this is how we peel potatoes at our house
T-Put the potatoes on.
Me-Okay.
T-8 minutes in the microwave. When it beeps, take them out, prick with fork, if their not done, flip and put back in for 2 minutes. Remember to put water in the bottom. You got all that?
Me-Oh, you mean like I’ve been doing for 13 years? Yes, I think I got it.
T-Okay *bounces out of house*
10 minutes later
T-Are the potatoes done?
Me-Yes, but they are hot so I’m letting them cool.
T-Jesus. They are harder to peel when cold. Come here and I’ll show you how to do it.
Me-*mumbling under breath* I don’t want to know how to peel those damn potatoes.
Me-*whining* You do it. They always burn my fingers.
T- You need to learn. What will you do when I’m not around?
Me-I won’t eat skinned potatoes?
T-*tries to give me THE look*
T-See, take the fork and rake it over them.
Me-Okay
T-Now flip them over and keep raking.
Me-Okay.
T-Move peelings to end of plate.
Me O.K.A.Y.
T- Now, you get one and try.
Me-I don’t like your tone, Mister.
T-See, rake the fork…
Me-Okay. I get it. Go away.
T-You’re doing a fine job.
Me-I DON’T NEED YOUR VALIDATION!!
Yes, I know it’s Tuesday. This is how I roll.
I find this sums up my feelings for the IRS after doing taxes and filing additional memorandums.

Kitty finds “true love” with vacuum cleaner. *g*
A spa party.
Wrangler is claiming to be in production of jeans that “moisturize your butt and help fight cellulite.”
Really, you ask?
Yup!
Called the Denim Spa line, these slippery little devils will hit ASOS on January 28th. Wrangler claims their newest line is infused with three…count them, THREE…moisturizers. Aloe Vera, Olive Extract, and something called Smooth Legs, which apparently will also get rid of your dimply cellulite legs. They claim the jeans can be washed 95 times before losing their creamy awesomeness and then you are once again forced to wear regular old stretch jeans that highlight your muffin top and flatten your arse. But hey, it will not longer be a dimply arse, will it?
Ever wanted to see cats who look like pin up girls? Yea, I didn’t either until I found this meme.

Go.
Look.
Be amazed.

What Should We Call Me is pictorial sarcasm at it’s finest. I’d adopt this kid if I liked other people’s kids…which I don’t.

I admit, drunk animals or animals acting like they are drunk amuse me. DON’T YOU JUDGE!! Hangover Owl is devoted entirely to drunk and disorderly owls. Yes, I laugh, point, and snicker frequently.

Animals Being Dicks. This meme makes me cry. If you have to ask why…you just need to leave right now.

My Drunk Kitchen is where people drink large qualities of alcohol and attempt to cook. Really, what’s NOT to like about??
Anita Renfroe KILLS me.

Let’s Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir by Jenny Lawson

Favorite Quote: “THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!“
Everyone who is anyone, well, anyone who appreciates insane, questionable, depraved humor, knows who Jenny Lawson is. She is the voice behind The Bloggess. A blog that crosses all lines, pokes all chickens, and usually leaves me laughing so hard I have found it’s in my best interest to get dressed on AFTER I have read her latest post. Otherwise, I’ll just have to change my clothes and re make my face. And as a 41 year old, re making my face to look like I didn’t make up my face takes a lot of time. Time better spent on Pinterest or Twitter.
Let’s Pretend This Never Happened is the mostly true memoir of Jenny Lawson’s life and it kept me laughing, crying, and choking to the end as we read of her less then stellar upbringing in rural Texas with what has to be some of the most questionable parents I have ever encountered. We watch her meet her long suffering husband Victor, who I just know deserves everything Jenny dishes out and more, and her dealings with infertility, depression, and a very strange addiction to costumed taxidermy.

Katie Woods never thought she’d be forty-one, divorced, and thrust back into the dating world. To start fresh, Katie uproots her veterinary practice to upstate New York—not exactly the hottest dating scene on the planet. But when an unconscious cougar appears at her clinic, Katie’s newly single life gets a much needed jolt of the supernatural kind.
After Katie examines the cougar and leaves him caged overnight, she’s shocked to find a big strapping specimen of young, hot man in its place. And when the scratch she got during the exam results in some unnatural side effects, Katie has more to deal with then her animal attraction to a much younger guy—she has to figure how to stop herself from becoming a cougar of the ourlegged
variety.
