it’s really nice having a Popsicle who can fix everything. and i mean, everything. honestly, he’s never worked on refrigerators in his life and he fixed mine PERFECTLY. the part only cost $25.

the spoiled groceries were worth about $20. i had 2 half gallons of BRAND BUCKIN’ NEW FRESH DELICIOUS ICE CREAM to be completely ruined. but you know, there are much worse things. like my dad, for instance.

he left me a voice mail saying that the ‘fridge cost $150 to fix. so of course i’m all, “geez louise! that’s half my paycheck farglebarglegrumblespew.” so i go to his house after work to give him the money and i start counting it out and he says, “whoa what’s this money for?”

“the ‘fridge. you said it was $150.”

“oh, you got my message?”

“yeah.”

“well, i said $350.”

“WHAT?! $350?! i coulda bought a new one for that!”

“i know. i figured you’d get the joke.”

“what?”

“jaimie, it was only $25.”

“what? really?”

“yeah, i was kidding about the $350.”

“wow, i’m glad i misheard the message and thought it was $150 or i would’ve crashed the jeep for sure. $25?”

“$25.”

“you are rock and roll.”

“i know.”

to keep you posted on the Wicked theme of the month, i must tell you this weird thing. as i was driving jimmy home yesterday i made him listen to the CD with me (i bought it on friday but never had a chance to listen to it till yesterday). he hated it of course, in that way that boys act when they think that listening to something with a smidge of culture to it will make them instantly gay. so this song starts playing and i think it’s Glinda singing a letter to her folks (she’s away at college. isn’t that awesomely hilarious?) and she says, “Dear Momsie and Popsical” and we both look at each other all, “did she just call her dad Popsicle?!”

because, “me too!”

i finished working for the german lady. she turned out to be super nice and we would have coffee klatch every day at 2pm JUST LIKE AT THE HCH! anyway, i’ve made a new #1 Fan.
she hugged me when i left.

which, you know, is weird ‘cos i don’t even hug people i know. like, if liz or laura gave me hug i’d be all, “what the hell is your problem? were you diagnosed with cancer?”

which is REALLY BAD OF ME and i should NOT be so unhuggy with my friends! i’m going to make it a point to hug my friends one time this week. but only one time.
no need for them to expect it every time.

hee.

but really, jimmy is the only person i’m genuinely affectionate with. that’s okay, isn’t it?

right?

you guys? liz?
