My parents have been visiting for the last few days. It's really weird because that has meant a great deal of freedom for us. I can remember a time that having my parents in the same house meant a loss of freedom; being in the same house meant a curfew, or chores, or other things along those lines. Now, it means free baby-sitters and a tremendous ( Read more... )

I find it highly amusing that the fridge here at work has a sign that says something like, "Please do not eat other people's food." It seems so silly to have to post something like that. It's not like this a middle school. Aren't we all adults? Are people really doing that with regularity ( Read more... )

I rode my bike to work yesterday. I still find that highly rewarding and this was the first time in a month I've done it. I'm hoping to keep doing it twice a week if our schedules allow. Not sure if that'll happen though ( Read more... )

My son has a LeapFrog toy that has buttons and little animals that pop up. Each button is a different shape and color and I think it's suppose to tech them colors and shapes because of that. Anyhow, when the little animal pops up they sing a little song and it's downright hilarious the different ways in which we've misheard those songs. One of them ( Read more... )

I was just at the vending machine and they fixed a "glitch" with it. Which is too bad really. Months ago they raised their prices from $1.00 for 20 oz to $1.25. However, slot 52 was still one dollar. A discovery that filled me with joy. But, I guess they finally noticed because my Sprite Zero just cost me $1.25. It's a sad day for me ( Read more... )

I actually did this post yesterday, but the email update didn't go through for some reason. Maybe my work is blocking the emails? I don't know. It doesn't really matter. I'm getting the post done anyway ( Read more... )

I remembered what I was going to blog:

I was going to talk about the book Catch-22. I never read this book in high school or college or anywhere else, so I'm reading it now. For fun. I've never read a more confusing book in my life, and I read VALIS by Philip K. Dick. VALIS is a book in which the author's pseudonym travels to L.A. and meets the ( Read more... )

I'm on vacation. I like this vacation. I'm immensely relaxed. In fact, once or twice I've even been bored. I did bring my work laptop though. Yeah, that's right, work, I'm using company equipment to blog. I dare you to find me and beat me! I dare you! ... (hang on, someone's at the door)... Wow, they found me fast! I'm off to corporate jail. Pray ( Read more... )

I like my dog. I like her even more today than other days though. I was in my boys room, changing his diaper, when the dog started doing that weird thing dogs do. If you're ever seen a dog hunt a bug, it's a weird sight. They start by sniffing decidedly at a single spot. My dog, though, has been stung a couple times by scorpions and bees, so she's ( Read more... )

I had a pretty good weekend. I swear the only thing I did was play Assassin's Creed on the PS3 though. I mean, that's what made it so good, but somehow I managed to do a whole bunch of other things as well. I managed to clean my kitchen floor, to vacuum, to clean up the porch, and clean my bathrooms. All that, and still played something like six ( Read more... )
