So Yeah...

Well, I guess I made the new girl at work cry yesterday. I didn't really try to but it really felt like my messages weren't getting through so I tried a little harder and a little more direct. In hindsight I shouldn't have told the new girl that she was, at that moment, an overpaid babysitter. I think a big part of the problem is that everyone I interact with knows that I'm one of those people who will just go ahead and say whatever they think and that although it may sound mean it's really not meant to be. So know I work with a person that doesn't even want to look my direction, this being the same girl that was singing the cha cha slide with me on tuesday. Oops. My bad on this one. And to top it off I've now had 2 conversations with supervisors/owners about how I was training her, it took 18 months for me to get in any kind of trouble and ya know, I don't really like it all that much. No black leather coat and a big bad motorcycle for this guy. Tomorrow is another day and I have a feeling that this weekend will be just what we both need, or at least let's hope so.

Me So Happy!

If you look at this picture you will either have two thoughts...WOW! or WHAT?

Let's just put it this way, Landshark is Jimmy Buffett's beer that you can't get outside of Margaritavilles YET, but thanks to a good wife and some great connections I got some for Valentines day so FINS UP!

WTF!?!?!?

So for whatever reason I can't remember my login info for Charter.com...so I click on the "chat now with a representitive" link to get a little help and I see...

A representative will be with you shortly.
You are currently number 14 in the queue.
All agents are currently busy. Please stand by.

AHHHHHH!

AHHHH Stupid Poker

So 6 guys and 3 ladies sit down for a lovely game of Saturday night poker. Now I sit here and watch the 3 ladies play for ALL the money. If Obdell hadn't rivered every freaking person I might have had a snowballs chance in hell. But oh, well it's just a game and it's just $5. Even Keith got taken out when HD hit 3 running 10's to get 4 of a kind! AHHHH!

I Claim Victory!

Yeah for winning BOTH games of poker last Saturday. The 4 straights IN A ROW helped a lot on the first game though. Wonder what the odds are of that?

New Phones!

So, Heather's phone was really starting to show its age the other day. Somehow in the whole process I convinced her that we should both get new phones (since the camera on mine died in August) and now we both have camera phones with picture messaging. And as cute as it is they are matching phones except for color (hers is red while mine is blue) and only $40 after rebate!

I should REALLY go to bed...I have to work tomorrow....

How do you think?

I once had a teacher confront me with one of those weird tests that is supposed to show what kind of thinker you are. I don't remember all the answers but I will look for them, in the meantime feel free to comment with your answer and we'll see how you think:

You're driving a very nice, very expensice two seat sports car in the pouring rain. It's the kind of rain that is coming down so hard you swear it'll break your windsheild and man is it cold. You pass a bus stop for which the bus is not running this evening and you see three people. On the bench is a very old, frail older woman who is moments from death if she doesn't get to the hospital, the most beautiful person you have ever seen and your best friend. You only have room for one, who gets the ride?

Playing Catch Up

So below you will see 10 post all from the same day. Why you ask, because I got lazy and had to catch up. Enjoy!

Stupid Mouse

So I sit down and get ready to fill my blog with entries and I find that my right mouse button doesn't work. AND for whatever reason I decide that going to mouse options and switching my primary button will magically fix the problem. Now you tell me, when your right mouse button doesn't work and you proceed to make it your primary button how are are you supposed to accomplish anything INCLUDING undoing what you alread did? Yeah, I did that. Solution - Connecet my other mouse.

Thank You Jen D.!

Let me set the stage for this one folks.

I was starting me session with a child at work the other day (Rochester Center for Autism) and he is always a funny little guy. He poked at me a few times and proceeded to tell me I was fat, I thought this was cute and didn't think much of it.

Later in the day I was telling a co-worker (Jen D.) about this story and she had said "did you tell him the same cause he isn't that small. And anyways you're not fat and I was just looking at a bunch of your pictures on facebook and you've lost quite a bit of weight."

So thanks Jen, I have only known you for a few months so I think comments like that in catagories such as weight carry a little more power then when them come from friends you've known forever.

606 37th St.

So I believe it was almost 2 years ago that Heather and I kinda looked at a house. It wasn't the greatest place ever but it had 2 acres for a back yard and that certainly rocked. I drove by it the other night and found out it was STILL for sale and had been foreclosed on (cheap?) Well tonight we now know that we are to late and it looks like somebody is already buying our house. Sad, but at least now I don't need to figure out how to get out of our lease......

Rob & Big Season 3!

I'm so freakin excited that Rob & Big is back on! If you haven't seen this marvelous piece of reality television you really need to watch Mtv Tuesdays at 9:30. During season 2 Rob took on the personality of Johnny Light and they recored his hit song "Dirty Girl" enjoy! (thanks youtube!)

Feel the burn

Finally, the holidays are over and I can get get back on some kind of normal work out routine. As much as I enjoy big holiday checks from Ritz and working 78 hrs in a week I'm glad to see things getting closer to calm. It still makes me laugh when I walk in and the place is just packed and each week less and less people show up. Guess their new years resolutions didn't mean that much afer all.

Jef-fa-fa Dunham!

So if you know me you know I LOVE stand up comedy, it's just amazing to me. Even when people totally suck I am tempted to watch them, granted it's like watching a train go barrelling down the tracks when you know the bridge is out but hey I'm still entertained so there!

Jeff Dunham (left) is the crazy guy with all the dummies, you may know Jose the jalapeno best with his line "on a stick."

We've known about Mr. Dunham for a while and now it seems that everybody else is catching up and thanks to Comedy Central running 2.5 hours of him shortly after Christmas everyone is having a ball quoting him. Heather has even taken to naming on of her outfits the "Ta Ta Ta Taaa shirt" hehehehe. "Silence, I Keel You!"

Good stuff - Check it out sometime. Spark of Insanity provides great quotes. www.jeffdunham.com

Attack of the Penis Finger!

Ahh! It's the penis finger monster! Run for the hills! Get some ice or something else cold!

In case you haven't met, this is Mark's penis finger. Watch out!

So I went to a basketball game...

My phone is ringing at one of those time when you sure as hell ain't gonna answer it - turns out it was a coworker wondering if I wanted to help him use his T-Wolves tickets he got for Christmas. Now I really don't like basketball, I find it mostly boring and quite repeative but I do want to see every professional sports team Minnesota has so hey I decide to go. If any of you have been following the Wolves you'll know we haven't been doing so hot...we lost, but it was still fun in the end. Go Wolves!

Just for Carrie

Ok Carrie, just for you as you requested the lost verse to Margaritaville. (gotta hear it live - We have twice :-P )

Old men in tanktops
Cruising the giftshops
Checkin' out Chiquitas down by the shore
They dream about weightloss
Wish they could be their own boss
Those three day vacations become such a bore

Wastin away again in Margaritaville
Searchin for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's my own damn fault
Yes, and some people say that there's a woman to blame
And I know it's my own damn fault

Happy New Year (A little late)

Yeah for new years. Due to stupid neighboors we moved our annual celebration over to Mark's house but still had a blast playing Wii and just being stupid. I hope 2008 is super duper awsome for you all! (Man did we have food left over that night) See you next year, put it on your calendars now!

Me Like Hockey

Dateline - December 29th 2007
Place - Excel Energy Center

So we all saddled up and headed north to lose our voices cheering for the one and only Minnesota Wild, man what a night. I really starts with putting 8 people in a 7 person van and making the 90 min drive and then watching everyone guzzle beer in the parking ramp. (Cause there was and is no way in hell they were gonna drink in the vehicle I'm driving.)

The game started out sucky and by the halfway point our beloved boys were down 4 to 1; but not for long. It all started late in the 2nd period and carried through till the SHOOTOUT but we won 5-4.

What a game, and the boys ran the bar out of coors light AGAIN.
Whenever the Wild score Mark runs up and down the row high fiving and screaming goal, in case you missed it it looks something like:

Go Wild - I have 30 tix to the final home game of the season if anyone is interested!
