Resolutions
I do not make resolutions at the New Year. Not to say that there is not room for improvement, I just don't think there is one particular time I should resolve to do or not to do something. Why not make everyday a chance to change things.
Happy New Year... here's to another year.
Proof there is such thing as Santa
Christmas morning Finn discovered every single item he asked Santa for, and then some. Over 15 boxes of Mac N Cheese, Monkey Cereal, and Clifford Crunch. He has already started his list for next year... Green Beans.
All he wants for Christmas is some Mac N Cheese
Finn visited Santa a week ago and gave his extensive list of items he would like to see under the Christmas tree when he wakes up early Christmas morning... Macaroni and Cheese, Clifford Crunch Cereal, Monkey Cereal, and toys for his dog Hoover. This Christmas I assure you he will get every single item on his list, and there will be lots of photos to prove it.
File under: you have to be shitting me or Full moon = insanity˛
Scenario 1-
During the few extra minutes at work where I sneak off to get coffee I head to one of the coffee stands in the hospital to order 2 Double Tall Gingerbread Latté's.
Coffee Stand Nazi- What do you want?
Me- 2 Double Tall Gingerbread Latté's.
CSN- No you can't have Tall, only Grande.
M- I don't want Grande's I want Tall's.
CSN- No you can only have Grande that is what the special is for.
M- I don't want the special, I want Tall's, I will pay full price.
CSN- NO! You can not have a Tall you will get the Grande... I may not have enough cups for people if I give everyone Tall's when they want them.
M- I don't want that much milk in them.
CSN- You are getting that much milk in them.
I turn around and look at the 15 perplexed faces in line behind me.
Scenario 2-
I am watching people look at photos on a computer screen, when one of the photos pops up upside-down.
Person 1- Oh no the photo is upside-down.
Person 2- I can fix that.
This is where Person 2 actually lifts the computer screen up and turns it upside down and holds it for everyone else to see. I stand with jaw open... afraid to tell them that all they had to do was hit the rotate button. Yes this really did happen, I have witnesses.
Sex, drugs, rock & roll...
OK maybe not so hard core... but enjoying California nonetheless. Will be a short trip, however I intend to enjoy every single second hanging out with my gorgeous niece, and kick-ass sister-in-law. But beware... when the adults go out to play... I'll behave... no I won't.
Roommates
When I was 18 I lived in a house full of guys. One guy was a friend of a friend that moved in because he needed a room and we were hurting to fill the room. I think we perhaps had all of about a dozen conversations during our months of living together. One being noteworthy...
Walking down the road to our house I noticed the neighbors house across the street was on fire. Flames were shooting thru the front windows and the neighbors were sitting on the edge of the sidewalk watching the fire eat their home. I ran into our house and asked A if he knew that the house across the street was on fire. He glanced my way and told me he had noticed the fire a long time ago... figured someone would eventually call 911... he was just too tired to get up and find the phone.
This is the same asshole that never paid his rent and was "too tired" to take the blanket off of his bed that was covered in cat piss.
