GLEE - "Forget You" Full Performance feat. Gwyneth Paltrow!

Been there, done that!

I reminded Jaclyn that we weren't going to have a b.day party for her (I'm actually throwing her a surprise b.day party) but that we would save the money and go on a trip. She told me that she wanted both a party and a trip. "No, just a trip this year", I said. She replied, "But what are we going to do on the trip? I have been to Vancouver, Whistler, Disneyland...There is nothing left for me to do. I have done everything."
Later on in the week, she asks me again for a b.day party especially having attended many of her friends' parties (March is a crazy b.day month). "No, not this year", I said. "Well, then, can I have a party for my 8th b.day?"

Oh, is she ever going to be surprised to see her friends at the bowling alley on Wednesday!

That's It!

Since last fall, sometime in November, our electrical outlets on one side of our wall have not worked which included the refrigerator. So for the last 4 months or so, we have been using our spare fridge in the garage. At first, it wasn't that bad. But slowly, it started to drive me crazy walking in and out of the garage to get whatever out of the fridge. So I finally got around to calling an electrician. He came on Monday and checked the outlets. He pushed a reset button (called a GFI?) on one of the outlets, and then voila, the fridge came on. I said, "That's it?" And he said, "That's it!". And that was a $75 visit!

taught well

You know you've taught your children well when you hear your older child say to the younger child, "Go get it yourself. Mommy is not your slave!"
