I’m just trying to avoid house cleaning this morning. We are having one of our typical summer parties this evening so I really need to get to work but blogging, facebooking and general time wasting is so much more fun.

Steve had the news on this morning. It is actually still on in the living room and he is at Jewel buying food for tonight. I hadn’t been in there for at least 30 minutes when he left. Why did he leave it on? Anyway, I digress…While watching the news channel buffet that he subjects me to on weekend mornings there was this feature story. I’m sorry blame it on my rural roots but that is just plain awesome, I don’t care who you are. It also figures that a guy named Bob came up with this idea. It is a proven fact, guys named Bob are just full of awesome sauce. (My dad is named Bob, enough said. And this rule does not prove true for guys named Rob, Robb, Robby, Robert or Roberto.)

On facebook a new “friend” (I’ve never met her and have only read her blog and know she lives in the same town as me) posted a link to the NYT article where her blog, Mommy Wants Vodka (see now why I consider her a “friend”?) is mentioned. Once again I am on the cutting edge of the current zietgiest and not only does no one notice or care but someone else is out there doing it better than me. FML.

Well I guess I can’t avoid it any longer. I have to go vacuum up 358# of animal hair and wash all the floors. I’m feeling so sassy this morning that I think the toilets will get an extra swish of the ol’ toilet brush!
