Be warned, I have no interesting topic for today. I'm just feeling guilty about not blogging lately, so... you get what you get.
It feels like their should be some hidden meaning to that blog title, but it just is what it is. There is a cornbread-type cracker in the President's Choice 840g Cracker Collection Club Pack that I love. Isn't that a sweet deal, buy a box of mix crackers and get a sleeve of cookies too!
On another totally random note, I love the McDonald's boy's happy meal toys right now. I may have gone through the drive-through once this week ordering 2 of just that. They're selling 4 inch tall Justice League figurines that have a one button perk (like a light or chopping action) - my kids are in love and play with them all day everyday. It's been awesome to watch them getting along and playing TOGETHER.

ode
You'll think I'm crazy because I don't use a computer or professional to help me out. I must like to do things the hard way - by hand. When I realized the day had come, I was chomping at the bit, I could hardly get through making lunch I was so excited to start. Something about that newspaper-y smell of fresh paperwork. I'm so grateful that my Dad insisted I know how to do it. I've only not done it myself 3 years since starting in high-school. And 5 years I've done double duty with Trevor's too.
I love you! I love all your mathematical goodness - multiplying percentages makes my heart skip a beat. I love checking and rechecking each line, form and step. And when I finally seal up that envelope (I told you - I LIKE doing things the hard way!) the sense of satisfaction is overwhelming. If only it could last a little longer - one afternoon was not enough
Oh, Tax Season. Loving you is it's own reward.

a pic worthy post
Ever avoid journal writing and blog posting because too much has happened? And the idea of trying to sum it up is so tiring in itself that you never actually do it? What?!? That never happens!
January 31st I was in a little fender-bender. Actually, a more appropriate description would be "a fender-ripper-offer".

I'm totally fine, it happened in practically slow motion and it was totally the other persons fault (they were oncoming and did a 180 on the ice, hitting my rear bumper with their rear bumper as I tried to pull to the side of the road out of their way). All in all - fun times.
I can feel myself starting to lose steam in the telling of this, so....
Long story, short - our car still runs, but has been written off by insurance because the body damage out-values our poor little car. RIP Alero, you will be missed.

The most exhausting part of this whole story is trying to make myself care WHAT I replace my vehicle with. Because our insurance is actually NICE, they are delaying the removal of my write-off until we arrange for a new vehicle. Which we did this Tuesday.
I think I'll talk about it more in another post, I'm fading fast...
The new vehicle won't actually be in our possession for another couple days, but when we get it we will call our insurance to cut us our cheque and haul off our beloved. We will then take that cheque to the bank and get $40, because they valued our car at *just* enough to end up covering it's lien.
despite my poor story-telling abilities, this is actually quite good news...
So that's that. We've leaned pretty heavily on the kindness of the Cook family this last month. Thank you, you are the best!
Oh, and I cut my hair. Myself. And it looks awesome.
nope, no picture of this either. Say it with me.... "Lazy"!
