Mail goggles?
I use Gmail for most of my personal email, and had to laugh out loud when I read this blog post: http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/new-in-labs-stop-sending-mail-you-later.html
Now, I don't require "mail goggles", but I sure know some people who could use them!! HA HA HA

Funny stuff
Just for a giggle, laugh, or perhaps even a guffaw...

Tuesday Tip O' the Day
Okay, for those of you who are new here - last week I started the "Tuesday Tip O' the Day", using a "Household Tips and Hints" book from 1959 as my source.
Since it's Tuesday, I think you know what time it is!!!
Today's tip:
"Never do your housework in a trailing housecoat and mules. Such apparel will not only tire you but it is dangerous. You may trip over them or catch your sleeves on pot handles."

"Never do your housework in a trailing housecoat and mules. Such apparel will not only tire you but it is dangerous. You may trip over them or catch your sleeves on pot handles."
So, I'm guessing an outfit like this wouldn't be what one would wear to clean house??
I guess it's a good thing I clean in sweatpants.
Check back next Tuesday for another tip!

Less than one week has gone by
and we've had another loss in our family. My grandma Martin passed away yesterday. She was 88 and suffered from Alzheimer's. In a way I'm glad she's gone - she's no longer held to the limitations of her illness.
I just wanted to share a couple of my favorite things about my grandma from when I was a kid.
FAYGO. On any given day, at any given time, you could go to my grandma's house and find an assortment of Faygo pop that would rival most grocery stores. And we could drink as much as we wanted.
Chop Suey. My grandma made the best chop suey EVER.
Fried taco shells. If we had tacos, my grandma would fry flour tortilla shells in oil just long enough to make them a little crispy, but still flexible enough to wrap. YUMMY.
Lipstick. In the "pink" bathroom (my grandma made the main bathroom in her house pink, with girlie accessories, while my grandpa got designated a small "man bathroom" near the garage), my grandma had this lipstick holder. It was a pink poodle, and it held a whole bunch of lipsticks. I would spend HOURS in that bathroom trying on lipstick. My grandma probably wondered how on earth she went through so much toilet paper. You know, since I had to wipe off the "evidence" before I came back out of the bathroom. I couldn't find any pictures online of the lipstick holder, this was the closest thing I could come up with. I wonder whatever happened to that thing anyway?!?
Her sense of humor. My grandma was pretty wild back in the day...and she was always one for a laugh. One year at our family reunion she did (what she called) an Indian dance on top of one of the tables (after drinking some "fire water"...LOL). Yeah, I doubt too many kids can say that about their grandma.
I'm thankful I got to have her around for so long. It's not every person in her thirties that can say she has all of her grandparents. I was fortunate to be able to say that until last night.
