My Crazy, Busy, Funny Life!

Happy Monday!
 
It looks like spring outside but not for long, the rain and snow are coming! I'm quite pleased about this because we are headed to Truckee this coming weekend and a fresh dusting of the white stuff will be nice.
 
If you live in the Sacramento area or are interested in watching on-line, Mason will be on Good Day Sacramento tomorrow morning in the 8 AM hour, probably about 8:20. He's pretty excited to show that he is not only handy in the kitchen, he can do some other things, too. You will have to tune in to see or check it out on-line after. Here's the link.
 
This is one crazy busy week, but I have an observation to share with you all, some of you old-married folks will likely get a chuckle out of this, but here's the way it goes: Dave plans to make chili for an upcoming event and goes to the store to buy the ingredients. He will come home and if it's something that does not need to be refrigerated, he will stack it on the counter. I'll see the pile and put the groceries away. He'll then come home and ask what happened to his chili fixins'. When I explain I put them away he will then inform me he planned to use them. "Yes, and your event is not for another 3 days." This has happened in our marriage over the years with food, clothes, project supplies, and who-knows what else. Is it just me, or could it be possible that Dave could live in a house with everything he ever will need to use will be in a pile in the vicinity of where he plans to use it? I see this in my head as a Sunday comic strip, in full color and cut out to hang on refrigerators all across America! Maybe not, but when I do laundry, I put my clothes away even though I know I will  be wearing them the next day. I also put the diced tomatoes in the cupboard just above where they would be piled waiting for me to make chili, I mean, it's the difference between reaching directly in front of me or reaching up a few feet to the cupboard. Laughing! I'm not ragging on Dave, we've talked about this through the years and it's funny like the way I think he can lead troops into battle but can't effectively load a dishwasher OR be able to look at the dishes and tell if they are clean or dirty (psst, the water pooling on the upside down glasses tells you they are clean). I know, some will argue it's his way of not having to do the dishes, but that doesn't work! I would love to know if you've observed this or something like this, it makes me smile and who doesn't need a smile on Monday?
 
And let me leave you with a big Whoo-Hoo for Dave who got a 95% on his Anthropology paper AND scored highest in his class on the midterm! My husband who hates to write really rocked this one!
 
Have a great week!
