Things I Learned Today

Another list ... you know I can't resist a good bulleted or numbered list:

1. If you jab four needles into a Toddler Goose's legs, then he will hurt so badly that he won't even be able to put weight on them when you get home ... for the rest of the day.
2. If your previously walking-all-over-the-place toddler becomes temporarily immobilized, you harbor secret happiness and put "Jay-Jay the Airplane" on repeat play in the DVD player.
3. It does not save time or money to MAKE your own Christmas cards. It also does not save time or money if you MAKE half of your Christmas cards and then BUY half of those photo-slot cards at Target IF prior to these two events you have done the following: First, you attempted to refill your printer's color cartridge rather than buying a new one. Second, even though you had done this before, you read all of the directions ever so carefully and STILL managed to crack the cartridge's "easy to remove" top. Next, you put the magenta in the turquoise slot and vice versa and print out a whole bunch brown Christmas prints of The Goose. Then, you go to OFFICE MAX and deal with a hot but stupid red head who wants to sell you an expensive PHOTO cartridge for your Lexmark Z42 Inkjet printer rather than you just using your brain and buying the much more affordable and practical COLOR cartridge (since you have screwed up the other one and lost money on the refill thing). When you get home, you discover that if you have the PHOTO cartridge you STILL NEED THE COLOR CARTRIDGE so you go back to a different Office Max with your sob story about the dumb red head and no receipt because you have lost the receipt amongst all the CRAPOLA floating about your hosue ... but ALAS they are fresh out of #20 Lexmark COLOR inkjet cartridges that go in Z42 printers and so you then have to go to OFFICE DEPOT and get one, which is what you should've done in the first place rather than trying to save a dime. I stayed up all night aligning those damn cartridges, printing out cheesy Christmas pictures and pasting them onto or into cards. And then Husband wakes up this morning and says, "I never have liked that picture." TIMING, people, timing!
4. I love Reba McEntire. I know y'all knew this, but the same guy who gave us that huge stack of CDs a while back just gave me Reba's 50 #1s album. I have listened to it nonstop for approximately 37 hours now.
5. Country music is going to hell. There is a song out now that is called "What I Love About Sundays." It has cute lines about the choir singing "Amazing Grace" and naps and ballgames and fried chicken and then it says, "59 cents offa ground round, baby CUT THAT COUPON OUT ... that's what I love about Sundays!"

I do not have time for this blog anymore. I'll still try, but lordy!
