Have some whine with that...
Really, I should be delighted. After nearly 4 months of jobless-lounging-around-messing-up-the-house-lassitude, my youngest stepson has landed a very well-paying job. This is a good thing. Now he can pay back his various loans, contribute to his day-to-day expenses and not be a source of concern to his dad and me.
The only fly in this proverbial ointment? He needs a car. I live exactly 4 minutes from my work (by car, at least), which means the car that gets borrowed is mine. I drive to work, son picks up my car and usually Grant picks me up. But I hate being on someone else's schedule. I would like to leave when I want to and not have to wait around. I would like to go to the store right after work, and pick up the groceries we need. And more importantly, I want to be able to go to the wholesaler's warehouse over in Mississauga and check our their pashminas that I can buy for about $12 each. I want a pashmina to wrap around me now that the snow is falling and I want to buy a whole bunch of Christmas presents and I want to do it yesterday!
And since it's Thanksgiving (the real one), I want pie.

Okay, I don't want to sound bitchy (always followed by a bitchy statement) - but he can lease his own damned car. I mean, he can get a new Hyundai basic for under $200 a month, taxes and all. Or something similar.
Yeah. You get to go look at pashminas. And if this works, I'd like a pretty green one.
