Seeing a successful payroll (defined as “no one died in the making of this paycheck run”) is like the relief a mother feels when her incredibly stupid child is accepted to college.

Isn’t it Funny?
1) Gene just bought some Infiniti gear (shirts, organizer, etc) and some of it arrived Friday. Ha. 2) I always said I’d never own an SUV. (If you need proof, check my archives). I’m going to spend this evening coming up with a new word for the Murano. It’s not an SUV, it’s not a…
A Tale of Two Cars…
On the left, the ‘Fini. On the right…the Nissan Murano I just finished buying. Yeah, I know. I walked into the dealership and told them…I TOLD THEM…it was not the day to buy because we wanted to wait and get Gene taken care of, THEN take on car payment #2, but son of a gun…
A Bad Fucking Day…
Sooo… Worked til Noon. Came home. Boy and Gene were gone. They came home after 1. We debated where to eat for lunch, deciding on the fern bar across the street from the house. We considered Steak n’ Shake, but I decided it was too far away to drive (about 25 minutes – it’s where…

Woke up at some ridiculously early hour to the sounds of Gene singing, alternately, the theme to the Dukes of Hazzard and some song called I Don’t Think Hank Done It This Way. Yeargh. On the way to breakfast, we passed a small gray dog guarding a larger black dog. They both had been hit…
Ugh…
I can’t believe I actually enjoyed War of the Worlds. Ugh. I can’t believe my hard earned cash is going to the freaky clutches of TomKat and, likely, $cientology. Ugh. One funny thing: the previews screwed up before the movie, and we ended up with the slide show that comes before the previews again. Gene…
Catching up…
The boy and Gene showed up around dinnertime on Thursday. Hooray!! Good news: No surgery on the boy’s knees next week. Bad news: Possible hip surgery on the boy’s hips sometime in the future. Ugh. The recovery period is 6 weeks on crutches. What a mess. He’s going for a second (third?) opinion as soon as…
Oh my!
I heard this on the way to work this morning. Luckily, you can read it online because it is DAMN FUNNY.
