Truth in advertising

Today I observed a bus that had a giant decal on the side that I think was advertising a retirement home. The whole bus was grey in color and had a gigantic picture of an elderly woman holding a rose... in her mouth.

To me this advertisement is not saying "Come to this retirement home for a good time", but more like- "Send your parents to the home where we dress them up and take advantage of their senility".

And now the fun begins

Money has exchanged hands. Contracts have been signed. The house has been thoroughly measured. We are in the first glorious stages of the remodel. The stage of ideas. The stage of concepts. Soon enough we will be in the midst of dust, plastic, and no roof... I am excited.

finally swimming

It has been a long three weeks. Our caseload at work has been huge... and I have worked long hours on my feet. Finn has been testing limits, and Jeremy was gone for nine days of it all. I am finally feeling like my head is a bit above water.

Do the math

I went to Old Navy this weekend to kill some time. I found a pair of Flip Flops on sale for $1.27. I made my way to the counter to purchase my find.

"Would you like to save 20% by opening an Old Navy account with us today?" the eager cashier asked.

"No thanks." I respond with a smile.

"Are you sure? Think of the huge savings on your purchase." He says with a straight face.

"No really I'm sure." I answer handing him my change. Seriously do you think I want to go thru the process of getting a credit card to save 20% of $1.27?

dear finn-

You are lucky you are so cute, because this getting up early on the weekend thing could be a deal breaker otherwise.

Humor to a hospital operator is...

Directing calls for various clinics to the Autopsy number. I have to admit, reactions on the other end of the line can be funny when I answer the phone, "Autopsy".
