What I've learned today

Here are some things I have learned recently:

I know we didn't have air conditioning when I was a little kid and I survived, but my central air is broken and I'm pretty sure I am going to suffer from hyperthermia in my own house and possibly die. I took the kids to McDonald's today just to get out of my house and into the AC and ket them play in the playland for like 90 minutes while I enjoyed the free wifi on my laptop. Air conditioning is a wonderful invention.

My dog believes anything is a chew toy. Usually she just gets a doll or something the girls leave on the floor and I figure if you left it on the floor, it's fair game to the dog. I do however disagree when it's my brand new Under Armour sandals, and my oh so sexy strappy black high heels. Shoes BELONG on the floor, and why couldn't she pick like a crappy pair of $5 Old Navy flip flops or something? Bad Dog!!! I believe the Under Armour sandals will pull through, but strappy high heels are going to the shoe heaven. That dog owes me $50 for those.

Low sodium Lays potato chips taste as good as regular Lays in the yellow bag. Yay for my salty snack cravings not having to result in massive water retention!

I have to write a 5 page critical analysis of a book I've never read, by next Wednesday to turn in on my first day of class. There are multiple problems with this:
1. I can't find the book anywhere or online ecept on Amazon.com for $230 and I'm betting that's a little overpriced. Hopefully the college bookstore sells it, God willing. And for less than $230 because for that money it better be a damn good book that I want to read every day.

2. It's due the first day of class!!! So I don't even know the professor or what she wants out of papers! I could fail before I even start!

3. and possibly most important, WTF does "critical analysis" even mean???

Ambien CR costs considerably more than regular Ambien. So much so in fact that I didn't bring the script home from the pharmacy.

I requested off the first week of August for vacation and got scheduled anyway. I'm annoyed but we weren't going anywhere anyway because I have class on Wednesday. But still I was looking forward to time with my family since Sean is on vacation. I thought on my days off we could go to the zoo or 6 Flags or something. Then I get a summons for jury duty today for that whole week. Go freaking figure.

If you get a flat tire and you drive on it enough to pull over at a gas station to air it up enough that it will get you back to Walmart to have it fixed while it's still under warranty, driving that much on the flat voids the warranty. Jerks.
