Wiping up the random

Remember how jealous you all were that my husband signed us up to be some sort of toilet paper testers? Well, the only thing better than getting a box of toilet paper in the mail is...

getting a second box? Now I am sure you can see how I missed this part of the directions that I highlighted for your viewing pleasure...

Suffice to say, we have not fulfilled the requirements to have opened the second box. In my defense though, it was not marked "toilet paper" anywhere that I saw. It could've been cookies! I definitely thought I heard cookies crying out to be rescued.

I just need to take a moment out of my girl giggling to get you caught up to speed on some further rules that were printed on the back of the page...

I'd like to invite you over, but don't want to put you through the stress of our toilet paper diary keeping!

I also must point out that the diary sheet (known forever here as diarrhea sheet...and we're back with the giggles) has spots for 500 marks. You have to mark the box each time you use the toilet paper for the designated purposes. There are 165 sheets of toilet paper on the diary (giggle) roll, so I hope I am not alone in being unable to fathom being able to check off any more than 100 boxes...if that! I am starting to think this whole survey has more to do with finding out how fast people go through toilet paper. I think I will just make one check and call it a day...a very rough day. Now I am concerned that we are going to be charged for the toilet paper because we have not CRACKED open the packages and done our DOOTIE DUTY (all puns intended)!

Moving on...(yes, there's more random)

My friend does not always know when her first grader has made off with her ipad, so whatever opponents she is playing games with get an extra treat (without realizing it), like trying to guess this drawing...

Maybe my friend just tells us her daughter took the ipad, and she really is just having trouble with still-life drawings of utensils.

I spent over 45 minutes at the liquor store today trying to gather supplies for my mother's retirement party next weekend. I thought I would go with a wine, chocolate, cheese gathering since it will just be for the ladies. Apparently there is a class that non wine drinkers should take before setting themselves free in such a place. There are a couple of kinds that I like, but I think actual wine drinkers don't even count them as real vino. I would be more well versed in hosting a party with several ginger ale and kool-aid flavors and brands, accompanied by various chocolate chip types baked in a variety of cookies. The woman who worked at the store was trying to be helpful, but most of her questions just raised more puzzles. In the end, I am confident that fun names and pretty labels make for the best selections! 

Look at Stacy here with her wine glass mocking me! Go see what kinds of random she has going on at her party today.
