Conveniently Forgotten

I love Lifetime movies more than anyone you know.  I promise.  There are some I would never ever watch (the ones with old people) but there are more that I treasure saved on my dvr than I care to admit and that I will torture Andy to find somehow online once we move in together.  One aired recently was up in my top 5- Gracies Choice.  Starring a young Kristen Bell
 

If she were in my living room, Eric would try to hump her leg.

and a decently written story, it's one of the very few I've been able to find on dvd.  But since it was on, I recorded it.  And of course remembered why I hate this movie for it's opening scene where a beaut of a German Shepherd (top 5 breeds of dogs) gets left behind and desperately runs after the family car.

Nothing is sadder than sad animals.

Overly Sensitive

It's very important to be sure that you've got working smoke detectors throughout your house.  I am VERY sure I have a working smoke detector in my kitchen since it goes off nearly every time I turn on the oven.  There's no visible smoke, the thing is clear across my vaulted ceiling kitchen but it's beeping like crazy. 

I've got a different finger for you, mister.

Winter Storm Watch

Severe weather advisories, blizzard warnings, whiteout emergencies... these are phrases I could do without hearing for awhile.

It's been a rough winter here in A2, and having lived in Michigan my entire life I like to think I'm a pretty good judge of when the winter let us off easy or decided to bitch slap us in the face.

*SMACK*

This isn't my car but it's the general scene around these parts right now.  I noticed Rudy (my car) making a weird noise at stop lights today, likely because things on the undercarriage of a little Geo Prism tend to adjust themselves when scraped against a foot and a half of ice and snow.  For this I can thank the plow man who thinks the snow in our street belongs in my driveway.

I'm coming for you, plow man.
