The Sandy House / Peanut Butter beauty Mask / MSN Messenger Blast day...

Well the title says it all really. If you're one of those power readers, you can stop reading now if you like?

My day was fine. Thanks for asking. I had a nice day at work while Lynda had the following one ....

*** Sand is Fun ***

  • Lynda has the kids in the back yard while she's hanging some washing.
  • The kds go upstairs of their own accord.
  • Lynda thinks "Hmm. That's nice. I'll keep hanging washing"
  • Turns out they've each dragged a bucket of sand from their backyard sandpit into the house and proceeded to build little sand castle in EVERY room in the house. They particularly liked building sand castles on their beds from what I hear.
  • There were tears and lots of cleaning.
  • Everything's all cleaned up now. There's clean sheets on the beds. The floor's been vacuumed and the rugs no longer resemble a beach.
  • But as I walk around the house bare foot there's still that little bit of sand grit in everything.

*** Ben likes to MSN Blast ***

Simple story. This is the thoird time he's done it.

With his new l33t 4 year old computer haxt0r skills he's now going Start / Programs / MSN Messenger. He likes sending the little characters to my contacts. You know the kisses, the pig, the alien. All those annoying little things.

So I've had messeges left on my phone from our company lawyer "telling" me to stop sending mim this Sh*t. My colleagues in my office also keep getting messages from Ben.

He particularly likes sending people the little pig character.

What worries me though is that I have many Microsoft employees and other vendors as contacts in Messenger and I have absolutely no idea what Ben has sent to them and I don't want to ask.

Today's lesson.... If you are stupid enough to let your kids on your computer. Make sure your messenger is set to NOT remember your username and password.

*** Melanie Likes Peanut Butter ***

So we buy food in bulk. It's cheaper.
Now imagine your 6 year old smothered in the entire tub of this...

Enough said. So that was Lynda's day today. :-)
