$$$

Seriously:  Who spends this for sunglasses???  They will be sat upon, lost, or dropped out the car window on I-15 at 85 MPH as one tries to keep pace with Utah County traffic.....

Lift Conversation

Me:  "Did you hear that our dentist broke both legs?"
Hubbie:  "No that's too bad."
Me:  "At least he can still get around."
Hubbie:  "I guess that kind of job would be good if you broke both legs."
Me:  "He was putting up Christmas lights."

.....audible GASP from the guys sharing the quad chair lift with us.....

Them:  "Thank goodness!  We just flew in from Chicago and this is our first run.  We thought it was a skiing accident."

Don't Fold Underwear

After a few years of folding other people's underwear, I deemed it an unnecessary effort.  As soon as it is tidily tucked in the drawer, the wearers use the egg beater approach to find their favorites.  Done.  I will match socks, but that's as far as it goes.  Clean undies are delivered in a wad to the wearers' drawers.

Other household tips:
*scrub tubs and showers while you're still naked
*dust with anything that you have in hand at the time (socks are great)
*mop using two dishtowels, one under each foot, then launder using bleach

*use the washing machine as a salad spinner
*a lawnmower works great for grinding yard waste
*use the dishwasher to clean floor vents and proof bread (not at the same time)
*sort and hang kids' clothes in matching sets and lower closet rods to their height
*use drawers only for p.j.s and underwear
*if the windows are dirty, close the blinds
*assign chores as soon as children can walk
*you'll never have to turn socks if they are removed by standing on the toe
*vacuums suck up Barbie clothes and army men
*mud trackers must remove their shoes
*pass the Windex to travelers in the mini van so they can shine the windows
*for easy vomit removal, cover car seats with towels...just shake out the chunks and launder
....then spend your time skiing....

Fun Night

After work, we headed out of smog-filled Happy Valley to smog-filled Salt Lake Valley to go to dinner and see a play.  My coupon for Christopher's saved us $25 - ka-ching - and the play was great fun.

The play is a farce set in a London flat during an electrical blackout, and is written to be staged under a reversed lighting scheme: that is, the play opens with a dinner party beginning on a darkened stage, then a few minutes into the show "a fuse blows", the stage lights come up, and the characters are seen scrambling around apparently invisible to one another.

To top the evening off, we listened to the BYU Cougars defeat San Diego.  A perfect night, with the exception of a few traffic scares compliments of sweet hubbie :)

Napping Nose

Curious thing lately -

Whenever I nap, my nose freezes.  This does not ever occur at night when I sleep.  During the day, our home is warmed to 72 degrees.  I do not understand.

My nose literally wakes me from slumber and covering my face with the pillow, blanket, or hand obstructs oxygen flow.

Must I give up napping altogether, or perhaps have my daughter crochet me a nose sock that still allows nostril breathing?  Naps are necessary.  It is getting rather infuriating.
