Money isn’t what it used to be, no?

How is it Sunday already? I've done nothing to make the time fly by really. I woke up earlier than I need to on Saturday thanks to the little man. For the last several days, today included, he has woken me at exactly 7:30 aye emm... on the dot. Regardless of when he went to sleep, he is wide awake and making little wookie sounds at Daddy come 7:30. Clockwork. I decided, since I was up, to take the mare in for an oil and filter change. I dressed and roller her out onto the driveway. The battery was dead and I couldn't find my jumper cables. I hopped in the car and drive to purchase cables, came home, removed the bolts holding the seat on (to gain access to the battery terminals), and started the bike. By this time, there was little chance of getting in since it was first come, first serve at the dealer's service center. Unlike automotive shops, they do not take appointments/reservations. So it was out on the open road in search of lunch. I had Lebanese and it was fabulous. Saturday night I went to a dinner party at Sam's then came home and watched a Dane Cook HBO special. I was super tired and went to bed early for a Saturday night. This morning, after my 7:30 wake-up call, I took the bike out again. The sky was cloudy and the overcast made a breeze cool that would have otherwise been unseasonably warm for December. Ted and Miranda met me at BJ's for pizza. Ted and I headed to Fry's after lunch for some Christmas shopping. They didn't have most of the items I wanted to purchase, but they did have a lot of sales going on. Bad, bad, bad. The damage wasn't tooooo bad, but I did leave with nothing I went for, but more than I'd expected. Home now. I hadn't anticipated the warm day and the house is muggy. It is odd enabling the air conditioner and dehumidifier a mere week before Christmas, but such us Texas weather. I'm sleepy... still.

Same here… turned the a/c on this morning in anticipation of the almost 80 degree weather.  There’s only a handful of times I can remember having cold weather at Christmas here in Texas.

And you’re right about money… it’s like dust in the wind.  Poof… it’s gone.
