OCD continued… March 14, 2008

Most of the time Ray is not OCD about much. There’s one thing that he is OCD about that drives me crazy. And the other night I totally busted him on it! Shaelin has many different colors of sippy cups: pink, yellow, blue, green. Ray MUST stack them in the cabinet according to color. That’s not the part that drives me crazy.

The other night I had put the cups away, stacking them randomly. For some reason, I am not OCD about the color stacking. I went upstairs to do something, came back down, and CAUGHT him in the cabinet, re-stacking the cups according to color! Isn’t that hilarious???!!!

So he can no longer point the finger when I do the same if he doesn’t fold the towels correctly. heh

Can you say OLD???!!! February 6, 2008

So I’m at the doctor’s office today. There’s a young girl next to me checking in. The lady at the desk went to put an ‘08 sticker on her folder and she accidentally turned it around. She made a joke that it would be 1980 instead of 2008. The girl says…”I wasn’t even born back then.” I burst out into laughter and then quickly calm it, as it seems rude. But I was already ten years old by then! It just seems wrong that the 80s are now considered “history.” And this is dedicated to my niece Liss, who wasn’t even born back then, either!

The Search for the Perfect Tree…and a lapdance January 3, 2008

So I’m driving home one day before Christmas, and I spot this gem. Christmas trees for sale at a STRIP CLUB, people! The photo is not great, as it was snowing and I was literally slowing down while driving to snap it, but you get the idea. What’s next? Nativity scenes for sale at the local bar? Sheesh.

Conjure up this image…

Mom: Sally and Jimmy, get your coats. We’re going to pick out our Christmas tree.

Dad: Yes, I’ve got a special place picked out this year, kids.

(As they pull in the drive) Jimmy: Daddy, what’s “Las Vegas Revue?”

Sally: Daddy, what are showgirls? I want to be one.
