Today is just not being cooperative, is it?

There's a massive case of the stupids here. It took me 15 minutes to get out of my parking lot. They're resurfacing select areas, with no seeming plan. There was a huge pile of asphalt behind my car. Not behind the empty spaces all around me. Ihad to get them to move that. Then I try to use the main exit, and they've blocked it with equipment idling and hot resurfaced road. So there are all these cars trying to turn around in a very limited space. And of course people are dithering and blocking more cars. I manage to escape and head out through the Home Despot parking lot. Where two tractor trailers ahead of me are attempting to turn left into traffic (not very possible on this road during rush hour.) I pull a u-turn and go to another exit. Where the cop in front of me at the light decides he wants to stay in the parking lot instead of exiting, and so pulls a 11 point turn, ignoring all the cars behind him. There were a lot more stupid tricks, but those were after the parking lot mess.

And I just discovered my main backup booked vacation the same week I had.

Kill me now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My documentary watching yesterday was Private Dicks: Men Exposed. I am more prudish than I thought, and more prudish that I want to be. But I suspect once I've finished watching this (I'm 1/2way through) I'll be a fair bit more inured to the dangling male member.

Happy birthday, Poopy!

The first birthday boy is home today with an extensive rash and a fever (and I am going home to stay with him in 20 minutes).

My sister had massive chicken pox on her first b-day. It was also on easter, so my mom made a bunny cake with fluffy white icing - dotted all over with cinnamon red hots.

Our wings are not tired.

Happy Birthday, little poopy one! May the day improve, quickly.

I feel like I should not be as entertained by the explosive buttbomb projective poopery as I am.

Children are amazingly explosive.

I remember at least one instance of projectile vomiting as a child. Good times.

Trust my rage

branda, that cake story is so cute. My mom always made me bunny cakes for my birthday - she kept it up at my request untilI was probably about 25.

Happy birthday, Dillo!

Nice job on the atomic shit, but please get better.

Punishingly Intricate

Weather report: Everyone is pretty sure there was a small tornado in my neighborhood yesterday afternoon. Trees and tree limbs are down everywhere and a roof was blown off a restaurant. And power was out for a while for a bunch of the neighborhood. Craziness!
