Stinky

My house reeks.

We are finally in the home stretch of having the lower level completed – only a few weeks left to go. Right now they’re working on staining the wood, and goodness me but there is a lot of wood down there to stain.

Thankfully we’re doing this in April, when I can open a few windows and let the house breathe, and not in the chill of December (when the weather is more like this).

Whenever I think of the word ‘stinky’ my mind goes to the movie Green Mile. They’re all on death row, and the crazy guy in the corner cell starts singing, “Barbeque, me and you, stinky pinky, pew, pew, pew.” Yeah, a little morose. But it happens every time.

Do you connect random things with old movies?

  • I purchased these pleather shorts from H&M last fall and wore them a couple of times. But lately, they’ve become my favorite thing to put on. Though the first time I donned them, my oh-so-funny hubby gathered the kids around him and said in an oh-so-serious voice, “Kids, I have sad news. Your mommy has… [Continue Reading]

  • As I type, the sun is finally peeking out through the clouds, and it looks like it’s going to be a pretty darn nice day here in Minnesota. Dare I say – it may even feel like summer? Warmer temps mean showing off those toes, and that means I better touch up the polish before… [Continue Reading]

    Wild About You
  • I’ve done my fair share of complaining about the rain. But yesterday, I did nothing of the sort. We didn’t see any sunshine – in fact, it absolutely dumped buckets of rain here in Minnesota. But after a long trip home from a funeral, I was so ready for a quiet morning at home. Besides,… [Continue Reading]
