Since we moved to our new house, the paper is always on our front porch....placed neatly on the door mat. I have wondered about this, because I think everyone should have their paper delivered in the same manner. It's a product and service that we purchase. At our old house, we were lucky if it hit the driveway. And getting a dry paper on a rainy day was a treat. We pay the same price for the paper at both houses. I love the extra effort and service, but everyone deserves great service.
This is not to poke fun at Shane, but this story is really priceless. Actually there are two things that I have to share. Shane has been trying to perfect his ability to make a good cup of coffee. Generally he puts too much coffee in the filter and he fills the caraffe to the top (12 cups). I've told him that he can just make 4 cups and use less coffee. He told me once that he did not know that he had options on the water amount. :) For some unknown reason, he asked me how much coffee he needed to put in the filter. I told him 2 scoops and to only fill the caraffe to the half point. He admitted later that my directions perfected his coffee. He will probably keep working on his ratios, but he has the coffee making going on now.
Shane has also been doing laundry for a long time. It's a very impressive quality in a husband and bff. He started laundry yesterday and I walked in just as he was putting the fabric softener back in the cabinet. Something didn't seem right so I walked over and checked out the situation. I was stunned at first. He had poured Downey in the soap dispenser. humm. I asked why he did this and he said that he was putting his detergent in to wash the clothes. I pointed out that he had poured downy and he was still telling me no...I had to take the downy out of the cabinet and read it to him. OMGosh! But this brings many answers to the laundry he does...like...why do we run out of Downy so often when it's supposed to do 80 loads? Why don't the stains ever come out of the clothes he washes? Why do the towels smell different when he does them? Why do the clothes seem to have a soft feeling to them that feels thick? Well, we have uncovered all of these mysteries. He said he wondered why I bought so much detergent and so many different kinds. LOL. I changed our system to Woolite for gentle washing, whites and darks. So we have different choices for detergent depending on what we are washing. Also, I have always used Downy in the washer on the rinse cycle and I use a dryer sheet as well. Maybe overkill, but it makes the laundry process and clothes turn out to be a pleasant experience. So, I will take the blame for not explaining the new Woolite system. And I guess he will have to own up to the fabric softener. owever, Downy has changed their containers and drifted away from just blue downy. This whole experience has made me laugh everytime I think of it. It will always be a great memory and a funny story to share. The great part of this is that I'm married to someone who brings me great laughter and he's a great sport. He is so funny and I love him for all the fun he brings to our marriage. He's definitely a LOL Man. The absolute best kind of man to share my life with....it's never dull and I dig that about him!
Does this look complicated? LOL Man in action.
The weekend is coming to an end and as always it passes by so quickly. Tillie will be going home tonight or tomorrow, depending on what time her mom and dad return from their trip. We have really enjoyed her visit. We hope that she continues to show her parents that she found her voice on the square. She should definitely share her feelings, and as I noted yesterday...she has A LOT to say about a lot of things. Here is one feeling that she shared...not sure what she meant, but it's hilarious.
Katie got a new job at a local restaurant and attended her orientation yesterday. She is perfect for this particular job because she is a native Texan. She will be part of the wait staff and will be waiting and servicing dinner guests. She also will have to do some country line dancing to entertain the guests. She told her new boss that the dancing would be okay. However, she noted that she didn't know if it took two left feet or two right feet to mess it up...but she definiately had the feet to create chaos on the line. We think she will do great. Her boss thought she was hilarious. She's my other source for LOL!
We will bring the weekend to a close by finishing the laundry and some of my OCD making sure the house is in order for the week. We hope you have a great week and we'll try to do the same.
Until tomorrow....
