Thursday 13 #7

Thirteen Things that made JENFACTOR smile in the last week.
1...Shopping with my Best Jen, Something we have not done in at least ten years. Ohmigod, it was heaven to shop with a grown up, let alone the woman who knows me best!
2...Little O says to me, "Mama, you car is talking about Barnes & Noble again..." At this point my mother would like to remind me that I have to teach her that it's the radio, and not my car speaking, but it's so damned funny when she says these things. That's why my mom doesn't read my blog.
3...Talking a little shit to Nikki and the other girls (was there a guy?) involved in Operation Lose That Ass... (another reason my mom does not read my blog...Oh,Jenniferr, you don't have to curse to get your point across...but it's fun and I can't do it in front of the kids!)
4...Coming home from work expecting the usual, and finding out that the honey and the kids have emptied the dishwasher for me without being asked.
5...Big O making a microwave meal for the Honey, which surprised us all..Butt the best part was when I thanked him for making it for the Honey while I was busy, Big O says, "Well, Mom , I kind of HAD to...He doesn't know how to do ANYTHING in the kitchen"-said with wonder and disbelief. YAY! My son understands that this is the wrong attitude for a modern male, and offered to do it for the Honey spontaneously.
6...Went to a Cookie Lee meeting, finally, and it was NOT torture, I LIKEa lott of the new stuff, and I might be able to help a friend earn a little money if she wants.
7...I over-spiced the fruit salad and almost had the Honey convinced I was trying to kill him, but I was laughing so hard I was crying.
8...I have not mentioned work because work has been Hellishly ugly between lack of garbage cans and screaming customers, so Hooray, it's Thursday!!!
9...I met a lady who had just been given a crazy cat lady action figure and showed it proudly to all she met--totally secure in her future as a crazy cat lady.
10...Getting caught up on even one aspect of myhousekeepingg makes it all seem so much more do-able. Thank Goodness!
11...Big O's partay is only two days away, now!!!
12...Little O spoke her Spanishh goodbyes beautifully and clearly to the entire housefull of people at the sister-in-laws... Muy Bien!
13...I found a friend that could have been on my missing persons list, another bookstore friend I'd lost touch with, and someone whom I genuinelyenjoyy...will email her first thing tomorrow to follow up!

Hey I do sell Cookie Lee too! Haven't been to a meeting YET (though I just started recently) and I'm hoping to go down and see some jewelry tomorrow!

GLad to hear your week has gone so well!! I need a crazy cat lady figurine. I played too!

Kukka-Maria said...

See, now I thought having a blog for your cat made you the crazy cat lady! :)

My parents do the same thing about language on my blog. When I read something to them and say, "What the hell!?" My dad will say, "Don't you mean heck?"

"No, dad...I wanted to use the F-word, but decided 'hell' would be more appropriate."

Great TT!

Jen said...

I had the best time shopping with the one person who can get me out of my fear of patterns....go JEN, you rock...

Pippajo said...

Hee! This list made ME smile! I keep my blog a secret from my Mom too, not that she even has the Internet or would know what to do with it if she did. But, dammit, sometimes a situation just CALLS for cussing! And most of the time it's just plain fun.

Great list, and speaking of getting caught up on housekeeping, my list of things I'm definitely NOT caught up on is up!

My mom hates that I curse so much. I can't help it.

Nikki said...

Glad you joined factor.

I'm having a good time.

Anytime I'm tempted to cheat, I just think about how wonderful you're going to make me sound on your blog when I win.

hee hee hee

angela said...

My mom reads my blog...so no cussing for me. Maybe I'll start another secret blog...;-)

I love it! Im totally stealing this idea eventually. Little O is my cute comment hero.

Happy Mama to Three said...

Yay Mom for teaching your young man the value of being able to work in the kitchen, do laundry, etcetera etcetera. Housework is not the females domain anymore!!!! Just convince all the men of the world of that now.

#4 I think my ex-boyfriend is too... HE always looked better in a dress, make-up and hotrollers than I did.

You should go back to school when you're ready. Otherwise, you won't have the committment to do well. Happy T13!

Knitting Maniac said...

I remember when the tv thing would come on ... it scared the crap out of me, too. I couldn't stand it. It was like... you felt alone... vulnerable.

weird feeling.

crse said...

Oh buddy, I feel the exact same way about the feminism AND the porn! Im probably gonna have to steal this idea, you know...
