Funny mom quote of the day

I'm thinking about taking my nephews to Crankworx in Whistler next month...waitaminute...this month! How did it get to be August already? Zoinks!

I don't know why I'm thinking about doing this especially on a day like today when I'd put the crank in Crankworx. I hate children. I hate driving. I really hate long drives with yappy children in the backseat, wandering around crowded festivals where bottles of water cost 6 bucks then getting back into the car and driving some more. Plus gas has been so reasonably priced lately. I've filled up my car TWICE this week. Guess why? Because I've been super busy and doing lots of running around? Nope! I work from home, silly! I've had to fill up twice because gas has been fucking siphoned out of my motherfucking car TWICE this week.

Do they still sell locking gas caps, btw? I remember a girlfriend of mine had a locking one on her old VW Rabbit. I predict they're about to make a comeback.

Anyway, my nephews are into mountain biking, I haven't been to Whistler since my grade 12 ski trip and clearly I could use some karma points. As I'm telling my mom about this & wondering aloud if I should just get a hotel room so I don't have to do all the driving on one single day she says, "Oh you'll never be able to get a hotel room! The Olympics start next week!!"

Ummm...the Olympics that are in China? Yeah, I can see how easy that would be to confuse with the winter Olympics that happen in Vancouver. Two years from now.
