What's the drawer under the oven for? When you started living on your own, did you ever do anything stupid? Like really, really stupid? I did and Sexy Nerd is never going to let me forget it. Geez, I was stupid. Perhaps I'm not the only one though. Let me ask you a question... What is this? (Photo from our 1st home:  https://www.kittydeschanel.com/2017/05/home-interior-decor-photos-kitchen-dining-room.html ) If you answered "I don't know what the heck that is," you'd better read on and learn from my mistake. I have a little disorder known as 'frugalitis'. Some people would insist that I'm just very cheap, but I assure you that it is a serious condition that's completely out of my control. I don't normally spend money on anything frivolous, but I love those little candy bars that used to go on sale for 10/$1. There are a lot to choose from. Kit Kats, Milky Ways, 100 Grands, etc. A few years ago, Hershey changed these to 8/$1

What's that? You're sick of this year and sick of the cold weather outside and, considering it's winter, are literally sick with a cough and runny nose? (Yuck.) I'm posting this early in December. Did you know it's technically still Autumn until the 21st, meaning we do the majority of our Christmas celebrating - decorating, shopping for gifts, office parties, holiday markets - in the fall? Such silliness. If the old saying is true and laughter truly is the best medicine, memes are a delightful prescription! You're going to be feeling better in no time, sickie. Funny Christmas Memes Last year's  Christmas Memes  post, which include plenty of inappropriate laughs that are in poor taste and not suitable to share with friends and family (aka the funniest ones for the holidays) is still raking in the ol' blog traffic. Welcome to the site, all you little Santas and Elves and Reindeer! Back by popular demand, here are new Funny Christmas Memes for 2023!

Sexy Nerd and I recently had a disagreement about a smudge on one of our windows. I said it was the result of an unfortunate bird. He said I was out of my mind. I think you know where I'm going with this. The smudge was just a smudge, caused by an indistinguishable source...until I snapped a photo of it at just the right angle. Do you see it?  Poor Tweety. We never did find a bird, so either it was okay and flew off or, more likely considering how hard it must have walloped our window to leave that smudge, another animal came by and took advantage of the easy meal. Coyotes and bobcats are common in our new neighborhood. At a certain point, I expect they'll start hanging out in our yard, waiting for our picture windows to serve up more tasty snacks. Yesterday, while chatting with Sexy Nerd in our kitchen, a flash of yellow smacked another window. He didn't notice and I thought it had been a large butterfly. I went outside to investigate and found the cutest

Sexy Nerd and I have been together since 2004, plenty of time to learn all the wacky traits that irk the other.  One of my pet peeves is that he is the kind of person who will go into the kitchen at lunchtime, make himself a sandwich, and eat it in front of you without the thought that you might also like a sandwich ever crossing his mind. I've nicely (and maybe occasionally ever-so-slightly less than nicely) tried to remind Sexy Nerd that this behavior borders on selfish cruel lazy being a huge, smelly jerk not very nice. He has slowly made improvements. At least, I thought he had been improving. Sexy Nerd announced that he would be smoking a chicken for dinner. He brined it and put it inside the smoker. For hours, our home was filled with the aroma of hickory. When it would be done smoking was a complete mystery (and the source of a funny  Sexy Nerd Quote Of The Day ).  I made us a pitcher of iced tea and imagined us enjoying our chicken out on the patio, listening to the
