Your pipes will freeze.
This morning I woke up to find my hot water not working, my yard flooded and water shooting up out of the pipes outside of my house. Ironically enough my husband left at 6 a.m. earlier this morning to catch a plane to Los Angeles, California. Before he left, he wrote down the plumber's name and number just in case I needed it. Avoid a not fun Saturday by letting your hot and cold water run from your faucets and showers at night when the temperatures drop below...
Black eyed peas and circumcision…
photo credit: citymama Happy New Years! My mother always told us that it is good luck to eat black eyed peas on New Year's Day. Let's hope that is true.

The neighbors with the toilet in their front yard
This morning at around 8 a.m. someone knocked on our door. I hate when people knock on my door. I feel like I am forced to answer it because my car is in the driveway. I hate that.

As a general rule I try to avoid small towns in Alabama. I am not defending or explaining myself on this matter. But my husband and I were invited on this particular trip and I decided what the hell a. I loved camping as a child and b. I have been to Dismals Canyon a couple of times when I was younger and I thought my husband would really enjoy seeing Dismals...
Unfriend is the 2009 Word of the Year
While driving home after work and listening to NPR, I heard that Unfriend is the 2009 New Oxford American Dictionary Word of the Year. I admit that it makes me feel sane to deny a friend request when I have no idea who a person is or when I deny a friend request because I am not friends with that person but i am not sure that I have ever unfriended someone. It also makes me wonder if I have been unfriended at least in the social networking world. Shouldn't the Word of the Year be a positive word instead of...
