It's Me Again

I'm sure everyone has been on pins and needles waiting for my return. Oh wait, no one reads this blog. Well, for the other voices in my head, it's been awhile since I last wrote. What amazing, dynamic, and thrilling events have kept me away you ask? Well, there was this whole debacle. Good times.

Then there's the family. I know that everyone has at least one crazy person in their family. My family seems to have an overabundance of them. All craving drama and all demanding attention. It makes for interesting birthday and holiday get togethers. I'm going to start wearing a striped referee shirt. It'll save time.

Then there's work. While I like being in demand, it makes for good job security, I don't really dig people arguing over where I should be and who I should be helping and who I shouldn't. For awhile there it was nice to be good and busy. Makes the days go by faster. But if it's so crazy I'm ready to tear my hair out, I have to draw the line. I lose enough hair on a daily basis without helping it along. I'm waiting to find a bald spot one morning. Trust me, it's going to happen. You should see my bathroom floor.

Back to the first item. So I recovered from my car buying experience pretty well. I am now the proud owner of a bus-sized SUV. Okay, maybe not that big. I didn't super-size it after all, but it is considerably bigger than the ol' green monster (aka, kid-toting minivan). So now I pilot the Family Truckster, happy in the knowledge that I will have to live on Top Ramen and PB&J for the next five years to pay for my newly acquired financial burden.

Having never owned a brand-new vehicle before, I was slightly traumatized when the odometer went over 100 miles. That only took like 3 days. Yep. I'm inching closer to that 1000 mile mark, and then it's all downhill from there.

Love that new car smell at life.sa.laugh@hotmail.com.
