I hope this doesn’t ruin things for you, kind of like when you are hot for a guy and then someone tells you that he kind of looks like your creepy uncle and all of the sudden he isn’t hot anymore …

But this morning I threw on this outfit to walk the dog and I caught my reflection in the mirror. I did a double take.

Is it just me, or do I look a lot like a deceased dictator?

Kim

I look like Kim Jong Il, right? Okay, so I am using the wrong hand but when I’m dictator, I’ll use my left hand because I’m a lefty.

God! I love it when blogs write themselves. Now I need to change clothes and never, ever wear this outfit again. Ever.

Time to cut the crap.

The boys have been all about making “habitats” lately. Scrotus’s teacher offered to give him her tree frog (awesome, thanks) and I had to stick firm to my NO CAGED PETS RULE. I told him no frogs or exotic beetles, but if Frank doesn’t come back after a month, we can get a kitten.
I passed a free pile on the way to a birthday party and I prayed the boys wouldn’t see it. Unfortunately they spied it walking home and brought back all this Planet Frog shit. TRASH.
Awesome. TRASH.
But wait, there’s more. It’s cracked! TRASH.
The fate of all my storage containers ever since they got into this habitat nonsense.
I think I tried to get rid of this before but the boys dragged it back out of the trash, which was where they got it. TRASH. Again.
Lonny picked this up to part out for a dog gate. We used part of it and this part is TRASH.

Hey everyone, if you like this post, I have a really good idea …

  2. Your post made me laugh. The resemblance is … uncanny. Having recently gotten a haircut that is very short, I’m feeling the same way! By the way, I don’t comment much nowadays because I’m getting your blog posts by email. I don’t know whether it shows that I’m reading it or not, but I still am. Keep up the blog–I’m enjoying it!

    • I think it is my dictator attitude that really shone through. Thanks for reading Mitzi! I don’t know how WP counts email reads but I appreciate knowing that you do.
