This is my new little friend.
He has great toes, don't ya think?
I've seen him several times around my flowerbed in the backyard.
He makes me happy.
I scare the bejesus out of him.
This week in the life:
BSG is in Nebraska. Therefore, things that might go wrong...will.
It started with the washing machine tinkling on the floor. Just as expected, with an elderly machine, the repair man said it would cost more to fix it than it was worth. I want a basic machine - no fancy pants, give up your plasma to pay for it, computerized, new fangled thing...just the basic, throw it in and wash it, machine.
Yesterday I went on a reconnaissance mission for prices at several big box stores. The sales pitch for the fancy machines is that they are 'SO GENTLE' and your clothing will last longer. Oh, help me Rhonda! I already wear my stuff for years anyway...i prefer a machine that will beat things up, thank you very much. :)
Grim death comes in threes...#2 on the appliance death list is the AC. When I went to bed last night it was 89 degrees in the house. *Sweet mother* it was hot. Tanner was stirring at 0500, probably due to heat stroke & a lack of water, so I was up and at 'em early this morning. We took our am walk early just to cool off! Thankfully, the repair people can fit us in this afternoon - otherwise it would have been Tuesday with it being a holiday weekend and all. I could be really bitchy hot by Tuesday...just say'in.
Any bets on which appliance grim death will call on next?
In other news...I am the proud owner of a Shark steam mop!!! I am abnormally excited about this mop. ALL of my friends own one and rave about its superior skills. So far my jury is still out, as I have only used him once...but the kitchen tile feels silky smooth and squeaky clean. (using the barefoot testing method!) I am sure you'll be hearing more about this famous mop in future posts.
Over & out!

I thought for sure by the title that mr. froggie was gonna be squished!
Dear Lord, if I lost my AC, I think I would move into a hotel. I already told Daren we were keeping it cooler this summer because I am constantly hot!
Love the comment on my blog about the spreadsheet! ;)
Michelle, please tell us more about the Shark steam mop!
