Well, it's 6pm Sunday and I'm pissed off. Not just because it's been at least an hour since I've eaten, or that we're getting covered in freezing rain (well the street and cars are, we were smart enough to come inside. Well, not Ranger, but we made him).
No, it's because I can find a toy. And I'd be more specific, except I can't remember the name of said toy. It's the big, rubber ball attached with a cord that you hold on to and smack it. Like a big paddle ball thing, except your hand is the paddle. Everyone had one of these, right?
But now I can't find the name of it, or one online, or in a store. Dammit.
And yes, to add to my fury, I still can't find a good, heavy, dense pillow. I've spent the last few days shopping and squeezing a lot of pillows (much to Kristine's embarrassment), and still no luck. Ugh.
This of course comes after a series of disappointments. First, not enough information to complete my taxes. Then, while fixing the manufacturer's mistake on one shelf, I manage to lose a Dremmel bit in the shelf. Dammit.
But there was some good news this weekend. After spending Friday afternoon at a company that reminded me all too much of Conveyor Tech (well, without Satan actually being present), we did have a fun Vday evening. Ok, no details there.
And while Saturday was mostly a wash due to headache and sleep issues, we got to finally see My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Yes, we are behind the times. Yes, it was a good movie. But although all of you saw it last year when it was all the rage, you didn't get the 'extras' that we did.
Specifically, Neil Diamond. I don't know who we pissed off, but at the Raleighwood, they serve dinner and show stuff before the movies start. I swear, we sat and watched a Neil Diamond special that appeared to be an 80s or 90s show (dear God, I hope so). Why someone would have watched that then, I don't know. But to actually tape it and make us watch it now?
I got to hand it to Neil though. He knows marketing - the AARP has lots of spendable cash.
Hope your weekend was fruitful, but not full of fruit
(because frankly that would hurt),
