Gone fishin.
The other day we took the kids to go trout fishing. They caught 12 fish in just a few minutes. It was amazing.
But the best part was they have this guy that cleans and fillets them for you. While you wait.

So there we were. Watching the guy fix up our fish. Happy and feeling relieved that he was doing it and not us.
One of the kids remarked that maybe having fish guts spattered on you just might be the worst thing ever.
"I bet there are worse things," my sister commented.

Yeah, I thought to myself---hemorrhoid's are way worse than that.

Seeing the look of surprise and horror on everyone's face I realized that I had just blurted this out. In front of everyone. "I mean, it's just what I've heard. It's not like I would know this from, um, personal experience or anything." I assured everyone.
I'm sure they believed me.
Sisters are a wonderful thing.


Me and my sisters are together for the next few days. I love my sisters. They are awesome and we seem to laugh a lot.

I don't know if other sisters do this, but we seem to spend a lot of time comparing body parts. Our children are completely grossed out. They are like---you guys are always saying something like---mine is bigger than yours, mine has more hair, mine turned black and fell off...

We totally didn't say that last one. Except maybe once.

All I can say is this. Wait until you are 40 and see what you and your sisters talk about.

And when we aren't comparing we are grooming each other. We decided to dye my sisters hair blonde. She is now a redhead. But it looks cute. It really does. And I'm not just saying that.

We are trying to convince another sister to let us do her hair tomorrow night. And we can't figure out why she won't let us. Of course we can always try when she is asleep...

It's amazing what you can find...

I have a filing cabinet upstairs in the nook. A few months ago I noticed that for some reason someone had moved my filing cabinet down to the cellar. Then last week the filing cabinet was back upstairs! This was very confusing.

This weekend we were dragging stuff from all over the house outside for our garage sale. It was then that I made my big discovery.

We have TWO filing cabinets. Huh. Go figure. How is it that I did not know this? The good part is that my husband hasn't been moving the filing cabinet up and down two flights of stairs in the middle of the night.

But the big question is: What in the world is in the second filing cabinet!
