Old People

*sigh* This is going to be my fate.

This morning my mom was telling me how my grandpa (mom's dad) lost his dentures. Apparently he was washing them in a cup, but he forgot and thought the cup was dirty. He emptied the cup into the toilet and then flushed it. The sad thing: I can see myself doing the very same thing without even realizing it!

My mom told him to go see if his insurance will cover him to get some new teeth , and if they weren't going to cover him... we'd go ahead and get him some! Lord willing, we'll get to see him this Thanksgiving, but Thanksgiving feast won't be so fun if he doesn't get some teef :D

I want to wear these EVERYDAY!

Morning Conversations II

After the Astros lost on Monday, most of the city of Houston was in mourning. Well, I was definitely looking forward to my Tuesday morning nap before getting to work. However, my mom couldn't stand it. She just had to know HOW ON EARTH YOU PLAY BASEBALL.

I then proceed to spend the next 40+ minutes explaining the rules of baseball, in the most simplest form. To give you a sample of what I was dealing with, here is one of the questions my mom had:

"I don't understand. How come there were two people standing at first base. Does that mean that if my team hits the ball again, then they throw the ball to one of the guys standing at the first base, and then they throw it to the second guy, and the second guy runs?"

Ah, morning conversations.

C-O-N-G-R-A-T-U-L-A-T-I-O-N-S

[Fuse and Jersey are now engaged!]

I'd like to take this moment to congratulate one of the luckiest guys ever. FUSE... you are the man. You got yourself one amazing lady.

And I get the feeling that Jerse might say I have it all wrong... that she's the lucky one, but nonetheless, I'm biased and well who cares?

Congratulations to you both. Jerse, don't feel obligated to pick me as one of your bride's maids :D (I would do such a lousy job... ask my sister, but should you decide you need someone to stand in heels for hours, I'm well trained as I do it everyday).

Wow, all my Asian lady friends are dropping like flies. Okay maybe not at such a quick rate, but sheesh, before you know it, my sister will be hitched :P (Haha, who am I kidding.... there's only a handful of guys I'd approve of for her. Too bad for you gentle-ly men, I'm such a tough screener.

HAPPY ENGAGEMENT TO BENIFER (you had to watch that episode of Joey to understand).

My apologies for the non existent updates… I guess that’s what happens when you really work, such a sad truth. I know you all have eagerly awaited my next fiasco, but fortunately, there’s been no trippings (as of late). The following are a couple updates:

[JDRF]Thank you to all of those who have decided to support the Junior Diabetes Research Foundation (and my day off of work!) I have now reached my goal of raising $100. If you still need to send me a check, please make sure I will receive it no later than October 18, 2005. (If you won’t be able to make that date, please notify me immediately! You can make checks payable to JDRF or Junior Diabetes Research Foundation. If you would still like to donate money to JDRF, please feel free to do so.

[$1.11]Being the check book balance freak I am, I enjoy ensuring that I have enough money in my checking account to pay my credit card bills, etc. Thus, usually around the beginning of every month, I like to go ahead and deduct my savings I put away as well as my monthly auto-with draws so I don’t forget about those items and not have sufficient funds to cover my dairy aire.

Case being I began the deduction process yesterday. (Note: I get paid bi-monthly, and I thought I already received my first paycheck for the month). When I finished deducting all the amounts, I ended up with $1.11. Yes, my jaw dropped.

No worries my friends, the shock does not end there. I immediately panicked. My first thought was, “How are you going to pay your credit card bills?” Second thought, “What on earth did you spend to leave yourself with only $1.11?” (Note: As mentioned above, I do allot a good chunk to savings. The amount in my checking account is my “for fun spending,” so no need to send me to classes on how to manage money).

Well, with only one dollar to spare, I decide to check the balance on my credit card to see how much over $1.11 I was. (I was hoping I would survive until my second paycheck was given to me).

I panicked yet again. I forgot I had already set it up so my credit card was automatically paid with my bank account (which I already accounted for in my check book balance). Naturally, the date that amount is withdrawn hadn’t occurred yet, so my current balance was ridiculously high.

I finally realized that and thought, “Well, at least your credit card bill is normal and you can cover those funds with your other bank account until you get paid.” The panick ended when I looked at my calendar. Payday is tomorrow, the 14th. I’m back in business.


I think that’s enough drama for the day.
