Random thoughts and ramblings...

I'm assembling a play system in the backyard for my boys. The instructions say 16-20 hours construction time. I have 35-40 man hours in it, a good portion of that is in sorting and labeling hardware and lumber. I'm not even half finished.

I'm 37 years old. Why was tonight the first time I've ever had mango sorbet? Have I really wasted all these years eating ice cream when I could have had this stuff? I think we're adding it to the regular weekly grocery list.

Tonight I was doing the dishes and heard music coming through the monitor from Jonathan's bedroom. "Won't you take me to Funkytown..." He's not even 2. The Lackey's... Keeping things interesting since...

I cooked dinner tonight. I cook dinner most nights. I do it because I like my cooking best. Shelly is a good cook. I'm better.

I am also better at ironing.

The stupidest thing I EVER did was let Shelly know I knew how to iron. Around our house, if you do something well enough, it becomes your job.

I watch more TV shows now than I've ever watched. I discovered Comcast On Demand, now I generally watch them on there without commercials. I can watch a week's worth of shows in 3-4 hours, when it is convenient for me. Bullrun, Celebrity Apprentice, and Pawn Stars are my favorites.

I like the feeling of satisfaction I get when I finish cutting the grass and see how good the freshly cut yard looks, but I hate actually cutting the grass.

I really enjoy blogging, but sometimes it seems that Facebook makes it harder to blog.

Cold Busted...

This evening, Shelly and I took the kids to dinner at iHop, followed by an outing to Target.

While we were at Target, there was a guy holding a baby and standing near a lady that I presumed to be his wife (or "baby momma"). I'm not sure what the conversation was, but at one point, he turned around and looked in the direction of a lady walking the other direction, wearing high heels and short shorts Not sure what he was looking at. Maybe it was the baby in the stroller she was pushing? Or the old lady with her?

Anyway, his significant other must have noticed him looking that direction, and said sort of tersely, "You want me to take the baby so you can go with her?"

Friends, that dude had just been cold busted. Made worse by me busting out laughing. I had to take a quick duck into the next aisle. That woman seemed a little testy, and I sure wasn't up to being clobbered by some post partum anger...

I told Shelly what had just happened, wondering if she was going to say the guy got what he had coming. She shocked me with her reply... "Sounds like someone has a little issue with insecurity..." Yep, I guess so. Either way, I was there in the right place at the right time to see the show.
