8:32 am June 18, 2007Lame apologies, crapping birds, and make-out couches
Alas, dear readers, have you abandoned me? When we last spoke, I gave you nothing more than mere computer code drivel and a couple pictures of adorable kittens. I could almost hear you screaming “Get out of here with that weak sauce!” at me, through my monitor. Your lack of commenting spoke volumes, and I deserve it. Leslie, you’re too kind. You don’t have to comment on crap like that, but you did. *sigh* You’re a true friend in blogasphere. And then, as if the n00b kittens thing weren’t enough, I up and disappeared for a couple days without so much as a comment on someone else’s blog. It’s true. I haven’t even turned on my laptop for two days, which is unheard of in this house. Normally the kids are used to seeing mommy wake up, crack open a diet coke, and check her email in the soothing blue glow of the laptop light. Sad.
But so much has been going on in RL! (That’s “real life”.) So much that I don’t think I can get it out there in one post. So in this particular post I will just focus on the fact that we cleaned out the other half of the garage and now BOTH of our cars are in the garage. It’s a miracle. Angels are singing. Birds are singing…they’re singing sad songs, though, because they can no longer crap on Jon’s car while it’s parked in the driveway under the big maple tree. (So take THAT, stupid, crapping birds! In your little, tweeting FACES!) We also gave away the couch that had been sitting in parking stall number 2 for the last… well, since we moved in in October. The girl who ended up taking it was so happy. I felt like Santa. It was time for the couch to move on to some cruddy UVSU student apartment, where barrages of horny teenagers will be making out on it for weekends to come. Poor little couch wasn’t seeing that kind of action sitting in our garage. So I felt giving it away was really a win-win for everyone. Oh, and also while cleaning out the garage, I found more boxes of long-lost books! Yippee! Now I can finally take down the Christmas themed ‘pine and holly berry” crap that still adorns the long plant shelf over the family room. Seriously. I still have pine and holly berry decorations up and it’s June. But I had nothing else to put up there, until I found four more boxes of books. *ahhh* It’s all coming together so nicely.
Other good things that came out of the garage cleaning: I smushed one big, juicy black widow (one down, 73 to go); we plugged in the extra fridge, which is now the “beverage fridge”. A beverage fridge… how excessive and awesome. I feel like Paris Hilton. Before incarceration.
And yes, the fridge is filled with Diet Coke… and Capri Suns for the under 16 crowd.

I noticed you’d gone missing. I even began to wonder if I’d done something wrong…”Why hasn’t she commented on my blog? Did I offend her?” I asked my computer screen. I hadn’t considered that thing…what was it? “Real Life.” Hmmm…maybe I need to get one.

P.S.
It’s true that I’m a faithful comment-maker, but a LAME one. What I lack in intellect, I make up for in loyalty.

And volume.

@Leslie- You are my number 1 commenter. I don’t know what I’d do without ya’. Some evenings, when I’m feeling sad and thinking I have not a friend in the world, I look at how faithfully–and frequently–you comment me. My self-esteem thanks you, She-Grim.
