I won a set of Rubbermaid containers and I am so pleased! Sweety was saying this weekend that he would cook up a bunch of healthy food at once and then we would put it in single serve portions in the deep freezer to make it easier for me to stick to my diet. He wanted to go buy containers but I told him to wait because I was keeping my fingers crossed to see if I’d win these and I did! Wootie woot! I’m not sure if you can put these containers in the freezer but I’m still tickled. I don’t have hardly any storage containers. Generally we put leftovers in a cereal bowl and cover it with foil.
Tonight after work I go to the grocery store. I leave the store and get in my car. I realize that I can’t find my keys in my purse. I spend 10 minutes frantically digging through my purse to no avail. I’m getting ready to go back in the store to see if I dropped them in there when it occurs to me that I AM SITTING IN MY CAR. How did I get in the car if I left my keys in the store? My key was in the ignition already. D’oh!
We’ve decided to drive to Oklahoma this year when we go on vacation. The plan is that I will drive the boys and my niece back and Sweety will fly up. We should get to where his plane will come in at on the same day that he arrives. Since we’re driving, guess who gets to come too? Tiny Dog! I will get to sleep with her for 2 weeks! I am so excited. I haven’t told her yet because I don’t want her to tell Stinky Dog. I’m going to tell Stinky that Tiny has been a bad dog and is going to rehab for a couple of weeks.

And really, if either of your dogs needs rehab, it’s Tiny dog, so Stinky will TOTALLY believe this.

I’m going to start leaving empty beer bottles in Tiny’s cage to help with my story.

The containers can go in the freezer, the dishwasher, and the microwave, they are seriously awesome, you will love them.

I am so excited to get them! I’ve always wanted a good set of containers but have never had any.

Yay for canine companions on road trips!!!
And seriously, I’ve probably lost more storage stuff than most people own in a lifetime. The lids? They disappear. Then I get rid of the bowl, and then the lid reappears. It’s crazy.
Rehab for Tiny. What a brilliant idea!

It will be soooo nice to have Tiny as my road companion. She’s a good traveling buddy.
Oh yeah, I’ve bought a few containers and the lids and bowls get separated but mysteriously reunite months later.
I think I saw Tiny licking a Xanax the other night. We might have an intervention soon.

You crack me up, that is something I would do (okay, have done).
Congrats on winning the rubbermaid containers. I have a set and love them and yes you should be able to freeze them!
Lucky Tinydog – I hope Stinky doesn’t miss her too much!

I literally slapped my forehead when I realized where the damn key was.
We are rubbermaid sisters!
I don’t think Stinky will miss Tiny at all. She pretty much ignores her. It’s Tiny that has some major attachment issues to Stinky.

At first, I thought you might have finally won the “maid service.” But Rubbermaid is equally nice. I can’t believe you are going to lie to Stinky. He could “sniff” Tiny out at a rehab if he wanted to, you know?

Eh, fuck the maid service. No sour grapes here, ahem.
As soon as I get the containers, I will go grocery shopping so I can stick things in them!
I truly think that Stinky will enjoy the break from having Tiny constantly licking her eyeballs and stealing her bed.

Poor Stinky, getting bent over by his own mom.

I’m not bending Stinky over! She will have the frequent company of a NeighborGirl and lots of good treats. It will be like a vacation for her. I hope.

okay…what is a wotie woot? Is that like a wootie-who or a chickie-chee? And who is shitweasel. I was keeping up on all the COAEW and other’s but they must have slipped in somewhere. LOL

Wootie woot! is what I say when I’m excited. I’m not familiar with wootie-whos or chickie-chees.
Shitweasel is a higher-up at work. He is a tiny little man and his voice makes me want to gag. I hid so I wouldn’t have to say hello to him.

Other than the gender and the distance, I would think shitweasel is at my job too!!! God how I hate that voice…makes me just tense up hearing it down the hallway. Maybe there is some shitweasel clone factory somewhere. Now that’s a nightmare.
Wootie-who and chickie-chee is from an old Andy Griffith show where Barney and Gomer try to set up secret communication signals to show they are ready on a stake out (if I remember right, it had to deal with someone in the early 60’s growing dope…)
Wootie-who!! Chickie-Chee!! LOL

I have a feeling that I’ll be chanting “Chickie-Chee” to myself to get to sleep. Things get stuck in my head sometimes.

I just went and checked out the Rubbermaid set you won (hoping it was a rubber maid’s outfit, but I was only briefly disappointed). What a great prize, now I have container envy.

LOL sorry for the “rubber maid” letdown.
There is no shame in your container envy. I’d have it too.

You can put most modern refrigerator/microwave safe plastic containers in the freezer. So you should have no problem saving health food for you to eat. Since you are driving, why aren’t you taking Stinky Dog with you too? She’s not that big. If she gets mad at being left behind, she might decide to leave you a gift somewhere in the house.

Stinky’s too big to take along with all of the kids on our way there. I am going to pay someone a pretty penny to come over and hang out with Stinky so she should have no reason to leave any “gifts”. And if she does, well, someone else will clean them up before I get home.
She doesn’t get the run of the house while we’re gone but Neighborgirl will come over every few hours to let her out of our bedroom/bathroom and watch t.v. with her.

I laughed at your keys/car story. I have done such as that!
