I’ve been thinking I should do some regular weekly addition here. Like ‘Facebook Friday’ where I share the craziest status post I found for the week. If there was a day of the week starting with an “I,” my new category would have the name ‘Idiot’ in it someplace and would be a whole lot catchier. I would share stuff like I read yesterday…
This dude wrote a long letter and tagged some of my FB friends in it. He used the ‘F-word’ 4 times to start the message. Then he explained that he had feelings for a member of their family — and had hidden said feelings for years. He poured out his heart in hopes that the family would not think less of him, and wanted to publicly announce what he had already shared with his secret love in private. What a horrible time he’s had throughout his life pining silently away for this woman who didn’t (until now) know how he felt! He said, “Get married and have kids toss around a couple girlfriends always wondering why they never lasted… What would it take for you to finally say BLEEP IT! and tell her.”
Then, dude named the chick and linked to HER FB page so I troll it and find she’s married. So I troll her husband’s page and find that he only has 5 friends so he will probably never, ever find out. And then… she liked the dude’s post and all the family he tagged gave him ‘high fives’ and mentioned they wondered what took him so long to profess his love. (All this reading and trolling took about 5 minutes and BARELY made 1st place over one friend whose husband has his eye on some floozy — her words, not mine — from a neighboring county.)
So again, what do you think about ‘Facebook Friday’ here on whatifitdid.com? Next week, I might get to tell about chick’s friendless husband going to jail for battery or worse… or… you might get to see photos of a wedding. Cool, yah?
Or maybe you have the same thoughts about my brilliant idea as Libby. She remains unimpressed.

I ended up in this furniture store one day late last week and now I spend almost every waking moment thinking about this one certain bed. I’m in need of a new mattress. The one I have feels like heaven the second you crawl in bed — but in about 3 hours, I’m wide awake and crawling out… my back feeling like it belongs to someone twice my age. The down pillow-tops (yes, there are pillow-tops on both sides of the mattress) makes it so high off the ground, I almost need a stepladder to get in. It’s like sleeping on this huge, fluffy, feather pillow. I’m thinking I need something like a sheet of steel instead.
So I walk in this furniture store to meet someone else to help pick out a couch and the second I’m inside, I walk like a zombie to the bed section of the store. The beady-eyed salesman spotted me right away. Mr. Beady Eyes immediately directed me to this fabulous (and fabulously expensive) set-up and instructed me to lie down. He clicked a remote control a few times and the pressure I was feeling in my back disappeared. For only a couple bucks a night, I would certainly be a new woman. A couple bucks a night, he explained… for the next 10 years! 10 years? Oh my.
I talked to Libby about this investment and her concern was primarily reference budgeting and monthly expenditures for treats and bacon.
On the plus side, it sure would be easier for the ole’ girl (HER — not me… ok, me too I guess) to get in bed at night. We’ve decided to read and investigate this whole new bed thing a little more before plopping down that much money. Because how on earth could I explain to this face that there’s no bacon in the house?

And good things (like bacon) always come to those who wait…

The best dog on the planet (Libby) is a senior hound, no doubt about it. Her eyes over time have become a bit cloudy, but nothing out of the ordinary says the vet. The old girl can see good enough to spot Freda eating a snack beneath the tree in the front yard.
And here’s how I know with 100% certainty Libby spotted the rodent too…

I admit, I’m a little bummed out when I browse Facebook and see everyone posting photos of their Christmas decorations because I don’t have a single light to enjoy yet this year. I know I’m blessed and I’m so very grateful… but I want to be in the Christmas spirit and it’s hard when I don’t have a place to decorate. Moving begins in 6 days and we’re finally thinking about packing. I have GOT to paint, and buy a stove and dishwasher — when I’d rather be buying toys and baking cookies. (I’m such a whiner!!)
So as I’m browsing photos from last year’s holiday to make whatifitdid a bit festive for this season, I found a a ton of photos taken on Christmas Day. Looking more closely at one in particular, I notice a Wanwan photo bomb!
Libby knows Coco isn’t supposed to step outside and is blocking her path, and right between her back legs is Wanwan peeking inside the warm house. What a reminder of how small my granddaughter was a year ago, and also that we had snow on Christmas Day. Oh, and I’m also reminded that last year I had a Chihuahua pooping on my bedroom floor. Every. Single. Night.
I feel better already!
