Feels like: 50°F

Going to Run Some Errands

Then I'm going to yoga class.

Need anything?

Closet Watch Friday

Today on our little closet project, we are going to check in on the Mental P. Offspring closets.  The two of them are quite distinct in their housekeeping standards.  Come on in for the tour.  

Here is a closet in The Bird's room.

All her little dresses are all lined up and neat.

She's such a good baby girl.

Here are some of her shoes.

She has swapped her summer shoes out for her winter shoes.

Unlike someone else in the house.

Check out those leopard jobs.

I don't understand her fixation on shoes.

Seriously.

Where does it come from?

And here we have her laundry.

In its basket.

All neat and waiting for a spin in the laundry room.

Across the hall is a different story.

Augie.

He actually paid cash money for that jacket.

Isn't it something?

Here we have a collection of assorted boxes.

I also found a few Christmas wrappings.

Forget about even getting to the desk behind all this mess.

And, yes, those are pink and green sneakers under that football jersey.

Size 13.  Pink and green.

The boy's closet.

I've given up on that t-shirt collection there.

Notice all those empty hangers?

Here's all the stuff that belongs on them.

I count 4 beautiful neckties mixed in this heap.

And the laundry basket?

Is full of clean laundry.

From last week.

Gah.

This-n-That Thursday

It's been a while...

• I don't like the word stimulus.
• I wish AARP would leave me alone.
• Have you ever seen a "pretty little thing" with a poor old man?
• Should I renew my XM subscription?
• I wonder where Olivia Newton John's "drowned" boyfriend really is.
• Exactly how much is too much coffee?
• Has anybody seen any nice red cowboy boots in their travels?
• I actually gasped when I looked at my year end statement for my investments piddly stock account.
  
• I wonder what would happen to me if I decided not to pay a chunk of my taxes.
• When did Regis Philbin become a redhead?
• Speaking of hair, are you aware that cat hair can form a tumbleweed? But only on a dark wood floor?
• I had a dream that I was driving a school bus while wearing cross-country ski boots. What do you think it means?
• The next night, I dreamed that I was an olympic cross-country skier, and my special technique was just like a speed ice skater.  A la Hans Brinker.  

Virtual Vacation

It's the best I can do.

Now get back to those snow shovels.

Did You Know...

...that the recent $18 billion in Wall Street Bonuses (to bailout company employees) would have paid the tuition for every incoming college freshman this year?  Our tax dollars are hard at work.

The Rodent has Spoken

Six more weeks of winter.

Gah.
