I'm speechless.

That being said, I am in awe of someone's ingenuity.

And please, just for me, scroll down and read the ratings and comments on the product. There is discussion of sizing of the product in one of the posts, and that's all I'm saying.

How much was I lazy today? Let me count the ways...

1. I refused to fix my hair today. Ponytail and bobby pins for these horrific new bangs instead. That darn round brush is going to be the death of me.
2. I put on my only clean work outfit (although this fact is really due to a different day of laziness) and was really, really happy because no part of it required ironing. Because I wouldn't have ironed it anyway.
3. I just made the kids clean my living room while I sat in my chair and directed. Hey, it's their mess anyway. Yes, they wear adult size 10 shoes. What?
4. Instead of washing a kitchen utensil with dish soap, I used the hand soap because it was by the sink and the dish soap was under the sink. I was totally too lazy to bend over, open the doors, and get it. Plus all the putting the soap BACK under the counter was clearly out of my league today. I should get brownie points for actually washing the thing instead of justifying not washing it because it was just going into hot grease anyway.
5. I left work early (since there was nothing really going on) on the pretense of coming home to start laundry. I did, indeed, START the laundry. One load. I may pass out from the exertion.
6. I've read six books this week. That's it.
7. If I had my way, I'd read six more and do absolutely nothing else.
8. The kids wanted chicken strips and fries for dinner. I secretly was very happy they wanted those instead of ringos, because they like the ringos microwaved and operating two appliances was more than I cared to mess with.
9. I also had chicken strips and fries, even though I didn't really want them. See number 8.

Hope your day was as lazy as mine.

HOW DID THEY KNOW???

Actual letter received in this household:


Bonus: strategic placement of golf tee and school saver card to disguise identifying information about our location. We're sooooo crafty.

Shh...

It's been happening for at least a few months now, but I still can't believe it. MY KIDS PUT THEMSELVES TO BED.

*sniff*



The other one wasn't yet asleep, but happily reading into the wee hours of the night.

*sniff*

(By the way, have I mentioned how much I LOVE my new camera? These were taken in absolute darkness with the aid of my even newer Speedlite flash. And, tonight I learned how to "bounce flash". )

Short shorts in a cold land

Heard while watching What Not To Wear on TLC.
Abby: "Momma, she can't wear those short shorts in this cold land!"

Clinton and Stacy agreed.

Wondering...

if Abby doesn't talk all day at school, because she babbles nonstop for the entire 30 minute ride home!!!

Funny things that Abby does when nobody's watching

Crawl into a pillowcase, with the pillow...

and dress like this.
I'm totally sorry I called you Stinkopotamus today.
