PS...
I know some of you can't (or won't) come to Kenny's memorial. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to me!

You are cordially invited...
To Kenny's (the microwave not the 'scary' clock) memorial:
To be served - some of Kenny's favorite memories:
Burned popcorn
Boiled water
Still frozen TV dinners
Defrosted chicken with a wilted Spinach garnish
Eulogies will be shared as we bid adieu to Kenny as he joins LJ's Mom's 30-year-old washing machine, Scary Kenny and the deep fat fryer that shocked us all.
It will last until his replacement, Natasha, kicks you out with her timer of delight.
See you there!

The Microwave is the walrus
So today is a sad day for my mom and a happy day for me. How could two people, who claim to be great friends feel so differently on any given day, you ask? Wouldn't I out of sympathy feel bad if my ma feels bad and shouldn't my ma be happy for me if I am happy?
Normally I would say yes.
Today, however, her microwave that has traveled with her through this life since 1983 has gone to a farm to play with other old microwaves and was replaced by a smaller younger microwave. Presumably one that is not emitting cancer-causing waves at any one's mid-section. To give you an idea of the age of the older, freer microwave, it has fake wood metal sides, that were dented. It was bought when Erikka was a baby. It was larger than the entire packing and boxing of the new microwave.
koo-koo-ka-choo, baby.
The object showing scale in these pictures is a CD envelope.

Rainy Tuesday...
Hello all - long time no post!
I have been 1 part busy, 1 part lazy and 1 part delicious. So that explains why I haven't posted!
Busy: We officially have 3 gypsies in the part and they are definitely keeping me busy with 2 of my least favorite jobs. 1 is cleaning the bathroom. Yuck yuck yuck. The 2nd job is just doing my absolute best not to be Shanghai'd (is this a slur?) by them. They like to pay late and for varying amounts of time, so just keeping who has paid for what and when they are due is complicated!! Other things keeping me busy includes the grass and weeds. Although I still love the mowing (especially now that Ingrid is back on her wheels), it seems like I mow at least a little every day. And today I mowed for no less than 4 hours. Wowza.
Lazy: I had 3 books out from the library and I was working fervently to get through at least 2 by today as they are due back in 3 days. I did manage to finish "In Cold Blood" and "Water for Elephants". "In Cold Blood" was a very well written true crime - even if the language was a little old-fashioned. It was written in 1965 and I would say has stood the test of time. "Water for Elephants" - sooo good. A really good fiction novel. LJ- read this one! Right now I'm reading "The Year of Magical Thinking" which (80 pages in) seems like it will be very good as well.
Delicious: I'm working very hard, now that I'm here alone, not to let my diet slip to much into what I will call "Bachelor Food". And I did make 2 real meals last week and enjoy the leftovers for a long time. But last night I "batched" it - Totinos and Chocolate Ice Cream. YUM!
Today it rained on me a little bit as I mowed. Why does my skin feel so soft after even just a tiny bit of rain?
Toodles!

Vagueness
Sorry my last post was so vague.
The Colbert Report is a parody news-type debate-type show on Comedy Central. They just make fun of everything. And in his 'monologue' type thingy, he was talking about Jesus' pet monkey, Beppo. Apparently Beppo knocked over a jar of locusts (causing a locust plague presumably) and Jesus yelled "Beppo!!!" And it was funny. And it was good. I just like hearing the name Beppo. :)
Other good things about the Colbert Report:

Other good things about the Colbert Report:
- how it's pronounced - as if it's French Col-bear Re-por
- there is an 'anchor' who looks just like Laura Judy's dad if Laura Judy's dad was black
- Stephen Colbert (Col-bear) is one handsome piece of fake Republican man meat (Republican jerky? Republican Bologna! My Bologna has a first name...)
