Oddities of Life and Tax Season
I Shot the Sheriff
I think urban legends are afoot. USAToday is running a report from two men who claim to have accidentally “peppered” Vice President Cheney in a hunting accident all their own several years ago. Is it a contest now to see who’s shot someone famous before? I frequently shoot myself accidentally with rubber bands. Does that count?
Know What I Mean?
Do you ever just have inexplicable urges to do something senseless? I do. Occasionally I have one of those “hey y’all watch this” moments, which usually ends up requiring duct tape or stitches. Recently, I’ve done a pretty good job of containing myself.
Like the other day, I was in the middle of the car wash and suddenly had this near-uncontrollable urge to roll my window down. Don’t ask me why. Just seemed like a fun idea at the time. However, I was strong and resisted the great temptation to try it.
But other times I’m not so self-restrained when it comes to these brain flashes. The other day I was trying to quickly get laundry on before racing out the door to church. So to “save time” I decided to go ahead and run the water while I was decidubg what to wash. Friends, have you ever tried to load an extra-large load of clothes after you’ve already run the water? Let’s just say that clothes don’t sink as easily as you would think.
The Morale of the Story
Even with a limitless supply of duct tape on hand, it’s usually better to think things through before embarking on what seems like a fun idea. (This is one of those “do as I say, not as I do” moments.)
Everybody’s Favorite Uncle
Given my “as I say, not do” motto of the day, you need to be aware that tax season is here. I don’t think there’s enough duct tape in the world to get me out of this one. Sharpen your pencils, charge your calculators, and stock up on paper clips. The countdown has begun, and blogging fodder is born of my misery. Stay tuned for Lee Ann’s fun-filled adventures with the IRS!
