A few things:

[slipjig3]

1) Mom and Grandma arrived in town safely this afternoon, and all is well. It took Mom all of 45 minutes to tell me that I need a haircut.

2) We figured out what happened to the birthday present for Abbey that Dad shipped: UPS lately has been extremely lazy, and has been leaving packages outside the garage instead of making the 20 yard hike to the front porch. Dad's package got delivered on Monday. Monday also happens to be Garbage Day. You do the math. Suffice it to say, we are rather ticked off with the United Parcel Service right now.

3) Me: It's like the old saying: "Sex is like pizza. When it's good, it's great. When it's bad, it's still pretty good."
rafaela: I dunno. I've had some really bad pizza.

4) I'm not using the "Q" word. No, sir.

1. Ha! Moms are weird. My mom always urges the opposite of whatever i do with my hair. If i let it grow, she tells me "You should get it trimmed; I liked it when you got that last haircut." If i plan to cut it, she says "Noooo, i like it this length!" Bizarre.

2. Make them replace it! Or get them to chop off a finger from the offending delivery person. Grrrrr, this makes me mad!!

3. That's an OLD saying? It's from Seinfeld, isn't it? Anyway, in my experience, some bad sex is just plain bad.

4. Quotient? Q-tip? Quota? Quibble? Quixotic? Quit?

1) Unfortunately, Mom is but one of a long chain of people who have been urging a haircut over the last several weeks. I do need one, or at least a trim, but I'm about as lazy as the local UPS guy.

2) Actually, it was even worse: the box also included a check for Abbey's college fund. Dad was not pleased.

3) Older than that: I first heard it when I was 17 or so, which was...umm...*cough* 15 years ago *coughCOUGH*...

4) The fifth one. Ain't using it. It's a formal protest.

You know UPS auto-insures up to $50 or $100 (I forget which), right?

*nods* We're trying to collect on that now. Unfortunately, it's not going to cover the cost of the package, since it contained multiple gifts. (My dad splurges.)
