Jeans on sale!

Me: Hey, guess what? I got an incredible deal on these jeans. They were on sale!

Tami: Really? How much were they?

Me: Two bucks!

Tami: Oh, "deer"!

Loose Wire

Have you ever started a task thinking it will be an easy job that will only take a couple of minutes? Yeah, me too. It happens all the time. For example...

"The internet is down. I think the problem is probably a loose wire. It should be a simple fix. I'll just go down and take a peek..."

Gimme a sign!

Y'all know how much I love signs... especially dumb ones. Whelp! Here we go again!

So........ We're just supposed to GUESS?????

I can't breathe

The word literally is quite possibly the most overused and misused word in the english language right now.

For example:

"I am literally starving to death right now!"
Ummm... no, you're not. You're really hungry right now.

"I am literally going to tell my boss to go jump in the lake!"
Well, not exactly. If you did, you wouldn't have a job much longer.

"I am literally the worst singer in the world!"
Nope. You may be tone deaf, and a truly bad singer, but you're not the worst.

"I am so tired. I am literally going to sleep for a week!"
Not even close. You may sleep longer than usual, but your bladder might have something to say about you sleeping for a whole week.

However, there are times when the word literally can be used appropriately and correctly.

For example:

"I am literally typing a blog post right now".
True.

"My lawn mower is literally out of gas".
Also true. No mowing will happen until I make a trip to the gas station.

"Yesterday it literally rained hard for more than an hour".
Yep! True as well. We had some fairly wicked storms yesterday afternoon.

And then there's this:

This is LITERALLY me right now...

Doughnut forget Abby's birthday!

Look at this awesome birthday cake! Abby's good friend, Caleb, made it himself.

In case you don't know, Abby LOVES doughnuts. Note the doughnut boxes in the left side of the photo as well.

Happy Birthday, Abby!

Happy Birthday to my baby girl, Abby! My little sugar lump turns 20 today. This is a significant birthday in the Meyer house. Today marks the end of our days with teenagers. We love our three kids dearly, but as any parent knows, the teen years can be challenging to say the least. Tami and I will never again be the parents of teenagers. We will be grandparents of teenagers, but that is all together different. When our grandkids are teenagers we get to watch the show instead of being part of it.

Happy Birthday, Abby! I love you very much!

Feeling Sick

I think I feel a cold coming on...

I better get the extra strength...

A great night

What a great night! My eldest grandchild, Sveta came over for some one on one time with her grandma and her Goppa. She got to swim, eat PB&J sandwiches, stay up late, and spend the night. Tomorrow her little brother, Asher, will join us for some swimming. In case you're wondering, Elliott is camping with his other grandparents. Through all this one thing is certain... these grandchildren have two sets of doting grandparents who love them very much!

Estate Sale

My in-laws are downsizing to a condo after living in the same house for 50 years. Tomorrow there is an estate sale where most of the stuff that won't fit in the condo will be sold. Preparing for this sale has kept me busy and quite distracted. Things should get back to normal in a few days.

No Chocolate

You may find this shocking, but I don't like chocolate. I know, I know... what kind of weirdo doesn't like chocolate? Well... me.

Chocolate ice cream? Can't stand it!
Chocolate bars? Yuck!
Chocolate milk? Meh!
Chocolate fudge? Ewwww!
Hot fudge? The worst!

Having said that, why does this thing look so delicious? It probably looks better than it tastes.
