11:14 AM - Nice weekend but weird

The tax return arrived so shortly Luke and I will be ordering my new computer.  I am getting so excited about getting a new Intel Mac Pro!

Luke sort of had a crappy weekend in other ways.  He was working on a programming assignment with very vague specifications.  Plus his grandmother was at his aunt's house, and he really felt like they sort of brushed him off.  The history between Luke and his family is way too complex to describe in a blog entry.  Though I tend to walk around with this feeling that at one time I didn't help the situation, however nothing I can do at this point can really influence the situation.

Luke's dad "bought" a new car.  By "bought" I mean Luke's grandmother gave him the money since the man has been out of work for a year and a half (minus some very, very short term employment).

It's really sad.  Luke and I have completely paid for our last two cars (we took sole responsibility for payments).

Luke's Buick we paid for half of it (the other half was a wedding gift).  The 96 Saturn was a graduation gift.  The 98 Saturn we took a loan out for and the 2005 Ion we got a lease (and make the payments all by ourselves).

Luke is his father's son and is more of an adult.  His dad bitches and moans about his situation.  "I can't get a good paying job without a degree" - Ok, go get one.  The man could have had sophomore standing by now.  Heck he might even had had junior standing if they counted his banking certificate.
