baby gates and mushrooms.
last night, in a word, sucked. at first.
alex and i met at target to pick out a baby gate. we chose an awesome metal one, with detachable swinging door. we get it home. we take it out of the box. and it’s bent. we were already frustrated, due to the dog dragging cat poo all over the house all day, so we decided to say f-it, and go wallow over dinner.
so we did.
the best place we found for wallowing is saltgrass. it’s dark, has awesome food, (especially the mushrooms) and $1.50 shiner drafts for him. we had awesome over-dinner conversations, and were finally starting to morph back into humans.
we even decided to give the baby gate purchase another try by going to super target. we came, we conquered, we even saw chris and alissa!
bring the baby gate in the house. take it out. it’s bent.
fortunately, we read the instructions TO THE BOTTOM this time, and realized it was supposed to be that way. installed the gate. it’s awesome. we may even keep the second one for the bedroom. LOL.
and the evening’s perfect ending? a fun-filled few hours of south park, of course!! (“dum-dum-dum-dum-dum”)
we woke up this morning to the incessant chirping from the smoke detector. again. this time, it didn’t go away.
ahh, the randomness of me…
speaking of random, here’s a few totally pointless pictures that won’t enlighten your day at all:
over my break, i decapitated a snowman.
i also noticed that milo loves audrey almost as much as i do, given the fact that he stares at her all day.
lol, this post is proof-positive i need a nap. one more day…
loves and AOT,
–jenp.s. good luck to the iowans who get to stand in gymnasiums for hours on end tonight, shuffling from one side to the other in order to show their support for their favorite dem. fun times. i’ll be sitting on my ass at home, so more power to you.
