Just saw this picture, and — like any child-less adult — was properly horrified. Kids can do stuff like that??? Oh. My. God.
Thank goodness there was a fix!

Not Me Monday

  • This is not my first Not Me Monday post in ages. I am always on top of things.
  • I do not sometimes forgo cooking, and instead eat dinners that look like this:

  • I am not totally and completely obsessed with Glee. I watch mature television, like … the news.
  • I did not buy a copy of Guess How Much I Love You? while shopping with Best Friend on Friday night.
  • I am not obsessed with finding out with Twitter celebrities are real, and which ones are fakers. I would never “follow” a celebrity I suspected was fake, on the off-change that it was the real person.
  • I do not have an intense desire for honey-roasted peanuts, basically all of the time lately. I would never indulge in something so unhealthy when I could be enjoying a crispy carrot stick.
  • I did not throw a tantrum when Darling Husband’s computer crashed — losing my progress in Sims 3. That would be childish.
  • I did not “make a deal” with Little Dog last night, because she didn’t want to pee in the rain — and I didn’t want to take her. I would never resort to shady transactions with small dogs.

Fingers crossed

I am not one to get carried away with “potential symptoms.” Ahem.

But if I were one of those people to get carried away, I may have noticed …
  • I am super nauseous this morning. Right now, in fact.
  • I am not craving chocolate like I normally would be, with my period expected in four days
  • I do not have my “warning” blemish — that always means Aunt Flow is about to pull in the driveway
  • I am really, really, really hopeful for this month. We gave it a good ol’ college try, so to speak …
I hope I am not jinxing myself with this post, but I had to record it for posterity. Please please please please please!

Repeat after me: Third time’s the charm. Third time’s the charm.

UPDATED TO ADD: … and I was!!!

My Husband Rocks

Dear Darling Husband,


This week, on Date Night, you taught me how to play Rummy.

Or was it called Rummy 500? 500 Rummy? I had never played before, unless you count Sesame Street Rummy with Little Sis — and you didn’t.

I have always been a bad card-player, but you are a total card shark. It always amazes me that you can play any card game imaginable, and you win at all of them! You can count cards, which is like a freaking Matt Damon movie come to life.

Thank you for not laughing too hard at my bewildered expressions as we played — and for putting the cards back after I shrieked, “No! Please! I was going to pick those ones up!”

You’re quite a guy.

Love, your wife
xoxo
