I'm super stoked!

[finn's mom]

Hey, everyone! Look at my ticker! Ben gets here tomorrow! WOO HOO! And, I got my tax refund back finally! Over $800! YAY! Not that I get to actually spend it on anything fun, but, that's ok, it's better than the $4 I had in the bank. Anyway, I'm just excited, and, I wanted to share it with you guys. Finn will be so happy, he and Ben are friends. Ok, I'm done being a dork.

Kari, I was gonna make a post for you to wish you luck, but you beat me. lol

Have a great time with Ben and don't forget to post a picture of him.

Oops, must have missed something... ! Who is Ben ? Another pet?;
He he, it must be great to get such a tax-refund!!

[petslover]

I'm really happy for you and 800 dollars is always a plus!

Nah, Ben's a boy! He's a cool boy, too, and, I really like him. Ha ha, sorry, the whole thing is just so crazy and cheesy, it makes me laugh at myself all the time. And, yeah, it's fantastic to get such a good refund. I owe it out already, but, that's ok. I might be able to spend a little bit on myself. Eh, probably not, but, it will be nice to pay my dad back. But, I think Dad will let me use some of it to buy brakes for my car, as Ben is going to fix them for me while he's visiting. I hate to make him work while he's on vacation, but, he said it's no big deal. I'll have to go to some training and testing while he's here anyway, so, maybe he can do it then.

Aw, thanks, Dawn! You're so thoughtful! I have a photo of him already online, but, it's just not very representative of him now, as it is a few years old and he has a mohawk and a funny beard, and, he is cleanshaven with an all over short haircut now. Quite a difference! I'll get some of him with Finn!

Ha ha, it's so ridiculous. I'm like a spastic butterfly. I'm trying to keep calm, though, I don't want my dad to worry about my sanity. Not that he thinks I'm normal, but, anyway. And, I wrote it that way "and, I really like him", because I feel like a goofy kid, it was supposed to make you laugh. And, I'm glad it worked! I know I needed a laugh, yesterday was rough!

Do you have everything ready for him...like a clean house and stuff?

Of course! My mother is the type of woman that will clean a place before the cleaning people come. Not that we can afford that luxury, but, she's had it done a couple of times in her life. My allergies were killing me from dusting the room I'm in. It's where my parents keep their DVDs and VHS tapes (which they have about 4000 titles) on bookshelves. Those aren't too hard to do, but, my dad collects beer steins and model cars, so, they're a royal pain! ANd, they're all over the bookshelves. I'm studying more today, and, for "breaks", I'm cleaning the bathroom and my car. Not really fun breaks, but, anything other than reading about insurance at that point will be welcome, I'm sure.

I agree with Dawn you are too cute! I hope you guys have a great time with each other. I cant wait to see pictures of him.

Congrats on the income tax refund. We had to pay into the good old IRS this year.

[PJ's Mom]

It's probably best if you stay busy...you know use up all that nervous energy and stuff.

[finn's mom]

I'm also hoping to go to the liquor store and pick up some of the beer Ben drinks. It's a Texas brew, so, it is not available at a gas station around here, but, there's a HUGE "beverage warehouse" just about five minutes from here, so, I can get the beer from there. He's not a big drinker, though, so, I won't have to get a lot. And, I've found a couple of places to go and play some pool, too. And, we're making plans to spend a couple of nights on the beach near Charleston. That will be nice, just walking on the beach and going out in Charleston at night. I'm looking forward to that!

My face hurts from smiling. You guys are making me even more excited!

That sucks that you had to pay. I've never really made enough money to pay. So, I don't know, I guess it's six in one hand, half a dozen in the other, right? However that saying goes....They'll get ya one way or the other.

Good grief, yes. I'm considering bathing Finn, too. But, then again, maybe not. I don't know if I have that much energy. And, it's not like he's bad in the bath, we just don't have a mobile shower head here, I need to get one of those pet bath attachment things first.
