Because it's always funny when someone sucks on some helium and says "Hello"

mmmmm and arrrgh

.

It is rare, very rare that you will read or hear me complaining about Larry. This is one of those rare moments. Today, Home Depot delivered what will soon be a nice little wooden fence for the pups. They will have their own little corner of the yard, and we will have the rest. After they left, Hannah and I went on to do the lunch thing, of course, HB Steakhouse.

I need gas, I stop, walk in (because my stripe is gone on my card) and she keys it in. It's declined. Try it again, declined.

I call Larry. Did you cancel it yesterday? No, you can only cancel it online. OK, well, I will try another station and if it doesn't work, hopefully Hannah & I can get home.

This is where he starts laying into me about letting it get that low, how I never worry about anything and he prepares for worst case scenario. I'm floored. Where did this come from? I ask him, that has NOTHING to do with my card not working, I'm so frustrated that I just hang up on him. What a freaking ASS.

I go to another station, it works (I knew I had money in there) I get the gas and Hannah and I are back on track. We go to lunch, and I knew Larry had not transferred my weekly allowance, so I send him a text message. We are eating and he calls Hannahs phone. He wants to make sure we got the gas. An hour later. We could have been stranded on the side of the road for an hour in 1000 degree heat. But we weren't, we were having a nice lunch.

She gives the phone to me. Why did you call Hannah? You hung up on me, I figured you didn't want to talk to me. I just don't understand why me not worrying has anything to do with gas? I know, I'm sorry, I'm just frustrated with everything right now. OK, I can deal with grumpy, but not when I haven't done anything wrong.

He transfers the money and Hannah & I continue on with our day. Stop by the mall to get her some shorts, then on to the salon. My hands and feet, just her hands. I was in heaven, just what I needed. I didn't get the facial, I put that money towards the gift card for my neighbors. I feel sooooo bad for them, their house is gone, their car is gone, they have 2 babies.

The block party/benefit is tonight at 6:30. I will be getting info on donations for them and pass it out at work, also let Jeff know. He is the deacon of the church and I'm hoping they can help as well.

Larry is a wonderful, awesome, patient man. But he can really be a dick sometimes....
