I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it! Tomorrow the Maytag Man comes to deliver my new washer and dryer. Good thing too, I’m running out of clothes I actually wear. I have to be this excited to do laundry!
I’m blessed to live in Arizona…It’s almost the middle of February and it was 82 yesterday!
Whenever Shane starts the trucks he says this to Beau “Do you hear that Beau? That’s the sound of good old V8 Power.” I always roll my eyes, but secretly, I like the sound of good old V8 Power too. (I know, I’m not so green.)
It practically killed me to send Beau to Baby School today in a way-less-than-stellar outfit (for the reason, see thought #1)…maroon pants, a green soccer t-shirt, and a blue football sweatshirt. Thanks goodness tomorrow is laundry day – he is positively out of clothes!
I wish I had taken these pictures with a real camera, not Shane’s cell phone because now I can’t make them bigger. And people wonder why I almost always have my camera with me…
I’m a closet NPR junkie. Have you heard
Nina Totenberg cover legal affairs? Seriously, I listen to her read Supreme Court transcripts like others watch soap operas and I love every minute of it.You know it’s Friday because I’m wearing my current favorite outfit blue jeans (gee, what a surprise) my GAP blouse with the ruffles and Nehru collar, and some sort of red shoes (flip flops or slides…this is Arizona after all.) Plus I drive Pearly Girl to work. And yes, I name my vehicles. Do you have any little quirks?
I think I should start passing some of my books along to others. Big step
for me. I really enjoy having full bookcases, but I also enjoy giving.

Every time I listen to this I crack up. I Crack up until I cry! I defy you not to laugh.
I love opening all the windows to enjoy the late afternoon sunlight streaming in.
It is such a River Day…you know those days when you spend hours lounging wherever you are, enjoying good company, good conversation, and good food. River not necessary, but beautiful.

Lizzi, I LOVE Flight of the Conchords too!!! But I don’t have cable, so I have to wait awhile to see the current shows… 🙂
Have fun with your new toys (washer and dryer)!
Lizzi says
Aren’t they hilarious Marie!! I haven’t seen their shows yet, but I can only imagine how funny they are.
Holli says
I’m jealous of so many things in this post I don’t even know where to begin! Let’s start with the 82 degree day Lizzi! Are you tryin’ to kill me out here?? LOL
Lizzi says
I know Holli! If it’s any consolation, it’s supposed to be 68 today and 62 tomorrow.
Thauna says
OK, I laughed out loud all alone in my living room! Too funny…I’ve never seen the show, I may have to watch it now. I’m hooked on so many HBO series that I try to skip a few.
And 62 degrees doesn’t make me feel any better…maybe I should move a few hours south…like 6 or 8.
Lizzi says
For all you wonderful commenters…if it’s any consolation (which I’m sure it’s not) it’s no longer in the 80s and we got a ton of hail at our house yesterday. I know it’s no snow and ice but it’s the best these parts of AZ can come up with!
Mar says
YES to all the statements and dares!!
we should live next door to each other!
gorgeous landscapes…never been but want to go to AZ!
