drew a line and giving a confession

Well, I didn't actually draw the line.....but saying "hung a line" just didn't have that ring, you know?

I have two balconies both with laundry lines on them....but the big balcony lines snapped....and out of I don't know....7 huge lines....I was down to 3. So my dear nephew bought me new laundry lines yesterday....so I hung them this morning. Happy bday to me. Or rather than I hung them....I drew them. May Allah make me forever good at lines. Ya rab! (but I'd be really thankful if I was better at personal ones..)

So it looks like I might actually be doing some laundry.......you know I'm rolling my eyes......

**********************

Oh yeah...the confession. Well....you may not believe this.....I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned this before....I may have. But since I have come back from Canada, I have not slept in my bed. Not once. I've been camping out on the livingroom floor. Every night my cannibal puts down a blanket and the duvet and my pillows and I sleep on the floor. I don't know what it is. I can't.....I don't want to sleep in my bed. I've done this before.....but this is the single most longest run I've had of this.

Now you know I'm gonna be looking up lonestar online....my daughter is a Q of RI as well. She drives us nuts....

Shoe is an egyptian curse word....it's VERY bad to call someone, Ya Gazma! Don't say it....ssshhhhhh!

Welcome to Mooseport? Hmmmmm......well....it was sappy and since I have to get up to pee all the time....I did miss quite a bit....of the movie, I mean....I don't think there were any important plot points in that movie. LOLOL!

The Stand is amazing....u know what I think gets me? Is the people walking around and getting a bunch of junk for free......don't you wish you could dream that? I don't know what it is about getting something for free......???

Muslim Wife:

Yeah...I notice it.....but it doesn't affect me. I'm indifferent. HA!!
