Long break, huh? I know, I know, 11 days and counting. Big freaking deal. It's my blog, and I can do what I wanna. (snivel, snivel, whine). Don't you just love whiners??
North Carolina to weather control, North Carolina to weather control. Whassamatta you? This is North Carolina, not North Dakota! The weather services are calling for snow AGAIN! Like The Better Half is so fond of telling me, she moved from New York to get away from the white stuff. And like I keep telling her, it followed you down here; take it back. The kids love it, of course; they've had five snow days so far this school year. The last two were ice rather than snow, but hey, they weren't in school, so what's the difference?
ET: The difference, dip, is that you were home with them and they couldn't get outside.
So now the weather geeks are calling for more snow. Gag!
ET: You love it and you know it. Quityerbitchin.
Do you hear something? Nah, must be my imagination. Anyway, . . . where was I? I think my train of thought just derailed.
ET: (snicker, snicker)
I was going somewhere with this, but now I can't remember. Must be my CRS kicking in. Whatever. Anyway, two of the boys are home with ear infections, so in addition to the usual medications available (I swear, I could run a pharmacy out of the kitchen cabinet) we now have to remember antibiotics on top of everything else. It just gets funner and funner at the nut house, don't it?
ET: And here I thought I was the unstable one. This guy's losing it.
I just spent five minutes staring into space until someone walked by and asked me if I was okay. What do you say to a question like that? "No, I'm actually having an out of body experience; care to join me?" just won't cut it. Lawyers are not known for their sense of humor.
ET: Oh, I don't know. Most of them I've met are quite amusing.
I think it's time for more coffee. Coffee, yeah, that's the ticket! And maybe a candy bar, too. Or not. Let's just try coffee. Maybe a cigarette, too? Hey, why not?
ET: Because neither one is good for you, dummy! Hello! Brain to body, stop this jerk! Stop him, I say!
