Call it direct. Call it collect. But, call it TODAY!!

Monday, September 10th, 2007

so…I got to bed an hour earlier last night, and I overslept by an hour this morning. For all the extra sleep, I feel like crap!
I’ve been fight a sinus headache for about a week, and I think without the normal fog that I’m in during the early morning hours the headache is taking every […]

Day. Made.

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

so…I just got this email from Erika:

Subject: Sammy says hi

KT
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

That just made my day.
…and it’s probably one of the most intelligent and comprensible emails I’ll get all day.

Happy Birthday, baby!

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

so…today is Erika’s birthday! Go wish her a happy anniversary of her 29th birthday — the question is, which anniversary is it?
Love you sweetie!

it’s not as bright out at 6AM as it seems at 5

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

so…
I installed the downstairs AC last night, with the drafted help from my neighbor Mark.
There was some cursing, swearing, and cussing, and some duct tape, but it’s in, and it works.
Now here’s hoping for a smoother installation of the one in our bedroom.

this really goes without saying, but I am ever the one to overstate […]

we’ve got this thing, called chicken love!

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

so…this morning I was making up some eggs for breakfast and one of the eggs had what I can only describe as ashes inside.
Me: Yuck! I hate surprises when I crack open eggs.
Erika: You know that when we own our own farm and raise chickens, you’ll have to get used to that.
M: Used to what?
E: […]

walking contradiction

Monday, March 26th, 2007

so…in addition to being a loving wife, an amazing mother, and keeping our house from falling apart and making sure our bills are paid, Erika has taken on the role of my personal copyeditor: she has pointed out to me, many times, that I always manage to use the wrong word in my posts at […]

new land speed record

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

so…I was dangerously close to missing my train this morning.
How close?
Well, I’m so glad you asked me that…I overslept by 35 minutes.
Overslept is just a kind way of me saying that I managed to snooze, and then turn off, not one, but two alarms this morning.
Isn’t that always the way? Especially when you’ve got […]

it’s like being grounded

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

so…we got a new toy today, and I can’t play with it…I’ve got to work
We got a new camera! A Nikon D50, to be exact. With two lens — a 28-80mm and a 70-300mm! And I’ve got to work…
This is almost as bad as the time when I was in 7th grade and […]

…birthdays come around once a year, and sometimes you need to celebrate in a special way…

I got Pot Roast for dinner! oh, yeah!
Erika can’t […]

I really hate when people can’t do their job correctly.
Last Wednesday I stopped at the parking garage to renew my pass. Normally they give you until the third of the month to renew, but I hadn’t renewed my pass in February so there would be no such perk for me.
I […]
