More randomness

* Why do some people feel entitled to walk into open doors? An owner of a painting business just happened to be in the kitchen milling around as I just had exited the shower. The bedroom door was open to the kitchen and so I had to do some fancy legwork (wet and only draped with a towel) to get to my clothes. Egads!

* We're in the middle of a mess. The back mudroom stuff should be finished today/tomorrow. The island has granite delivered tomorrow. And I am continually vacuuming dust the workers leave behind.

* Why are electricians so much cheaper than plumbers? I was pleasantly surprised with my bill yesterday from an electrician. Is it because plumbers have to pass a more stringent test to be sure there is ample slippage on their britches?

* Dogs are forever imprinted. A couple months ago Lisi was acting a bit unruly and I was getting out a new garbage bag in the kitchen so I thought it would be fun to chase her with it while slapping it up and down making quite a racket. Well every time I get out a new bag, she slinks off in a very real fear to her dog bed.

* I could tell you how bitterly cold and windy it is out there, but most of you are in the Midwest and are experiencing the same or even worse. I must admit that I don't want to walk today, but I will do an abbreviated one if nothing else. What good would I be as a wife/mother with frostbite?

* I am frustrated with bad customer service with a furniture retailer. I must call and get a bit testy again.

* I added both leftover oatmeal and mashed potatoes to my bread dough yesterday and wowser did it turn out lofty!

Enough from the gallery. Time for peanuts.
