First, let me apologize for the commenting problems...I had the security set so that commenters had to type in a code to publish their comments. It was working really well to keep the "comment spam" away, but apparently, now there are no codes showing up. SO, I'm back to approving each and every comment manually...so when your comment doesn't show up right away, that's why! I must USE MY POWERS before you are allowed to SPEAK. Mwaa, ha, ha.
Now on to more entertaining matters.
As you know, I am somewhat of a freak (as in my "typo illness" and Excessive List Making). Some people think my perfectionism and obsessive qualities make me a "hard to please" person...but...NOT TRUE!
Case in point; here are some things that have delighted me recently...you'll never call me hard to please again.
1. Have been looking for an attractive kitchen trash can for months. (Why? I'm glad you asked! Because I am quite possibly mentally ill.) FOUND! It is actually a clothes hamper, but works great as a trash can and is quite attractive.
2. Went through 3 boxes of trash bags ($15 worth, to be exact) looking for one that fit well in said trash can. Finally called husband, on his way home from work, and begged him to stop for 30 gallon trash bags. FOUND! I am in ecstasy.
3. Purchased new bagless vacuum cleaner. Husband took children out that same evening. How did I spend my free Saturday night? Vacuuming over and OVER, just to see how much dirt I could empty out after each pass. OMG, so enjoyable. And embarrassing. I am a dork.
4. I LOVE BIORE PORE STRIPS. I sometimes apply them to not only my nose, but my chin and forehead as well, for maximum impact. The removal is painful, my friends, but it's a good pain. Gooood. And yes, I do inspect them after removal. Do not judge me.
5. My husband brought home a....get ready for this...a new BEN AND JERRY'S MILKSHAKE, IN A CUTE LITTLE GLASS BOTTLE, that was absolutely fantastic AND the bottle is so cute I'm going to use it as a VASE!!!
6. Banana.Coconut.Frappucinos.make.me.so.freakin'.happy.
7. Cheap Crocs! We call them "hole shoes". Whatever. I spent 4 months trying to find the damn things for less than $30. FOUND, for $8! Heaven! And you can just HOSE THEM OFF!
8. I grew a tomato!! Yes, yes, only one, but I've got months of summer left!
9. Avacados on sale!! Nothing says good eatin' like guacamole on a budget.
10. New scents in my brand of shaving gel. I have to refrain from squealing when I see that NEW SCENT! sign on the bottle. Tropical Mango Coconut Rain Forest? O.M.G. And no, I haven't really found that scent yet...but the hope keeps me going.
11. The caps lock button. So easy to push. So full of MEANING.
SO THERE. AM I REALLY SO HARD TO PLEASE?
P.S. Does anyone need one hundred and forty 13 gallon trash bags?

I'm good on the trashbags, thanks, but can I just say that this list was possibly the cutest and most endearing thing I've ever read???
I think it's the 'human-ness' of individuals that makes them so loveable. Don't you agree?
Jack - ALL THE TRASHBAGS YOU WANT...come and get 'em.
Mrs. S. - Thank you...I aim to please! :)
I am also the clean freak, or as I choose to look at it....ANTI-FUNK! My mental and emotional state is directly tied to the cleanliness of my kitchen. And it I could..... I would own a Dyson vaccuum. ~insert angels singing Ave Maria~ I really want to have a Kirby home demo, but I am afraid that I would have to beat up the salesman, and shove him in my hall closet so I could finish my house.
Jennifer - so funny you would say that about the Kirby home demo...we actually got suckered into one of those.
I was HORRIFIED / DELIGHTED to see the gigantic amounts of dirt coming out of my carpet. And after the cleaning, I had one really clean 50 square foot area in my living room.
But alas, no $1200 vacuum for us. So just the one clean spot. So if you do any salesman kidnapping, bring that Kirby to my house before you release him.
