wait, i'm being overly dramatic again :) i need to quit doing that.
we dropped my nieces off at grandma's (oh, what fun!). decided that since we were in the neighborhood (about an hour away) we'd go ahead and see my brother in law, who just got out of the hospital, instead of going to get tires first. of course (he refers to his body as 'a roadmap of pain') that was great fun. on the way back from his house (this is where all the drunken parties occur, you know, with the bonfires, which really consist of burned old furniture, tv's children, you know, whatever they have thrown about the house and no longer have room for. you get the idea), the gravel caused our tire to pop, and mr kk had to put the donut tire on. in 1000 degree heat (i'm serious! it was exactly 1000 degrees outside! check the weather forecast in bute montana!). and of course, every person from that house happened to drive by, stopped, chatted on the side of the road, while mr kk removed his nice shirt and they cheered him on! my hero!
my duckie got a tattoo. he continues to pick at it, thinking it's a hot dog, stuck to his arm. i myself have made the same mistake as well, so i can't blame him.
we drove to about 13,000 (ok, maybe 6 or 7) different places, quoting prices for new tires, only to find our home town shop had the best price anyway. of course!
and the best part? i had thought we needed new tires only because of this road trip we're taking. unknown to me---- i'd been driving on bald tires! apparently everyone thinks it's better NOT to tell me anything because i stress out (WHAT? I STRESS OUT???? THAT'S RIDICULOUS!). and mr kk also explained that at least he got every penny out of that tire. geez, and i'm told i'm cheap (looking)! ha!
but, i had a sunburn yesterday that has already tanned over. and it looks fantastic! super-duperfantastic!!!!! and duckie had sunblock on, so he's got a wonderful tan, without any sings of burn.
so, we have new tires. wonderful tans. and a red car with a top that goes down. and we spent the rest of the evening watching tpb, drinking gin and tonic, and also relaxing to arrested developement.
we did find that you can buy huge bottles of GIN at sam's club for only $30!!!!! (though we may have our membership revoked after the stream of swear words coming out of our mouths after leaving that place.) that's somethign we're taking with us on our road trip. it should pass the time on the drive :)
and YOU jammer......i'm glad your apt went well. so very glad to hear that. i haven't checked the other board, so i'll take it upon myself to talk to you about it here. did you talk to her about how you were feeling? for the last few days? and her contradictions? if not, then you shoudl have (not pointing my finger at you doll, sorry if you take ti that way. also sorry about my typing. it stinks. tell me you sent a personal assistant so no one ever has to read my horrible typing again.)
i'm sooo glad things went well for you darling. and i hope this is building a good foundation for you and your therapist to establish trust. and don't hesitate to tell her 'hey woman BACK OFF!!!!' when she's pushing you too hard, or even when she's contradicting herself.
love ya sweetie (and you really are a sweetie, know it?)
kk
