I've skipped and skimmed. I made a quick trip to Indiana at the last minute. A good friend of mine from high school who now lives in Jacksonville, FL was in our hometown for her grandfather's funeral. A sad occassion, but since she was staying at my twin sister's house, I opted to drive the kids over there so I could see her. It was nice to see her (It's been two years since I last saw her). And our kids are very close in age so they got to play with each other.

She was probably the only close girl friend I had in HS. She hasn't changed much and this visit made me really miss her.

After driving home, getting the kids in bed and unpacking, I get a call from my twin's fiance. She got beaned by a softball during a game and they had to call an ambulance to take her to the hospital. Probably a concussion. This will hopefully be funny when I find out she's going to be ok.

vw, in case you check here first thing in the morning before you check your email, insent. Also, which one is yours, so Dan knows where to look for the iTunes stuff?

And be-ok~ma for Cash's twin.

~ma for your sister, Cash.

Don't be vw. She sucks.

LIAR LIAR BRA ON FIRE.

(p.s. you're in bed, yes?)

Poor CashTwin!!

I had plans A little picking up . some meatloaf and potatos,a glass of wine. a little tivo or book.

about 7 I walk up to the door. I hear the cat meowing franticly. I unlokd the door I open the doorand hear that sound... water, water spraying everywhere. Not sure exactly what and how I got there - but I know it is coming from under the kitchen sink. so I can turn off the water and it stops...I call Matt who asks "are you upset or laughing?" since the silverware drawer is full of water - the answer is yes. I run over to the neighbors, who don't have a plumber - but they know someone that does, and he lives in the neighborhood. I call - he is just driving home. so he stops by. AH - an old pipe have given up - he has the parts, and in less time than it took to flood - I have a new pipe.

now for the carpet in the kitchen to dry. ( ps - our shop vac has a crack in the lid that makes it pretty useless for water)

Sadly, all I have had to eat so far is potato chips.

Sadly, the cat thinks this was a giant conspiracy to make his paws wet.

Happily, I now have a plumber. Who gives me a deal for living in the neighborhood.

ok ma~~ for the Twin , Cash . I skimed due to being water logged.

Cash, much ~ma to your sister. I hope we get to the "It's a funny story..." part soon.

Sadly, the cat thinks this was a giant conspiracy to make his paws wet.

YAY BETH! I'm glad the plumber got there.

Blech. Had an awful fight, and I'm all blotchy and need smokes.

There's this thing called guys night out, which I suppose is fine, but I don't quite get it. Now it's true that I hang with just my girlfriends sometimes, but if a boy wanted to tag along, I'd be okay with it. I might wonder why depending on the boy, but overall it would be cool. I guess I don't understand excluding people from festivities based on their bits.

Still like I said, not a huge deal- what became a huge deal was saying, "Why do you have to exclude people on a penis/no penis basis?" Things just went downhill from there. I was told it shouldn't hurt my feelings to not be included on the basis of my vagina, and I brought up his worst. fuckup. evah.

And even now, while I've calmed down enough that the whole thing is almost theoretical? Still sticks in my craw.

I've been thinking about the need to be away from your significant other, whether because you've been around each other too much lately or because you need to establish yourself as a whole other person again, and I suppose that could be justification for a "boys night out." But even then, wouldn't it just be easier to say, "I need to get away from youandme for a while, you could probably use the break too why don't you go grab that comic book/yarn/bath crap you've been eyeing and have yourself a night while I go out." Of course that would mean that you've been holding up your end of the relationship bargain, and not neglecting her feelings.

Ahem...

Anyway, it seems more adult and less boys will be boys than

BOYS RULE
NO GIRLZ ALOWED!!!
