Yeah, I know,,,it's Thursday Now

How could I forget to post ??!!

Well it's back to work Wednesday.*Heavy Sigh*
Ehhh,,it'll be over with before I know,,,I may even try to work Saturday,,,We'll see how I feel.
I tinkered with Princess's car yesterday,,,then I went and made it an appointment with the car doctor,,,,,,,then I came home and messed with it somemore....And now I surrender.
I'm not smart enough and don't have the tools to get it done.........Kind of like my air conditioner =(
Oh well,,,,it's just money,,,,right??

Everything good has its' bad. Even cheap rent.
I started the morning at 4am,,,,that means the Princess did too !! I try my best to be quiet,
(the bathroom is right beside her bedroom) but I guess she's a light sleeper, she usually stumbles out about the time I finish my first cup of coffee, and seems to be in a good mood,,,for the most part.
She puts up with me. I made her biscuits before she went to work, they was awesome for canned biscuits.

Here's a video Pops forwarded to me,,,that was forwarded upon forwarded many times,,,,and no wonder,,,,it's amazing.
