That girl and my boy. Enough said. That would be a caffienated beverage. We are teaching that girl bad bad things.

it was an emergency

We had almost bought a big screen TV on Sunday. We had to go home from the first trip to grab the check book. You know, those pesky $500 limits on ATM withdraws. Apparently it also applies to a damn debit card, even though I would rather use that because I don't have to lift my hand to sign my name. We came back with a check and even went so far as to complete the damn transaction and they were out of stock. Thank god that was the case, because Karl got a call from his accountant and he owes money to the shady ass government. Things happen for a reason.

My sister came over with Natalie last night to go over car insurance rates. She applied for a bunch of jobs throughout the past couple of weeks and ended up with 2 of them. I am so happy for her.

smack some sense into her

My sister was (I say that with some hesitation) in an emotionally and physically abusive relationship. She finally realized that it probably was not the best situation to be in and decided to leave. I am so proud of her. Her daughter who is now about 7 months old is the cutest damn thing to crawl the planet. I spent some time with her and little Natalie last night and couldn't help but beam as I saw her smile at everything. As soon as I walked in the door, she started to stare at me. Whenever I stick my tongue out at her she smiles and makes all sorts of noises. I hope this is finally the point where things start to change so my sister can get her life back on track.

This past weekend the weather was amazing, it was 50 and sunny both Saturday and Sunday. It was a nice alternative to the frigid snowy weather. I got the speakers I wanted for the computer. They sound incredible. For $50 I got a 28-watt sound system that sounds better than my home theatre system. I can't get along at work without a stapler so I thought why not get one that is powered? So I did, after a lot of arm pulling I managed to get it. It is pretty neat. It will staple anywhere from 2 to 20 sheets like a hot knife through butter.

I know, the smallest things amuse me.
