Peeling oranges

Monday breakfast. Mandarin oranges. "I like yours better". "Lets trade".
Something about the membranes being thinner?

Tiger woods on the radio

So help me make this connection...

We're driving down the highway listening to CNN babbling on about Tiger Woods and his sponsors reaction to his lack of response to his various mistressess (?) allegations of infidelity. All of a sudden "Dearest" says "I really liked Universal Studios".

Wooosh!

How did we get there from Tiger Wood? I ask, mystified.

"I was looking out the window, doing Facebook and was looking at Lindsey's Photos of her trip to California and remembered when we went to Universal Studios."

O.K. ??? You do Facebook, with no computer, while you're driving down the road, by looking out the window? How do you update your status?

What else goes on in there?

Prepping the doors

O.K. I screwed up. I stacked all of the freshly painted doors on top of each other, before the paint had fully dried. My Bad! Fact is I should have sent them to the wood recycling place, bought new doors, had them sprayed and re-hung. But with 44 doors in the house, at $100 each that's a fair bit of change. All they really needed was a good sanding, some filler and then re-paint. Time and effort. No biggie. But 5 months later they're being used like regular doors with a really poor paint job. Dearest decides it time to start fixing them. But not in stages, not one bite at a time, she's going to do them all in one go. Yeah right. So she says, I'll clean up all the sanding mess when I'm finished. and 5 days later I'm still stepping over the piles of scraped off paint and filler. She hasn't touched a brush or sanding block in days. But it's my fault is hasn't been cleaned up and I shouldn't complain if I'm just going to step over the mess.

"Male" truck involved in accident

New story today about Tom & Meredith Brockaw (yes the NBC anchor person) being involved in a three vehicle accident in New York. A postal truck, an SUV and the Brockaws were involved, but only the SUV driver was injured (fatally thrown from the vehicle, sadly). Told Dearest the story and she asked "what is a male truck?"
Ahhhh! Big sigh!

First mobile update.

Lets see what new trouble I can create for myself. Blog updates from my Palm Pre. I may never have to forget an insane act again.

Check Book

It's December 2nd and Christmas parties are happening. The local paddling club is having their annual get together; pot luck, $10 gifts, the usual. Admission is $10/person, by check, in advance. Trouble is there's only one personal check left and it's partial filled out on the payee line. Dearest suggest using a company check instead.
- (Me) No problem. Pass it over and I'll write it out.
- (Her) But wait, you could use the last personal check, cross out the partial name, initial the change and send that instead.
- (Me) O.K. Would you rather I did that instead of a company check?
- (Her) No, use a company check.

Argh!

Homage to Mil Millington

Well I'll confess right up front my respect and admiration for Mil Millington's Blog, thingsmygirlfriendandIhavearguedabout.com is the inspiration for this. I'll also note that this Blog, like Mil's is not intended in anyway to be demeaning or insulting to our "significant others". Think of it merely as therapy, a way to release the tension through sharing. So much better than grabbing a high powered rifle and climbing up a high tower and waiting for the S.W.A.T. team to settle things. Maybe, someone might just cut me a little slack and acknowledge that I'm not a complete nut bar and I can tell my dearest to not be insane all the time.
