Hubby Has Issues Too

January 25, 2012 By Dana White 23 Comments

hubby has issues too @ ASlobComesClean.com

I knew we had too many mugs.

I knew most of them came into our home through Hubby.

Some were gifts from work.  Some were from his (many) bachelor years.

I’ve always known that I have issues.

But I don’t think I realized Hubby has them too . . . until about a month ago.

At a Christmas party gag gift exchange, he chose this gift.

Not as a wrapped, who-knows-what-it-is-let’s-get-crazy-and-take-a-chance choice.

He stole it.  Like . . . someone else opened it and he saw it and he wanted it.  Enough to steal it.

No, your eyes are not deceiving you.  That is a cow.  A cow inside a mug.

No, you’re not un-cool and out of the loop.  Cows inside mugs isn’t a new trend.

Yes, you’re right.  It’s a totally stupid mug.

Perfect for a GAG GIFT!!!!

This morning, when hubby drank out of it, he decided that (even though he had tried to deny it before) coffee in a Stupid Cow Mug has a “whang” to it.

Evidently, it’s difficult to properly seal a ceramic cow that’s sitting inside of a mug.

Who knew?

Gleefully, I threw it in the trash.

 

 

Note: I love hubby and can totally accept his Mug Issues since he kindly accepts my Many Assorted Issues.  He knows I wrote this and doesn’t mind because he loves when he is the subject of my posts.

“Home”work Time

January 24, 2012 By Dana White 14 Comments

I have an idea in my head of a post to write about how I’m proud of myself for tackling the daily task of cleaning the kitchen (the neglected-over-the-weekend kitchen) while the kids did homework sprawled out on the floor this afternoon. See the picture?  It means I really was thinking about this post. See […]

How to Stretch Leftover Pizza

January 22, 2012 By Dana White 14 Comments

I remember when we used to order one pizza and it was enough for the two of us and a toddler. It was a big deal when we realized it was time to start ordering two pizzas.  Now, we usually have to add something to the meal for two to be enough. On a rare […]

Freezer Cooking

January 20, 2012 By Dana White 12 Comments

What my husband said about me last night:  “When it comes to meal planning and cooking, you’re an expert.” And he was serious. I don’t know about you, but I absolutely glow when my husband brags on me. Here’s the thing.  Even though learning to wash the dishes daily was equivalent to learning a new […]

A Mess That Makes Me Smile

January 18, 2012 By Dana White 11 Comments

Hubby trimmed trees on Monday, and now we have a (taller than me) brush pile on the side of the house. We see it as we pull into the driveway, and for the past two days the kids and I have stopped to watch the birds that have turned this brush pile into a playground. […]

The Missing Rice

January 17, 2012 By Dana White 21 Comments

At the end of a busy day, I was desperately trying to get supper together. Tuesday afternoons are always crazy as one child gets dropped off at 4:30, another gets picked up across town at 5:00, and the first gets picked up (back across town again) at 5:30.  Hubby usually tries to help, but his […]

Something to Show for My Day

January 16, 2012 By Dana White 12 Comments

Today was a day off.  A day when we’d planned to be out of town but events at church yesterday kept us home instead. Things are a little rough around here house-wise.  I’m still behind on laundry after the loosey-goosey Christmas break which was immediately followed by a broken washing machine. But a day out […]

Menu Plan . . . Yes. That’s What I Meant to Do.

January 15, 2012 By Dana White 8 Comments

Have I mentioned that I’m writing an e-book? Because I am. The much requested Deslobification Manual is coming out at the end of January.  Not that I’m going to call it a Deslobification Manual, but that’s the basic idea behind it. Anyway, now that January is half over, it’s becoming one of those tunnel-vision projects […]

Things I’ve Written Around the Web

January 13, 2012 By Dana White 6 Comments

Enjoy your weekend!  It’s a long one for us, which is my favorite kind! Here are some links to things I’ve written around the internet lately: Over at AllYou.com I talked about the new outfit I bought to wear to all of my no-overlapping-guests Christmas and New Year’s parties. At About One, I shared about […]
