It Sucks!!

I'm not a big fan of appliances but I feel that if I have to do a job around the house, I want good equipment to make a boring job easier. I've had my Dyson for several years and I'm still impressed. The other day, I was vacuuming and I noticed it wasn't picking up as it normally does. So I quickly checked a couple of the hose areas and I when I opened one area, I noticed this:

Yes, it's a pen! Who vacuums a pen up and 1) doesn't notice it and 2) leaves it in there? Well, judging by the drywall material found with this pen, I have a good guess.

But regardless, I'm still happy that my vacuum really sucks :)

Budding Chef

Cara always has to be busy doing something (I wonder where she gets this from?). While my mom was visiting for a couple of days, Cara was in heaven cooking up a storm with Grandma. Last night, we were treated to a special dinner planned and prepared by my 8 year old.

It was a tasty meal of fruit salad and Dizzy Dogs :)

Church Socks

Jeff and I have an ongoing debate. I hate clothes with holes, snags, etc. If you have a pair of socks with holes in them, when you take them off THROW THEM IN THE TRASH! Sounds logical right? Why waste the energy washing them just to put them in the trash? However, my husband feels that the laundry is the place to put things that need to be thrown out.

So Jeff has a few pair of socks that have worn through on the bottom (however, he does have many pair that are perfectly acceptable). When I am being the wonderful wife that I am and folding his socks, I am just matching pairs up and putting them in his drawer. I don't have time or the inclination to inspect his socks before lovingly folding them and placing them in his drawer. :)

The last time I saw him wearing a pair of these "holey socks" I stuck my finger in the hole and gave it a nice pull. Who would want to wear socks with a big hole on the bottom? So today, I look over to see him sitting on the bed...what do I see? Those dumb socks with a huge hole on the bottom!

So I walked by and gave a nice tug on the hole...Here's what happened (note the hole in the left sock as well).

Let's see if they make it to the laundry again. I have a feeling they will.
