Cracked Glass

As I'm staring at my great little glass crackle beads, I'm reminded of the cracked windows in this house. Only 8 years old, it's surprising to me that 2 of our windows have randomly, without help from the children, cracked. They already let in lots of frigid air, so with cracks I'm just not feeling too warm about them right now. The manufacturer doesn't sound surprised by this and does nothing to fix them! So sad. Now about 6 of the windows in our morning room (which is ALL windows) are showing condensation between the panes. I wonder if this is considered normal too?

Super Bowl

Today my husband asked me if I was looking forward to the game tomorrow. Since we're going to hang out at my sister's, I said, "yeah." Then he asked if I knew who was playing. I said, "no," thinking that really wasn't important. Then I remembered something I saw when I went out to get sour cream (for onion dip I HAD to have). It was a pickup with unusual red markings on the windows that caught my eye. I thought I saw an anarchy sign, which I hadn't seen in years. Then I looked to the other window and saw the word GAINTS painted very clearly. I studied it for a minute, then began to laugh uncontrollably in my mini-van as I realized what that was SUPPOSED to spell. I was so curious who was driving the vehicle I waited as he got out-just to see what a guy looked like who is so proud of his team that he must write its name on his vehicle; wondering if he really wanted, supported, and was working for anarchy or just knew how to write the symbol, and finally; debated whether to let the lad know that he might want to check his spelling before painting his car. So after recalling all of this, I said to David, "I think the Gaints?"
