WHY?

Ok, we have season tickets to Badger football. It's REALLY nice. We have a lot of fun when we go, and it's kind of a family thing, as Dave's parents have tickets as well. The tickets aren't in our name, a friend of Dave's family actually has them. We have to shell out a LARGE chunk of change each year...it amounts to about $100 per game for the two of us. Each year we think "should we do it?" and so far, the answer has been yes. We'll continue as long as we can, because we know that once we give them up, we're never going to get them back.

Anyway, that's not the point of my post. The point is having to pay the person we get them from. She reminds us frequently that payment is due. We send a downpayment sometime in March I think. Then in April, we send the rest of it. It hurts, really. But what REALLY gets me is WHY I had to pay this money in March and April, when it's MAY and NEITHER check has been cashed yet. It is infuriating. If she would say "send me a check, I'll let you know when I'm going to cash it" that would be great. Because every year, payment time sneaks up on us and we dont' have a chance to save up. If she asked for the checks and said "i'll cash them on this date" then we'd send the check and start saving. You know? It's SO annoying!

Since I titled this post "why", I'll ask another question. Why the HELL does it smell like a skunk in the studio???? I showered after my workout tonight...it's NOT me!
