SATURDAY! SATURDAY! SATURDAY!

This is totally random!  I'm watching Salem season 1 on Netflix and it's interesting but not what I was expecting.  I was hoping it was historical fiction more on the crazy and less on the witch side. I really am watching because I want to see Lucy Lawless in season 2 (which starts tomorrow night) and see how she fits in.  I'm such a modern woman... girl acting crazy and I'm like, "Check her for lyme disease, look for a tick bite." LOL

MH and I watched Salem a while back and had the same reaction. It wasn't what we expected but ended up liking it quite a bit. We are looking forward to season 2!

I was reading the drinking thread from last night...

FIL doesn't acknowledge our existence. Why? We gave DS my maiden name as his last name.

Speaking of light fixtures, the house we live in/are trying to buy has a ceiling fan in almost every single room. Mudroom, kitchen, living room, and both bedrooms.

The kicker? They are ALL DIFFERENT.

Plus the one in the kitchen is uncomfortably low. It's not an issue for SO and I, but it is for our taller friends.

Wow ours has quite a few ceiling fans but only the living room and bedrooms. So not quite the overkill you have. Are you guys going to switch some out?

We need to add additional lighting to the living room but we're intimidated because we know next to nothing about that so we'd probably need to hire someone.

We'll definitely switch the kitchen one since it's a head bump hazard. I actually love the throwback/vintage style of it but it's just too low.

Living room and mudroom are very close in style but not the same. They're both hideous. Living room has a controller for it, which my SO thinks is the coolest thing ever.

We'll also probably replace the second bedroom one because it's laughably tiny. It's like a mini fan.

I love the one in our bedroom.

It's funny because I don't mind all the fans... It's just the style of some of them that bothers me. This house doesn't have central air so it'll be nice to have all the circulation.

I'll have to take pictures of them all because it is funny. We always point it out to people when they come over.

I've considered that!  My brother is developmentally slow and will not likely have a child to carry on my maiden name. My dad was the only boy as well. Is your reasoning similar?  

It is not you, its an ego thing some men have. My husband's family would probably have the same issue.  MH's family tradition (Same first and last name, different middle name so nobody is a junior) and would probably be highly offended if I didn't give boy their last name.

There were a number of reasons. The primary one was that I identify very strongly with my maiden name and DH doesn't have a strong connection with the name he inherited.

I do have a similar situation with carrying on the family name, but DH is in he same boat and it wasn't a deciding factor.

No kidding on the ego part! We never thought he would hold out this long. I hope your family responds well to the decision you make.

We could get this trending.

My father stops speaking to me when I got my own place.

Not if you don't use the hashtag. FTFY.

That doesn't even make sense to me.

I just watched this like 5 times. Amazing.

ETA I made H watch too. He laughed, looked at me, looked at the doog, and said "don't get any ideas". He's no fun.

I just spent way too long brushing the mats out of my cocker spaniel's fur. Then she rolled around on the ground like a freak and matted herself up again. I give up.

It's so sad what will keep some people away from their own family. Sorry he is acting like this!

I've had two neighbors come over to feel sorry for me as I attempt to clean up our yard. This is what happens when you buy a house that has been vacant for years. The overgrowth is in-fucking-sane.

I know I should clean my fridge out but I HATE doing the trays at the bottom,..

I did this this morning. I hated every minute of it but now it looks so much better! I also cleaned out the pantry and discovered a box of falafel mix that went bad 4 years ago. We didn't even live here 4 years ago which means I packed and moved an expired food item from our last place ...

This is me right now

Guys, I am so excited but still in a state of shock. We adopted a dog today! We've been talking about it for awhile, but hadn't decided when. We just spontaneously visited the SPCA adoption event at Petsmart and ended up falling in love with a two ear old hound dog. He's so precious! I am in love like whoa.

I did this with quite a few things. Mental note to self for next time-don't pack in a hurry!! Plus don't buy things you *might* use...in our house it will be wasted!

[rablissful]

RajahMD he's sooooo cute! Rescues are the best!

[RajahMD]

OMG, the cats are losing their minds. Between us and our roommate, we have three cats. One tried to climb up a curtain when he first saw the dog, and then hid behind the fridge. The other is hiding under our bed and won't come out. The third one will approach the dog, but freaks out if the dog acknowledges him. Too funny!


I still can't believe we adopted a dog. Eek!
