Just minding my own business
The weather here has been freaky. One day it's 40 and windy, the next day it's 75 and humid as hell. It's hard to dress the kids for school because I never know if the frigging temperature is going to be. I was warned when I first moved to Texas "If you don't like the weather don't fret...just wait around 5 minutes and it will change.
I was at the drive through car wash the other day getting ready to type in my code, when I noticed a guy already parked in the wash bay. The sign was telling him to drive out, but the guy kept backing up and going forward. Finally he got out and started to look around. I told him that the wash was over and the computer is telling him to drive through.. The guy was a shaved head tattooed guy about 20. He yelled: "I didn't get my fucking wash" I told him to go inside and get his money back. The kid starts freaking out and opened his truck door so hard that it hit the machine and knocked his side mirror off. The whole time he's repeatedly screaming "FUCK!!!"
Apparently his transmission was still in gear because the truck started taking off without him he's hanging on the door and being dragged out of the car wash. He finally jumped in after nearly running himself over. In order to save face after looking so stupid, he started smoking his tires and driving like a maniac though the gas station parking lot.
After that, I figured I could wait and wash my car later.
Took the kids to see Santa this evening. No lines no waiting, it was awesome. They also switched the surly asshole elves from last year for friendly nice ones who know how to treat paying customers. I bet Santa sent the rude little asshole elves to the salt mines in Siberia.
Poor little Marvin got kicked out of the doghouse again at 3:00am and was left shivering in the rain. (He's the dog on my banner) He doesn't have any fur to keep him warm so I brought him inside and let him sleep on my lap in the recliner. When I woke up he was on the coffee table eating the last piece of my birthday cake. I figured what the hell... let him live a little.
Just posting fluff today, I'll probably be in ranting form tomorrow.
Here's a funny.

We only did the Santa in the Mall thing once. It was a complete disaster. I think our Elf Witches obviously moved over to your direction. Glad they've moved on again.
Cheers
This is my calling card or link"Whittereronautism"until blogger comments get themselves sorted out.
They say that "wait five minutes" about every state. Personally I wouldn't mind if it stayed 65 all winter, like it was yesterday. I could almost convince myself I lived in Florida. Without the hurricanes, though.
Good call to leave the car wash and let that dude rant and rave and wreck his car some more.
aww, poor Marvin, glad you were nice to him!
1. The weather is crazy all over, but is "Pres. Bush's fault".
2. Good call at the car wash. No way of knowing what the chap was on at the time.
3. What is it with the "evil elves" ? Is Santa cutting back on the wages?
4. Awww...Please give Marvin a pep talk so he doesn't think it's his fault...and a kiss.
5. I love Pres. Bush!
my son wanted to do the santa thing but he didn't want to get teased either. He's 11, he still likes to believe in santa, but his classmates tease him. I just tell him, they have no magic in their lives or heart.
I let our little rat dog sleep under the comforter. Not all the covers, just the comforter. She freezes other wise.
awwww Marv had a GREAT day!
Car was rage. Some scary shit there.

Our weather has been nuts too...was up in the 50's yesterday and today a snow storm....
Glad you took the dog in...I love dogs, (sometimes more than people)......
Funny clip!
Peace
To continue quoting a line from a fav movie...'it's Christmas, we're all in misery'... some days I feel like I've gone thru the car wash without the car. Hopefully next time you will get in and out with no drama.
Our weather is weird too... today we're looking at possible freezing rain/sleet and by the weekend maybe some snow? Fun? I think not.
Sweet to let Marvin in. Our Ollie has very short red hair and is ALWAYS under the covers.
Oh my!! That carwash story is hilarous!
Way to document the silly season! The guy at the Car Wash needed therapy. And I am glad to see that W has not changed a bit while in office.

Hope you were packing...that's the kind of crazy you might end up shooting off your ass one day!
I would have kicked marvins ass..
Poor Marvin.. This hasnt been the first time he got kicked out either in the last six months if I remember right?? LOL.. I would hate weather like that.. I mean its only 27 degrees here and I know the girls need there boots, snow pants, and coats and hats and such. But weather like you described I would go nuts with.
That's where the gun comes in handy, right? You don't have to fear those freaks too much. I don't pack one so I have to be quiet because you never know if they're packing one.
people are so weird
Maddy: last year they were rude as hell and tried to sell me a picture with everyone's eyes closed for 40 bucks. This year they insisted on a retake to get it perfect.
janet: yeah I try to avoid trouble when at all posible.
loon: I think that vid shows a more lighthearted side to our pres.
cheesy: I always root for the underdog :)
Jim: the guy was out of his gourd.
odat: dogs are usually more likeable than people.
crystalchick: marvin would live under a quilt if given half a chance :)
logziella: If I had only thought to make a cell phone video for youtube...
flyinfox: I've heard of roid rage and road rage but never car wash rage :)
mushy: I was carrying, thankfully but I also made sure to give myself room for an out.
cynnie: He'll get the shits later from the cheesecake and I'll laugh.
tweety: Coat, sweater or teeshirt? or all three? It sucks!
Paul: My first duty is to escape if possible. I was glad I had it with me just in case.
snowmanpoop: I agree.
I wish I could have seen that jack-ass!
LOL..... I've witnessed a meltdown or two like that in my time.
Poor puppy!
Yeah this global climate crisis is pissing me off. I live in San Diego where the average monthly temp is SUPPOSED to be 73 degrees. The last 4 days there has been frost on the roof's and ice on cars and crunchy frozen grass at the park.
Load of bollocks it is.
in your header...what is the thing piercing your brain?
Wow, sounds as if car wash boy was on something; a true loose screw.
Poor Marvin, weenie dogs don't get much respect and can use a break now and then. One of our four poodles is a cute little white fluff ball girl, Angel, of a whopping 6 pounds. She can jump in chairs and up to the table and eats whatever is up there, then starts barking for me to come get her down. She's my little buddy and can't do much wrong.
They're funny little rascals and help the whole family's attitudes adjust upward because they are so silly.
The guy at the carwash sounds like my ex-boy-friend before Shark. But he was waaay older than 22. (And still throwing temper tantrums like that.) Hence the status "ex-boy-friend".
Poor Marvin. At least somebody's showin' that poor canine some love.
The guy in the carwash sounds angry at the world. He better get over it and learn that life's not fair and some things aren't worth getting so worked up about. If he went back inside to get his money back, CALMLY, he'd probably get himself an extra free car wash in the deal.
Nice that you and the kids had a good Santa experience. I kind of miss those days, but we always had to stand in line.
Love the video!
That's enough to pay the kids to have them wash the car at home.
Glad you let the dog sleep inside when it was cold. I bet he liked the cake :)
You had me rolling with that car wash story! LOL That was good writing!
I know the last time I was jipped by a car wash it ruined my life for weeks. What an asshole. Cheers Hammer!!
Pfft. You said fluff.
I'm thinking that kid had some juice before hitting the car wash. The illegal kind.
Hammer, if you read to the umpteenth comment, could you explain me how poor Marvin got kicked out of the doghouse? who kicked him out? how come? yes I know, I'm blonde, and I'm French, it's why I don't understand everything and that you have to explain properly. OOh and at the top of that i am also a mother in law!!! lol
Why are some people so agro? Maybe he was a methamphetimine addict? hahaha We have a lot of angry people here (and a lot of "P" addicts too) - and I don't know why, it's such a cool country!!
President Bush has a sense of humour!! hahaha! Have never seen that side of him....thanks, you may just have helped slightly change my opinion of him! (Hardly anyone over here has any respect for him at all)
Damn, you find the weird folks wherever you go. I'm jealous.
Why do you reckon Marvin got himself kicked out of the doghouse at 3am? Was he being half as annoying as my sister's wiener dog?
Lurve that vid of GWB - at least he's a fun drunk. Only in America.
Glad ya saved the dog...wish you could save Bush from being a butthead when he is drunk...lol
Ha... I hate when the weather is all unpredictable like that.
try 19 degrees after two major snow storms that resulted in rain that froze all the snow.
