My SO's man cave only lasted until he decided that his precious new truck needed to be secure more than he needed a man cave. So, I acquired the mini fridge for under my desk at the office. It seems that, as soon as I started using my own fridge, my food and drinks stopped disappearing from work.

Imagine that! I wonder why that is.

well because i think she's going to use it instead of her laptop @_@ i wonder if she's going to use it for work.

anyway, this is so weird. there's this book i've had my eye on, and i SWEAR it used to be $6.99, but now it's 7.99 on amazon! and i didn't see that it was published by RH until now. maybe my eyes are going...

okay, went to inkmesh which still gave me the old amazon price, which was $5.78! i should have bought it then! i thought it wouldn't go up anymore ;___;

i hate myself.

Hmmm, okay....that's a big reason I got my Xoom and it does in many ways replace some things I do on my desktop and netbook.

I've seen any number of books go up and down in price, generally before the "Agent Krap Kontract" at Amazon.

Wyndlash go easy on yourself. If you're gonna hate yourself make it count, like for eating too many brownies or cheese cake or for having one too many drinks when you went out last night.

Better advice there never was

The grill is still in pieces. Am I really going to keep stepping over all the parts for another day?

Mortis · 04-02-2011, 05:49 PM

You could always use the age old trick and threaten to have someone come assemble it for you, he'll be shamed into it

That one depends on your partner......

That won't work because I'd feel guilty for doing it. Although he has no desire to put the grill together, his reasons for not doing it are lack of availability. My reasons are straight laziness. If he's willing to work 13 hours on a Saturday so I can have my dream grill, the least I could do is attempt to put it together.

Although it's pretty nice out and I feel like doing this.

I guess the breezes off of the ocean will have to hold me over.... Maybe I should crack open another Guinness and get on with it!

You're a strong independent woman, you don't need a man, you know how to use a screw driver and a spanner (wrench for the Yanks.

Feel the power? You can do it!
