Ok, in 20 minutes my workday is done and I head home.

Somebody remind me to pick up some batteries on my way home, ok? And food. If I don’t buy some food I’ll be reduced to eating the left-over Meow Mix tonight from when I owned a cat. And milk. Remind me to buy some milk. I need milk or else I’ll be greatly disappointed in the morning when I want to eat some CoCoa Pebbles for breakfast.

Oh yeah, remind me to buy some Cocoa Pebbles, cuz I’m fresh out of cereal at my place.

Ok, thanks everyone. I love you, buh-bye!

[sub]Good God, I need a nap. See how I act on only 5 hours sleep?[/sub]

Oh yeah, I need beer too. In case I forget to buy food, I’ll need the beer to make eating the Meow-Mix bearable.

If you remember to bring over some beer, you can come over for homemade soup, too. I care about you THAT MUCH!

Anyway, don’t forget milk. 😉

:Keanu Voice: Woah! :Keanu Voice:

You mean you can sleep more than 5 hours in a stretch? In one night? Dude!

I know you can’t do it with two toddlers. 😃

Oh yeah, don’t forget all this crap.

Well, CF, did you remember to buy batteries, food, milk, Cocoa Pebbles and beer?

If not, you can just turn around and march yourself right back to the store. _Now_, Mister. Or else you’ll be eating Meow Mix for dinner.
