Valentines Levity

Ha ha. I hate this friggin holiday.

Just spent the day in town with my wife and daughter. Daughter fell asleep while crossing town so wife asked to stop by Hobby Lobby to get something quick while she was asleep. I was all too happy in the pickup with her being it should get my wife speed up her shopping.

20 minutes in daughter wakes up. 20 minutes more we are wondering where we are going to eat and 20 minutes after that we go into Hobby Lobby to 'find mom'. We find her and she apparently totally forgot she came to town with us and that she had been in the store for over an hour.

I hate this holiday and I hate going to town with my wife. Now I really hate both when the happen at once.

BTW now I am home with an upset daughter that is in tears because her talking doll that eats and poops is plugged up and now it just eats and pukes.

Oh yea. I also spent $1500 on a new washer and dryer set this week, Valentines day present of course, so I had this odd idea that might be I owed a bit of courtesy for a week or two.

End rant. (For now.)

Washer and dryer for Valentines Day??? Ha! you old romantic....$1500?? Man they saw you comin'...(even if I paid that much I wouldn't admit it)

Have you priced out washers and dryers lately? Anything decent costs at least $700 each. Besides these came with a 10 year warranty.

Rant?

More like whine.

Cry us a river for your self inflicted, perceived injustices.

You married the one and made the other, so sounds like you are just harvesting the fruits of your labors. (And your wife's labors in the second case)

Wifes daughter not mine. I didn't meet her in person until she was four.

I can usually fix anything but for some reason talking eating pooping dolls creep me out something fierce and I just don't want to touch this one.

Simple. Put the doll in the fire and tell the poor child she ran away and got eaten by wolves and her mother will buy her another one.

I will toss it on the fire when I burn all the unused shoes laying around the house. If you think my tire fires are something wait until I light up the shoe collection!

Honestly between the two they have at least 40 pair. I have 5 total. Summer boots, winter boots, work boots, mud boots and going to town shoes and I only have the work boots because work paid for them and the going to town shoes because I'm not allowed to wear the others with my dress pants. By dress pants I mean my clean black jeans that don't have permanent stains or holes in them.

We all sympathise really...but to let a woman into a shop and expect her to come out of her own free will is a tad naive.

For V day. I cooked a nice king prawn stirfry and mrs Cat made a big strawberry and cream sponge cake. I think I got of light
