Grounded

So last night Dan and I went to get our Taxes done. I know, we're late and that is an even LONGER story. We decided to go with a friend of the Poen's as we didn't get any tax info for Dan's trust. I must admit it was cheaper than what we've paid in the past few years, but it was still pricier than I had hoped. I suppose if you are going to have a professional do it, $85.00 shouldn't be that bad. the depressing part is that he totally proved my tax skillz wrong and we are NOT getting a $5,000.00 refund. BOOOO! BUT... we are getting a refund. So I suppose I can't complain too loudly. Still..... I had dreams for that $5K.

After the tax issues, we decided to go out to dinner. We decided to go to WingNutz in West Valley. I have to admit that I like their place a lot better than the one at the District.

We took in our Kindles. I LOVE my Kindle. The only problem is that I so don't want to carry a paperback around now, but it's pricey to buy books on the Kindle that I already own.

Anyway, after explaining to Dan the way the English Monarchy works. (why Prince Phillip is not King, Camilla will not be Queen, Kate is a Duchess, and if Will and Kate have only Girls the oldest will be Queen and her hubby can only aspire as high as Prince.)

So after a tasty dinner and some pretty good live singing from the guitar guy there, we headed home. We got there and Dan took the trash cans to the middle of the Cul-de-sac. He placed his Black covered Kindle on my black colored car, and dragged the trash can as well as the recycle can out.

Guess who forgot to grab their $200.00 Kindle off of my car??????

This morning I walked out the door and down the steps when I came to a stop as I viewed the back of Flaming Bob the very Black Honda. There where he put it was Dan's Kindle. Of course it had rained that night into morning and the cover was soaked. However the devise itself was working fine. A little slow due to the cold, but otherwise working very well. Whew.

I picked it up and wiped it off. I took it to Dan's car Chuck and put it on the passenger seat. Then I got in Bob and sent Dan a text message telling him he is grounded from his Kindle.

Later at work he sent me an email on how mortified he was that he left it there, and how lucky he felt that it was still there and not damaged. Guess that $50.00 cover I bought was worth the price.
