Eureka!

About two months ago I posted about a beautiful tent that I wanted. Well, I was fortunate enough to receive it as a gift today. This makes me one happy camper. And as of 6-4 minutes ago I made a reservation in June at Young State Park so I can be happy while camping. If youre interested in coming up while well be there let me know and Ill tell you the dates and site so you can get a site close by.

Balls of Holly

Well, its the Christmas. Weve completed two celebrations and have five to go over the next two days. The only thing that I enjoy about all this is seeing Jack get excited. A couple days ago we told him about how Meijer will be closed and there wont be any cars in the parking lot. Last night we were talking about Christmas again and the thing he was most excited about was an empty parking lot!

Well I just integrated this here blogger with my Google+. Lets see how this bad boy works!

You are so Beautiful to Me

I just got myself a new phone. I upgraded from the DROID to the DROID X2. Its big. The screen is beautiful. It doesn't have a physical keyboard weighing it down. Its got an awesome camera. Its not 4G but Im fine with that. Its beautiful, and I just posted this on it.

Why am I writing you? :9814233

Hey, my name is Annika.
Well I saw yours fotos on dating site from my sister's account.... And I wanna to know you better.

I want to date with some attractive.

Let's communicate?:) Please, write me something interesting about you
I am waiting for your response:)

Four Finger Bm

Im sitting here, having just eaten a declisious PBnJ, wavy potato chips and a cool glass of Lactaid milk waiting for my bowels to move so I can take a shower. (Its just easier that way some times.) I havent been to a doctor to confirm it but I feel like my body hasnt been tolerating the lactose as well as it should be. For Jaimes birthday, Apryl made the most heavenly cheese cake Id ever eaten. About 64 minutes after eating it (2 slices) you could have renamed my toilet Pompeii and my butt Mt Vesuvious. (Keep in mind this didnt stop me from having more the next day! Heavenly.) I tried the Silk but do not enjoy the way it tastes or the texture of it. This Lactaid stuff is actual milk and tastes like it. Im excited that I can now enjoy one of my favorite lunches again. Even at breakfast time!

So, the Tera Nova..

..was a real stinker. (Dont watch it.) I've reverted back to CBS and How I Meet Your Mother. (Watch it.) Along with this comes too broke girls. I don't know how I feel about this 1 yet but I keep watching it.

Pitch a Tent

Oh man, the tent I want (Eureka Copper Canyon 1312) is at the lowest price Ive ever seen it on Amazon right now. This is the tent Ive wanted for a very long time now. Yes Jaime, I have been looking at it for a long time. Its well reviewed and while its big, its not frickin huge like the one we have now. Speaking of which, our current tent has two broken poles so we need to replace it before next season. 

Trustworthiness

The 3 of you who read this may have seen this already. Im not concerned with that. I love it. Right now Ive got the full beard (denial) but its kinda (very) patchy and quickly going homeless. I would like to trim it but I dont want to lose much length so clippers are out and I dont want to pay to have it barbered. (Barbered is a real word? Who knew?) I try combing it but that doesnt do anything. Id like to make it to the philosopher but it will probably end up werewolf style. After watching Twilight Ive considered myself on team Edward so I dont know how being a werewolf makes me feel. I think Ill give it a try. Until May anyway.

I decided to take today off so I could go to Jacks annual checkup. I'm also looking forward to spending the day with my wonderful family who is currently making us pancakes!

I'm also pretty excited that people are getting back into the blogging. I've been trying to blog more I just dont seem to have much to say latelly.

If the Season Ended Today

Im giving the game to the Saints even though they have half the game to play...

If the season ended right now heres how the playoffs would look:

AFC

East: Patriots

North: Ravens

South: Texans  Who knows whats going to happen here. Not one of these teams wants to win.

West: Chargers If this is going to happen, which I think will, Baby T Rex is going to need to get his 2 minute drill back on track.

Wildcard: Steelers

Wildcard: Bengals  Sorry Bengals, youre not going to make it. The Bills will hang on. 

NFC

East: Giants  This wont happen. The Cowboys will win this division. 

North: Packers

South: Saints

West: 49ers  Looks like we actually have a contender in the West. Perhaps this season they wont send a 7-9 team to the playoffs.

Wildcard: Lions  I cant wait for the 49ers/Lions rematch in the wildcard week of the playoffs!

Wildcard: Bears

Why Im Happy The Lions Lost

While Id love for the Lions to have gone 16-0, it wasnt going to happen. They needed to lose. Perhaps they should have already lost. Now they can look at what theyve been doing wrong and figure out what needs to be done to fix. Prior to this loss, any misgivings they may have had about their faults were easily dismissed by the fact that they won. Im glad it happened at this point in the season. Im glad it happened at the hands of a good, perhaps great, team. I believe that theyll learn from this and it will make them a better team. I still think theyll go at least 10 and 6 and that should be all they need to get to the playoffs.

Raking your yard eh?!

Happy Birthday Jack!

NFL 11 Week 4 Predictions

Were 4 weeks in and about to start the bye weeks. Here are my new playoff choices.

AFC

East: Patriots
North: Ravens
South: Jaguars Titans
West: Chargers
Wildcard: Jets Bills

Wildcard: Steelers

So a lot happened in the AFC these last three weeks. Im dumping the Jets and hoping the Bills make the playoffs for the first time in 12 years.

NFC

East: Eagles Redskins
North: Packers
South: Saints
West: Cardinals
Wildcard: Lions

Wildcard: Falcons Cowboys

Fucking Eagles. If they dont figure out a way to keep Vick safe they will be 4 and 12 by the end of the season. Im guessing they actually end up 9 and 7 and out of the playoffs.

Superbowl: Packers over Ravens

31 Days of Blood and Gore Part II

If for some reason you read this blog but dont read katohaters blog you should go there every day this month.

Lookks like weve got a team that can finish games this year.

The Lions are legit. Two wins on the road, one of which is against division rival Vikings, in the dreaded Metrodome. 3-0 overall putting them on top of the division. Balanced offence and defence.  So far so good.

New TV Season

We watched a few of those new TV series this past week. Heres what I thought.

Two and a Half Men: Dont Watch it.
Two Broke Girls: Dont Watch it.
New Girl: Watch it!
Raising Hope: Watch it.
Up All Night: Watch it.
Free Agents: Watch it.
The Middle: Watch it.
Modern Family: Watch it!
Big Bang Theory: Watch it!
The Office: Watch it.
Whitney: Dont Watch it!

Im still really looking forward to Tera Nova Monday night. I dont expect it to be well written but I do expect it to be well dinosaured and frankly, that could be all I need.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Thats right, its football season. Week one is almost completed and I have some predictions. Here are my picks for the playoffs.
AFC East: Patriots
North: Ravens
South: Jaguars
West: Chargers
Wildcard: Jets, Steelers
NFC East: Eagles
North: Packers
South: Saints
West: Cardinals
Wildcard: Lions, Falcons

Superbowl: Packers over Ravens

Ten Years Ago

Ten years ago I was married to a woman who, by comparison, I hardly knew. I didnt have and had no intention to have a son. I didnt have any pets. Ten years ago I didnt know half of my closest friends. 64tacos hadnt been conceived yet. There had only been one Mario Kart Tournament. Ten years ago I was assistant manager for Pizza Hut on the fast track to getting my own store. We lived in an apartment and were thinking about buying a house. All of these things have changed. All of these things have changed for the better.

Shuttlecock

Theres something wonderful about pulling stumps out of the ground. I just need the rain to let up so I can figure out how do dispose of them. Now that theyre gone I need to level the playing field, plant some grass and get me a badminton set.

Boobs vs Explosions

We watched Inglorious Bastards (Watch it.) Friday night and I fell asleep by 1030. So we finished it up last night and I was able to stay up. At only 10 oclock, we flipped through the basic cable and came across Mean Girls. (Watch it.) It had just started so we started watching it. Midnight came around and just the right number of girls had been hit by buses. I didnt fall asleep. In fact Ill say I enjoyed it more than IB. Looks like this time boobs win.

Happy mothers day everyone!

It Dont Matter if Youre Black or White

Well, mostly it doesnt anyway. If you take the black male out of the equation, there isnt much difference between tipping of men women black or white. For some reason though black men hardly ever tip. Below youll find the average tip dollar amount and percent for 200 recent deliveries Ive made.

Black: $2.04 11.6%

White: $3.79 16.5%

Male $3.65 13.7%

Female: $3.40 17.0%

Black Male: $1.48 7.8%

White Male: $4.03 14.6%

Black Female: $2.32 13.5%

White Female: $3.64 17.8%

Chris and The Easter Bunny

Every year, after the snow had melted, spring was in the air and the last candy heart had been eaten, the chicks harvested the fresh candy crops, packaged the candy in brightly colored eggs and delivered it to peoples houses.

One year a bad man named Chris came and ruined the Easter festivities that the chicks put on. (This is the same bad man that almost stole Christmas from Santa Clause several years earlier.) He would gather all the people together in giant buildings called churches where they would learn all about hope and salvation. The chicks tried to get to the peoples houses before they left but they were too slow.

Years went by and more and more people didnt care about the chicks or their candy. They all kept going to hear about what Chris did. Not sure what to do, the chicks went to see Santa and find out how he beat Chris. Santa told them of a wonderful company called Hallmark. The good people at Hallmark had given Santa all kinds of ideas like hiring a reindeer with a bright glowing nose and changing his name from Kris Kringle to Santa Clause. They would certainly be able to help the chicks.

After meeting with the people at Hallmark it was decided they needed someone who was fast and hip who could bring all the eggs to peoples houses before they left Easter morning. After searching and searching they found a bunny. He dressed in nothing but the coolest brightly colored vests and bow ties. Had amazing wicker baskets that had special pastel grass to keep the eggs safe. And he was quick. Much quicker then the chicks could ever be. He was able to get to everyones house before they woke up in the morning. Not only that but he was so fast that he even had time to hide the eggs in their houses.

Despite his best efforts, Chris was eventually forgotten. Giant chocolate statures of the bunny were built. Kids got to eat more candy then ever. And everyone had enough candy to make it to Mothers Day.

Conference Round 10

Steelers over the Jets, Packers over the Bears.

Shoot the Hostage

Apparently terrorists tried to blow up a bus about 100 yards away from my work today with some artist supplies. It wasnt as glamorous as you might think. Sandra Bullock didnt even show yup. They didnt succeed thank goodness. Grand Rapids finest sent out the bomb squad and in a mere 4 hours, the robot had the threat neutralized. Hopefully theyll crack down on those liberal artistic types at the Kendal University and find out whos leaving their boxes lying around willy nilly for the enemies of this country to do their worst with.

Divisional Round 10

Well I was right about the Jets, Ravens and Packers but look at those Sea Hawks upsetting the Saints. Looks like home team advantage is still a huge advantage. Unfortunately they wont have that in Chicago tomorrow. If the Sea Hawks are going to move on (which I dont think they will) the Bears will have to beat themselves. On the other side of the NFC I think the Packers win on the road in Atlanta.

AFC were looking at the Partiots over the Jets. Rex Ryans boys cant get it done in New England. Its just not going to happen. Probably the best game this weekend will be the Ravens and the Steelers. It should be a big time defense battle and I think the end score is 9-6, Ravens.

Playoffs 10

OK, so how did I do.

AFC
East: Jets nope Patriots
North: Steelers yup
South: Colts yup
West: Chargers nope Chiefs
Wildcard: Patriots nope Jets
Wildcard: Ravens yup

OK so the Pats beat out the Jets for the division. Theyre both in the playoffs. The Chargers proved to be the most disappointing team of the year.

NFC
East: Eagles yup
North: Packers nope Bears
South: Falcons yup
West: Seahawks perhaps or Rams
Wildcard: Saints yup
Wildcard: Bucs nope Packers

So I guess the Bears arent who I thought the were. Packers still made it but have a harder road to travel. As of this post the Seahawks and Rams have not played so we dont know whos going to win the West but at least we know that it doesnt matter because whoever it is will be destroyed by the Saints next week.

What else is going to happen next week? Honestly I dont think there will be any surprises. In the AFC the Jets should beat the Colts, Ravens over the Chiefs. The only game Im not sure about is the Eagles and Packers. Im going to have to go with the Packers. Theyre on fire right now. Also I think the Vick problem has been solved. Get to him and hit him a lot.
