Kevin is at the doctor’s right now. Hopefully he can get some better medicine. I wouldn’t be surprised if the doctor said he has pneumonia. I don’t know how pneumonia is different from bronchitis but I do know that Kevin has been really sick for a long time. Poor Kevin.\
Apparently, I am “very Jen.” I don’t know what that means, but I will take it!\
Yo, peeps, youse gonna watch Veronica Mars and Supernatural or I gotta knock some sense in ya?\
ETA- Sadly, I was right. Kevin has pneumonia! Who the hell gets pneumonia in the middle of the summer? Poor, poor Kevin.
Random thoughts
I still hate school. And of course Brian woke up very early all weekend, making me wake up early too. But today, when I had to get up to take care of Max, Brian slept in. Grrr. And I think I sent Max to school in the rain, without a coat. I am a bad, bad mom.\
ABC is full of asshats, who won’t even comment on their program. What kind of leadership is that?\
I still love Supernatural! And Veronica Mars. And am looking forward to Battlestar Gallatica. What do these three shows have in common? Amazing use of music. Listen up! You will feel the love too!\
I am staying away from all of the 9/11 programs this weekend and today. Too much politicizing going on for me to stomach them.\
The Skins play tonight and Clinton Portis might play too!\
Kevin is still really sick. He can’t breathe that well or speak that well. I feel badly for him. And me. It is annoying trying to keep him stocked with juice and soup. And he keeps giving his juice away! How can I make sure there is enough for him, when he does that?\
Someone left us cookies at our doorstep last night. Whee! Brian turned down half of a chocolate chip cookie in favor of crackers. WTH?
Ties that bind us
Probability that Brian and I are having a bad day on the same day: 100%. I am sure of this, because either my headache and subsequent desire to keep my eyes closed is causing Brian to shriek and run around or his shrieking and running around has caused my headache.
Hi!
I got into a minor car accident on the way home from the store yesterday. Everyone is fine, though I was a little sore after a few hours and had trouble sleeping since I couldn’t lay on my side. (Brian didn’t suffer any effects at all and Max and Kevin weren’t with me. Really, Mom and Dad, we are fine.) It was a relatively minor accident, but I did end up with one bruise- on the top of my foot opposite-from-the-impact-side. Weird, huh?\
Honestly, the worst part was waiting the hour and a half it took for the police to show up so the cop could file his report and I could take my bored, hungry, tired, and cranky 2 year old and my melting popsicles home. After a few minutes, I popped open that box of popsicles and let Brian chow down. The accident was totally my fault. I stopped at the stop sign, looked both ways, didn’t see anyone coming, and then went. But apparently there was someone driving where I wanted to be, cuz he smacked right into me. I even got a ticket, which I am not going to contest.\
Oh but really, the worst part is the damage done to my van. I love my van. It’s mangled near the driver’s side door and front wheel and and groans and complains about being opened and closed. All four panels on the driver’s side need to be fixed. We seem to have taken care of the paperwork and insurance without too much hassle. The insurance adjuster freaked me out by “thanking me for my honesty” and I “helped him do his job more easily.” I was all, WTF does that mean? Kevin tried to explain that he is probably used to people being extra verbose and circumspect. Whatever. I just hope we can still afford to send our kids to college after our rates go up.\
The other driver works for a car dealership and was driving a customer’s car. Oopsie. I hope things are ok for him at work. He was nice. Very, “These things happen” and “This is a dangerous intersection, they need a light here.” He reminded me a little of my dad. About three weeks ago, he (the other driver) was rear-ended and his personal car was totaled. Bad luck for him. I sent him a cookie basket at work. Poor guy.\
Mmmm, now I want cookies. Who has one for me?
Howdy
This morning while I went out, the dishes didn’t get washed.\
Then later, when I came home and collapsed on the couch exhausted, the dishes still didn’t get washed.\
And now, while I am goofing off by typing this, THE DISHES STILL AREN’T WASHED.
Deep Thought
True love is giving away the last piece of your favorite chocolate candy even though you’re going through PMS.
Where’s the beef?
I spent nearly \$250 at Costco today (some of that was gas) and only \$15 of that was for food. Isn’t that depressing?
Thought of the day
I should have gotten some bing cherries at the store earlier.\
And a big HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY to my mommy. I knew you’d be offline over the weekend, so I didn’t post this earlier. Love you! Miss you! Ate an oatmeal cookie in fond remembrance of you!

There are dark chocolate M&Ms in my snack cupboard.
