Well maybe not quite to you but from this end I assure you, its definitely is. ;) <br /><br />I can only say this because I had one such day yesterday and probably should have spent the day in bed with the covers over my head pouting till this morning.

That's the biggest prob with someone living in your head...great for conversation, not so much for offering a hand!<br /><br />Ron! HA! A PERM! I love it!! It would have served me RIGHT! I totally agree w/you about the time change...now I'm noticing the sun disappears behind the clouds about 3pm and it's all downhill from there. 5pm feels like 7pm...and so on. And Ron? You're a freakin' genius with that screwdriver joke! I'd MUCH RATHER be drinking 'em!<br />xoxo<br /><br />Spot: Don't you be calling my friend Spot an idiot! I used to clarify the "IV" for the longest time (Clinton's been with me since my very first post), but then it got old. I even used to link back on the word, but as usual, I got lazy. Don't feel bad...I don't know the name of YOUR IV, either! Have we been introduced??<br /><br />Heather: Oh, I only wish! Nothing to apologize for, honey! He may as well be standing next to me...he's the loudest voice in my head and my very best source for witty conversation...don't you agree?<br /><br />Runnergirl: Wow...really? Maybe I should check out the auto parts store. Of course, if I spend the green on the adapter and then come to discover that for $2 I could have just changed the fuse, I'll feel stupid. Er....stupid-er.<br /><br />Collette: HA! Let's just hope that there's nothing alive in yours...all the power bars I'd had in mine could have meant mice and THAT would have been a whole different story!<br /><br />Maureen@IslandRoar: Thank you.

Ok...whe...Greetings you wild and crazy woman, you!<br /><br />Ok...when I got to the part where you mentioned the "screwdriver" I'm thinking to myself, "She's not, is she???" OMG...I'm suprised you didn't end up getting a PERM!?!?<br /><br />Honestly? I think your car looks pretty darn clean. I mean outside of the stuff you show us from the console, the rest of the car looks like new.<br /><br />And listen, I'm a smoker and even "I" never used those cigarette lighters in my car. I honestly think the only reason their in cars nowadays is to use as a recharger.<br /><br />Don't you just love the time change? I know we end up gaining an hour, but for some reason it always makes me feel like I lost an hour - I feel tired for days afterward.<br /><br />Anyway, tootsie...thanks for sharing your madcap day! <br /><br />And be careful with those screwdrivers.<br /><br />That is unless your drinking them.<br /><br />Bwhahahhhahahahaha!<br /><br />xoxoxoxoxoxoRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370763014722326902.post-85045674013348228232009-11-03T18:55:48.545-08:002009-11-03T18:55:48.545-08:00THAT'S WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE TRAPPED IN A B...THAT'S WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE TRAPPED IN A BATHROOM!

LOL Seriously. I make the occasional call on it. That's all. Email? Texting? HAHAHA! <br /><br />Why is it that something won't work in the car while out and about, but as soon as you bring it to the service station and tell the guy what's wrong, it works perfectly without his even touching a thing. Immaculate Correction, for sure.<br /><br />Our power outlets don't work either. Even with a new fuse. Which is why I never have my phone handy, because it's always on the kitchen counter being charged, for crying out loud, and then when I need it because the van has broken down I have to walk to the nearest service station and ask for a pay phone, which they don't have anymore because everybody has a fully charged cell phone on their person at all times these days except me, who's phone is so old it's just one step up from having a pull-up antenna, for goodness sake, let alone have the capacity to get my email or the ability to read it to me, and even if it COULD do all those things, WHAT GOOD IS IT DOING ON THE KITCHEN COUNTER!!! *breathe*<br /><br />OK--I feel so much better now.
