Brad’s here

September 11, 2009 by Lauren 5 Comments

So, Brad’s (and Beth’s) grandma passed away this week, and the funeral was yesterday. You can read about it once Brad writes his post. (That lazybones.)

Speaking of lazy, it just goes to show that Laziness Always Wins. When Lloyd and I were in Omaha weeks ago, we found the perfect present for Brad, but I never got around to getting it in the mail. Turns out – he can just carry it back to Baltimore with him!

It’s a Disappearing Civil Liberties Mug. It has Amendments I – X on it, and when you add hot water, Amendments I, IV, most of V, VI, a bit of VII, VIII, and IX disappear. It was perfect for the boy who gets extremely upset about government issues – now he can have a hot cup of joe to illustrate his point.

What??  My liberties!!

A laundry miracle!

April 16, 2009 by Lauren 17 Comments

I’ve been behind in doing laundry this week, so tonight I grabbed a big gob of clothes and stuffed them in the washer. (It’s high-capacity, so it can take it.) I washed:

7 pairs of dress pants (one of them Lloyd’s best pair)
11 shirts (3 of Lloyd’s school shirts, his best Sunday shirt, 2 t-shirts, and various school shirts of mine)
some socks
a green pen

Wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles – these two shirts were the only things that got inked. I guess stuff was jammed in there too tight for a lot of damage.

Seriously. That’s all I’ve got.
