trash day
Trash day. Gotta remember to put out the recycling, too. Am I the only one who thinks that the garbage truck and the recycling truck both end up in the same place? I said that once to one of my coworkers, who was horrified at the thought. She apparently never doubted that the guys who… Read.

goddamn laundry hamper 3
It’s Day 3 of Goddamn Laundry Hamper Week and, as you can see, the damned thing is nowhere near empty even though I’ve washed three extra-large loads and a regular load of clothes that I pulled from it last weekend, so I’m definitely not crazy and these pictures prove the goddamn laundry hamper can refill… Read.

laundry day 2
It’s the second day of my attempt to catch our goddamn laundry hamper refilling itself. Here’s what it looked like this morning after yanking three extra-large loads of dirty clothes from it (third load was all the towels). It’s not heaping full, as it was yesterday, but it’s still suspiciously plump. I’m about to yank… Read.

biggest damn load of whites ever
One big-ass load of whites. Possibly the biggest ever. The wash machine is making noises like an old guy straining on the toilet. Hey, I warned you I was going to do this. You thought I was kidding? Read.

goddamn laundry hamper
So, this is our goddamn laundry hamper. I used to think of it as our magical laundry hamper because, no matter how much we took out of it to stuff into the wash machine, when we came back it was still just as full as before. But that’s not magical, is it? “Magical” is fun.… Read.

night off
I just wanted to note here that we did not drink beer tonight. Rocks your world, I know, but we needed a night off from Madison Craft Beer Week to recharge our batteries and get ready for the weekend. We’re not spring chickens any more, y’know. My Darling B commanded grilled ham & cheese sandwiches… Read.

great big cosmic f u
I like to ride my bike to work, but I’ve always been a little skittish about it. I’m a fair-weather cyclist. I’ll ride when it’s sunny and warm out, but when the sky’s overcast, or the weatherman’s calling for more than a thirty percent chance of rain, I opt for the dry, warm safety of… Read.

so buff
Funniest question I heard all day: “Do you work out?” Oh, dude! Just because I’m skinny, you think I’m in shape? You cannot conceive of just how out of shape I am. I am so out of shape that amoebas think they’ve met me before. “But when you were in the Air Force, you were… Read.

bags! of cash!
Here’s a headline you just can’t ignore: “Karzai’s Office Gets Bags Full of C.I.A. Cash” (the online version of the story is headlined “With Bags of Cash, C.I.A. Seeks Influence in Afghanistan,” which isn’t nearly as eye-catching, if you ask me). That’s not hyperbole: For more than a decade, wads of American dollars packed into… Read.

aarp
My Darling B laughed when I got my first offer for a membership card to AARP. “That means you’re officially old,” she said. She wasn’t laughing when she got her first AARP card in the mail last night, though. “Those bastards! I’ve got a whole month left!” was all she could say. Read.
