Today's Observation: My son asked me if I wanted to play W4 with him. I know he's a smart boy, but I was thinking that he's a little too young to be concerned about how many allowances I'm going to claim for this year. How sweet, right? It turns out that he wanted to play Connect Four, which is a lot more fun than taxes.
Today's Observation: my taste buds are on strike today. Nothing I ate had any flavor. What a waste of food.
Today's Observation: The ranch dressing at Red Robin tasted like plastic today. I still ate it though.
Today's Observation: Even a two-block commute can take four hours. I left the office at 6:00 p.m. and didn't arrive home until 10:00 p.m.-ish. I was making some progress until friends and a couple of bars got in my way.
Today's Observation: I realize today, after reading the Pennysaver, that you can clip coupons for a root canal. Next time I'm writhing with tooth pain I will consult the recent paper and see which dentist is offering the best deal. If anybody offers a B.O.G.O., count me in! Two root canals for the price of one? Now that's a deal!
Today's Observation: I feel like Hansel & Gretel when I do our laundry. I leave little trails of tiny socks all the way down the hallway to and from the laundry room. Wait...I hope it's only the kids' socks that mark the trail. =O
Today's Observation: I find it quite annoying when people initiate a phone call and then just sit there, waiting for the callee to talk. That happened to me today at work and eventually I had to ask the guy if there was a reason for his call. Geez, dude! This is the EXACT reason why I dislike talking on the phone.
Today's Observation: It is difficult to expect our children to get a solid education when the people installed to teach them are making blatant mistakes. Example: "He has done an out-standing job...". I could be mistaken if he was performing his duties while standing outside and if this is the case, I apologize for this in-sitting rant.
Today's Observation: transvestite crackheads in HB are humorous, but don't exactly give good advice. I was told today to replace a man with a flyswatter because the flyswatter will listen to me better. On what planet do flyswatters have the ability to listen and follow directions? Besides, I'd still have to use my own energy to swat. Now an automatic kitty litter box is a different story.
Today's Observation: I forgot yesterday's observation. Whoopsie.
Today's Observation: Apparently my VIP Parking pass for Brea doesn't entitle me to park wherever. I parked my car as close to the office as I could without driving it up the stairwell. I looked down from my office window to see a note on my windshield, expecting it to be from delivery truck whose dock I was kind of blocking. No! The note was from a nearby merchant who has no right to complain. I'm going to give him/her back the note tomorrow with a Coke and a smile.
Today's Observation: It is possible to make it through a day without a drop of caffeine. I forgot to drink my usual coffee and green tea (not at the same time). I think I'll double up tomorrow just for kicks.
Today's Observation: My daughter seems to have inherited my weirdness. I was going through the huge stack of papers she brought home from school and there was a drawing assignment. The kids had to follow steps to draw a dog. Her dog's legs & paws were people. She drew a comment bubble and in it said, "I got people on my feet!". She is an artistic genious.
*Correction: the assignment was to draw a bear not a dog, though that little mistake on my part does not change the message.
Today's Observation: The instructions for heating a pot pie are a little over-the-top in my opinion. When you spend approximately $1 on the delightful mini pie of love, is it really that important that you measure the internal temperature in several spots to be sure it's 165 degrees? When it starts to spew it's internal love, it's done.
Today's Observation: Cats are quite agile. I discovered today that my cat can jump vertically and horizontally at the same time, which is quite impressive. I now know that she is not a fan of the vacuum, nor the bath. I'm pretty sure she was also butt-hurt because I found her acrobatic behavior to be hysterical.
Today's Observation: Apparently I live in some sort of bubble that prevents me from knowing valuable celebrity news as it happens. I learned today that a certain actor whose name rhymes with Schmravolta is gay. When did this happen? I guess the whole wife and children thing still fools me.
*Please note that just because I heard it, it doesn't mean I necessarily believe it or find it of any significance. He's an amazing actor, and from what I've read he's a wonderful person. This comment was just about my surprise to hear such news.
Today's Observation: Mexi-Melts are Mexi-Messy to eat.
Today's Observation: There is something so heartwarming about a young child melting in your arms when you least expect it. My niece shocked me when she raised her arms to be picked up by me, and then held me with her head resting on my shoulder. I don't know what else was going on around me at that moment because I was temporarily displaced to Heaven. Thanks, Kenzers. Love ya!
Today's Observation: Life would be so much easier if the Lemon Law applied to human interactions too.
Today's Observation: Even after a good night's sleep it is impossible for me to stay awake during a conference call/training. Weird, because I would've thought that property management and accounting software would be exhilarating. Boy was I ....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Today's Observation: I'm like super hero status now. I got both kids to eat broccoli tonight. I'd like my cape to be purple with silver sparkles, thanks.
Today's Observation: brightly-painted Harleys are a confusing concept. I saw three on the freeway today: purple, lime green and orange. The bikes were amazing, but the colors lowered their cool factor significantly.
Today's Observation: some headlines are really ridiculous. For example, on Yahoo! I read the following: "Verizon to announce it's getting the iPhone." Why do they need to announce it now? Yahoo! just did. Lame.
Today's Observation: collaborative bar art is an amazing concept. Sketch a little something, then keep passing it down so everybody can contribute.
Today's Observation: Eating ground flaxseed on top of Nutty Nuggets (Grape Nuts for po folk) is much like eating cardboard with dirt sprinkled on top. My tastebuds are still not talking to me.
Today's Observation: I find it an incredible coincidence that while eating dessert I had a sudden urge to find out just how long of a whipped cream snake one can of Redi Whip would make, and it's National Whipped Cream Day! I wonder what tomorrow is...
Today's Observation: cooked quinoa resembles tiny little condoms.
