So, I need to do this more often
So, it's Memorial Day weekend, and I really hate it when people start an entire conversation with the word "so," but I wanted to see what it looks like in print. Just as I thought, it sucks in print, too.
So I'm looking forward to having 3 days to finally get some stuff done around the house. PepperCam needs to be installed, the lawn needs to get mowed, the tomatoes need to be planted, I want to make a geocaching run with my 8-year old (note to self - check how old he was when I first posted here), and of course, there's eleven loads of laundry to do. So I find out that we're babysitting the niece and nephew (5-ish and 3-ish? something like that). The best part is this is the weekend my nephew is getting potty-trained! And why is that my problem? I vowed going in to avoid all participation with the process. I couldn't avoid everything, but I did limit myself to "Honey, your nephew doesn't need to pee anymore!" and "Honey, your nephew managed to not poop on the grass, but you might want to change his pants!"
Sort of pissed me off (no pun intended) (OK, pun intended).
So, I'll never use "So" to start a sentence again.
