More Random Thoughts**

I was looking through some of my archives trying to find a date for something, and I came across this post. I thought it was worth a rerun.

Also, the blogging well, it is pretty dry right now. Hope y'all enjoy.

1.) Why, when cooking a pot of beans, are there always at least a few beans that are still crunchy when the rest are cooked just right?

2.) Why does your husband start some kind of messy marathon project in the kitchen (or bathroom, or bedroom, etc, etc,) just when you need to be doing something important there?

3.) Why are containers heavier empty than when taken from the cabinet, fridge, medicine chest, and so on?

4.) Not to contradict #3, but why are half-full containers left out, but empty boxes, jars, bowls, etc. are replaced carefully on shelves, etc. Then when you pick them up, you realize that no, you do not have plenty of cereal, but you do have a lovely empty box, courtesy of your split personality family.

5.) Why are doors and drawers more convenient to leave open, than to shut after use?

6.) Why do the letches and weirdos still gravitate towards me, even though I am 44, married and weigh 300 lbs?

7.) Do I have "STUPID" written across my forehead in print only visible to my husband and daughter? No, really...

8.) Why is it more convenient to walk around, step over or step on anything left or thrown on the floor? Rather than pick it up, I mean..........Strange concept, I know, but work with me here, people.

9.) Why is their stuff - their stuff.............But your stuff is their stuff, too?

10.) Why does a filthy house attract VIP's? It does, folks, it does..........A mystery, to be sure........

11.) Why does a watched pot never boil, but brother, as soon as you answer the door, phone, or go to the farthest place in your house from the stove, it boils over onto and into your newly cleaned stove top?

12.) Why does permanent marker wash off items you want marked permanently, but the wash-off kind lives forever on a child's new Easter dress?

13.) Why does a pair of shoes that you love and that are comfortable seem to wear out or tear up in no time, but ones that hurt your feet but you spent too much on them to throw them away, last 40 years without wearing out, like the Isrealites' shoes in Exodus?

14.) Why do you keep coming back to my blog to read my rants and boring nothingness, when there are so many other exciting things to occupy your time? (I am flattered, though. My family just doesn't want to hurt my feelings, and I love them for it, but you other bloggers and new friends, it's a pleasant surprise to read your comments, :) Family, you have to love me, it's a rule, 'cause I love you, too. :)

15.) Why does my Heavenly Father still love me, when all I seem to do is mess up, multiple times a day? And yet, He patiently forgives, loving me and setting the example for me. Thank you, God, for loving me and forgiving me, when I don't deserve any of it.I'll be back later this evening to do my Sunday Dinner post. In the meantime, y'all have a great Saturday.
