Rest

Post by: Chris on January 23rd, 2008 | File Under Every Day Things

I like naps. I never take them, but I like them non-the-less. I really wanted a nap this afternoon, but of course it did not happen. I think I am slowly wearing myself out tho. One of my New Year Resolutions was not to take a vacation day this year until April. Its too fetchin’ cold to go out, the weather is sometimes depressing (when there is no snow that is) and I always try to save my vacation for the summer. My dad says that I could be feeling down and tired because I am not getting enough sunshine. This is probably right. I need the sun. I have heard that the sun provides Vitamin D. No, not in large sun-burned ways, but just a hour or so of sunlight a day. We have not seen the sun in a while out here. Its been snowing too much; which is good cuz we need the water, but One day of sun would be nice. Either that, or more rest and sleep for me. I feel like bedtime right now and its only 7pm. Maybe a short nap . . .

Okay. This site is actually extremely good! I like it! Caffeine Overload. Foolish me thought it might, just Might be about coffee, harharhar. Heck, what do I know?!

I learned that the average person spends 6 months of their life sitting at red lights, and because of the rotation of the earth, an object can be thrown farther if it is thrown West….which could be good since I live in the West I might catch some object thrown from the East…? well, ya never know!

Oh, and I know I am going to use this tidbit of info: A whale’s penis is called a dork. :)

However, for a good read we can also visit Florida. In which, I do wish I was there instead of here; its a fetchin’ 15 degrees out here ! ! ! !

My Parents

Post by: Chris on January 22nd, 2008 | File Under Family

My parents have to be Thee coolest people on the face of this Earth ! ! I have been having ‘issues’ at work regarding my schedule and they seem to be just going along w/the flow of it all, while I sit here (at work) stressing over the whole thing. I have a hard time w/Change in general, and even tho this is a little shift change, it will still effect me immensly. If you have been following my ramblings, come Feb I have to start work at 630AM and to make a long story short, I have to get up at 4:45AM. They will take my son at their house every morning at 6am, feed him breakfast, entertain him for couple hours and then walk him the almost 2 miles round trip to school. I feel so dang guilty some times for not being able to do it all myself. ugh.

XO

Much to my chagrin, I found out yesterday that the new TV I just bought goes on sale in a week for $150 less! I need to go back to Costco and see what they will say. I am just hoping they will credit me back the $150….if not….well there is a 90 day return policy so I might have to return it, get the credit, walk back in the store, and buy another one at the cheaper price! It’s not really that hard to box it all up again and set a new one up again, but I just hope they le me do it the easy way.

Next time I hope to be more aware of those coupon codes!

Wow. It is a fetchin’ blizzard out there today ! I was even 13 minutes late for work and I am never late. Plus, it is still snowing really hard. I can see the interstate from my work window, and it looks like slow motion out there. The cars must be going only about 20 mph.

I wish I was home though, watching our cool new TV. We stayed up too late last night watching a Nature show on PBS. The colors are so clear and crisp! Watching TV is now a delight. I never knew it could be so fun just sitting there watching a show. I hope I dont get addicted and start staying up late. Now all we need is some light fixtures to spruce up the place even more. I love renovating the house!

TV

Post by: Chris on January 19th, 2008 | File Under Family

We need a TV. I mean really need a TV. Ours must be about 25 years old. Its terrible. I get depressed watching it. So tomorrow we are going shopping and if I can find one I like, I am buying it! I have saved my hard earned money so we are set. I have also been reading up online about LCD v Plasma. I need to talk to some sales guys before I decide which one I really want, but I think I am leaning towards Plasma more. and I do want a 1080p, but the price for a Plasma 1080p is higher than a LCD 1080p. I need some more info. The sales guys are usually pretty nice. I just have to shop around. When we do get a TV we will also need a tv lift cabinet. However, I will first need to save up for one of those!
