Tuesday March 8, 2011

Best Part of the Day-
Got my car professionally detailed. Lookin sooo fancy. Both kids commented, "It smells like Grandma Sally's car." Which means it is clean and fresh like a retired person who has time for such shenanigans--and sans crushed cereal and crap everywhere due to sans kids.

Worst Part of the Day-
My beloved and the first material possession I had truly cared about in my adult life (it made me know I was a fairly normal American) has died today. A key part of my luscious Dyson vacuum cracked and had to be put out to the trash today. Alas.
Within the same hour as the Dyson death two drinking glasses got knocked over and smashed. I live in a demolition.

Scarlet Quote:
Scarlet was reading an Arthur book and commented that one of the rabbits in the book "looked fat." Immediately I gave my rote answer that we do not comment on people's shapes and sizes. She snapped back, "Mom, this is a fictional book. I mean, it's a cartoon, not a person." I had to half smile but still stuck to my guns. We don't comment on the shapes and sizes of animals or cartoons...

I'm SO sorry about the Dyson! You know every (six) times we've moved, I've always said "I don't care about anything except this vacuum cleaner." They would wrap it in bubble wrap and put it in a wardrobe box for me.
