Are donuts worth it?
So I was waiting in line at a local donut shop this morning waiting to buy some breakfast for my staff when the only employee (she looked about 60) was talking to the lady customer (she looked about 40) before me.
I was getting irritated because a) it was after 8:00 already, and b) she couldn't actually get the woman's order AND talk, she'd stop to talk then continue fulfilling her order, and c) the customer didn’t give a rat’s ass about the employee and wanted to get the hell out of there too.
Employee: Did you see the woman who just left? That was my sister, and I had a foot surgery a few weeks ago and she doesn’t even care! She’s always on my case and dresses me down.
Customer (disinterested): Yeah?
Employee: She always did and now it’s even worse and when I don’t do something she wants she says “I’ll get Mom on you!” and then I go ahead and do it. If my foot didn’t hurt so much I’d take her down!
Customer: Your grown woman of a sister siccing your mother on you—another grown woman?
Employee: Yeah, and my sister does! She tells Mom on me!
Customer: Why should you care what your mother says about you two bickering? You’re a grown person.
Employee (looks like she’s thinking about it): Hm, I dunno.
I was saying beneath my breath “Oh good God already!”
I just wanted some freaking donuts and I wander in on a fucking Dr. Phil session.

Bling
I was reading InStyle magazine and there was an advertisement for this watch "The Manhattan" by Jacob & Co.,. It's a limited edition and I can't even find the price--it's 18K with 50 million diamonds so I'm sure it's pricey. You can't tell from this particular picture, but the watch has words like "5Th Avenue" "Park Avenue" "Wall Street" and "Times Square" on it. I'd like to see it in person. It's described as a man's watch, but hell, if you want to buy it for me, I'll wear it. Thanks.

It's Sunday and I didn't do a damned thing.
Got up at 9am and read the paper on the porch. Didn't even make coffee or go for coffee.
I saw a lot of open houses listed and was going to check out a few just for the heck of it, but was too lazy.
LP got up at 11, and BP finally got up at noon and went out to fix the Kia--it was running rough.
I washed a load of towels.
LP & I went to the grocery store and I made tacos for dinner. We also bought stuff to make milk shakes later.
