I mentioned yesterday that I had homework. What I didn’t mention was that when I was going into my bedroom to read said homework, I asked Shortman to turn down the speakers on the computer. Or put on his headphones. Or “shut that crap off.” (Because, I needed further proof that I am fuckin’ old. My kid’s music is ‘crap’.)

His response? “Well, why don’t I just play ‘Afternoon Delight’ instead?“

Now I’m wondering, as I flip on the reading light and get under the covers, “What???!??”.

But there are just some questions that you don’t ask, because, y’know, you may actually get an answer.

Lela over at “Who Made This Mess” took me up on my challenge for anyone who wanted to play meme. Go see her 8 things. Note: Contrary to her #2, we are not married to the same man - although Mr. Hot? Does.the.same.thing.

Lys at Just Because sent me her link - right here. Lys, I watch Footballer’s Wives, too. My favorite character has just got to be Tanya. How can anyone be that much of a bitch and yet have others out-bitch her?

WhyMommy awarded me another “You Make Me Smile” award, which is so very sweet of her.

She’s one of my inspirations for the “Save The Boobies” drawing that I’m having, and she’s looking for Walkers/Runners to raise money for Breast Cancer awareness as well. If you all can’t contribute (believe me, I understand that times are not easy) or walk, please link to my post (and get your entry!) or join Team WhyMommy and help us.

And, since Fall is coming in nicely and fall vegetables are hitting the stands, I thought this just looked yummy, courtesy of emeals:
