13 Oct 2009Now I know we don’t own our current residence, which prohibits anything past just thinking about it, but two of my favorite co-workers have either bought a house or just had an offer accepted on a house (as of today), and looking at pictures of new kitchens is something I’m currently obsessed with. Nope, I don’t do a lot of cooking at all. And really, macaroni and cheese or bacon can all be done over just about any heat-producing thing. But there’s just something about a kitchen with an island in it or brand new countertops that I really love a lot.
So if we actually had a place to live that would allow something like a gigantic kitchen makeover, I’d be all over any contest that was giving away a $32,000 Dream Kitchen, especially knowing that second place is a brand new ‘fridge. Even better? It’s stocked with chicken and I love chicken a lot. I don’t know how to make it, but I suppose I could cook it on the George Foreman for the next three weeks before I got completely tired of it. See, again with the not so fancy kitchen appliances… I can’t even imagine what a fat 32K could bring into the kitchen.
I’d probably buy five George Foremans (because I really hate cleaning them!), a toaster that cooks bagels, a pub-style table, and a really awesome hot dog cooker. I don’t really know what else a person would need to be quite honest.

7 Oct 2009The Kid, coming out of the bathroom: You can tell I wasn’t paying attention…
I’m adding that to the list of things I never want to come out of his mouth again.
He said “threesome” earlier, but I didn’t acknowledge it. I was too scared.
The Kid, just now while watching the baseball game: Uh, is his last name Puto?
Me: Nope. Punto.
The Kid, clearly having paid attention in Spanish class: Okay, because that just wasn’t appropriate.
I’m a single parent this week, which explains why we had McDonald’s for dinner and baseball is on the TV.
I could write another post about the new foster dog we have that won’t stop humping things, even after being neutered, but that kind of post disturbs me way too much.

I know there’s this huge battle between cable internet providers and the five thousand (or perhaps less than that) different options that are out there – city wireless, DSL, whatever. I know we have one option if we want a cable service and while it’s a piece of crap option, The General and I pay for it a monthly basis without fail.
Charter, which is not the cable internet service provider that we use since it’s not available in our area, is holding a Camaro Sweepstakes to entice people to sign up with them.
It’s too bad my brother’s already a Charter customer down in his neck of the woods and it’s too bad it’s a brand new Camaro, because that kid would very likely join anything that would give him the chance to win a Camaro, preferably of the bitchin’ variety that he can modify to his liking. He’s a weird one, that boy.
Honestly, I’m not sure what Charter’s deal is right now, but I wouldn’t say it’s a bad thing for those people in the correct area to sign up for them. Last year, they ended up giving away a Hybrid Car. I would have gladly taken a Hybrid car!
They’re pretty much everywhere. There’s Charter on Facebook and Charter on Twitter for all of your social media networking needs, too.
