My husband used his little Mazda car with over 300,000 miles on it to pull a 4 wheel drive Trail Blazer out of a snowbanked ditch at 2am on his way home from work. I think that''s hot.
How old is the car!! those mazda just keeps on going!

My boss is really starting to suck. He comes to me at 5:20 with a list of things to send out "before you leave"

This is going to take me 2 hours to do!

My evil cat just came up and purred. She is jealous that the my other cat has 300 facebook friends.

There have been clothes sitting in the washer all day. Ugh, do I have to get up and put them in the dryer?

It bothers me when people press an already pressed elevator button. And then it bothers me that it bothers me because I usually stand behind the person going

You wouldn''t like me, I think.
I will push an already pushed up or down elevator button while I''m waiting for the elevator to arrive. Just in case the other person''s "push" wasn''t good enough. (But in all fairness I think it''s more an OCD thing than anything else... not that it makes it less annoying

I don''t do it on elevators, but I do it at intersections to get the "walk" signal. But I swear most of those are like the traffic light sensors that will only change the light when 2+ cars are waiting...when I''m waiting forever at a light, if there''s nobody around I''ll back up a little and then drive forward again. Works like a charm. I don''t know if I''ve just convinced myself that pedestrian signals work the same way, or if it''s really true.

So one of the "chosen" can feel like those of us who still have to wash by hand...

Now, you''re the reason why the dishwasher god has done this in the first place. Call me and I''ll come pick-up your unused dishwasher and trade you a nice stainless steel sink and a large bottle of Dawn!

speaking of Jury duty- are you going to do it? if not can you get out of it? I can''t remember how I got out of mine, but was notified of Jury duty back when I was in college 10 years ago!

Done! But I will not be held responsible if it died in its 3 years of neglect!

I love Laughing Cow cheese.

My male cat meows like a girl.

My students have accents and for some reason I find that hysterical.

I am listening to Joshua Radin''s "I''d Rather Be With You" and it''s giving me warm gooseybumps.

I really want a pair of bone colored shoes. I think they''d make my stumps of legs look longer.

My brother is bringing his girlfriend home Friday to meet us. I keep referring to her by the name of his last girlfriend. Please don''t let me do that when I meet her or at any point during her visit.

Been there done that... and SO''s brother''s exgirlfriend was a PSYCHO so current girlfriend would probably be a bit offended if I let that name slip...

I think I''m addicted to this thread.

All of the random thoughts and individual conversations amongst many remind me of my mom''s house during family gatherings.

HAH!

He does his own dishes by hand. So it''s only when I rack them up that the dishwasher even gets used. I will vacuum, clean, and cook, but I draw the line at handwashing dishes and scrubbing the bathtub. Funny, the scrubbing the toilet isn''t a bother, but the tub...
