Today

1. So. Turns out your vacuum cleaner actually vacuums and doesn't overheat if you clean the filter. I know! Lucky it didn't explode on me before now. Death by exploding vacuum would suck. No pun intended.

2. Due to a serious inability to multi-task I had to make a choice today - fold laundry or do the Hustle. The Hustle won out.

3. When you get married, aren't you and your spouse supposed to compliment each other? Husband and I do in most areas but not in one: neither one of us likes to take out the garbage. We constantly have an overflowing garbage can. And it turns out those odor blocker trash bags only work if the trash is actually in the bag. How ridiculous is that?

4. I'm seriously thinking about becoming a stay at home mom. Except I don't have any kids. Does a fish count as a dependent?

5. Due to a crushed laptop compliments of Continental airlines, Husband had to purchase a new one. He has yet to move the iTunes files and as such I only have one song on the new computer. Summer Nights by Rascal Flats. I've listened to it seven times this morning. Now the only thing I can think its, "Summer nights, everybody feelin' SE-XY..."

6. I just love Walmart. During a recent trip, I was standing behind a lady at the self-checkout and noticed she wasn't moving up to use the open checkout stand. I tapped her on the shoulder and said, "Excuse me ma'am, I think that one over there is open." She didn't even look up from her magazine when she retorted, "It's broken, bitch." Awesome. I'm going to get a job there so I can experience that everyday.

7. I wonder if I'm starving my fish to death. He's constantly swimming at or near the top of the bowl. And whenever anyone approaches his bowl he swims madly from side to side. Either he's hungry or he has anxiety attacks.

8. I start my new job tomorrow and I'm terrified. I'm trying to calm myself down. Here's hoping I'm not completely incompetent.

9. I'm going to make Lorna Jones' chocolate cake today. There's nothing better than that cake.

10. I bought an air freshener that smells like cookies. Every time I go into the bathroom, I get cravings. I bet no one else has ever said that before.

I'm so stoked to know that your vaccuum isn't broken. I thought I'd killed it!! :)

PS you need to blog about your new job. I know nothing about it and I'm dying to hear more. Although, I am sad that all my favorite characters... the rude nurse, and Crazy will be going away. :(

does this mean you've gone public again?

Erin said...

Yes, public once more. We'll see how it goes - I've saved everyone's email addresses just in case I have to go back to private.

Holli - the post about my job is coming!

I doubt that your fish is hungry (be careful you actually don't over feed it!). If it's swimming up at the top of the bowl, it might not have enough oxygen in the water and this is its way of 'breathing'. Changing the water will help or possibly getting an aerator!
I so want chocolate cake! If is has icing you can make it for T.giving!
