soccer day

I got to enjoy another soccer game this morning, only this time it was
very cold. Just over 30 degrees. But it was a good game and very
enjoyable. I snapped this photo on my phone of the boys in action.

I made up a word

Today as I was trying to enjoy a peaceful quiet time in the morning on
my day off work, my quiet neighborhood was interrupted by the sound of
about 6 stupid neighborhood dogs. This happens often. One will start
barking like crazy because he saw a reflection of his tail in a window
or something and the other idiot dogs just have to join in.

However, today something special happened as I went to turn on some
music to drown out the barking; a word popped into my mind. I thought
to myself, "I'm so angervated". Angry and aggravated. Sometimes one
word isn't enough and you have to combine two. But wait, I'd also like
to throw in the word 'motivated', as in "motivated to eliminate the
source of the barking. Of course I would never do that, but one can
dream.

Well now the dogs have stopped and so has my angervation. Still,
hardly a day goes by when I don't get pushed to the point of scheming
a way of exacting revenge on those clueless canines for their
incessant daily bark-a-thons. I am not going to go into detail on that
because too many angervated pet lovers with no sense of humor read my
blog.

SLIDE FUN: THE VIDEO

So many memories, so little time to blog. I apologize and will try to keep this thing updated as often as possible.

Yesterday I attended a birthday party and there was a deluxe bounce house with a slide! At first I ignored it since I am much too large to have anything to do with a bounce house. But with a little coaxing from my friends, I was sliding down that thing like it was my profession. I was excited to have something fun to record on my new phone and then to edit it all in iMovie. I had a lot of fun making this little movie and I hope you enjoy SLIDE FUN.

What is happening?

A few days ago, an apparently very tired gnome appeared on our door
step. All it does is sleep and nobody knows how it got there.... If it
could only talk! Does anyone know who is behind this madness?

A real mouse problem

Today I was attacked at work by these three evil HP mice. I had to
update 3 windows XP machines simultaneously and now I have a huge
headache. Even brand new they don't work that great. Eventually I got
it all completed but it wasn't pretty.

Mouse Conspiracy: Are you kidding me??

I thought blogging was supposed to be a fun way to express to friends and family events happening in our lives with a twist of humor. Especially for Eric (the creative one). Unfortunately, his humor is offensive to some people (who knows who they are) and feel they must express their view point to retaliate against his creative efforts. Come on! Are you serious?

Eric is such an incredibly nice guy and unfortunately feels he needs to defend himself. I don't think he should. He's sweet, funny and has a big heart. So, to all of you who are out there in the blog world and insist on commenting on his "offensive" blogs; go ahead. He will read, digest, respond and continue to be a nice guy.

I, however, will continue to read, appreciate and comment on his clever, interesting and entertaining blogs. Thanks, Eric, for giving us bits and pieces of your life. Many of us really enjoy reading it and totally "get" your humor! :)
