Things That Are Making Me Smile

*The PROJECT FROM PRESCHOOL is done! For Missy , anyway. Big Red's needs to be done as well, but his will be much smaller scale and not nearly as fancy.

*I love Costco's online rebate system. SO EASY to just fill out the info online, no proof-of-purchase-clipping, receipt-highlighting nonsense. Thank you, Costco!

*The Black Eyed Peas single "Boom Boom Pow." Yeah, the lyrics are silly, but you should see me shaking my business, getting down to that song. Whoooooo!

*This face and the crystal blue pool behind him. They've been in the pool every day for the past two weeks and I am loving it!

*My mom and I were talking about how trapped she's been feeling, caring for my dad full time and she was telling me that she needed him to be healed, either here or in Heaven.

I replied, "I know, Mom. You don't want to tell God to shit or get off the pot, but..."

"No, I don't," she said, "because I would be the one cleaning it up!"

Thank you God for not striking us dead in our blasphemy.

*We're running errands last night and drove by a tuxedo rental place. Mr. Clairol turns to me and says, "Do you think there's a market for ass-less tuxedos? You know, like the chaps?"

I swear to you, I laughed for miles. And yes, he has an excellent ass.
