Large and in charge.

I started mentally planning for this big weekend a short time back when I noticed on the calendar that my bonus and Kath's salary would come on the same day. So today, I did what I said I would do. I viewed my current week's stub and I know just what my pledge is to God from it, to the penny.

And now, I just grabbed my wife's pay stub, did the math and I know exactly what a five-the is of the money she earned this week. So I add the two numbers together (including that missing $1.78 from last week's GBTG) and viola, I know just what to put on the check.

And I just typed the above paragraph after seeing that number displayed in Microsoft Calculator, putting my face in my hands, rolling my eyes, repeating "what am I thinking" over and over and having a numb feeling of total disbelief that I will write out a check in that large a sum, without handing it to someone who will, in return, give me a bag or box with something tangible inside.
