I'm with whoever said (Jackie?) that the problem w/ laundry is the folding.  9 times out of 10 I do laundry and it sits in the basket in my room for a week or so and I just pull clothes out of it as I want them.  I try to pull dress shirts out and drape them over the hook on the back of the closet so they don't wrinkle, but I'm horrible about putting stuff away right away, and I only do laundry for myself 

Good vibes all around!

 I've gone so far as to dump the laundry on the bed recently, thinking that this would definitely get uncomfortable, and I would fold it rather than sleep on it. I think it goes without saying that I slept on top of laundry (for two nights). Last night the laundry left in the basket ended up on the floor. My room needs to be cleaned up so badly. Oh well, maybe at the end of the semester. I don't own anything that really needs to get ironed because I am such a laundry bum. I don't even know how to do ironing to be honest. 

My stupid check engine light came on. I have no clue why, and I really don't have time to go get it checked until maybe Monday. It's not flashing, so I guess that means it's not going to explode or anything.

In my truck the light would flash at first and then become constant if I ignored it.  I usually ignored it for a week or so b/c it was always just the indication that I needed an oil change and it was programmed to come on every 5000 miles.  BTW, if it is that, it should tell you in your owners manual how to reset it.

Before you do anything else, go check to make sure your gas tank cap is on properly.  For some bizarre reason, the two are linked and if the cap isn't on right, the *check engine* light comes on. I got suckered in by this a year ago and dashed over to the dealer thinking my car was about to explode, had a $110 diagnostic and then was told my gas cap wasn't on tightly.  Then, they told me it was a really common problem and that really pi$$ed me off.  If it's all that common, why didn't they check that first??

It's really overcast and cool today ... looks like it might rain a bit.  Hard to believe that it's supposed to be 90 on Sunday.

I was watching the news last night and apparently some *big wig* at BP was griping about how he "wants to get back to his life."  Hello??  How about all the people whose lives are being destroyed by this right now?  I'm sure that crack raised BP a few points in everyone's opinion.  Not.

Paige, I don't need help in these areas, but do you know how to paint?  Put up siding?  How about floor tile? 

 Painting is one of those things I detest about house repairs, and I don't know about siding.  Although I know about floor tile, I don't have the experience to charge anyone for my skills.  Now, if you need drywall, I can help.  Wiring outlets, a little. 

Just when I felt like giving up on my positive attitude regarding this job crap, I read my horoscope: "Lucky breaks could dramatically improve your career prospects."  Meanwhile, I bought a powerball ticket yesterday.  I haven't done that in yeeeaaars. 

 4:10. 50 mins to go.

 If you leave a can of seltzer in your car in 90*+ heat and then drink some - it is NOT refreshing

I know you're thinking why would I even attempt this - well I was very thirsty.  Very very thirsty and hot

but not as hot as the seltzer 

BTW Ginger Bugsy did NOT fix the plumbing - useless dog!

And if you leave your treat pouch in the car, expect the dog to recognize spoiled hotdogs/meat the instant you open the car door, let alone the treat pouch.  mmmm, yummy.

My size Medium bathing suit top does not provide enough coverage for regular use (I only use it for sun bathing to get minimal tan lines, so it works for me).  But, who is the size medium for, anyway?  An A cup?  If so, then who's using the size Small and XSmall??  Tsk, tsk, Target bathing suit design buyers...

Summer strawberries..... YUM!

Oddly enough, I could use help with that stuff, too.

Yes, I'm in over my head.  There were things I didn't realize (first house I bought on my own, last time was with a husband).  Then DS broke some things (bi-polar disorder/alcohol/extreme rage).  Ex-bf promised help, started several things, but never finished.  Okay, fine.  I contracted a few things, but now am out of enough moolah to do that.  On the up side, I am going to an Interior Painting workshop at Home Depot next weekend.

Karen, I hate to tell you this, but Paige's rotten hotdogs beats your warm seltzer water, hands down.

Excellent point and I can't figure it out either. Maybe pre-teems? Definitely not adult women. I find that with a lot of their shorts, capris and pants too. I need to go up about 2 sizes to wear their stuff and we all know how much women love buying a size or 2 larger than they have too.

I went to Big Lots at lunch thinking it'd help my stress level to get out. Ha!! I got in the first checkout line and the cashier was asking the customer her name. Woman says "Susan" - cashier asks how do you spell that and then mistyped it about 6 times. Then asked for the last name "Jones" and again the cashier asked how to spell it. I decided to go to the other line only to find that someone was trying to buy a step ladder with no price on it. The cashier agonized over how to ring it up for a good 5 min's and then decided to go to the back of the store to get a price. OMG - I thought I was going to go postal. So much for destressing...

I'll take a bloody mary too but go heavy on the vodka and I love those marinated green beans, so I'll take the ones the others don't want. That way I can call it a healthy drink, right?

Here's your green beans and now you can drink that with zero guilt! lol   Speaking of retail checkers.  I heard a girl call in to the radio this morning and she said she was a checker at Wally World and she hates her job, hates the stupid customers and dreads going to work.  I'm thinking "yeah, I've been in you're line before and I wish you would give that job to someone who appreciates having one".   The dumb DJ then reinforced her crummy attitude by giving her a "gift package".  

And on the subject of women's clothing sizes and shoes too, I read an article years ago that marketing people for the higher end products figured this out years ago and you will always wear a smaller size in a higher priced store.  I've found it to be true on the rare occasion I shop at somewhere other than Kohls. lol

Charles needs pass gas vibes.  He can't have anything other than a few chips of ice every few hours until he farts. lol    He said he would kill me if I asked for fart vibes, so naturally I'm here sharing all his bodily function secrets.

LMAO Jackie - I went thru the same thing last year after my surgery. I remember finally going into the bathroom and coming back out with a huge smile on my face and DH knew exactly why. Then my stomach/bowels really started rumbling and I had to tell him to go home. :)

I'm sending my strongest pass gas vibes to Charles.

totally agree - no contest LOL

Trying to thinkg of what I've left in the car to beat a rotten hotdog. How about this... left a bag of eggplant parm in the truck. Parked said truck after dog sledding season ended and didn't drive it for a couple of months. Then took the truck on a ride with Oly... who opened and ate the two month old, heated/cooled/heated/cooled parm

 Graduation night tonight at school! Busy weekend coming up. Putting in the garden if it doesn't rain, training new raft guides, putting the finishing touches on my second website, and cleaning up the house to get certified as a foster care provider.

LMAO, doesnt Charles know as IDog buddies we share everything????LOL

Amanda how was the meeting?  I would have given anything to be a fly on the wall when that guy met the 2x4!

Oh yeah, I forgot Bugsy must not have wanted to be fined by the Union,

Good "fart" vibes coming for Charles.  And don't worry, Jackie.  I'll never tell that you asked for that.
