It’s Thursday…oh, and it’s garbage day.  I’ll be right back. *long pause*  Okay, the garbage is out now.  I can continue.  (Look…I’m just like Kim now!).

So this morning, I have exercised, eaten breakfast, read all my email and responded and painted my nails.  Unfortunately, I did that before I took the garbage out, so now I’m going to have to re-do them.  Of course some of them are still really nice, but others are all chipped and dinged.  This is a problem because the nail polish remover needed to fix the damaged ones then gets on the good nails so they all need to be redone.  It’s a good thing my husband couldn’t care less about nail polish!

I have lots of other things to do today.  It’s now February and the budget is reset, so I will now permit myself to get some groceries.  And thankfully, I had enough milk to get me through breakfast this morning!  I also intend to clean my bedroom today, and I should grade (are you noticing that my to-do list this week is really just the same things over and over that I’m not actually getting to?).  Anyway, I think I want to go to Kroger and to Sam’s Club.  I really like just wandering around Sam’s.  It’s so fun to see what sorts of odd things they have and try to figure out exactly who would need such large packages of some of those products!   Of course, I don’t think most of their stuff is really a deal, but you can actually get good stuff at good prices (especially meat) if you are paying attention. 

One last thing…sent to me by my husband this morning.  Enjoy!

A couple goes on vacation to a fishing resort in northern Minnesota. The husband likes to fish at the crack of dawn. The wife likes to read. One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and continues to read her book.
 
Along comes a game warden in his boat. He pulls up
alongside the woman and says, “Good morning Ma’am.  What are you doing?” Reading a book,” she replies, (thinking, “Isn’t that obvious?”) 
 
 
“You’re in a restricted fishing area,” he informs her. “I’m sorry officer, but I’m not fishing, I’m reading.”  “Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I’ll have to take you in and write you up.”


“If you do that, I’ll have to charge you with sexual
assault,” says the woman. “But I haven’t even touched you,” says the game warden. “That’s true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.”


“Have a nice day ma’am”, and he left.


MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It’s likely
she can also think.

  1. That was a cute little story! And, I hope you get all the things on your to-do list done. But, you’ll just have to do them again anyway since they are things that don’t ever stay “done”! Oh well, at least you feel better for having accomplished them for the moment!!

  2. Cute story — made me smile!! I agree that not much at the warehouse places are really good deals. We did just get diapers there and they are a pretty good deal. I will probably start shopping for meat there now that I have the sealing machine so I can keep it in the freezer forever!

  3. Why does everyone try to be like me? I mean, I know I’m cool and popular and all, but still… *shakes head*

    However, Shan, you are not like me because you even attempted to do such a thing as taking the trash out AFTER painting your nails. For me, there’s a 1-3 time frame in there when my nails are “dentable” which means I will not do anything that might smudge a nail. That’s why my Sunday night schedule (EM: Home Edition, Housewives, Grey’s) works out exceptionally well as nail-painting time.

    I also love wondering through Sam’s — just ask Mom or Lindsey!

    Nice joke!

  4. Shoot… garbage day missed again.  Oh, well – we’ll try to catch it next week!

    Isn’t it fun to try to be just like Kim?   (If I knew how to do the laughing face, I’d totally do it – oh, I know… *laughs*.)
