"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I do possess some measure of that skill, but not enough to remove a car that entered the ditch backwards and sideways and ended up with a snapped fence post jammed into the wheel well above the rear axle.

Yeah, that'll do it. Damn, that sucks. The last time something like that happened to one of mine, we were able to lift the car because it was a Ford Festiva.

And I wanted to clarify that I was laughing bitterly at myself and not at you, since I envy that you had a safe driving record until now. Between the weather and the deer, mine didn't last long.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Matt, I'm sorry. That sucks.

So, what are people doing this weekend?

Working tonight, then bar. Tomorrow, taking a run (maybe), and drinking and watching movies (or re-watching Supernatural). Sunday, SUPER BOWL!! and then fetching the car for my ROAD TRIP THAT BEGINS ON MONDAY. WOOT!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I totally get that, Sarameg! I feel the same. Next weekend we have a garage organization planned. This weekend we are driving up to San Luis Obispo to visit the In-Laws. We bring our dog and stay with J's sister and her husband (who are the BEST peeps to hang out with!) in their gorgeous house with windows that look out on their horses and a donkey. J's parents live across the street, so we can see a lot of them without actually staying with them, which saves both our sanity.

I might go climbing tonight, and maybe go out to Pt. Reyes for whale-watching on Sunday.

Puppy bowl! I almost forgot.

Jeez, Matt, I'm glad that the damage was limited to the car and not your person.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ugh.

I just had calamari linguine for lunch. The worst thing about the place I went to is the huge portions. Because of the way I was raised, I feel too guilty to not finish my lunch, so now I feel like my tummy is about to explode and spray squid-bits all over....

Care for a wafer-thin mint?

Are you sure it's wafer-thin?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG. While I was sitting here eating (baked!) Cheetos, someone walked over and gave me a chocolate. Snack attack!
