As in, “I’m in the doghouse now!”

Thing is, she’s only sixteen months old (yesterday), and I can’t believe that she loves me so much, even when I mess up this badly.

You see, today is trash day. Last night, when I got home from church, I took the recycle bin out to the recycle barrel, and took both it and the trash barrel out to the curb.

They were picked up this morning, rather efficiently, I thought.

Now, I now why they were picked up so quickly.

You see, the recycle bin sits in the pantry. On the shelves above the bin are various and sundry foodstuffs. One particular item, a freezer zip-lock type baggie full of processed fruit-snacks, sits directly above the recycle bin, about two shelves up. (seasoned readers, and those who have good foreshadowing skills, can see where this is leading)

We went to the pantry this afternoon to get a fruit snack for the little girl. She pointed at the spot where the baggie should have been. I had a bit of a puzzled look on my face as I frantically searched the entire pantry, hoping beyond hope that, perhaps, it got placed on a different shelf.

No such luck.

As near as I can guess, the baggie landed in the recycle bin and I didn’t notice it.

(Dear City of Glendale:
Yes, I know that food does not belong in the recycle bin. It was an accident. Please forgive me, and don’t take away my recycle privileges. Please?)

She is not speaking to me at the moment. Hopefully, that will pass when I give her a piece of cheese instead.

Hey! It’s been a while since I put one of these out.

First, the addition of the “Bloggers Against an Obama Nation” blogroll – get on it while it’s hot!

Now, the rundown:
Old Soldier reports on the return of a hero, further down he let us know that his daughter has earned her Girl Scout Gold Award (that’s like the Boy Scouts’ Eagle level).

Richard spotted his 28th new bird – an egret! Quite a beautiful sight, too.

Over on Write on the Right Gunny John takes us along on a tour of historical spots on Okinawa.

The Loon takes a look back at this day in Naval History. Go Navy!

Texas Fred has the front line on the best write-in candidates – I was going to tell you, but why ruin the surprise?

The Political Pistachio has some keen observations on the economy – and I would listen to him, if I were you!

John over on Fire of Liberty points out the problem with the current crop of candidates – none of them read the conservative columnists – they probably don’t want to be infected with common sense, I say – and the solution to rising gas prices is increased domestic production.

Scott Welch discusses the difficulty of church planting on Our Sovereign Joy.

BZ discourses on the music industry and Bill Gates on Bloviating Zeppelin.

Bushwack on American and Proud asks about the veracity of a list of facts concerning Maricopa County’s Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Over in The Political Jungle Jenn discusses the May Day Amnesty and Protest Marches by Illegal Invaders. OK, her title is shorter than that.

Akinoluna has an update on her career move. Semper Fi!

Dave has a post about Hillary’s appearance on Bill O’Reilly’s segment on Fox news on Third Wave Dave. Pay particular attention to Dave’s mention of Conan’s line…

I will be hoping and praying that last week’s gremlins don’t decide to revisit.

I’ve been to the BTR site, and everything SEEMS to be working, we’ll see tomorrow morning at 0700 Arizona time (Mountain Standard, no DST).

(that means we’re the same as you Pacific Daylight Time people right now)

Join in the fun by clicking HERE. Call-in number is (347) 838-9573.

OK, bear with me while I get this figured out.

I’m using a new interface, on a new platform, and even a new domain – if that’s not enough craziness, I’m actually trying to design my own page!

Moving the blog over here turned out to be a lot less hassle than I thought – wordpress is the bomb-diggity for translating all the weird blogger stuff, like entries AND comments. (notice that not only are all the original posts still intact, so are all the comments. i even managed to combine the two blogs from there and place them here. if you are looking for The Wisconsin Cartters, look for the “pages” entries.)

The one thing that I must ask you to bear with me for is the overall look and the widgets and sidebar stuff. I’m still working on that. Things may appear and disappear, but bear with me. If you decide to leave a comment about a particular layout, please describe it the best you can in the comment, since by the time I notice I’ve got a comment that design will be so, like, five minutes ago.

Blessings on all of you, and hold on tight!

No linky-love today, sorry. Do be a dear and check out the blogrolls, though.

I’m Thinking of the “O” Word on BlogTalkRadio tomorrow morning – I’ll be discussing Arizona’s Proposition 100, Arizona’s leading anti-DUI efforts, some driving tips, and possibly equal time for the cats. – 0700 Pacific, 1000 Eastern. Call in number is (347) 838-9573. I dare you to call in.

I double dare you.

I better get going – TMBWitW’s benefits company wants proof that the dependents she is claiming are really hers – so I have to find the marriage license. Anyone seen it lately? I have no idea which file to check first…
