Random Tuesday Thoughts, Bird, Appliances are Toast.
Hey there Readers, you know it's Tuesday when....
Yep You know it's Tuesday when I mention Dentist. I'm slow on my game though, my Tuesday Dentist was last week. I don't know how it happens but Tuesdays just happen to be the best days for me to get any dental work done. I think because well Mondays are you know Mondays, and who really wants to fog up a Friday with the potential for "oh you have a cavity" or "yeah we're just going to take some xrays" (oh how I hate biting on those films). So Wednesday of course is the Camel's Day, can't mess that up, so Tuesday it is, because Thursday is just too close to Friday. Am I right?
So I ended up posting about my month of toasted appliances. Last weekend during Thanksgiving our Microwave died. I was trying to pop popcorn for my snack before turkey dinner. You know the snack you eat to keep you from eating 2 meals before the food gets to the table? I put it in 3m4sec and start... about 2minutes in I am smelling this off burning electronics smell. You know the one? Yep not one single popped kernel in the bag. The only thing I did the week before differently? Clean the microwave and ask my Son to clean all the stuff around it. So good bye microwave. I did some personal inventory. Do we need a microwave? what other than my popcorn and tea reheating do I use it for? I haven't bought a new one. The boys do use it for their easy mac, but oh well, real KD it is. They know how to use that pot on the stove. If they water needs to boil a bit faster? we can plop it in the kettle and then transfer it. (Please Kettle don't give out on us). So that little disaster is solved, we'll wait for a really good sale or get used to life without the microwave.
"You know kids? I didn't have a microwave in my house until I was like 14? "
Next up this past Sunday Hubbie is getting his lunches made for the week to take to work. He reaches in to the freezer and said "ewwwwwwwwwww". I look and he's squashed one of my "I'll save that for later, black bannanas." It's no longer frozen, Squish Squish! We do some more feeling around in the freezer and realize nothing is as cold as it should be... oh no! So this is how that FB status started Monday morning.
This week I'll go with the wine Badge!

"Dear Fridge,
There was no Memo, just because the microwave up and died last weekend doesn't mean it's your turn.
Dear Car Fridge,
you may be my new best friend. Keep keeping that milk cold? K thanks.
Dear Milk,
No I will not eat you as fast as I ate the ice cream last night.
Dear stomach and butt,
yes that was a on of event, no we will not be buying any more ice cream."

Monday was also my Avon order day, so I had plugged some orders in that morning and got another later in the day. As I got the email I'm thinking of the Stride Rite Gum Commercial with the Ostrich.
"Ring another one up for the Bird" yep!
This weekend we will be back to Curling for the younger 2 boys. So winter is on the way. The snow is on the way. Yes I said Snow!
This week I'll go with the wine Badge! Sunday, October 20, 2013
These Last
My Mr Middle turned another year older. Another Birthday has come and gone and so he's another year closer to a Driver's Licence and the legal Drinking age, and Graduating and so many more things that come after these birthdays.
While he's getting older he's also getting more responsible. He planned his own party, all we had to do was fork over the moola. WOW! He took some friend with his Dad and wallet. I think the Wallet was the key to the whole plan?
While they were playing Lazer tag I was home cleaning house as Mr Middle also decided that his friends were coming to the house for cake and pizza. The boy had plans. We did our best. He's a happy Camper. While in the arcade of the local spot for fun he had tickets to cash in, one of the items he picked up was this...
They are much larger then the ones that littered the bottom of our Halloween bags. The bottom because they were the very last thing we'd eat and today when I took one out of the wrapper I was reminded why they were always so easy to find at the bottom of the bag. ick!!! If everyone gives my kids these for Halloween this year? their Candy will be safe. And it is on this note we move from the Thanksgiving, birthday portion of the month and on to Halloween candy belly ache. The boys are counting down. They are also still working on picking out their costumes. Last minute! yep even Costumes will fall under "These Last"
To my new readers, I say Hey! welcome and thanks all for reading.
