Another reason why I'm not posting so much, besides the cutting back on surfing whilst at work, is that I feel like I'm getting a little repetitive with my whinging about money money money. We're closing out Year Three of our Second Salad Days, and while The Mister and I continue to tread water well enough, there have been many things we've just had to give up in order to meet those subsistence expenditures (and yes, "taco truck dining" does factor in to the budget... we have our priorities!).
I just got another not-so-veiled allusion to how we are letting our nieces down by not going Back East again for Christmas this year. I am thisclose to telling all those emotional blackmailers that if they want our magical, child-distracting presence during specific high-traffic times of the year, that they should organize a pool to get our broke asses out there.
Ugh. That's a little too harsh, I suppose. I think I'll use all this (negative) energy to put together a nice care package of homemade goodness for them instead.
'Cause that's how this PAAW* rolls, y'all. Killin' 'em with kindness.
