THINGS REALIZED THIS WEEKEND
1. Even though the Petite Filet has never cut hair before, she can do a pretty good job.
2. Even though the Petite Filet has never cut hair before, Texas T-Bone can hold still and not break into a sweat when she holds buzzing clippers and sharp, pointy scissors near his head.
3. Combining a dozen kids with a pool renders the phrase "don't splash me" useless.
4. About five families we know are building houses "out in the country." However, when they finally look out their new windows, they'll see houses exactly like theirs. If we ever move "out in the country" there had better be some mountains or a lake outside our windows.
5. The prospect of building a boat excites others almost as much as it does me.
6. If you have to buy a case of motor oil and a pack of toilet paper, you will have to walk the entire span of a Wal-Mart Supercenter.
7. Had Noah lived today, God would have told him not to bother with an Ark. He would instuct Noah to build a floating Wal-Mart, because every race, creed, color, ethnicity, level of intelligence, age and species are already represented there. I was a bit startled at the elephants on aisle 12, but I guess everyone's buying microwaves these days.
8. People in Texas are REALLY proud of their pickup trucks. I'm sure I'll have more on this at some point.
9. Our remaining pet, a Border collie named Gypsy, is the smartest, sweetest dog we've ever seen.
10. We can turn off the TV for a few days and not miss it at all.
Happy Monday, people! Might as well kiss this one on the lips, because it's going to be with us at least 24 hours. Yeah, I don't know what that means, either. Mondays are like drunk uncles, they keep showing up week after week, demanding ridiculous things from us. OK, I'm done for now.
