Since I’m not so great at reduce, reuse, and recycle, something like this is a possibility for me to reuse…my neighbors would love me, huh?

Ooh, and I get props for reuse, since I used this on my Lori Armstrong blog last week

Yeah, I’ll take him as a saddle rack ANY day, wouldn’t you?

Sam has been in business for 25 years and is finally sick of the stress. He quits his job and buys 50 acres in Alaska as far from humanity as possible. He sees the postman once a week and gets groceries once a month. Otherwise it’s total peace and quiet. After six months or so of almost total isolation, someone knocks on his door. He opens it and there’s a big, bearded man standing there.

“Name’s Lars …Your neighbor from forty miles away….Having a birthday party Friday … Thought you might like to come. About five o’clock.”

“Great,” says Sam, “after six months out here I’m ready to meet some local folks. Thank you.”

As Lars is leaving, he stops. “Gotta warn you…There’s gonna be some drinkin’.”

“Not a problem… after 25 years in business, I can drink with the best of em.”

Again, as he starts to leave, Lars stops. “More’n’ likely gonna be some fightin’ too.”

Sam says, “Well, I get along with people. I’ll be there. Thanks again.”

Once again Lars turns from the door. “I’ve seen some wild sex at these parties, too.”

“Now that’s really not a problem,” says Sam. “I’ve been all alone for six months! I’ll definitely be there. By the way, what should I bring?”

Lars stops in the door again and says, “Whatever you want, just gonna be the two of us.”

This cracked me up – mostly because DD#2 has 20 different colors of duct tape…

Summer sandals for the cowboy in your life…

And who doesn’t like a little hair on a guy’s chest?

On Saturday afternoon, I was sitting in my lawn chair drinking beer and watching my wife mow the lawn.
The neighbor lady from across the street was so outraged that she came over and shouted at me, “You should be hung!”
I took a drink from my can of Coors Light, wiped the cold foam from my lips, lifted my darkened Ray Ban sunglasses and stared directly into the eyes of this nosy ass neighbor and then calmly replied,”I am… that’s why she cuts the grass!”

So…we’re in the middle of a major kitchen remodel for the last 2 1/2 months. No sink. No stove. No oven. No refrigerator. I’m tired of eating out. I’m tired of freakin’ microwave meals. I’m really tired of dust. I’d give a left nut NOT to have to do my damn dishes in my bathroom sink — wait, I don’t have a left nut…or did I already give it? Then why am I still doing dishes in the john?

See? Me = little crazy right now. Deadlines, and kitchen remodel, and graduations…oh my.

Anyway, the good news? All the cabinets are here! And mostly installed. Oh, man, they are so pretty and the only time they’ll look that pristine without shit piled in them.

Bad news? It’ll take FOUR weeks to get my countertops in. FOUR WEEKS. So now that I actually have cabinets, I STILL won’t have a sink, a dishwasher, a stove for at least that long because of logistics of getting everything where it needs to be.

At the store yesterday with my daughter, I looked longingly at the fresh veggies and think, screw it. I’m buying those damn sugar snap peas, even if they are $3.50 for like 12 wrinkled pods. I get them home, put them in the bar fridge and say to her – Those peas are off limits to you, do you hear me? DO NOT EAT MY FRIGGIN’ PEAS or I will snap.

Yeah, I sorta snapped. Hee hee. Get it? Sugar SNAP peas.

OMFG I need a vacation.
