My recommendation is to NOT locate your craft cabinet directly over your clothes washer unless you particularly enjoy washing your clothes over and over again because of the fun little surprises you find in the dryer.

Mimi has started calling me "mother" in French, which sounds a lot like MuhMa' - with the accent on the second syllable. This, for some reason, irritates the heck out of Lizzie.
This morning when Mimi was loudly protesting something I said, using the only French word she knows, Lizzie whirled around and demanded that if she was going to whine, she should at least whine IN ENGLISH.
ok then.
At which point we all stared at each other for a second, and then busted up laughing.
In French.
oh-hoh-hoh-hoh-hoh-hoh

n00b to the machine. (in case you're not hip like me, that's short for "newbie" or "new person". I'm ANYWAY...
I will say I've never been in the post office with a friendlier bunch. By the time I left, we had shared recipes, car accident stories, and pictures of grandkids. Not even kidding. Secretly though, I was glad to get out of there before the caroling started, because somehow I always get forced into singing soprano. Do I look soprano to you?

Best tip I learned at the post office today? You should always cut homemade fudge with a wet knife.

you're welcome.
and
Merry Christmas!

thanks for the season's greetings, JustRandi. I'd just like to say....
Merry FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh, and you totally look like a solid alto.
oh, and don't forget to talk about how you are "jiggy with it" when discussing how hip you really are. You dig?
I should teach Mimi some new french words. A good phrase to start with is from "The Incredibles"
Et votre tenue est totalement ridicule!
"And your outfit is totally ridiculous! "
k, guess that is all for now. except to say
Merry Christmas!!!!!
I think Dave has had one too many candy canes. Five separate comments? ;-)
I hate the Post Office.
And Merry Christmas to you too!
I think Dave just knows what a comment junkie I am, and it's his davish Christmas present.
Having said that, I think it's also entirely possible that he's had one too many candy canes. ;)
What about store-bought fudge? Do you cut that with a wet knife, too?
My mailing secret is that I never go to the actual post office. I go to one of those mailing stores. They are usually much faster.
Merry Christmas, Randi! I adore you!
How funny!! Your stories crack me up! ~Merry Christmas!~
see, the machine is meant for those who know how to run the touch screen buttons but the only people who use it are the illiterate "over 90" variety....
May the joy of the Holiday Season make your Christmas bright
I have crafts above my dryer, too--seems a little silly when you think about it.
My kids have taken French for years, sure wish they would speak it at home--I LOVE IT.
My best automated machine story--at the movie theater a woman didn't know how to use the machine so I walked her through it and then at the end when you are to put your debit card or credit card, she said, "Oh, I was planning on using "money"."
I feel like having homemade fudge, but I don't feel like making it ; )
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
Dave, you are far and away out in front. Only problem is no one else is racing. I suspect that you have had one candy cane too many most of your life.
Sorry I took so long in line but I like to get my monies worth.
Some of my nbf's I have made in the self mail line at the post office. I have become an excellent and very fast tutor for those lines. I also sell stamps out of my purse for those who are just in line to buy a stamp. (WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?) I have been known to come out sever cents ahead because of the lack of exact change. I hope I won't have to spend the Holidays in jail for competing with the post office on federal property. MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Hope you have a blessed and very Merry Christmas! ♥ HUGS ♥
Crap. I forgot to buy dish soap.
Whining and fighting, then laughing - sounds just like today at Target w/the kiddos.
You're lucky. My teens think I'm a dork when I use teen-slang.
Oh, you were kidding, right??
And does the wet knife work with brownies, too? I always have trouble with them...
Merry Christmas to you!
:~D
Very destructive use of household appliances, nice.
French is good. My kids learned latin at their school and the word "FACE" just so you know, in latin sounds like the F-word. Or worse. And teenage boys like to teach it to the 4 and 5 yr old little siblings so that people mistake them for cursing little heathens. Such a joy.
