I would like to note that the man who was responsible for this had his conviction appeals denied today. Fuck you buddy, fuck you buddy. I hope your life in prison is long and like swallowing broken glass.

We obtained a small inflatable pool for the backyard. It is possibly one of the greatest things ever. I am hiding in the pool! I spent a bit of my afternoon blissfully floating. The top couple inches of water were rather warm from early during the day when it is under direct sunlight. I added a tiny bit of fresh water, scooped off the numerous blossoms from the crepe myrtle and added some frozen water balloons. They were quite effective at cooling the water, and it was sort of fun to play with them bobbing around the pool. My idyll was cut short when a spider landed on my glasses. Right. By. My. Eye. While I bravely did not scream, I did fling my glasses away with some force. Frankly I'm surprised they are intact.
So we ordered a very large and very expensive item to be shipped to us. Part of the reason we ordered this online was because it was not something we could easily brought home and the price was a factor. A large box arrived on our door step today. However, once we opened the box we discovered that the item in the box was not anything like what we ordered. In fact, it is a totally different item. Apparently we are not the only person with this problem, and their warehouse is in some chaos. Argh. Mike is re-packing the box. In theory UPS will take it away as mysteriously as they left it on the doorstep.
I can't be the only one who hates those freecreditreportdotcom commercials, can I? It's the guy singing, and the smug look on his face. I also hate, hate, hate one of their early commercials where he sings about how he wouldn't have married his dream girl if he knew her credit score. Ugh. That's a terrible thing to say, I think.

Wow. Just wow. So if you're a "private" club, you're allowed to discriminate all you want. Way to Go Valley Swim Club and John Duesler - nothing shows off your superiority like kicking a bunch of kids out of the pool. More like John Douchebag.
