Frustration, tea bags and napkin rings.

Yo. I have practically nothing to say at this hour of the morning, but that’s never stopped me before so I decided to write a post anyway.

Sam is already asleep. I feel compelled to sit up for a while because our AT&T U-Verse remote (see right) tried to give me a brain hemhorrage when it REFUSED to let me turn off the cable box and TV. Every time I pressed the power button both units would shut down and then pop right back on again … over and over and over and over. After 15 minutes of this crazy crap I just turned off the TV manually so I wouldn’t have to ram the stupid remote into the garbage disposer.

I’m thinking maybe the batteries are low. (This sounds like a nice Saturday activity for Sam.)

Before I head off to bed I’ve got one final project — a quick grocery list. We’ll be stocking up on essentials this morning for my mother-in-law’s visit — raisin bran, fruit, extra bagels, a box of tea bags and the good potato salad from Tom Thumb. Her flight gets in at 4:05. Sam will meet her at the airport and I’ll stay home to make dinner. Y’all are welcome to come, too, but please send an email to request a reservation so I’ll have enough napkin rings. I’m serving at 6:30 sharp. Thank you for reading this.
