- Do you ever wonder who the wrecker truck driver calls when his truck breaks down?
- Paying bills online and using a debit VISA to make purchases have made me nearly incapable of writing an actual check. I need to do only about three a month, and each time, I have to stop and think about how to actually DO IT. Weird.
- Why do teenagers think that wearing a hoodie over their t-shirts while still wearing shorts and flip flops will help ward off the 30 degree temperatures on a winter morning? And they wonder why they're shivering? Duh........
- I can't write in cursive to save my life. God help if me I actually get this novel written, get it published, and it becomes a best-seller, because I can't manage to scribble my name legibly for any contract or autograph. Ergh.....
- My husband lost his job.....and then got another one within nine days. I've lost count of how many times he's been laid off in our 22 years together, but I think this made number six. Or seven. Whatever.
- I think paying $1200 a month for health care insurance is obscene.
- I'm in total denial that it is December 1st. I have not done one bit of shopping, have not given much consideration to Christmas cards, and there is not one decoration adorning the inside nor outside of the abode. I HAVE, however, pondered making Christmas cookies. Now what does that say about my priorities? *giggle*
- I think it's time to clean out my shoe closet. Again. It's ridiculous in there.
- My daughter is now the tallest member of our family. She bends down to hug me. Ridiculous.
- It's been a disappointing football season for me. Sigh. I hope college basketball season shows more promise, but I doubt it can top last year, especially since Gordon Hayward turned pro.
- Jennifer Grey looks amazing. And she's older than I am, which makes it ridiculous.
- If I have to call the medical device company ONE MORE TIME to order my C-PAP replacement gear, I will SCREAM. Can't ANYONE get a simple reorder correct? Sheesh....seven calls later, I'm STILL waiting for the most important piece: the actual headgear. Grrr.........
- I've been getting really good use out of the gorgeous quilt my wonderful mommy-in-law sent me back in September. :)
- Went to Vegas last week to see a friend from high school whom I have not seen in 20 years. She just moved back to Florida from the Middle East, and she was in Vegas to spend Thanksgiving with family friends. While I was there, I got a Facebook friend request from TWO more high school friends that I have not seen in 30 years. Then, this week, I got a call from a high school friend who is stopping by to pay me a visit in the next few weeks. Weird........
- Oh, and that photo above? I spent much of the holiday weekend sleeping and cuddling with my kids. :)
I think that cleans the lint trap for now. Later daze, y'all...................

He calls WAA Wrecker Auto Association silly!
I do not have to write any checks any longer!
Teenagers are teenagers...next question
My signature has devolved into a scribble with a V at the beginning an E in the middle and sort of an M in there somewhere, but I can make it legible if I want
I pay $1,300+ a month..my company contributes $100/month... criminal I say
Wait..Christmas? When? No tree this year...very few presents...just some time with Nancy and Mom and Dad and that is enough for me
DO NOT THROW OUT SHOES...just sayin'
Matt bends to hug me...I get it
You look amazing too...just sayin'
Dumb company...let me at them
OOO Quilts rock
Glad you enjoyed Vegas...
Vinny: I NEVER throw out shoes. I usually hand them down to the Lass. She wears the same size, and she gets the benefit of "new" comfy kicks while I don't have to shell out more dough for them. :)
I cleaned out my shoe closet a few years ago and the other day I realized I got rid of this really great pair of black shoes. I'm bummed out. When I threw them out, I hadnt' worn them for 2 years so I figured they had to go...but I would have worm them the other day.
I enjoyed your update :)
Your Christmas priorities sound good to me! I'm not really into doing anything Christmasy yet. Maybe in another week I'll feel it.
I know what you mean about the medical insurance. That's about how much we were paying, but then we switched to the cheapest plan with the HMO. And that's when we in the hole with all of the toddler's medical bills. Before the switch most of the expenses were covered, but now almost everything is out-of-pocket. If we only knew how many health problems he would have, we wouldn't have switched.
I probably shouldn't share that my total health care premium for the year is about $320 for medical, dental, and vision.
Of course, Mr Tucker's health issues have cost me nearly $3,000 since August.
Let's see...one pair each of black loafers, brown loafers, black dress shoes, sneakers, hikers, sandals, and slippers. I'm covered!
Some times I totally forget I even have a checkbook! :-)

• We pay about $1200 a month for the four of us. It's more than my mortgage payment and it's not even particularly good insurance :(
• Teenagers in hoodies and shorts: They do that here, too, and I don't get it, either.
• You have a shoe closet?
• I find writing checks to be the biggest imposition ever.
Hello! Sorry I haven't been here for a long time.
This will make you feel better, though: it's Dec. 16 and I haven't done any shopping YET. And top of that, it's my daughter's birthday on the 23rd and menu is not planned yet..plus the cooking.
Hope all is well with you!

Hubby and I pay more than you do for health care coverage. It's not going to get any cheaper either.
Have a terrific day. :)
