Snain
Today "the weather outside is frightful" as they say in that Christmas song that's been stuck in my head for the last 5 hours. It was snaining. (Snow+rain=Snain) Like a total dummy I used my windshield wiper fluid, which instantly froze to my wind shield, while driving mindlessly through the Springfield Interchange, a.k.a "mixing bowl". Driving that terrain is dangerous enough to kill you on a warm sunny day and is far worse in the treacherous snaining season. The fear of death is only heightened when one has water globs frozen to ones windshield, but have no fear I made it through.I sort of feel like I want to allow comments on my blog again. I've gotten lots of upset people telling me they don't like that it's not on there. I guess not only do they like to read my blog but they also like to read the comments. I haven't decided yet but I'm thinking about it. The thing is that when I write a blog that asks a question...it's impossible to get an answer if I've got no comments section. And I do have a question.
What is the proper disposal of pictures that you get sent of other people's children? For example -- I have pictures of my friend’s babies on the fridge and the kids aren't babies anymore. Can I throw them away after a while? What is the etiquette for that? I feel painfully terrible about throwing them out. Liz's daughter is going to be 7 in March and I still have her baby pictures all over the cotton pickin' place. And the Lord knows I love the Puckett family but I've got kid pictures of their 3 kids from birth to present day. Now that it's the Holidays -- I'm getting more updated ones and I'm worried I won't have space for them. Do I throw out the old ones? And if so -- why does it hurt so badly? And if I don't throw them out what the hell do I do with them? Huh....

You have a few options. For those kids you are extemely attached to, like gabby, you can start a scrap book with their pictures that you can "treasure forever" or just put in the closet. For those that you are not so attached to, you can either toss them out (can be painful) or you can start a "random" scrap book of all the kids. Either way, its a fun activity to do with your glue gun and left over decorations and something nice to do on those snainy nights at home.
Also, when winter arrives, they make windshield wiper fluid that has de-icer in it, for specifically this purpose. I would reccoment switching to this soon. You can just drain your windshield wiper fluid by holding down your wiper-button-thingy and letting it squirt it all out, then fill with de-icer stuff. (mom and dad should have some in their garage as well, but its pretty cheap!)
I like that scrapbook idea. You could even do a scrapbook that you could give to the "kids" when they graduate or something . . . that would be really cute, and it would get your creative juices flowin'.
