they had a sale last night...

maybe it is a continuing sale, but I only saw it last night.

they lure you in with the promise of something free, but by putting up those signs of special deals they catch the weak minded fools who are easily parted from their money...

they got me.

I went in for free ice cream.

I came out with a free scoop and two quarts of ice cream...

for seven dollars.

one-half of a gallon.

three dollars and fifty cents per quart.

if you think about it, that is not that bad for baskin robbins ice cream.

although, you can get half gallons at the grocery store for five bucks...

you cannot get jamocha almond fudge or a decent mint chocolate chip for that...

... ... ...

you know, it was not the seven dollars for the two quarts that was so bad...

what is bad is the fact that I finished my quart of jamocha almond fudge in one sitting...

(since I gave my sister the quart of mint chocolate chip - because you know she likes it - I only had the one quart)

and the fact that I am hoping the baskin robbins by my house has the same deal so I can get another two quarts...

"All behold, he ate the pig. Thus proving that he's a Ziggy Piggy, Ziggy Piggy, Ziggy Piggy."

it is impossible for me to understand...

I think it is because when I got used to one way, I have to get back into the habit of the other.

maybe, like a monkey, I am only doing what I see others doing...

except, they are not doing it (in my mind's eye) to the extreme in which I execute it.

I cannot play my ultimate excuse trump card any longer. The factor in which the excuse was concered has been eliminated. I must take responsibility for my own actions.

perhaps I need to allow the sun to enter into the room, or I should have a more prominent clock, or maybe I should just try to get more sleep...

but dammit, I only live 3 miles from work, so why can I not get there on time?

in regards to the check engine light, my mother said,

"You know, your sister had the same problem, and it was just a loose gas cap"

and I said, "I haven't touched my gas cap in a week. Plus it happened when I was halfway through my commute."

but, why did I not check? I thought I checked... but I did not.

because that is what it was... stupid loose gas cap.

stupid: Listen to your mother, it cost you $45.00 by not doing so.

blessed: It was only $45.00, so essentially two days of per diem and a sister that let me borrow her car while she was out of town, and it was not the $300.00+ I for which I was preparing.

dilemna: I have to go back to Midland tonight or tomorrow morning, and anna needs a ride from the airport... at one in the afternoon.

I would rather have these types of problems, than the bigger, heart heavy and wearisome problems any day.

Good decisions come from experience...
Unfortunately, experience comes from bad decisions...

so learn from other people's mistakes, because there is no way you will be able to make them all in your lifetime...
