Good flippin’ grief, what a day! All I wanted to do was relax and recuperate from the holidays and the damned in-laws up from wherever. But TheMan is off work this week and he’ll have none of that shit. So, I used today to do my new online job and try to get a paycheck for next week. Oh! And I submitted an article to an online content generator. Supposedly they pay a little if they like your content. We’ll see, no won’t we? I’m certainly not going to get rich working at these little jobs, but,um, yeah, it’s way better than nothing.
Yesterday TheMan and I put in some insulation. Unfortunately we ran out of money so we couldn’t put in enough for the entire attic. Here’s a tip for the do-it-yourselfers: Make sure you have all the materials and all the money before you start your project. Ok? Other wise you’ll find yourself down a Lowe’s with all kinds of nasty attic dust and soot all over yourself and people will laugh and point at you. Oh, yes, they most certainly will. Did I mention that my attic is really shitty and I can’t wait to get started on finishing it? No? Well, I just did. Back to the story. We have found that we need a couple of floorboards because, well, we’re not light little feathers floating helplessly in the wind anymore and my fat ass does not want to fall through the damned floor/ceiling. Also, to the previous owners, you are big fat dickheads for leaving that attic in such horrid shape. Lucky for those bozos I’ll be getting some new siding on this joint next summer, so most of their terrible handiwork will be hidden (you know, like the purple exterior paint) but I have no idea when we’ll be able to replace those goddamned floorboards. Fuckers.
Oh, and my step-sister in-law was up this week (see above) and boy, was that a drag. She’s Milly, but shorter and younger, for sure. She’s oh-so prim and proper and dresses oh-so….well, they shop at the same stores….grrrr. But her child is a serious little devil. She gets no correction and runs around destroying everything. Now, I try to teach Baby to be gentle and not mess her toys (“If you break it, it’s gone for good. Wouldn’t that make you sad?”). But I guess that’s just me. This kid is cute, but man, teach her some damned manners. And going around patting people’s asses is not cute for a little girl, for the record. Whoever taught her that should be bitch slapped. I think I’m up for that job.
Warning: Politics under the fold.
Also, Saddam Hussein is destined for the gallows. For sure this time. Quick question: Did you think it would turn out any differently? Hello! Major political points for one wannabe-but-can’t-ever-be dictator prez…. Sheesh! Another question: Why the hell was that man in our custody? Aren’t the puppets, er, I mean, Iraqi authorities responsible for him now? Why wasn’t he in their prison? Why the hell put someone in protective custody if the bastard is going to swing anyway?(That part was for those who would choose to answer “We’ve got to keep him safe!”) What a crock of shit. Is there nothing better happening in the world? What’s CNN’s deal that they have to keep us updated? It’s a good thing I don’t have my political blog anymore or I might have had a stroke from out of control anger issues. Hussein is a non-issue. Move past him. Turn off the set. And get a clue. That man was dead the minute they pulled him out of that rabbit hole Rumsfeld was hiding him in. He didn’t stand a chance. Oh! And I have just one more question….
Proofing the floorboard while Saddam Swings
