1st Phone Call

Yeah, the first phone call went great, even though both of our phones kept dropping the call. We even have the same MN accent. Cool Ya'kno!

Going Along Swimmingly

My new match "J" and I have been emailing fools. If it is possible, I think I am 10 times more like "J" than the first "K." We still haven't called each other on the phone but that should come soon.

Another Fish From The See

Well, I seemed to have found yet another fish in the sea, over at eHarmony. "J" still wants to communicate with me, even after seeing my picture. (For some reason I loos alot of them at that point. I don't know why. I know I am not Tom Cruise anymore, but I am not an Ogre either.) Anyway, we have yet to talk on the phone, or meet. However, I think the phone thing will be happening soon. I am proceeding with caution, as always, and will keep everyone posted like before. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am most thankful for the fact that I no longer have to sit at the kid's table! 

Only One Word Needed. . .

SPEC-FRIGGEN-TACTULAR!

Update:

The whole thing was so unbelievably awesome that I had to make up a word to describe it. I will say, I believe this to be the best one thus far. Each one was good in its own way, however, this one surpassed them all in every catagory. My whole body was tense for the entire 2.5 hours, making my whole body ache this morning. It was, however, far more than worth any pain I have to endure.

For the first 10 or 15 minutes after the movie was over, I was totally speachless. That my freinds, happens so seldome, I can not remember one time in all my years it has happened before. When I woke up this morning, all I could think was that I want to go and see it again tonight.

A Night On The Town!

Ok, so everyone needs to dress in their best for the night is finally here! HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE! At 7:00 pm on the 18th, I will be sitting with my Aunt, my Sister-In-Law, and my Nephew at the theatre across the street from me waiting through all of the stupid comercials until the witching hour begins. I.JUST.CAN'T.TAKE.IT! 

Friday's America Beauty - Marisa Tomei

Well, folks I don't have a lot of time tonight. So let me just say that Marisa was a shoe in for this title. Such class! 

Four till 4!

Just in case any of you live under a rock, and have not yet ventured out to read my blog over the last year, I thought I would update you.

There are now only 4 days left until the opening of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." My tickets were purchased long ago for this monumentous event. I am treating my Aunt, my Sister-in-Law, and my Nephew to the show, from one over zealous HP fan to another. Actually, I am really the only over zealous one, but thinking that helps me cope.

The next count down will be for "The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe," December 9th. After that I will be waiting for "Da Vinci Code" and "Eragon," both due out sometime in 2006. I am currently reading "Eragon," and I am sure I will love the movie, since I am not even half way through the book and am already in hook, line, and sinker!

A 21 Picture Salute

To The American Farm

A few weeks ago I took Big Sister and Little Man to visit their Grandparents. (Mr. & Mrs. Ex-In-Laws) I needed to take lots of pics while I was there, since I plan on framing them as Christmas gifts from the kids this year.

The Farm became a "Centennial Farm" this year, so I thought it fitting to give a photo history, so to speak, of the farm for Grandpa Ex-In-Law.

Hope you all like them.

Ps. Please don't feel obligated to comment on each photo, or any at all for that matter. Just be sure to enjoy them.

Happy Blogaversery!!!!!

Today is my big 01! Exactly one year ago today, my friend Steve got me hooked on blogging, and it has been an obsession ever since. Thanks to all of my regular readers/new friends who have made it all that much more fun.

Friday's American Beauty - Meg Ryan

She had me at "Take me to bed, or lose me forever!" a quote from her character in Top Gun. I watched her interview on Actor's Studio, and her favorite curse word is "Ef ME!" My hand shot up, as I said, OOO Me first, me first! She is as cute and charming in real life as she was in You've Got Mail. She is just so cute I could hug her for hours.

I thought so...

Pitty Party

I.HATE.MY.LIFE!

None of you need worry. I do not wish to end my life, I only hate it. Actually, I loathe it! There are several reasons why, and I will list them. (However, I must list them in code for reasons that they involve work and family.)

1. asdlkfj weopiuwer sljfsld
2. sadfljksdfl uweiiuo dds eor
3. wer0v sdoeowej soidfhj
4. sdfls oiu ddf df oiweur dss
5. sd wer wer sdhosdfhoi wee

I know what you are all thinking, he has so much going for him. God has richly blessed him, and his children, and the list of things he has to be thankful for is so long that it wouldn't even fit on one post. To which I would, and do, whole heartedly agree. It is just that the above list, and you will have to take my word for it, is really something that is worth having a pitty party over.

I rarely have pitty parties, but when I do, I invite all of my major and minor problems, and provide enough snacks and party favors so they all stay for a damn long time. At least I am smart enough not to serve any of them, or myself, alcohol, since that would only magnify things WAY out of proportion.

I will pray about it, sleep on it, and bitch about it to my best friend in the world tomorrow night on the way home from work, (Thank God for cell phones with headsets!) and by this time tomorrow I should be right with the world again. Now mind you, nothing will have changed eccept my additude, but hey I can have a pitty party if I want to, so long as I clean up after myself.

Note: To anyone that wracked their brain trying to figure out the code for the reasons I hate my life. The jokes on you. I just randomly typed letters and spaces, without regard for the real reasons. So STOP IT! LOL

Friday's American Beauty - Jacquline Smith

I swear this woman will be sexy the day she dies! The funny thing is that when I watched Charlies Angles, (Oh, shut up!) I always had a thing for Cheryl Ladd, but not Jacqueline. As an adult, however, I see her timeless beauty. Plus, the soft Texas accent doesn't hurt. I am still in awe at just how many of the women I find attractive are brunettes. I always thought I was a blond man. My wife was blonde, go figure. 

16 Days

and counting!
