Our Will
This morning we had
our wills notarized. It became almost
like an episode of The Amazing Race to find someone to do it for us. The bank turned us away and the library
wanted to charge us $30. By the looks we
received at those places, it seems they were not terribly comfortable with us
coming in their establishments with all our lesbian legal needs. Ultimately it didn’t really matter because one of our
friends came with us as a witness and turns out she has a friend who is a notary…take
that bank and library. Pay back to both
places also came in the form of my legs.
It is that time of the year when you still wear shorts, but mostly pants
because of the temperature change which means one becomes slightly negligent in
their leg shaving routine. Not only was
I prancing around as a lesbian, but I also had stubbly legs. Maybe I will add a codicil to my will and
donate one hairy leg to the bank and one hairy leg to the library.

My Great Idea!

This morning while
dusting the ceiling fans, I was hit with a moment of brilliance. It happened right when I changed the light
bulb in the ceiling fan and the light shown over my head. Additionally and oddly, inspirational music
a.k.a. disco music played at the same exact moment. That is when I received my message…”if you
build it, he will come.” I ignored that
and looked at the Clorox Disinfecting Wipes crammed under my arm and the Swiffer
that was held in my hand. It was at that
moment that I realized I must buy a sewing machine. Without a sewing machine, I’d have no way of
creating the next big As Seen On TV item…THE CLEANING HOLSTER! You heard it here first and by that I mean
you read it! Can you imagine the ease of having Clorox
Wipes and your Swiffer Duster ready for the quick draw?! I’m off to get to work on this before the big
holiday season spending spree!!
