Another smart niece

The other day at The Wise Blonde's house, I helped her figure out how to 'share' an article on Facebook. TWB wanted to add a comment above the link but couldn't decide what to say. My 3 year old niece chimed in, "Just don't say any potty words, Mommy!" Thanks for that, Em. Pretty sure she wasn't going to say poopy toots fart butt, but you never know.

p.s. My 2012 wedding count increased to 7 today.

Monday, go away!!

This has been SUCH a Monday!

- Left my wallet at home when I left for work this morning. Realized this a few minutes into my drive - good thing since my gas light was on and I had no money to purchase gas. Turned around, got my wallet at home, and filled up - just arrived later to work than I had planned.

- Left my phone plugged in at work, which I realized in the parking lot when about to leave. Went back in to get it on the off chance that I receive an exciting phone call tonight instead of a prank call.*

- Almost put mustard on my popcorn instead of spray butter.

- Just realized I have been "charging" my hairdryer instead of my electric toothbrush.

*I was prank called yesterday for the first time in probably a decade - I mean, who does that anymore? - and I'm afraid it might correlate with me giving my number to a 22 year old this weekend. Yes, 22. TWENTY-TWO. I really should not be allowed to go to Bandito's.

Tips for every single male trying online dating

Get it together, people. You want to snag a good girl, right? Tips:

1) We know you "like sometimes going out but also enjoy quiet evenings at home." Tell me one person who this does NOT describe.

2) You are not a gentlemen. You are one person.

3) If your profile picture resembles a mugshot - or IS a mugshot - we will not email you back.

4) If there is no way to get a picture of you without showing both the camera AND the mirror, reconsider trying to get a girlfriend and instead try to make just one friend. Just one is all it takes for this picture thing.

5) My specified age range is for your actual age, not the age you "feel like in your heart."

6) If you are only "currently separated" and "have 3+ kids who live at home," I'm pretty much going to need your soon-to-be-ex-wife to meet me in person and promise me your marriage is actually over before I agree to meet you.

7) Proofread.
