how cool is it to find a cheque (yes, i said cheque) for $50 in your mailbox when you get home from work?
today should really be friday, by the way. i’m going to meghan’s to take over her kitchen and whip up a chicken & prawn stirfry for the four of us to eat while we watch the finale of survivor. because i’m going there and eating dinner it should be friday. that’s what we do on fridays. not thursdays.
i can tell you right now i’m going to have a terrible time getting up to go to work tomorrow.
money is good. colby needs consoling – shall we call him together?
i don’t know… i’d be pretty frikin’ pissed off if somebody put a cheque in my mailbox… worthless piece of crap… now if it was a check…
i’d like a Czech – but only if he’s cute!
I have to agree w/ Scott on this one – I hate when we get cheques in the mail, since it’s usually one of Gary’s relatives sending like a 5 pound cheque that would cost us more than its value (even with the exchange rate so heavily in favor of the pound) to cash in bank fees.
Although, I have to admit, even better is when they send a 5 pound bill. At least we can show Rowan what money from the other half of her bloodline’s mainland looks like. (I think he just stores it figuring some day he’ll be back, and hopefully the Euro won’t have wiped out the pound notes by that point in time.)
So, who sent you a cheque??
the federal government. “provincial heating rebate cheque”. so, that’s $175 i’ve gotten from the politicians and $200 i got from the power company itself.
the kicker is MY electricity bills haven’t gone up. this is just all extra moola to me.
BTW, 1. isn’t it freaky you complained about not being able to get up for work today…, and 2. wtf is a prawn, anyhow??
1. yes, the irony didn’t escape me.
2. a prawn is basically a big shrimp (oxymoron intended).
Funny, Gary and I were just discussing oxymorons on the way home from the movies. And you know you’re a parent when getting to see a movie in a theatre is a big exciting thing!
And if you have the chance – and are up for a little mental work (it’s NOT one of those mind-numbing-sit-back-and-be-stupified films), I’d highly recommend you see “Momento.” If for no other reason than one nice butt shot (alas, no slow-motion-instant-wonder-shlong-replay here), but mostly because it was actually a pretty interesting film.
you can also tell you’re married/a parent when you make note of “one nice butt shot” in the movies you go to see. ;)
Hrmph. I only mentioned it because of OUR experiences with movies featuring male anatomy. Trust me, I see a cute butt almost any time I want to around here. ;) (yes, there really IS an ass in those pants…um…wait…that makes it sound as if I’m calling him an ass! Not tonight at least!)
I think I need sleep, I’m damn near giddy. Kill me now.
no way. i like you alive and kicking. and giddy. and even when you cry when i beat you at scrabble. =)
but, no matter what, i won’t believe there’s an ass in those pants. not possible.
IT’S CHECK!!!! CHECK! CHECK! CHECK!! NOT CHEQUE!!!
a check is a v-shaped thing you use to mark boxes on forms.
a cheque is a note of intention to pay someone funds.
how many times do i have to explain this to you people? ;)
You’ve just an evil beaver that doesn’t know how to spell check.
hey, i check my spelling all the time!
