liveblogging is always better in theory (much like communism)

Not shopping is also better in theory. Just so you know.

I did NOT shop today. (Okay I may perhaps have bought a lip gloss that smells JUST LIKE sugar cookies, but that’s it!) (And maybe another lip gloss that TOTALLY matched the Clinique gloss that I was literally SCRAPING the last dregs out of.) (And possibly an “eye lighter” which is like a cross between an eye LINER and a face lift.)

(And I may also have ordered the Universe’s Best Face Cream, because I am almost out and I NEED MY FACE CREAM.)

(But otherwise, no shopping.) (more…)

liveblogging the Fridge Crisis: holy crack!

I just went to put some more ice in the cooler (the one currently housing the milk and juice and half and half that we CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT) only to find that it is leaking ALL OVER THE COUNTER.

Awesome.

Feel free to start suggesting places we could go for dinner. Liquor license preferred.

oh for the love of . . .

I just broke another wine glass.

And I canNOT believe that I forgot to share THIS: before he left for work this morning, Wade VERY NICELY helped me change the light bulb in the laundry room (because OF COURSE the light in there burned out last night, to make things EVEN MORE FUN).

Anyway because I am so short, I can’t reach the ceiling mounted light, so he took it down for me. And found a scorpion inside the fixture.

Oh yes.

(It was small and dead BUT STILL.)

Fridge update: still not working.  Still not defrosted.  Still making me crabby.

you all are not helping me here

Why didn’t any of you think to remind me that I have a WINE REFRIGERATOR?

I now have a wine refrigerator full of cheese.

you know what would be FUN???

If I liveblog the refrigerator crisis!

Otherwise I’ll have to keep e-mailing Wade, who seems to be IGNORING ME. Sheesh.

Here’s where we are right now: new fridge (for the garage) will be delivered tomorrow. Because apparently I seemed pitiful enough. Or maybe the sales guy could see my bra.  I don’t really care as long a my fridge shows up TOMORROW.

I’ve tossed everything in the meat drawer (Charlie will be heartbroken when he realizes that his BACON is GONE).  And not surprisingly, that funny smell in my kitchen is gone now.  Hmmm.

And as soon as I can figure out where to put all the frozen French toast and waffles, I’m going to start defrosting the fridge, because according to the Very Nice Woman at the repair place, that MAY take care of it.  But just in case it doesn’t, she’s sending a guy for a service call next week.

Although he can’t come until WEDNESDAY because he’s booked Monday and I’m booked Tuesday.  Awesome.

Updates as they happen.  Stay tuned!

does it count as shopping if all I bought was a refrigerator?

Yesterday morning, I broke a wine glass. And no I wasn’t drinking at six am, I was making the boys’ lunches and the glass was in the sink waiting to be washed and I knocked it over and shattered it. Into the garbage disposal.

You know what’s fun? Picking shards of glass out of the garbage disposal! Before coffee! Awesome.

We’re down to three glasses for white wine and four for red wine, of the original I don’t know how many we got as wedding gifts. But I thought, meh, we can be European and drink wine out of juice glasses.

Because it’s the Month of Not Shopping! (more…)
