Why I Quit Being a Vegetarian
I shamelessly stole this from Dooce. (Thanks, Heather.) This perfectly sums up my feelings about bacon.

Living in an Egalitarian Household
As we’re in the bathroom getting ready for bed, Craig is brushing his teeth. When he spits out the toothpaste, he aims it at a mysterious black spot on the sink bowl, left there by the kids. The black spot remains unmoved.
Me: Hahahahaha!
Craig: You liked that?
Me: Yeah, I like how you thought you were helping.
Craig: Just doing my part with the housework.
Me (rolling my eyes and leaving the bathroom): Yes. I know.
Craig (calling after me as he closes the door): Now I’m going to clean the toilet!

Macky: There’s only one more year until George Bush isn’t president anymore.
Me: That’s right.
Macky: Do you think he’s mad right now?

What a Coinkydink!
Our family attends a Quaker meeting where two of the members are a husband and wife whose last name is Nail. One morning, the Nails stood up and made an announcement. In the car on the way home, our children were riding in the back (with Will sitting directly behind Craig) while Craig and I made chit-chat.
Craig: I was just thinking about the Nails—
Will: I was just thinking about screws.

Remembering My Roots
I’ve always appreciated Conan O’Brien, but this takes my love to a whole new level. Way to step it up under pressure, Conan.
I’m having flashbacks of watching “The Mandrell Sisters” with my parents. I wanted to be Louise Mandrell. Yes, I’m that old. And that dorky.
