Where does the time go?

It seems like I have less and less time to write these entries. Having to actually work at work is killing me. I think I will have to do something about that.

Last week the E-bone met the same fate as the others. He stepped up his game only to get smacked back to reality. Next up is a rematch with mini Les. Hopefully I will fair a little better this time.

Last night on the way home the wife got pulled over for speeding. She got all bitter that Johnny Law was bothering us on our way home knowing that it was past the kids bedtime and they were tired. He must have felt sorry for us when he saw the million kids in the car or he liked our church bumper sticker. One way or another he let her go. Good thing we got her expired driver's license replaced on Friday as well as getting the expired inspection sticker replaced on Friday, because he looked at both. Whew.

That was truly a great day. She spent an hour and a half at the beautiful DMV with half of Mexico and obviously the 75% of the workforce that doesn't ever seem to work in my town. She had multiple conversations with the local weirdos. She kept calling me on the cell phone to complain but I acted like I had no reception from the parking lot. Eventually I got bored and ran over to get the truck inspected with all the kids in tow. Of course I wasn't done in time so she had to wait an extra half hour in DMV hell waiting for me. She was happy about that.

Probably the most horrific story of the weekend is about the Butcher of Bayonne. The wife got a great idea. She would cut my hair for me and save me a trip to town and $15. Never have I wished more that I spent $15 for a cut. It actually wasn't that bad except for the time when she is hacking away with the clippers. She has been going at it for a good twenty minutes and realizes that if you just run the clippers with the guard against the head that it cuts evenly. WOW. REALLY? That is the purpose of the guard!!!!!!! Well I don't have to bother with combing and primping in the mornings. So she saved me time AND money. Sweet.

I spent the savings on a knife. My kitchen blades were weak. Even though I had asked Hawkman for the name of a good blade, he let me down. So I sought help elsewhere and chose the Wusthof. It was a $95 blade but I found it at Bed, Bath and Beyond. I actually used one of the thousands of 20% off coupons they mail me.

Nosaj wants a rematch today. So maybe I can write tomorrow about losing at tennis. Nah, I doubt it.
