Bric A Brac

(I think that's a fancy name for odds 'n ends.... just humor me if I'm wrong)

Things in the nut-house are nutty as we clean like crazy get ready for a much-anticipated visit from the "grands"... and Auntie. We rented a steam cleaner Saturday, and did all of the carpets and the uglier-than-sin couches. (DH asked me if I liked the couches now, to which I responded, "No. Now they're clean and ugly, instead of just plain ol' ugly.")



Some observations from the past few days:

1. Went to confession Saturday afternoon, and, I'm hoping it was the language barrier thingy... But I have never ever, after pouring out my soul to a priest have him tell me that Jesus was telling me to "just... stop it."

Wow.

Ouch.

2. That evening I went to Tom Pouce, to obtain yummy B & J ice cream treats for DH and I. Again with the language barrier thing.... The checker told the man in front of me to "have a nice time tonight" which I thought was entirely appropriate since he was juggling two dozen roses in beautiful vases. I thought he had maybe told the woman he was going to a party or something. But after ringing up my two pints of ice cream, she smiled, told me to "have a nice time tonight", and... enjoy my ice cream! I smiled, thanked her, and wondered why she didn't mention the potatoes I bought, or what she would have said if I had bought a pregnancy test or womanly unmentionables???

The possibilities are endless.


3. You just know you were meant to be together when your DH can't believe what he is hearing when DD #2 explains what Mama just pulled out of her bum. (I'll spare you the details...file it under what-every-new-mom-doesn't-want-to-know about the job description in her newly acquired job) DH just turned to me in amazement, and I made some snarky remark about it not being the highlight of my day. He said he couldn't imagine anything else being more memorable. To which I responded that we do have a sorry existence indeed... look at what highlights our day!

We both busted out laughing, and I couldn't get control of myself for a whole 5 minutes.


4. Cut everyone's hair, including my own. Which I also highlighted. Pictures soon.
