to "chirp" about. When I lived in Uptown, my best friend was Shaun. I met him three weeks after I moved. He was GREAT. We palled (that is pal as in best pals) around everywhere together. I like to equate us with Will and Grace only Shaun wasn't gay (not that there would be anything wrong with that..in our case it might have been better). Anyway, he came up with this saying for me..that I CHIRPED..and it stuck and now my dad says it..and apparently I chirp on my blog because my dad and brother are the only ones I let slip that I was doing this. I miss Shaun..I am sure I will write a lot about him. But I am also very mad at him so I am not wasting the space right now. Okay, this morning there was a small letter in the Star and Tribune from a man who was disappointed after reading blogs because he didn't learn anything and he equated them with the ramblings of a man on a barstool at the local bar..hmmm..okay..DEAR SIR: DON'T EVER READ MINE...YOU MIGHT BE HAPPIER GOING TO A BAR!!!!
Anyway, it made me all the more convinced that my blog will just be my ramblings and no one will learn anything very important..SO STAY AWAY IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IMPORTANT KNOWLEDGE..
I just had a fight with our garden hose in the driveway. I won. But it was exhausting and it's hot out and I needed to come inside.
Today we got our water softener. This is a huge LEAP for mankind. I don't think I could be more excited. I have talked to Will 27 times on the phone since 8 am..And all of the conversations have gone like this: "Is it really getting installed today?"
"Yes, it's really getting installed."
"So, my hair is going to be nice again?"
"Yes, your hair is going to be nice again."
"Are you saying my hair wasn't nice before?"
"Uh.."
Hang-up.
"Hello?"
"He's here. The plumber. He looks plumbery. I think he can install it!"
"That's great! Call me when he's done."
Oh brother...we are pathetic. And NO I would never hang up on Will because you shouldn't hang up on someone that you love it leads to bad communication, etc. etc.
I am running the water in the shower, tub, doing a load of laundry, and the dishes just to cycle the water through..in the hopes that the soft water will kick in..is that how it works?
Our water bill will probably be $1,000. almost as much as our first mortgage payment. But I haven't had soft water in two years! I had rust water in Uptown and I have been pouring two gallon jugs of filtered water on my head for two months waiting to have enough summer school money to pay for this friggin' Water Boss..yes, that's the name of the water softener..so today is a big day..
I was going to write about the lost cat a few weeks back but I am afraid I am going to get carpal tunnel syndrome as I am sitting at the kitchen table and my posture isn't very good on my laptop..well, hand posture..
I will leave you with a picture of Will and my first Harley Davidson..we won it in a raffle..at a biker bar in the area..he was the only one wearing Abercrombie and Fitch..I was the only girl who didn't have a tattoo..on my boob..I am so lame..anyway, he quickly ran the "prize" to the car, as we obviously were not the favored winners of the Harley Rocker..but you know, it looks kind of cool in our living room..
I AM JUST TRYING TO FIT IN!!!!!!
