They say that you should never meet your heroes, who are your heroes and, given the opportunity, would you ever meet them?

Kiddo: I never get enough sleep. I wake up and I just want to go right back to sleep.
Me: Time to get you some vitamins.
Kiddo: I wish I could just, like, sleep forever.
Me: That's called death.
Kiddo: <jaw drop>

"We're Americans. We don't do what is easy. We do what is necessary."
Oh, wait. Real President Obama said that.

With a proper shout out to Double S! Let's go back to the zoo!
And of course, I couldn't use that title without the appropriate props to Mr. Bridges with his fine ass self.
If this weekend had only had one day, Saturday really would have been the one that was enough to fill up the whole weekend for me. 🙂
Sit back and enjoy the recap.
I have just under 5 tons of work to do now. I'm not overwhelmed but I really do have to get organized. And motivated.
Feel free to kick me in the ass if you see me dilly-dallying.

This past week was basically an epic FAIL all around. I fell behind in my schoolwork and when I got it done, it was a half-assed job and my grades reflected it. Went to the gym a total of ZERO times. Ugh. But hey, there's no need to dwell on the past and my failures.
Today is payday!! Huzzah! And my income tax check was supposed to be deposited today too, but I think that my bank gets confused if more than one deposit comes in at the same time. I'm sure they'll get it in there before the weekend is over. They got Lovey's done and he filed days after me.
I was feeling good this morning, taking photos as I drive. Again. I know. I shouldn't. But I actually like this one which is why I'm sharing it with you, my lovely neighborhood. I'm so happy that my hair is finally getting long. It's been a good six years that I've been growing it out, no cuts, no chemicals. It grows ultra-slowly.
Btw, ROCO Friday!
On with the list for this week:
Okay boys and girls. I've gotta get rockin on some stuff. Have a great Friday and an even greater weekend!
ROCO!

You may (or may not) remember my previous griping about the hopsital bill from hell. I'm too lazy to find a link to the story so let's summarize. I went to the hospital without insurance and racked up a hella big bill. I've been paying it off for over two years now. Well, I've been trying to pay it off but even though they have my banking information, the company that handles the bill needs to be screamed at reminded to draft out their payment.
Today I decided that I would be even more responsible and instead of spending what's left of my income tax money after the other bills on something fun for me, that I would see how much of a discount they would offer in a settlement. Well, much to my surprise, they were willing to knock 35% off of the balance! Sweet! And DEAL! They can draft that out next week. Thank you and Good Riddance!
Here's the best part:
I called and asked for the lady that handles my account. The lady that answered the phone asked for my name which is not unusual. I'm on hold and then I get transferred to a voicemail of a person whom I do not know. I hung up without leaving a message and called back. I let the lady who answered know that I called for my lady but got someone else's voicemail. She said that she knew and that was what she was told to do. Grrr.
Since she didn't do anything wrong, I was nice to her. I asked her to please tell my lady that I wasn't calling to complain (this time) so please take my call. Three seconds later, I had her on the line. After we worked out the settlement, she did apologize for not taking my call. She said that she sent me directly to the head of accounting because she "just didn't know how to apologize again" for their screwups.
Unprofessional? Uh, yes, I think so, but this whole ordeal has been. But you know what? It's over. As of next week, I never have to deal with these people again. HOORAY!!

When having a conversation with two people who both have a halitosis issue but seem to be unaware of it, how does one respond when something like this happens?
Bad Breath 1: There's no nice way to tell people they have bad breath, huh?
Bad Breath 2: Nope, you can just try to give them a mint or gum.
Innocent Bystander: Uh, yeah. Mint.
