Why do you ask am I looking for the perfect wife? For my darling husband of course then I can dance away in my bountiful amounts of imperfections including wrong clicks, missed documents and all the other things the darling man I married finds fault with (as he is in a magical place called Bubba-land is perfect) anyone else feel queasy? We're stepping up the search because - again I haven't quite got the straight face down when questioned by the authorities of what happened to Bubba. The smirking is going to get me the chair - I swear....
ahem. So - the latest in my imperfections I had 3 bills in 6 weeks with an issue, first was a fat finger on the computer Card Ci versus Card Ch - I paid one twice and one not at all... Tomato... thankfully the one I didn't pay had the EZ pass on it - and that's it... so $15 fee on a $25 bill. Fun right? So of course AFTER the Bubba FIT I took care of things.. called, admitted my mistake; the nice lady from somewhere in India waived my fee, I paid the bill and done. It was a mistake - chuck it up to stuff happens. Am I wrong here? Am I the only one who mis-clicks? I do bills almost every week, this doesn't happen every day.... then whoops problem with the cell phone bill - in January was brought up. Apparently I missed that bill too so when we got a text message from Large V Phone Company that we were past due.... didn't the poo hit the air circulation device. Whoops- somehow I missed that one - don't ask me how bills go in one location - when they are moved and usually not by me - they get missed. OK - not good, not happy but it's done right? You pay it and you move on - VPhone knows you aren't a regular dead beat - you pay 99% of your bills on time - one whoops doesn't not a crisis make... unless your Bubba then the payment police are on your door step guns drawn, you'll work until your dead you will never save any money you'll be destitute until forever -- bla bla bla. I can't possibly be the first person to miss lay a bill and it not get paid - either mistakenly or on purpose - and trust me this was a mistake. Will someone please explain to me the reaction of having an absolute fit - with name calling and other not so nice things over a missed bill - one month. That was paid on line before he was done having said fit? Seriously. Whoops a mistake was made - you fix it and move on... I'm blaming his mother - after all isn't that who the analysts blame? Either that or that still pond water known as Bubba Sr may have had similar 'fits' when Bubba Jr was young and impressionable. Who knows these people talk about their family life as if it were state secrets. (they don't talk at all... it the point - and for you Wikipedia folks.)
ANY WAY... so Friday another bill arrives and it is in the paid file - no date - no mark in the check book just in the wrong pile. Which tells me when I was doing bills I was interrupted mid-way it got missed because someone needed something immediately and well - me being that imperfect human - whoops. So 3 in the course of 6 weeks and I am - well let's put it this way trying to put us into the poor house with fees and interest - more like 2 phone calls and fees waived and bills paid and life somehow manages to go on... go figure. Last time I checked the debt police were not at the door and the people on the other end say things like - oh no problem Aunt Ing, we can take care of it for you (as we are not regular deadbeats - unlike my husband's comments to the contrary)
The weekend has proven uneventful - after the Friday night fits. Saturday I was up way to early thanks to puppy bladders and more importantly her stomach - i.e.Shelby. Even after getting up I can still manage to be late for a 9:15 appointment (blood work for another doctor visit next Monday). But that was tended, Bubba and I went out to breakfast then to the Home improvement store for dirt - yes we had to buy dirt because our pups apparently are trying to dig to China via several large and deep holes in the back yard. So we filled in the craters and picked up the land mines... har har har.... it was a nice day, sun shining, temperatures were a bit chilly but we got things done. Came inside, did bills -- all of them --- (I hope) got laundry started, we researched vacations spots. Its looking like a trip to Alaska... should be fun! Of course when Bubba darling started to see prices and airfare he tried to go cheap somewhere out of Baltimore - Nope. Sorry Pumpkin last year's vacation was cleaning and repainting the deck 2 days at a nice resort after seriously wanting to kill you over a new car purchase. There will be time away with meals I don't have to cook and an opportunity to bury my nose in my Kindle without you having to talk to me... not to mention this will most likely be post surgery so I'll be a cheap date - at least liquor wise.
We also set up appointments for window replacement - this should be a good time. My intention is to allow Bubba the Arab trader in a former life deal with this. I want windows in the size and configuration they currently stand, with a new front door - and if we're lucky a new back door... that way I won't spend next winter listening to the wind blow through the holes in the current doorways.
My calendar for the next two weeks is a nightmare - we have window and doctor appointments, we have a practice and an event Saturday afternoon. Bubba is disappearing to West VA Friday night - although he did mention no confirmation of guys night - so we'll just withhold comment until then. Oh yeah and that working for a living thing and whatever else may get tossed in the mix.
My plan for Sunday is to be lazy - you know things like finishing up the laundry, ironing (haven't done in it a while) clean the kitchen, make dinner and think about an early bed time after all we lost an hour's sleep last night - and I certainly can't afford it.
It's another lovely day outside, Shelby and Violet are outside, Shelby sleeping in the sun Violet wondering around looking for a pillow. I offer to Violet to come inside but she wants to be outside with Shelby - unusual but hey who am I to argue?
In other news my dinner Thursday went well -only mishap was my taken a corner apparently too quick had some chicken sauce spillage - oh SO grateful for that cover in the back of my car... cleaned up real nice... the dogs will still probably sniff it to death but it still should be mostly cleaner and gone by now. Why am I envisioning a 4 hour car ride home with two dogs trying to lick small corners of the back of my car... goodness...
Off to make a grocery list, and all those other relaxing Sunday things... later!
