Women and Tea

“A woman is like a tea bag – you never how strong she is until she gets into hot water.”

Could be (in the mind of a sicko):

A woman is like a tea bag – you never know how hot she is until you grab her.

OR

A woman is like a tea bag – you never know how fragile she is until she busts open and spills her guts out everywhere.

OR

A woman is like a tea bag – you never know how light she is until you try to push her under water.

This is getting too dark and ugly.

A woman is like a tea bag – you never know how dark she is until you let her sit and steep a while…..

12 Ways to Sort Barbies or "How I Lost My Sanity Living with All These Dolls"

If one were to sort 113 Barbies into two separate toy bins, what would be the most logical distinguishing characteristics by which to separate them? Because, of course, logic is of utmost importance when you're dealing with a pile of plastic and unruly hair. And, NO, throwing them all in the trash is NOT an option.

These are your options:

1. Blond vs. Brunette
2. Dark skinned vs. Light skinned (Segregation? Can we do that?)
3. Princess vs. Working Woman
4. Clothed vs. Naked
5. Plasticized underwear vs. Going commando
6. Those that change color when wet vs. Those that don't
7. Those that are water logged and shall forever remain "Bath Barbies" vs. Those that are not
8. Big Feet vs. Little Feet (yes, some Barbies do have giant Sasquatch feet. I think they are the more athletic ones. Next category please....)
9. Athletic vs. Fashionista
10. Made in Indonesia vs. Made in China
11. Those with Stars on their Bellies vs. Those with None upon Thars
    

and, last but not least, in my house:

12. Has all hands and limbs vs. Amputee
