There's Something Woman Like About a Pick Up Man...

THIS is James' rental while the hooptie gets repaired. It is big. Really big. So big that it won't fit in the garage with my minivan, & thank Gawd it has handles to pull my fat azz into the cab. It is really nice though, & if it weren't a V-8, I'd have him consider something like it when his lease is up in June...

What a Year...

And by year, I mean 12 month period.

It started in November with a new hot water heater to the tune of $1500. Then, a new part for the furnace...$300. Most recently, while reorganizing Eddie's closet, we discovered water damage that extended to the closet below Eddie's room. We're still reconstructing them. So far, $200-$300.

Finally, last week, James was sideswiped by another vehicle that slid on some ice. Now he has a banged up hooptie. Thank goodness the other driver has insurance.

What else can 2009 have in store for us. It's been a very expensive year so far...

Oh, & yesterday I spent the afternoon at a cheer competition. I tried to post the video, but was unsuccessful. Let me just say that I will never get those 5 hours back...

Define Irony...

So, James was listening to Paul Harvey the other day & heard this tidbit of news.

Now, anyone who knows me, knows I can be sarcastic (big shock), & James sometimes has difficulty picking up on if I'm being sarcastic or serious. Then, he wanted to tell me he may have dementia, but forgot. Isn't that a hoot? He FORGOT to tell me he may have dementia. I laughed out loud.

I'm no Dr. House, but I think it's an accurate diagnosis...
