(very temporary) New design & other stuff
Like many of you, I think Valentine’s Day is overrated. (Hence the by-line under my site title….and if you know where I got that by-line, you’ll have a small piece of my heart. No kidding!) I do try to make it a fun and enjoyable day for my family and I, but I have never been a big fan of commercialism. And no man should ever wait for a manufactured holiday to give his s/o candies/flowers/cards. She’d be much more surprised by these gestures at almost any other time during the year, and it would be ‘just because’ instead of ‘well, its’ Valentine’s Day, I had to’. Although this is about the only time I get such things from my husband, so I guess I better shut up and just take what I can get. But I digress. I still couldn’t resist giving my blog and lj a little VD-themed makeover. And it’s for this week only. What do you think? I know it’s very plain, but I just LOVE my little devil cupid!
Speaking of men, is it awful that, upon nearly falling in the toilet, I yelled out to my husband that I’ll cut his balls off if he doesn’t start putting the seat down? This was the second time tonight. I have had a similar conversation with the man before, and he just says that the men outnumber the women in this house (3 to 1, in fact), so he should be able to leave the seat up. I call bullshit on this one. Since my sons were brought up to put the toilet seat back down, that actually makes HIM outnumbered, as he’s the only one who doesn’t do it. I know any men reading this probably think it’s pretty stupid of me not to look. But keep in mind that most of the time, it’s just my sons and I here. Therefore, the seat is down probably 95% of the time. It’s not like I am asking for much. I even suggested we all put the lid down when we’re done, that way everyone has to raise something and put something back down.
Well, it’s late, and I have to work tomorrow and really don’t have time to get more worked up over this.
