So I learned something new (or that I just forgot): the big fat check? I write it to me. Huh.
I think I'm not going to pack or do anything useful tonight.
Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, when I was in high school or so, I noticed that my mother had a Filene's charge card that said Mrs. [My Father's Name], which is so very not my mother, I don't even know. She told me that was all she could get at the time she opened the account, even though my father was in school and she was supporting both of them! I made her get a new card.

Somewhere, somewhen, they wouldn't put my mother on the bank account. So she just signed his name.
Back in the days when we had to deposit the paychecks manually, she always signed his name because he always forgot.
Dad's gotten more involved, but my mom is still the main household accountant.
My mother, the forger.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We just bought this: [link] Very excited! We have a fountain our realtor gave us as a house-warming present, but it has never worked right, runs on electricity, and we got tired of buying new pumps for it. This one and is solar and has a much smaller spray, so we are hoping it lasts. It's freaking hot here all summer and it's nice to offer the birdies a bath.

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

Freaky. It looks like something some Hollywood effects studio came up with.

Cool, Scrappy!
My parents have a fountain. Well, ok, it is the overflow drip for the swamp cooler, but they have it strung so that it flows into a birdbath fashioned from a bike rim and a frying pan. But you really can't tell what the components were in their previous lives.

Okay, I totally <3 your parents, sarameg.
Scrappy, that's a gorgeous fountain. I really want one, but I have to figure out how to deal with the wind & the lack of humidity.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Okay, I totally
... DESPERATELY NEED THAT? Yes.

I forge Hubby's signature 90% of the time. I had to take over the bills because he gets offended when people send us bills, and he thinks if he frowns at them hard enough that they'll apologize and slink away.

Hee. That too.
Also, I forget that less than three really means I have to put the less than tag in.
