It will be most probably be late summer or early fall before we get it because we have to wait until I can drive and we reach a settlement. However, it is something to look forward to. Neither of us has had a new car in well over a decade.

Till then, it'll be fun looking on car sites and deciding which one you'd buy, if you were buying now.

Some idiot coder made a mistake years ago that's coming back to bite us, so I'm gonna be working real late tonight. But I'm at home, in my own office, drinking wine and listening to Amy Winehouse, and I'll sleep in. Life ain't that bad.

Very true. We've already driven through a couple of new car lots just to see what was available.  :D

As long as I could work from home, I was usually happy.  PJs and fuzzy slippers could make even a quarterly report a breeze.

I would love more than anything to work from home. Unfortunately I've yet to find a career that lends itself to it... Other than the petsitting, which was more having your home slowly destroyed without any rest.

4 more hours left in my work week!

So, Cinnamon bun flavored Oreos are a thing - and they are wonderful!  ;D

I got a pack of those a couple of weeks ago, but am yet to open them. Good to hear they are worth it!

How do you do that! I'd have to try one just to see what it was like!

I don't know, I am very routine with my schedules as of late. That includes what I eat. Trying something new is simply not a part of that routine, and thus it can be hard to get me to do it.

I think it took me a couple of months to get around to trying the Pumpkin Spice kind, and I didn't even like it. lol

Oreos are the vilest of biscuits. The biscuit is like grit and the creme is just I don't know what as there is practically no flavour. Biscuits are one of the worst forms of confectionery anyway so Oreos being low down on that list makes them pretty damn bad.

What?! When I think of what you're describing, I think more of wafers. Those things are tasteless collections of sugar. I can't stand them... But Oreos? Those are delicious. Especially the original chocolate ones.

Chocolate? They taste nothing like chocolate, vile. Waffers are gross as well as are custard creams and bourbons (at least they taste a bit like chocolate).

Taste like chocolate to me, although I don't have much experience with chocolate cookies.

Custard creams? What are those? I love custard, so that sounds good!
