Whodunits, XY Egos -and- Chauffeuring

This is just a rant page. I had expected to do a lot of reading and finish up my third series of Twilight, which is by the way titled “Eclipse.”
Twilight, pretty much covers what one male reader of mine said perfectly,
“First time they see each other, boom! Love! Age, race, sex – who cares, lighting still strikes!”
Coming from a guy, it’s amazing to hear something like that, I guess. I dunno. I do wonder, how discussions about books end up with both sexes when it comes to love, sex and hmmm, cars, for example.
New Moon brings complexity to Bella’s life. Like, for example, when someone you love suddenly disappears out of self-lessness, the pain is so great that It could render the person zombie-like. Then, there’s more complexity with the wolves and a creepy coven and more!
Eclipse covers the danger surrounding Bella. Bella invites danger unintentionally, not to mention, also bringing danger to the people she loves. Can one be self-less yet selfish, ah, but of course. With love, that’s possible. I’m just two chapters away. Every time I opened up the book, I got interrupted. Damn! Anyhow, I will write a full review later and I hope to be able pull it off, the review, that is.

So, here’s the rant! I had to make an hour round trip twice today. I headed out to do some errand in a not too distant city and went shopping among other things. Plan changed, the husband decided he wanted in on this trip. The check light came on which only made our whole trip uneventful since I had to deal with a panic stricken husband who wouldn’t hear any of the theory I may have that may be true. “I read the whole manual.” I told him. “I’m pretty sure it’s because you forgot to screw and lock that gas cap.” Male egos usually don’t put up with anything that gives them the idea that they’re at fault. I don’t know if this is a guy thing for every guy, but, It was kind of irritating when one would NOT even consider that even a gal could be right, ya know? So, we go back and forth with him thinking I’m some bimbo that knows nothing about cars. We ended up at a dealer where we bough our vehicle which happened to be on the way. And, sure enough, this mechanic told him exactly what I said. So much for not acknowledging that even the wifey does know her shit. So, I was more than happy to drop him off at one of his buddies house so I can take a break from all that.
I probably spend a good two hour shopping and window shopping and people watching. I got the fourth series too! Breaking Dawn. Whoo!
Finally, I dutifully picked up my husband who’s disappointed the team he was watching on TV lost.

Then as soon as I got home, I had to deal with whodunits. Do whodunits really exist, or are they just a figment of our imagination? I had bought something that was for everyone and since my other kid wasn’t home, I made sure there was one left for her. Everyone acknowledged it and then because I went to bed in the wee hours of the morning, I also got up very early too, I decided to take a nap. By the time I woke up, my kid calls, asking me to pick her up. I checked to make sure there’s one of that stuff out for her, but it was gone! So, I asked suspect number one if he took it, “nope!” he says, suspect number two said “Not me” and suspect number 3 said “Not I.” At that point, I’m like, what? whodunit bandit struck again? “This is bullshit,” I said to myself. Then, I made a comment off handly, noting that perhaps I should move out and live on my own, so I don’t have to deal with whodunits anymore. “You wouldn’t do that.” they say. “I know the person doesn’t exists, okay?,” I tell them.

And then, I went to get my other kid and did a bit of an errand to get her a replacement of the same item that the whodunit stole. Drove back home, did a bit of a chore here and there. Checked out some stuffs online, goofed off with the dogs, pampered the cats, and then as I was just about to open and finish up that two chapters of Eclipse I had left to read, I get a phone call from my other kid begging me to drive him out to this town I just went to earlier today since he was supposed to help his friend out tomorrow. He had just hung out at the town bar and didn’t want to drive. That’s another hour of driving and I was like, “Aww, I just got back, not too long ago.” He was begging and promised he’d give me some gas money. “It’s not the gas money,” I tell him. “I’m tired.” Finally, he said, “Mom, we’d have fun!” I’m like “ok, ok, fine.” I went and got him and headed out of town. So, I’m ranting about all of the above, but with additional details that isn’t for anyone’s eyes or ears. He was laughing. I was telling him what I thought of the situation and all. By the time I got to the Whodunits, He was laughing so hard. Male egos and whodunits are the two things that can drive a woman crazy. So, we had fun. We did. We listened to some music and danced to it. It was great talking to my oldest kid and it kind of made things all better. Sometimes, ya just gotta let it all out, rant and then, it’s all irrelevant and then, all’s good.
So, anyway, it’s late. Jimmy Jack Corn and I don’t care, OK?
I’m gonna finish up Eclipse right NOW and then, I’m gonna start reading breaking dawn when the dawn breaks.
Day N Nite by Kid Cudi vs Krookers with lyrics




























You’re going to read Breaking Dawn as dawn breaks. Excellent! That’s exactly what I did. I was still reading Eclipse the day Breaking Dawn came out. I read all night to finish it. My intent was to go to bed and start fresh in the morning with the new book. But when I finished I noticed dawn was breaking. I just had to!
Guess what…..Paotie’s twilight gang have convinced me to read the first one of the four series! Just start reading!
Just don’t tell me all the details until I finish reading all the series!
My older daughter just began going out to sleepovers a-lot! That’s what the teens are all about……few more years from now I am *not* looking forward having her to get a permit driving license! Insurance sucks!
I’m not gonna deal with “not me” relating to whodunit!
Change the subject: Just saw “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” trailer movie and looks pretty cool with the nifty special and sound effects. Looking forward to watching this July!
‘86 Rabbit, What better way to start Breaking Dawn! Awesome.
White Ghost, Welcome to the Twilight Club! You will not regret it.
I have a lot of whodunits at my house– and there’s only me and hubby. Oh, yeah, that damn dog! The dog… AAARGGH!
Ann_C
Ann_C, LOL well, I’ll tell you one thing for sure, when it comes to whodunits, humans are more annoying than animals. At least, with mine, they all look so adorable, it’s hard not to get annoyed with them. lol I hope you get your dog trained!
I made the bed this morning and no more than turned around again, and it’s unmade.
I left my sandals on the floor last night and this morning they’re chewed apart.
I potted some plants outside yesterday and today they’re all dug out.
I took the trash out the day before that and no more than turned my head, and spotted her speeding down the street.
That’s the dog for ya.
I tell her she’s going in the trash can if she can’t behave.
Then she stands stock-still at me with those gooey brown eyes with the black eyebrows in a quizzical worried fashion and cocks her head at me.
*groan*
LOL
“Then she stands stock-still at me with those gooey brown eyes with the black eyebrows in a quizzical worried fashion and cocks her head at me. ”
How can one not be annoyed by that? lol
Jimmy Cracked corn and we don’t care!
HaHa!
Well, Candy .. here is something for you today:
“Behind every good man stands a better woman.”
Or something like that.
I liked this article – cool beans!
Paotie
Paotie,
Yes, exactly. Here’s the quote as I understand it, “Behind every great man, is a great woman” which translate into this:
Men that want to be great, should be valuing their woman’s input.
haha!
Ahhhhh! Here they are! Wolf Pack!

Whoo! I’m reading half way to go on Twilight! Kids have bugged me to keep ourselves busy! Ugh!
Hi WG,
I hate interruptions when I read, so I try to get everyone what they need before I actually open the book.
Hard, but possible to some degree. lol
I’m 2/3 way through Breaking Dawn. So much emotions overcame me reading this book. Ahh, I really got myself drawn into it big time.
LOL! Great post and great comments!
Whodunit? Is that another name for “Brian”? *Looking it up in the dictionary* Can’t find it!! Let me go ask Karen. Every time, ok I’ll be nice, most of the time, if something goes missing (especially food), the blame is on whodunit! Whodunit has a shit fit every time too cuz most often it is not whodunit fault, but still whodunit gets the blame…. *groan*
Women know shit about cars?!
Not only is that true, but they also know how to get the man to do it for them! True story! My sister is the perfect example: She was/is one hell of a mechanic, Master Mechanic, in fact. But she also knew how to get the guys to give her parts. I won’t theorized how she did the trade, but… I can tell you that she only spent maybe a grand total of 1500 bucks for a ‘67 Dodge Charger – 383 Magnum 6 pack rodster! Paint job, wheel, engine and all! Another story for another day.
Ann_C: LOL! Is dog you have like “Marley & Me”?
Did people say kids? *Getting the dictionary again* Oh those! Yea, I got two of them and things are getting out of hand, but I still can’t live without them. And thinking that I have only 10 more years with them scares the shit out of me!
LOL Brian,
I think Ann has Marley.
Never underestimate a woman, when it comes to cars!
I’m done with Breaking Dawn. The last book was the best! For me, anyway. Very intensely emotional and the ending was sweet. Can you say, Forever?
Have a great weekend! I love this weather!
