Today was nice and cool and rainy. Perfect (and more normal) spring weather. Yesterday during the heat, the middle and youngest kiddies and i walked 2.5 km EACH WAY on the trail that runs behind the house. The middle under his own steam and the youngest in a backpack on my back. Felt fine afterwards, until i stopped moving. Now my hips are killing me. Got to adjust the straps before i use it again.
Tomorrow i think that dad and i are going to run to IKEA to get my new bed...provided that it will fit in the back of my truck. *crosses her fingers* Last time mom was at IKEA, she measured the 4 boxes that it comes in but we haven't measured said truck yet. I got a call today from my 4-pack dog family and i am dog-sitting for them on Tuesday night. I can always use an extra $75 bucks! Today is March 23 and here is today's joke:
The Hotel Bill
An older lady decided to give herself a big treat for her significant
70th birthday by staying overnight in an expensive hotel.
When she checked out next morning, the desk clerk handed her a bill for
$250.00.
She exploded and demanded to know why the charge was so high. "It's a
nice hotel but the rooms certainly aren't worth $250.00 for just an
overnight stay! I didn't even have breakfast."
The clerk told her that $250.00 is the 'standard rate', so she
insisted on speaking to the Manager.
The Manager appeared and, forewarned by the desk clerk, announced:
"This hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference centre
which are available for use."
"But I didn't use them," she said.
''Well, they are here, and you could have," explained the Manager.
He went on to explain that she could also have seen one of the
in-hotel shows for which the hotel is famous. "We have the best
entertainers from the world over performing here," the Manager said.
"But I didn't go to any of those shows," she said.
"Well, we have them, and you could have," the Manager replied.
No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, she replied, "But I didn't use it!" and the Manager countered with his standard response.
After several minutes discussion with the Manager unmoved, she decided to pay, wrote a check and gave it to him.
The Manager was surprised when he looked at the check. "But madam, this check is for only $50.00."
"That's correct. I charged you $200.00 for sleeping with me," she replied.
"But I didn't!" exclaims the very surprised Manager.
"Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."
see you tomorrow!
