Even the plumber doesn't have a Sugar Momma

The Boss Lady has gone absolutely freaking mad. And I love it.

She drove a few blocks away on Wednesday to drop off The Talker at a play date. Then she disappeared for a couple of hours. I wondered what she was up to when I noticed that she had taken my car instead of the Beetle.

Turns out cleaning this woman's bathroom is a profitable venture. The plumber who charged us $360 an hour on Monday has nothing on me. The lot where we bought my car is clearing out the last of their 2007s. And they are doing it with 0% financing and rebates to boot. She drove away with a brand new, more nicely equipped Vue V6 with less than 100 miles on it for the same payment as our 25K mile, 18 month old ride. Ca-Ching!

The sad part, I put the dealership through heck last year, looking for a black or blue Vue with tan interior. 'Cause they were really purty. A little too purty, in fact. When they finally found one, I decided against it since the kids would have it dirty too fast. Back then we settled on the silver one.


Now, sitting in my driveway is the exact black ride I longed for back then. Tan interior included. Time to get out the cleaning rags. And for the record, The Talker is totally anti-Black Beauty. He wants "the silver Saturn back, NOW!" 'Cause the new car smells funny and it isn't the same one..."


But what I wonder now is, if The Boss Lady rewards a clean bathroom this way, what do you think she'll do if I wash her car for her? And more importantly, do you guys think she is just trying to get away with not buying me a birthday present next month?
