I got notice that my employer screwed something up on my W-2, so they're going to send a revised one.  Which means I have to submit an amended tax return.  Don't expect it to have a big financial impact, but JEEZUS what a pain in the ass.

You're in Wheaton? We should hang out. I am in the next town over.

My wife, on the other hand, drove from here to St. Louis today.

I am trying to think of a good story to tell my girlfriend/her parents other than "I am hanging out with a dude from the internet."

I am sure there will be one night this week where she does Girl Things with her friend who is coming, but I also want to meet up with my other friend who lives in Chicago.

But we will do this.

It's cool. I had thought of this and was pretty much making an empty threat. Let me know if you do have time, though.

Oh god those tropical pictures are insaaaaane. I am so jealous. I hope your vacation is incredibly relaxing and fun.

I am petsitting for some friends of mine. I would like to say that their cat is inconsiderate and does not even have the common decency to flush the kitty toilet. Heinous.

On Monday, I removed a leaky, outdated, water-guzzling toilet and replaced it with a more efficient model. I also swapped out the leaky faucet for the one we removed from the bathroom we remodeled -- it's old, but it works fine. Hopefully this will be sufficient to see a drop in our water bill.

When my dad heard from Mom that I'd successfully replaced the commode without his help (or anyone else's, for that matter), he called me and talked around the fact that he's proud of me for almost five whole minutes, while I demurred the not-quite-compliments he was offering. It went kind of like this:

J: "Hello?"
D: "So, I hear you're a plumber now."
J: "Well, you only have to know four things to be a plumber."
D: "That's true, and now you must know at least five."
J: "It wasn't that hard, I just followed the instructions in the box."
D: "That's more than most people can do."
J: "There were pictures."

etc.

You need to understand: my father never, ever calls me on the phone just to chat. The only time he ever dials my number is when he's dropping by to fix something, drop something off, or pick something up -- and half the time, he makes my mom call for that.

So getting a call from Dad so that we could chat about my new toilet made me feel like a Handymom Diva-Princess. IMMD.

Let's see, a new toilet? 

Unbolt old toilet, detach water line from back, remove.

Remove old wax ring, replace, seat toilet, bolt down, reattach water line.

Good stuff.  Like you say, it's so rewarding discovering new stuff you can do all by yourself.
