I bought Josh a bottle of Jim Bean for christmas because I was truly dry on ideas.
I then drove home, got out of my car, and dropped it on my driveway.
I then sat on my driveway and cried because it had been a very long day, and although I could see the humour in the situation, I wasn't prepared to laugh at $40 worth of alcohol snaking along the cracks in my asphalt.
My driveway smelt like bourbon for the rest of the day and my family found it hilarious. Dad suggested I collect the broken glass and give that to Josh, he said it may be a sign I should buy more constructive presents. I went and bought the $33 bottle instead.
I'm going to explain to Josh why he got the small one, so he will know I'm not a cheap arse. I bought him a stupid pirate action figure too as a joke.. that's enough.
Later on that day I was on the phone to Josh , while washing dishes.... and I dropped the phone into the sink.
Josh said all he heard was an "oh no..." followed by some rather strange muffled squealing noises (the phone not me).. and then it cut out.
It was totally one of those days.
Fortunately, Dad managed to fix the house phone after airing it out in the linen cupboard overnight and doing some fiddling.
Also I found a $5 note on the ground at Albany. That was awesome because that NEVER happens to me. Obviously someone realised I had had enough for one day. :P
