I'm making time for this, despite my schedule.

1. Typically mild-mannered Vinnie went on Poo Strike 2007 and refused to poo so we could get our stool sample for the vet, but once I got him to the vet, he was so scared he pissed and shat all over the exam room, tried to bite the vet when she tried to clip his toenails, and growled at the vet's assistant.  Not exactly a model patient.
   
2. I stopped in at Sears Hardware to pick up a mulching kit for our riding mower, so I'm not blowing grass all over my garden again this summer.  The guy who 'helped' me looked at me askance when I asked for a mulching kit, then derisively (because I have ovaries, ergo I am stupid) told me they don't have mulching 'kits' but they have mulching 'blades.'  Although I was pretty sure I needed more than just a blade, I wasn't entirely confident in my request, so I said, 'Yeah, maybe that's what I need.'  He took me to the blades and saw they had 42" mulching / bagging blades.  He mused over the fact that there were only mulching / bagging blades, not just mulching blades, until I pointed out, 'Um, okay, but if they're mulching AND bagging blades, and I don't have a bag, won't they just mulch and lay it on the ground?' 
   Guy:  'Uh, yeah, I guess so.' 
   Me:  'Riiiiiiiiiiight.' 
   Guy:  'Do you need anything else today?' 
   Me:  'Yeah, but you know, I think I can find it myself.' 
   So there, Smart Guy.
   
3. I also picked up a ridiculously overpriced Craftsman crescent wrench for Greg, only to find another wrench (which also has a lifetime warranty) for a quarter of the price at Lowes.  I bought the Lowes one too, thinking we'd just return the Craftsman.  Greg needs a wrench for a 1.5" nut.  This Lowes wrench is specifically marked that it will open to 1.5".  It does not do any such thing, SILLY PEOPLE who thought it would do what it says it will do.  
   
4. Greg got pissed enough at all of this to tell me he's going to take back the wrench and the mulching blade to Sears Hardware and get 'bowdy bowdy' on them.    Raise your hand if you think the second half of that sentence is true.  Anyone?  Anyone?  Bueller?

har har!

Can we see a video of number 4?

It hasn't happened yet, but if it does, I'll be sure to record it.

You guys just wait, one of these I'll snap..  Really..

Okay, not really.
