Randomitis

Here’s a few random bits that don’t really warrant their own entry.  As an added bonus I’ll use bullet points!

  1. I’m sure I made my neighbor very happy by shouting “Oh, not just no, HELL no!” outside their bedroom window.  See, I just found my son with a box of matches standing beside my house, with burned out matches all over the ground.  Did I mention my neighbor is a preacher?
  2. I received a phone bill for nine cents.  What’s better?  It’s printed on so many pieces of paper that it took 54 cents to mail it.  What’s even better than that?  I overpaid last month so I have a credit balance (nothing is due).  I’d scan the summary page to back up what I’m saying but for nine cents I’m not sure it’s worth it.
  3. Weight wise I’m staying the course.  276.2 on Saturday.  I haven’t bothered to weigh today (Father’s day) because, hell, it’s father’s day.  But I feel thickerer so I’ve probably gained a little bit.  I’m going running tonite to get back on track.
  4. We had a lot of rain Thursday / Friday / Saturday.  It’s nice, we really needed it.  Now I need to mow my lawn, though.  It’s one of those cloud/silver lining things.
  5. Watching Tivo of the world cup is awesome, except it’s a little daunting to realize that overnight I have like seven games to watch.  That’s fourteen hours of sitting on my ass, in case you don’t feel like doing the math.  I don’t think I’ll watch them all, since we still have – three or four more weeks to go?
  6. There is no number six.
  7. The kids are fighting, again.  Are they too young to sign them up for Special Forces?  Some time away at boot camp might be appreciated.

  2. 1. In that situation, I think the preacher could appreciate that the words uttered in that situation could have been far worse than “Hell no”

    2. I once got a similar bill from the local Utility Company because of the end of the “equal billing” where they balance out your credits vs. actual usage. Even better… I got a shut off notice for not sending in the check for (in my case) .12 cents.

    3. 3 Weeks on Shangri-La and I am down 7.2 pounds so far.

    4. Been there, done that.

    5. Now I have already admitted I am not a big World Cup Fan. That being said, I would think the charm of Tivo would be that you could watch these games in fast foward, and slow down only for the goals, or at least goals and only when teams get inside the 18 Yard marker. You could probably knock off those 7 games in a half and hour to fourty-five minutes.

    6. There is no numbe six here either

    7. What makes you think the Special Forces would want to take them off of your hands 😉

  5. the Elder Child has flat feet, so special forces don’t want him. The monkey-imitating DinoBoy, however, has 11.5 years before I can sign his permission slip…

    the soccer players are much fun to watch — no other set of humans on this earth as fit as soccer players. Not even my marathon runners. Dang. And we enjoyed the Italian team, with two roster players with the same name the same as Elder Child.
