Do you remember those commercials? This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs. And the egg frying in the pan? I did not understand these commercials as a kid, but I used to love saying that phrase at random times throughout my early “tween” years. Anyway, I think of this because South Carolina had their primary election – and NEWT GINGRICH won it. So, obviously South Carolina is the egg in the frying pan. Just saying.
In other news, my best friend and I INSTALLED A DOOR YESTERDAY. By ourselves. We felt bad ass, and pretty awesome. We took down my bathroom door and put in the new one. Crowbars, rusty boxcutter, ghetto hammer and all.
Crow bar!! I took out the inside frame, she took out the outside frame. And then we high-fived. We are still girls – despite our manly tendencies.
The new door! Believe me, it’s beautiful and far more exciting because we did it ourselves!
Let’s see, I learned a lesson about race from an eight year old I work with. Yup. He separated all of my dolls that live in the doll house in my office into three categories- White, Black, Asian. Then he proceeded to bring all the “Asian” dolls to my desk and told me they were living in Asia, stealing our jobs because they are smarter than us. The Black dolls went all together into a small plastic tub because “they are poor, and used to be slaves” and the White dolls went into the house and were lined up watching TV. All 10 of them. Glad to see racial politics are alive and well in Maine (sarcasm intended).

Hey! Thank for popping by my blog. I loved your little snippets! Congrats on the door installation. That IS very bad a$$!
nice door 🙂 Thumbs up for construction-tool-wielding girls!
Good for you!!!!! I'm impressed with myself if I re-light the pilot on the hot water heater 🙂 Gurrrrl power!!!
First a triathalon and now installing a door. You ARE a bad ass!
Rippd out and hung a new door. How awesome is that?! Loved the results of the doll exercise!
LOL yep I remember that commercial. I was old enough to understand it and it worked on me!! LOL (I must have been the target audience?)
It's amazing what children take on board just from listening and paying attention to what's going on around them, isn't it?
Oh yeah, definitely remember those commercials!
Great job on the door! Very impressive!
I'm shocked about the little boy, but I guess I shouldn't be, sadly.
That is pretty badass about the door. i'm impressed 🙂 also, the kid – can i say how much i love play therapy? learn so much about kids by just letting them do their thing…
Nice work on the door! I love doing things like that. Instant, and long lasting gratification.
Sweet door hanging!! Crazy what the 8-yr old did, not shocking unfortunately. Love the snippet style of the post. Have to check out more:-).

As much as I'm not a fan of DYI work, my husband makes me work at it and it does feel better when you do it yourself!
