Islands In The Cheese

When I was in high school, Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton's "Islands In The Stream" was a huge hit on the radio.  After school, and on weekends, I worked as a cashier at a local grocery store and the radio played over the address system in the store.  Each time "Islands In The Stream" played (and it was a lot), I would groan quietly and roll my eyes.  One of the "older" lady (she was probably 30 which would have seemed ancient to my 17 year old self), full-time cashiers, I think her name was Pam, would chastise me and tell me that I just didn't understand the depth of the song and when I was older, I'd appreciate it more.  Almost 30 year later, I still don't think that there was much substance to the song but my appreciation for well-aged cheese has grown over time.  I'm still not a fan of the original but some cover versions of the song just make me smile.  Including this one, enjoy!

cheesey friday

For some reason, I can't get this fotc line out of my head: "will someone please remove these cutleries from my knees"

Everytime we watch their HBO show, or anything else with them in it, Mark and I find ourselves in tears because we are laughing so hard. I love when that happens!

Mark is working a half day today. He worked until noon and then was taking the cab for a wash and then an oil change. The plan is for him to be home in an hour or so. While he's been working, I've been puttering around the house. I got the laundry done yesterday and today I've been doing some dusting. I'm a little disgusted by how much dust has accumulated in the house. I have a pretty high dust threshold too, it has to be pretty bad for it to really bother me. The stirring up of the dust is making me sneeze a tonne too.

Our plan for the weekend is to do very little. The weather is supposed to be gorgeous, just like last weekend, so I'm thinking we'll be out on the deck or in the pool a lot. Speaking of that, I think I'm going to head outside right now.

I'll leave you with a little cheesey Friday fun:
