Okay, One More

Since it’s Friday and need a major escape from serious, I have to add this one. I don’t even know how to explain my love for this vlogger. Best I can manage is if Carol Burnett, Billie Piper and Cher Horowitz (from Clueless) had a love child, it would be this girl. I can’t believe out of all her many videos, this is the one I’m sharing. But since my stomach still aches from laughing at this last night, it’s going in with the other favorites. I defy you not to laugh at this.

Unusually Usual

So Emma asked yesterday what it’s like living apart from Mr. Silver after nineteen years of marriage. I wanted to scream IT SUCKS AND I HATE IT. But because I’m from Minnesota, I calmly said, “There are good days and bad days.” This weekend we definitely had “good days”. Mr. Silver was home for a visit, so things are a little brighter. Except he asked child #2 to mow the yard. Child did so while the dog was outside, and now the dog — who is the world’s most neurotic pointer — will no longer walk on the grass.

More Favorites

I’m really into this favorites groove, aren’t I? Here’s a bunch more that featured heavily into this past weekend.

First, there’s this song: Then thanks to #grav3yardgirl, I discovered this tea. Oh… my… lo-werd it’s good. Aside from friends, decent tea is the one thing I miss most about living in the south. /nostalgic sigh This stuff pretty well makes up for it. And now it’s your turn. Keep me entertained today and tell me your favorite thing(s) from this weekend.

Spammers 1, Meg 0

I keep meaning to post about this. Today I left a sticky note right in the center of my monitor. Success! Regarding the forums: It seems like too much of my online time right now is spent battling spammers, and after watching traffic for a couple weeks, I decided to disable a lot of the forum stuff. Which sucks, but it sure beats slogging through fifteen pages of pharmaceutical ads, amirite? Anyway, back to work with me so that I have something a heck of a lot more interesting to talk about soon. Have a great Wednesday!

Oh Happy Day

School started today. Time for the kiddies to get back to learning things OTHER than how to best portray their boredom. I learned things this weekend, too. Like how, if you have a tendency to stick your tongue out while working on something, you should probably not have your tongue out while cleaning the dryer’s lint filter. (Yeah, it was that kind of weekend.) Happy Tuesday!
