Stop cleaning, or drinking coffee?
I once had a hearing in juvenile court where the mother testified that she would use meth so she could get the vacuuming done. Judge Dull (who was perhaps ironically named) said in a booming voice "Ma'am, you are the most pathetic excuse for a parent that I have ever seen!"
 
I am trying to offer myself incentives to fight winter sloth. If I get enough home chores done, mostly cleaning up, organizing etc, I am thinking of rewarding myself with a spring baseball trip to Tampa next week.

Got the dining room "mostly" cleaned and installed a dimmer in the remodeled bath. First dimmer try had the standard voltage LED lights buzzing like mad hornets. Had to order a pretty spendy low voltage dimmer. LED lights are kinda frustrating to me. Have to buy new dimmers and then buy even more spendier special dimmers because of the buzzing. And they don't last even a fraction of the time they are supposed to. And don't even try to go back and match a bulb from a few years ago. They don't make it any longer and finding a comparable current one to match a set for lumens and color, well, you cannot.
 
So, my sister's boyfriend got a DUI a little over a month ago now. They were already strapped for cash so he had to sell off his ATV and old Mustang.
She texted my gf last night about advice on getting a puppy of going on a vacay. Long story short, my sister and her boyfriend are getting a puppy today.

To summarize, my sister is a ******* idiot.

Turns out she got a Husky. She is a bigger idiot than I thought.
 
Went to middle school/high school band concert tonight. Middle school sounded ROUGH the1st 2 songs got it together for the last 2. High School sounded really good start to finish.

A kid in band finishing his eagle scout award building a trophy case for the music dept it is in the auditorium lobby looks nice. It's good they finally have a place to display stuff they have a good music dept.

I figured out too late that my parents are staying an hour from Jupiter where the Cardinals do spring training. Should have sent the oldest down to stay with them during spring break. She wants to do the whole spring training/spring game experience hoping that it would be her one chance to get up close and pics/autographwith her favorite player.

Throw her on Greyhound she'll make it in 18hrs or so. It will make for an interesting story for her to tell her friends when she gets back ;). Hopefully G&G will bring her back:D:p.

Actually it would be 55 hrs to get there:eek:. Kind of pricey also about $170.

That's $3.10 an hour. A real bargain
 
We DID get to fortunately introduce them to Crustos last time we were in Mason City, and they were a HUGE hit. Neither one would touch the tacos, though, which makes me wonder if we brought the correct babies home.



I'm most like whomever drives like a bat out of hell!
My wife too! So is this just a woman thing? I've just about got a hole worn through the passenger side floor boards, stepping on a brake that's not there!

@Mr Janny knows not to make me drive. Because if he does make me drive and then he complains, I just curb check even more and drive faster.

I cleaned dusted washed for an hour. Drinking coffee and looking for excuses to stop.

I was thinking that maybe I'd get a maid
Find a place nearby for her to stay
Just someone to keep my house clean
Fix my meals and go away
Neil knew what he was talking about.
