart:

Moments of Bliss
It has been awhile since I posted something in the category.
Today my office building has electrical problems and they have shut the building down. Since the office is our main data center, it is down also. So no work today.
For the first time since the girls have been at school we were able to have lunch with them. They were surprised and loved that we brought Sonic. It was a moment of bliss.

Acting Cool….
…..at the car wash. Well, really before we went into the car wash.
On the way to the Grandparents tonight we had a hat to give to Grandpa. We tested it out first. The girls said they were “acting cool!”
Youngest said “I was doing the alien peace sign.”
Oldest said “I was doing the Longhorn sign.” (I say she was doing with flair!)

Cause They Could
Today I was visiting our plant location where many employees wait on standby for a job duty. While they are waiting some have a tendency to fall asleep. Others have a tendency to wrap toilet paper around them like a mummy. I have a tendency to think it is funny.
