If I had superpowers, I would have used them today. When the worker from the water department came to check the meters or whatever, he kept spitting tobacco juice in my yard. I would have had him first choke on the juice, and then spit it all over his shirt.
This is why I don’t think I’ll ever be granted superpowers. :evileye:
I finally got off my duff and called someone to come out and give me an estimate on my car. Turns out I’m looking at just under $700. I don’t even know what my deductible is, but even if it’s only $500.00, I’m probably better off just paying cash and not turning it in. I’m actually relieved because I thought it would be at least double this amount. So I told the guy to go ahead and get the parts and then the best part happened: He said that as soon as they come in, he’ll come get the car and fix it. He’ll come get it! I don’t even have to leave the house. Awesome!
The drawback to this wonderful news? I am expected to be without car the rest of the week and this weekend, and will have to borrow one, thus, limiting my travel plans.
Much like most people love their children, my brother has an almost unnatural love for sports and sports teams; specifically Wake Forest, Ohio State, Denver Broncos, and the hometeam, WVU.
Wake, Ohio State, and WVU all lost their games yesterday in the first round of NCAA March Madness. I liken it to the Pushing Daisies situation, but imagine if ALL your favorite shows got canceled early…devastation, no?
I can’t even imagine what he’ll be like today. My guess is that he won’t get out of bed all day. He owns about three shirts that don’t feature one of the aforementioned teams, so I’m sure he won’t get dressed. I feel so badly for him, but at least now he can watch the rest of the games without the anxiety he always feels when one of his teams is playing. It’s no real consolation, but it’s something.
My Ashley is engaged! I just don’t even know where to begin here. It seems like yesterday we were obsessing over Anakin and Harry Potter and here she is, all grown up. Here’s to a lifetime of love come easy and happiness. :bubbly: :love:
My Ben is free! Free from the martyred whining and shortcomings of the less intelligent. May he find happiness with anyone, so long as it’s not in the form of a bitter, histrionics-prone, lunatic. :bubbly: :love:
