my cat’s breath smells like cat food

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

so…our cats do not like chicken cat food. Sure, if we’re eating chicken for dinner, they’re all for it, but if it came out of a can, pouch, or cup, not so much.
They don’t like it so much that they eat around the chicken pieces if it’s a meat-mix food — I think I’ve even […]

third time is a charm?

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

so…Do you remember this? (I hope you don’t…I mean, if you’re remembering stupid things like that from two years ago, you need a hobby…)
…well, I received my College Yearbook yesterday!!!
Oh, did I forget to tell you something?
Nope.
I’m still not graduating this year!
It would seem the UMASS is hanging on my every word, and when I […]

the great, collective comb-over, and other tales from the men’s room

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

so…at least 75% of the men at work seem to stop at the sink in the bathroom and comb their hair. They may not wash their hands, but they all have a comb in their back pocket.
I don’t think I even have a comb at home. Well, maybe for Sammy, but I’d look a little […]

I’m the Barber of Seville

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

so…last night will go down in history as the Great Hair Buzzing Incident of 2007: I butchered Sammy’s hair.
In my defense, he was moving a lot — I basically had to crawl around on the floor behind him. And my intentions were to leave an inch, but my clippers had other plans.
As Erika has said, […]

we were just another band out of Boston…

the quarterback sneak -or - throwing into double-coverage

Friday, March 9th, 2007

so…Tom Brady might have knocked up two ladies within a month of each other.
Fantastic.
Big deal. Really, it doesn’t affect his throwing arm.
It will affect his post-football political career, just a little…
Q: How do you know that Tom Brady is a Republican?
A: If he were a Democrat, he’d have a pull-out plan in place!

OSHA regulations state that a satin ribbon must be able to hold the weight of the average man, or 200 pounds

Friday, March 9th, 2007

so…I had the displeasure of seeing a very tiny thong sticking out of some very large jeans this morning on the train.
I figure that this woman was planning for this look, because I had to ask myself the following question, and there’s no way she could come up with different answer:
If your jeans are low-rise […]

re-educating your kids with Thomas the Train

Friday, March 9th, 2007

so…my mom got Sammy a Thomas the Train book for his birthday — the kid LOVES trains!
The book is a little old for him. It’s one of those storybooks with the little plastic panel along the outside edge — throughout the story there are icons that relate to these little buttons on the panel, and […]

what’s a little throw-up between family members?

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

so…Sammy turned a year old, and with that milestone comes a dreaded trip to the pediatrician for 12-month vaccinations.
Now, Sammy is in a group of high risk kids that needs to get a monthly RSV shot during the winter months. You would think that the repetitive trips to the doctor’s office would create an air […]

let’s call it a “birthday deal”

Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

so…yesterday was my birthday…
…I’ve been married for four years now, and with yesterday being my birthday, I got a special gift from Erika…
…birthdays come around once a year, and sometimes you need to celebrate in a special way…
…you married guys out there know what I’m talking about:
I got Pot Roast for dinner! oh, yeah!
Erika can’t […]
