| Well, it's been a while since I last posted so I suppose it's about time. Work has been busy and I haven't had a lot of free time lately so it's been hard to find time to write anything. I can't remember what all I've wrote on here since Christmas so I might write some of the same things over again. My sister, Amanda, got engaged over the Christmas break. Congratulations to her. I am looking forward to the June 7th wedding. Her and Michael had been dating a couple years before Sarah and I even met so it's not like it wasn't due. I hear that they are going to have a bit of dancing there. I think this may be the right time to showcase yet another signature dance move from my repertoire of amazing performances. To give you a little taste of my "dirty candy" I'll just say it is similar to "the sprinkler" and it involves me diving across the dance floor in nothing but my leopard skin undies. It is called the "slip-n-slide". How is that similar to the sprinkler, you ask? Well, the slip-n-slide and the sprinkler are both great things to get wet from on a hot summer day. Story of the day: Today for lunch we went to Red Robin. They serve great burgers and they have a thing were you get as many fries as you can eat. I've never been to a place like that before and I've also never been to a place that puts live animals in your sandwich. What they do is you walk in and they have pictures of different birds on the walls. You choose the bird you want and someone walks into the back room full of cages and carefully grabs a bird and puts it in between two buns. The waiter then hands "the sandwich" to you and you have to eat it pretty quick before the bird bites you. A lot of the birds get away so people are regularly standing on their tables trying to jump up at the ceiling and biting at the birds. Although it was tough to eat through all the beak and feathers the Robin meat was quite delicious and well worth the effort. The bird even left me a surprise on my plate to dip my fries in. Ok, that wasn't real...they really have good burgers made out of beef and not birds. Everything else I wrote was true though. It's my favorite restaurant right now. | | |

Well, our Christmas was quite nice. We got home yesterday evening and after lots of driving in some pretty bad snow. It is kind of nice to be sitting in a cube today without worrying about trucks swerving into the car. In the second installment of Christmas we got a Wii (very fun to play), I got a portable DVD player and a ton of other stuff I'm not going to list even though they were great. I did get my yearly gift of underwear along with the picture her parents take of me trying on a pair. They fit great and I can't wait to try each new pair and each new color! Jacob got 10 too many choo-choo's. He's got about every Thomas the train toy they make. I'm determined that once he stops playing with them that I will make good use of them. If I have to set up the railway on my work desk, I will! Quick question: If you poop in a forest and nobody hears it, did you really poop? I didn't think so! Story of the day: Sarah thought this was really funny...I didn't as much. We had just gotten to a hotel after 6 or 7 miserable hours of driving in some really bad snow on New Year's Eve. Sarah went to the bathroom while I was bringing the suitcases up the stairs in the frigid air and as soon as I'm about to lay down on the bed she tells me that she clogged the toilet. I told her she had to call the front desk to get a plunger but she made me do it. I was half out of it and just pushed the button and said "uh, yeah, you guys don't have any plungers in the room...can I get a plunger up here since our toilet is clogged. You can just leave it at the door." That was funny to Sarah...so I hope she likes it that I wrote it. Anyway, I would also like to state that I didn't clog the toilet. I am a huge proponet of courtesy flushes! | | |
| This morning I got some presents for the second Christmas that we have celebrated so far. The first one was for our friends, this one was the family, Tuesday is Sarah's family, and I believe next Saturday is my family in Iowa. Anyway, I got some cool things so far: A running jacket with a built-in MP3 player, a running shirt, gift card to Best Buy, a new UNO spinning wheel game, a cool football remote (that Jacob threw as soon as I opened it yesterday and some pieces fell out of it), a desk picture of Hannah and Jacob, a picture of my dad, some new cologne, a new long-sleeve polo, candy, and some beef stick. I need to poop real quick....alright, I'm back. Last night Sarah and I went to Macaroni Grill to use up some gift cards and then went shopping since the movie thing wasn't working out for our date night. It was good. This morning after opening presents Sarah made a huge breakfast and now her and Hannah are taking a nap while Jacob and I are downstairs coloring. If I don't post again before Christmas I hope everyone has a very merry one! Story of the day: The other night I was reading Jacob a book and he just kept flipping the pages before I could even start reading the page. Since I figured he wasn't even paying attention I just started reading, "Gordon went poop and then drove away..." Apparently the last couple days he has been saying "Thomas, poop, Gordon, poop, Percy, poop" I guess I've learned my lesson that he'll repeat everything I say! | | |
| Last night Sarah went to a movie with our friend, Jen, from my work and I moved some furniture at her house and got to play her Wii and watch her cable tv while watching the kids. I was having fun playing the bowling until Jacob ran in front of me and I accidentally knocked him over. Yeah, we ended up watching cartoons the rest of the night. Tonight is mission: guest bathroom. I'm going to clean that thing and it's not even funny. Those dirty spots in there are going to wish they'd never been born. Tonight I am going on the record to apologize to my friend, Josh. While we were in college he was dating a girl and I told her that Josh had skidmarks in his underwear. It didn't go over well but they did end up getting married. Even though I think the skidmarks comment was what made their marriage a sure thing, you know, kind of brought them even closer together, I think I should apologize to him for it. So, Josh, I don't think you read this but I'm sorry, I should have run the skidmark comment by you first. Story of the day: Have you ever known somebody that thought they were really good at singing but they were absolutely terrible because they were tone deaf? Well, Lil Donny Hot Sauce (AKA: my roomate, Donavan, from college) once tried to start playing guitar and sing in college. It was our senior year and Harkins had his guitar over at our place a lot. One day he decided to teach Don the guitar part to "Hero" by that Enrique Iglesias dude. Anyway, for the next 3 months all I would hear is Donny playing the short, easy intro to "Hero" and then try and sing it..he'd even try and sing it to me sometimes. I'm not sure if any of you have heard me sing before but Donny makes me sound like Celine Dion...well, the guy version of her. You could ask any one of our college friends and they'd all agree that Don is tone deaf. One day I finally got tired of hearing it and asked if he knew a different song and tried to no avail to get people to tell him he sounded like poop. I'm sure he still likes to show off his "Hero" singing abilities whenever he finds a guitar lying around somewhere...thankfully I won't be there to hear it :) | | |

Last night Sarah went shopping while Jacob and I chilled out and watched some choo-choo's. I had rented "Deck the Halls" to watch but I kept falling asleep because of all the late nights lately. It was kind of like when I tried to rest my eyes during the commercials of the tv show "Lost" last year and would end up just falling asleep. Anyway, today we are taking the kids to get a "grandkids" picture today...that means more of driving in Castleton. It should be extremely busy but that's ok. After that is Sarah's mom's birthday bash and that is about it. Story of the day: I hadn't talked to Nater for a while so when I do, something pretty funny (at least to me) comes up about him. Last night was no different. Nate is growing out a full beard for his Bethlehem play he is in so he has this big old red beard and he is bald so he thinks he looks really funny. Anyway, I guess this really really hot girl came in to bond out her husband and he got all flustered about it. He said she was telling him all the details and then she started showing him her neck/chest and saying that she thought she was getting a rash or something on it but he couldn't see any rash. It just cracked me up thinking of Nater in that situation...not much more to the story than that. | | |
