Thoughts on the Day

  • Definition of irony – printing a 100+ page document on “Memory Fitness”, then forgetting to pick it up off the printer.
    • No, it wasn’t me.
  • If you’re going to put a bunch of bumper stickers on the back of your car that read such things as “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle” or “GRRRLLLLL!”, then you give up the right to stand at side of the road crying while you wait for your husband to come change your tire.
    • At least she was polite when she turned down my offer of assistance because her hubby was just a couple of minutes away.
  • Speaking of bumper stickers, I was tickled to see pro-2A bumper stickers on the back of the Prius that was being driven by a young guy with dreads this morning.
    • Yes, I’m stereotyping, and yes, it’s good to see that people aren’t monolithic political blobs.
  • Apparently my applesauce spice cake isn’t as good as my banana bread, since the piece that went to school with Boo came home with only one bite out of it.
    • If he wants me to make banana bread, he needs to stop eating the bananas before they turn brown.
    • Seriously, the lady at the grocery store probably thinks we’re running a primate rescue or something.
  • Welcome to the last two weeks of the school year, where the classwork doesn’t count, but the attendance does.

    My ex called one day last fall to let my son know that she’d be late to his swim meet because she had a flat and was waiting for AAA to come change it for her. We had some time so I offered to drop him off to help her change it, and she declined because she could change it herself if she really wanted to, but it was raining and she was being girlie. When I saw her later she told me that AAA had sent out a service truck driven by a woman to change her tire for her. I just laughed and laughed and laughed.

    I prefer to call it “Convenience Feminism”…
