What's the deal with Miley Cyrus and her sticking out her tongue. Whenever I see I picture of her she has it sticking out????

I wanna cut it off. Problem solved.

I've lost my tan lines.

What's wrong with wearing shoes in the house?

I think Jennifer is a ninja or a Karate gal.
They always leave the shoes right by the door and go in socks around the house

Please tell us you didn't rehire him...?!

Oh no. I was glad that he resigned. Besides, I didn't want to be the one to tell him that Sarah wasn't president, after all.

Six inches of snow overnight and three more predicted.

Oh NO!!! Say it isn't so!

Last year half the lights on our prelit tree burned out a few days before Christmas. The only ones extra we had were orange Halloween ones so we had a half orange tree. It was unique.

I'm a bit hesitant to buy one of those pre-lit trees just for that reason. We usually put up 3-5 Christmas Trees.

Yea, funny how, back in the day, makin' sure ya' could actually afford a home before ya' bought it was just so darn stooooopid. You, know, "creative" financing, and all.

Never buy on credit, save up before you buy, and never take money out of your savings account was drilled into our heads growing up.

I've had terrible luck with the prelit trees, but that seems to be all that is available up here.
Last year, I got a good pair of scissors, cut out all the lights, working or not, and just strung it with new store bought lights. I also took the opportunity to swap out from mini clear lights to slightly larger, green and pink lights.
It took a little getting used to, but basically I was happy.
Hubby loved it. Didn't really want me to take it down.

Overall, the theme of my tree is Victorian, in purple, rose and cream (I weeded out the dusty rose years ago), so it worked.

Seriously, we don't do it. I don't know anyone who does.
Even in my boys' grade school, every child had to have one pair of outdoor shoes (or boots), and another pair of shoes or slippers for indoors.

I never had any.

Hubby and I do a 48-hour getaway to Buffalo twice a year.
Once in May, for our anniversary.
And once, the week after Black Friday, for Christmas shopping.

About five years ago, during one of our Christmas shopping trips, we went to bed one night with nary a flake in sight, only to wake up to 20+ inches the next morning. We had to mount a 5' snowbank to get to the Denny's next door for brekkie.
And then we went boot shopping.
When we arrived home the next evening, there was zero snow. Less than 70 minutes away.

Buffalo gets hit bad with lake effect snow. Looks like real snow. Feels like real snow. Paralyzes the city like real snow. But according to meteorologists, it's only "lake effect".

Okay, off to the dentist's.
My theory regarding freezing is "more is good, even more is better".

So, pardon me if my speech is a little slurred when I get back.

Much like my kids, the cats don't seem to know what "shush" means.
Same time, every night, Max must commence meowing non-stop, room to room, for well-nigh an hour.

Shut
The
Heck
Up
Already!

It sounds like Max wants to go out!!!!

My DS at lunch played Wall Ball with a Tennis Ball. Person against the wall was the target.

Sounds very similar to what used to be referred to around here as "Buns Up".
The target was indeed against the wall, but, with their backside facing the thrower.
