Minutiae

5 names the refrigerator “crisper” drawer should have been called:

• Wilter
• Forgetinator
• Sweet-Jesus-what-is-this-vile-green-liquid-O-tron
• Yeah, Right, Like You’re Going to Eat Broccoli Tonight Instead of a Fistful of Wheat Thins
• Ol’ Stinky

:::

I bet toilet training Riley will be exactly like this. With the songs and everything.

I bought myself a most excellent pair of slippers ($4.99 from Walgreen’s! Klassy!):

I think they go quite nicely with the decor, don’t you?

    The video.

    As for the fridge crisper issue, you should try Tupperware’s “Fridge Smart” line. It really works wonders for me, since different fruits and veggies need different air flow to last longer.

    They look like they go well with bonbons.

    Um…little Japanese tiger peepee. As in the body part. Yowza.

    Is it weird that I’m jealous of your pedicure?

    Fahncy.

    You have delightful ankles!

    we call that little drawer thingee “the rotter”

    I should comment on yesterday’s entry there, but since I already started, I have a confession to make. Once I read that you could look up your high school alums on myspace, I went straight to it and started searching for people. I spent the rest of the night doing it and didn’t get to the part about your ex dying until I returned here today. That’s so fucking scary. Sad.

    Love the slippers. Give the crawler a kiss for me.

    Oh my…when did you and your slippers (and boy!) come visit my living room floor? I recognize those toys!

    I LOVE that picture of your baby.

    I have never seen happier pee than in that video.

    We have gotten much better about the vegetables in the “crisper”, but thankfully no longer have a cheese drawer and therefore no longer have to clean it out and throw away bricks of green cheddar. Ew.

    I especially loved the part where the little tiger bent over and his dad happily wiped his ass, then they all waved goodbye to the turd in the toilet. I don’t have kids yet, but I’m positive that will be exactly what potty training will be like. Who DOESN’T like singing and wiping each other’s asses?

    was going to say something about your ankles and pedicure but i got beat. lol

  15. kate on July 18th, 2006 9:12 am

    Nothing like a little singing poo to brighten my work day.

    Animal prints are timeless – that’s what I’ve decided. My fave slippers were clearance $5.

    And other names for my freezer might include: “We Can’t Fit Anymore Damn Smart Ones!”.

    BTW, love your blog – why did I not find you earlier??? Adding you to Bloglines STAT. ;)

    Your feet look like Gladys Kravitz. Awesome.

    i read this yesterday, and when i went home i was afraid to open the fridge. i know there’s tomatoes in the crisper, but i have no idea since when.

  19. Mia on July 18th, 2006 6:15 pm

    Oh.My.God.
    Who knew Mr. Hanky was a Vapors fan??
    Thanks for the laugh.
    And of course, thanks for sharing all the brilliant words and pics, too.

    We call it the Rotter. And we got rid of it alltogether. Now we keep beer there.
