Nie Nie is Back!!

Okay so she's been around the whole time, but she just posted on her own blog this morning.

We all love you Nie!!

Have You Ever...

So I'm going to tell one on ME today.

I answered a phone call from Mike tonight and walked back to the kitchen to sit down to my lovely Campbell's Tomato Soup (to which I added some cooked red peppers that I threw in the blender) with a dollop of sour cream (fat free of course) and a sprinkle of shredded cheese... I supported the phone between my ear and my shoulder and grasped the chair with two hands to scoot my big body in under the table so I could enjoy Mike's work story that he was rambling, I mean telling me, about. And what would you know, the phone, my prized cell phone (I've only owned three my entire life and the last two were the exact same make/model) slipped delicately out from my shoulder grasp and landed PLOP right into my soup bowl, and not just in the soup, directly onto the sour cream dollop.

Elise sitting at the table doing her homework bust up into laughter and I followed suit. What do you do when your husband is rambling on to a bowl of soup? I suppose laughter is the best medicine in this situation. I delicately fished it out (where was my camera?? oh yeah, in the other room it would have made a fantastic photo. I'll stage it if my phone dies a tomatoey death.) and turned off the phone call. I texted Mike "Sorry, I dropped my phone in my soup call back tomorrow. Looks like I can still text though drive safely". Then tried to call my mother, I could dial, but I can't hear anything and obviously I can't speak through sour cream.

Amazingly enough, Mike isn't upset with me about it.

So here goes, have YOU ever dropped your cell phone (mid-conversation) into anything peculiar?

I dropped my last one in the dog's water, it survived like a champ. I was talking to Mike then too... should I stop talking to him??

Be careful out there.

P.S. ~ The Cell Phone Lives!!! Another testament to electronic devices. Wow!

Christmas 2009 Slideshow

Hawaii Vacation 2008

Hawaii Slideshow Coming Soon!

I've been working on this slideshow all morning. I'm exhausted. Pics, pics, pics. So much beautiful blue water, beautiful blue skies... and outside my window is cold, white snow, with icicles, and sub-tropic temperatures, and I'm stuck indoors with an overactive 7 year old, years worth of laundry to do, dishes exploding out of the sink AND the dishwasher, floors that need swept, teeth needing brushed, dog needs walked, Mike's stuff needs put away (who can come help me haul it to his bed, so he'll actually have to live with it instead of my having to see it all the time?), clutter everywhere!!

Back to the pics of the best vacation ever. When CAN I go BACK!!?? I promise, I'll take my dog so no one else has to care for her. She'd love it too!!
