Nice. Aside from once more leaving the house later than I wanted to. You know, in the future, when people say “the late Terry Oglesby,” whoever they say it to will shrug and say, “Was he ever on time?!” Well, friends, yes, at one time he used to not only be on time, but early for every appointment. Then he married a woman whose sense of time is God-like--in that with her a day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day. Or more to the point--if you have to be somewhere at 9:00, said wife seems to think a person can walk out the door at 8:59:36 and be considered on time.
Which is fine if stuff like that doesn’t bother you, but it does drive your loving husband absolutely insane. But, only on the inside--he wouldn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings by saying such things out loud. He just sighs loudly, and often.
ANYway, we got to church with seconds to spare, went to class, went to preaching, went to lunch, went to home, didn’t do too much other than type on someone’s research paper, went back to church for an early meeting, went to preaching, went home, and then furiously dialed up Ebay to bid on a primo, uncracked dashboard assembly for the Volvo!
I got a quote the other day for one of these from a dealer--six and a quarter. I don’t love my Volvo that much. Maybe a couple hundred dollars worth, at most. But it sure will be nice to have something that doesn’t look like a relief map of Charles Bronson’s face in front of me while I drive.
Supper, reading, and then to bed.
And that, my friends, is just about that.
Posted by Terry Oglesby at August 8, 2005 04:44 PMWe're always late for church and most other things too. Justin and I were usually mostly on time or early before we had children. Justin likes to blame me for making us late to things, but oddly enough, though it isn't actually his fault, when I have to be somewhere with the children and he isn't around, we usually aren't late.
