Well, here’s a brain dump for ya. I apologize in advance.

When car or truck people call their thing the “best selling,” they should be required to say if they are including fleet sales. Just cuz some phone company is stupid enough to buy 1,000 of pieces of shit, doesn’t make it a good car. Same thing about the “best in class” nonsense. Who decides what makes up a class?

Speaking of cars, until our lawmakers grow a pair and actually outlaw yakking on your cell phone or texting while piloting a deadly weapon, all drivers tests should be changed so that the entire test (from meeting the officer to getting your picture taken for your license and everything in between) is done while holding a cell phone to your ear. Parallel parking must be done while talking on the phone and surfing for new tunes on the ipod. And just to be fair, this new test should be administered to all drivers. Sorry, Grandma.

running

  • Today: 5 miles, 1:02:25
  • MTD: 15.5 miles Time: 3h 11m 20s
  • YTD: 401.9 miles Time: 3 days, 8h 12m 20s

Today, I ran over an hour for the first time since Chicago. This summer has been kicking my ass, running-wise. And not that it was hot out, but the scale shows I lost six pounds since Friday. Which is wrong, but still, wow.

I absolutely love Ell’s writing (NSFW, maybe). It’s part because it’s just so erotic, and part because I like to imagine my wife feels that way sometimes, instead of ‘well, let’s get this over with, I’m busy, ya know.’ Not that she’d say that (out loud), but hey, Giada’s coming on!

I mowed the yard after church this morning. Aren’t you proud of me?

My daughter is pushing a lego choo-choo train around the floor, apparently it’s going to McDonalds. Not that advertising works, or anything. (however, I will NOT eat at Burger King, thanks to their stupid commercials)

I got what I deserved

I managed to scrub both toilets, then hear a child screaming outside.

Why?

They won’t tell me, not with a straight story, anyway.

But somehow a can (large) of concentrated frozen orange juice is involved, as the contents were melting on the driveway next to an eight foot long bamboo stick. There was a bicycle in the gutter, and a child I don’t know pushing one of our bicycles back from across the street.

Ah, just a day in the life.

After I yelled at the boys about the orange juice (they claim they wanted to eat it like a popsicle), my oldest has started calling people. I found him hiding in the closet under a blanket, on the phone, leaving a message for my mom – probably telling her how mean I am.

I bet she’ll be laughing her ass off so hard she can’t call back for at least a couple of days.
