Love Nothing Bundt Cakes... That's what my Step son just had for his wedding, they did one large bundt cake and many of the bundtlettes.

And, what I refer to as HUBS (Head Up Butt Syndrome ) continues to become even more rampant on the roadways...!!!!!

Yep, good stuff...!!!!!
We’ve had office treats from them several times!
Another place we get a lot from is Tiff’s Treats.
It’s an Austin original (they now have locations in Georgia and Tennessee), and the first US bakery to offer a warm cookie delivery service...sooooo darn good...!!!!!!!

It’s Friday, sooooo...

So I got home and suddenly everyone wanted everything, so I ended up working for another two hours.

All done, though, and Belle and I are on the back patio.

Oh and one of my friends invited me to see Avengers Endgame tonight. I told her I had plans. Didn't tell her my plans were sitting outside reading a book, but it was honest...

It would BUT, even with the diagnostic tool for cars, sometimes multiple codes can come up. So it's not like it's a one and done. Rather, it's often do this, do that, and do the other thing and maybe the problem can finally be traced and fixed.

And you get charged for all the labor until they figure it out, and possibly some new parts you have to buy, (that may or may not have been the actual problem). So code readers can only do so much. Kinda like doctors, actually.

Yep, those things couldn’t diagnose themselves out of a wet paper sack on their best day...it’s like a crap shoot...or a one-armed Vegas-style auto repair bandit...!!!!!

Nothing wrong with that. Sounds like a great evening. Are you going to add in a glass of wine while relaxing with that book?

Yea, I didn't have that cell phone advantage and both my daughters had part time jobs 30 miles away and they had to drive back and forth in all kinds of weather. Only once did one of them decide to stay overnight at my parents home because of a snow storm. My parents lived about a mile from the McDonalds where she was working. It was all interstate between their work and home so no way to contact us if something happened. And they both worked in different places with somewhat different schedules so I had to worry in double.

Yea, cell phones were just comin’ into pretty common usage about the time our girls were comin’ of age and started to drive (DS will probably never drive, for obvious reasons, but his good friend Tyler, who is a paraplegic that he’s known since preschool does ).
But, we still worried...and sometimes maybe more ‘cause sometimes they either didn’t answer, or we got sent directly to voicemail...!!!!!
Never invasive on our part, but, you are still minors and livin’ in our house, so yea... Fortunately, both DDs actually worked at the same place before the oldest left home.
They both worked at a place (now defunct) in the local mall 5 mins. away called “Inflatable Wonderland”(they also worked together at the school youngest DD still teaches at)...!!!!!
Megan (oldestDD) says she will go back to the school and teach again as soon as she can enroll Emy...both of our young ladies love children and have such beautiful hearts...!!!!!!!
It is an inclusive school, that includes children with sever disabilities and all in between...I couldn’t be more proud of the family DWifey and myself raised if I tried...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What’s even funnier, is I was workin’ at the Disney Store in the same mall during much of that time, and have now been back at the firm for 6 plus years...life’s a crazy, dicey thing, and if you can’t laugh at it, or yourself, you’re toast...!!!!!!!!!!!

Put my Mom on a Airplane to Cleveland for an ENTIRE week. Gives me a week to undo all mischief she has gotten into since September
They are driving to Middle of nowhere N.Y. for my nieces graduation form college Pre-med

On way back from there yesterday I stopped at my all time favorite Pizza Place from my childhood. Inside they have done nothing in 50 years. A flashback in time but yummy food
