Boyness

Today I am attempting to embrace the boyness that is my son.

So far, I have pretended to be a giant, gotten shot with a foam dart gun, and used rocks as torpedoes to sink "boats" (small shells floating in a creek).

In other news ...

I've listed this beauty on Craigslist for a mere $20. But if you want me to save it for you, I will certainly keep it on my back porch for as long as is necessary. Because I LOVE the fact that it is on my back porch and that we don't yet have a replacement because the one we ordered got "stuck in GERMANY over the President's Day Holiday," according to the Tammy Wynette look-alike that sold it to me last weekend at Lowe's. LAST weekend. It works, but it's loud, inefficient, and older than me. Oddly enough, we've only had one caller interested in purchasing this gem.

But the new one! It's a Bosch. It's the quietest one on the market, and you can set it to start 3, 6, or 9 hours after you press "go." For me, it signifies a new level of adulthood: Excitement about New Appliances.

But don't bother to think that it'll be a quick install. Husband decided to save the $105 installation fee and do it himself. And that's all I have to say about that.

At this moment, Transformers: Transform & Roll Out is on, and all is quiet. I only had to stay home half a day today due to the viral-induced asthma issues. And that's enough about that too because don't even get me started.

Tomorrow is another day. Let's strive to move onward, upward, and sideways as usual.
