Pinterest

I started a Pinterest page.  Mainly out of laziness.  I used to find things on the internet, print them off and give them to my friends.  "Look at this cool planter box!  We should build this!"  This saves paper, and human interaction.  Score!

Unfortunately I keep calling it "Pin-Interest" and my friend, Tina, keeps calling me a moron.

So far this is all I have on my page:


The internet is such an awesome time vampire.

Vacation Time

So we're watching the Olympics and they ran that hilarious Cadillac Ad.

Awesome Cadillac Ad

And we're laughing and John says, "I've got to show that to they guys I work with in France"

Sam, "What does it mean to take the month of August off, I don't get it?"

John, "In France, they take vacation for the whole month of August."

Sam, "Really? Even the kids?"

Me, "It's summer vacation for the kids so there isn't school."

John, "So I'd take the whole month off if we lived there."

Me, "I don't get time off so I wouldn't."

John, "You get every day off."

Me, "Really? I'm going to start taking every day off.  Starting tomorrow."

Sam, "Dad...we're gonna die."

It's all in the Timing

So this area's been in a drought since we moved here three years ago but this week it starts raining.  Just in time for me to house train a new dog.  Perfect.

Sam, "Mom! She pooped again!"
Me, "#$%^&*"
Sam, "I'm great at finding poop.  I'm the Poop Finder."
Me, "Well, I'm promoting you to Poop Preventer…….Hey, get back here…."

John, "So, how do you teach her not to crap in the house?"
Me, "Well, I caught her earlier and got her outside before she did anything."
John, "But how do you teach her?"
Me, "Um…I'm just going to…. hmm…teach her."
John, "So you're going to teach her."
Me, "yeah?"
John, "Good plan"
