Random Thoughts from the Dornfeld's

 -Dan has all kinds of tricks up his sleeves.  His best one is getting me to go to the grocery store in secret ways.....Honey, let's go rent a movie, but now I need some soda and it's cheaper at the grocery store.  Honey, we need gas at Wal-mart....hey we should go in and get some milk......darn it...he got me again.  I might resort to never running errands with him ever again in fear of ending up at the dreaded grocery store.  I don't have a lot of patience to begin with, but for some reason my "P" meter drops to below zero when I hit the threshold of a food market.

-We are averagely smart people.  Together we could sometimes be considered tentatively brilliant.  Today was not one of those days.  We finally got around to painting the last spare bedroom and touching up the edging in the other room.  Our gallon-o-paint only lasted for the big stuff.  For the trim we opened another can (of the same color) that we had laying around for awhile.  Well.....it so turns out that after 3 hours of painting, with Jill's help, we have flat tan walls with shiny tan spots splattered like cougar spots throughout the whole room!  Exceptionally brilliant; yep you guessed it we touched up with satin on top of flat!

-We are trying to clean up our act.  You know how some people put money in a jar to try to train themselves to stop doing something...mainly a vice that they have?  Well we've started this today trying to fervently stop one of our worst habits (habit cannot be named here...it's too embarrassing, but I'm sure our mother's know what it is).  Each vice is $.25 cents.  so far I owe $2.50, while Dan owes $1.00.  We are on our way to empty wallets.  Let's hope that we become more successful in our efforts so that we still have enough pocket change to feed ourselves.  Well, that might not be so bad....that would mean we wouldn't have to go to the grocery store!
