And the choice between second hand skivvies and too small skivvies is a pretty easy one...
Once, I was out in the back yard at my parent's house with her daughter and a thunderstorm was coming...it was still way off but you could hear thunder in the distance. The girl started to get alarmed but I said "Oh, it's a long way off and thunderstorms are beautiful from a distance...let's watch it!" So we sat down on the patio and watched it approach (I would have gone in before it got too bad, of course). I talked about how great God must be if He could create such a thing as a thunderstorm. (She was about 6, I guess.)
Well, all of a sudden, while we're sitting there peacefully watching this storm in the distance, her mother jerks open the door, runs out, says "She's afraid of thunder!" grabs the kid and goes back in the house.
No my young apprentice. There is another way...
LOL!! Not for mine...I remember trying to convince Joshua that the boxers I got him (at a garage sale) were supposed to fit that way! LOL He thought they were shorts and came out with them over his briefs.
No sense giving Matthew a pair of boxers...he'll have none of it. He is the most "set in his ways" kid I ever knew (when it comes to things like undergarments.)
I fixed bacon and eggs at Scott's house...that was fun.
Did we even eat the morning you stayed here? I don't remember! It would have been the morning of the wedding that you were all here.
We could still use a cook in the morning. We could pay better than minimum (which is awful high here in Wash.) but there is dog-watching involved.
We stayed overnight after the wedding...but I don't remember what Ramius fixed us for breakfast the next morning...........
Well that is a surefire way to make a kid scared of something. After all, if mommy is scared of it and TELLS you that you are then it must be some pretty scary stuff.
Those were some GOOD dogs!
Ha ha!! I'll never forget laying there listening to the "rain", drifting off to sleep like I was at Tom Bombadil's house...only to find out it was your water sprinkler system. LOL!!! Then getting everyone up at the crack of dawn because I thought your TV channel was the clock.
Speaking of weather...meteorology is one of the big majors at the college here. There are pictures all over the place of interesting clouds and weather.
Yesterday we were in the conference room in the main building, and I got to looking at the pictures round about...and with about two exceptions, they were all of Colorado! Odd. I guess it must be because it's flat and therefore easy to see clouds coming? And maybe the altitude and the mountains bring about some interesting patterns? I dunno! But I thought that was kinda cool...
Well, it's understandable how channel 957 could throw you a curve. But that time of year it starts getting light about 4 a.m. way up here. It was gorgeous weather then, we ate out on the patio that morning, if I remember right.
That's right...I was afraid we'd be late picking OT up at the airport!
It was gorgeous....we had that great walk in the park later on. The first time I ever actually met Hair and Ecurb!
I had such a good time.
Good morning!
If you all only knew how badly I want to stay and chat, but I have over 30 payrolls to run. YIKES!
Expect me when you see me! ;-D
Have a wonderful day everyone!
Or maybe it's just another *sign*...
Hullo. Apparently I needed to catch up on sleep since I conked out somewhere before 9 and woke up less than half an hour ago. At least I have that luxury this week.
heh... its even easier when yuh don't own a pair of skivvies...
yeah... we love thunderstorms here... God's sound and light show...
yer s-i-l sounds like a pill...

Jake has attempted to go "commando" in the past... mrsnad was horrified and would have none of it... theboy was indignant and said "dad doesn't wear 'em..." I got a "look" from mrsnad fer that one...
