Workin' for a Livin'

The Wife and I haven't gotten to see much of each other this past week.  She's on days and I'm on evenings, so she leaves before I wake up, I'm gone when she gets home, and she's asleep when I get home.  This leaves for very little in the way of interaction.  

Fortunately, the oven has an on/off timer which allows for hot dinners to be ready, and she made me some awesome Wife Soup just the other day which is currently warming my tummy.  To top it off, one of the big whiteboards has moved into the kitchen where we can leave each other love notes and whatnot.

I Don't Usually Post About Work, But...

What sort of IDIOT teaches karate to paranoid schizophrenic?

...We Apologize for the Interruption.

  Things have been a bit busy here at Casa Ted, so I apologize to all my faithful readers who've been starved for news.  Let me explain...No, there is too much.  Let me sum up:

• spent a bunch of money I don't have (yet) doing urgent repairs to the new house
• spent slightly more money installing a hot tub (well, the contractor was here anyway)
• computer died, I'm typing at you from my new macbook (apple products make The Wife happy)
• got into car accident.  No injuries, cosmetic damage only to other vehicle buy my mighty Trogdor is all busticated...I should get it back from the body shop in about 5 more days.

It's kind of ironic.  Usually I'm doing about 10-15 mph over the speed limit, tailgating, and talking on my cell phone while I drive, and I have no problems.  Right before the accident I was doing the speed limit, maintaining a 2-3 second following distance, not being distracted, and keeping my hands at 10 and 2 on the steering wheel.  Why is it I only get in trouble when I'm being good?
