I stole this from Rachel. I'm a socialist.

Oh My Gosh People

Dudes, I just don't know where to begin so I might as well just start yapping and see how it goes.

First of all, I just found out that my friends Tom and Codi have a new addition to the family. I just looked at my email and have three emails with pictures of their sweet little girl. Very, very cute! And apparently she's 11 days old now! I've had a feeling lately that I should give them a call. After having two little critters of my own I know how crazy things can be after the birth...and leading up to it. CONGRATULATIONS!!

In other news, I have to shoot my mom. Not that I want to but it's her wish, not mine! And I always obey my mama! When my step-dad Brent died a few years ago she told me to shoot her if she ever got married again. Well, on November 11 (Christin and mine's wedding anniversary by the way) she's getting hitched.

Back in March, during my last visit to Boise, my grandparents had their 60th wedding anniversary (60 freaking years people!). They had an announcement put in the local newspaper and a guy named Tom saw it and called them up to wish them a happy anniversary. Well, the story goes that waaaaay back in the day (like dinosaurs and volcanoes and stuff) he and my mom met in high school and dated a couple times and blah, blah, blah. In fact, I remember him back when I was like 6 or 7 (or thereabouts) and just remember that I liked him. So I guess after Tom talked to my grandparents, my mom called him up to say hello and as they say "the rest is history." I'm really excited for my mom. She's been really happy and I can tell that she really likes him! She says that he's really nice to her and actually values her input and they just get along great. She's "so in love with him." So that's just really cool and my brother and I approve so it's all good. : )

So, since they're getting married, Christin and I will be flying up to Boise for the wedding. So for all my peeps in ID we'll have to get together. I'm planning on being there November 6-14 and Christin the 9th through the 14th. Yeah, Christin's actually coming! Weird, huh? It's been a long time for her.

Now for the crazy, wacked out, freaking weird news! Holy crap, people! I got an email from my ex-wife on Thursday asking me to have Christin give her a call that evening. We thought this was pretty weird so I told Christin and she called her and they talked... Oh, my gosh people! Dudes...my freaking little baby, Allana, had her first period that day! What the crap is that all about?! Now if that doesn't make you feel old, I don't know what will!! Holy crap! Can you believe it?! Do you know what that means?! Developmentally, it's possible that she can get pregnant!! My daughter...pregnant...holy crap!! Dude, I was shell shocked for awhile but after Christin and Amber and Allana had talked I talked to Allana briefly and congratulated her and all that. She was very excited and felt pretty grown up. I think I handled it well though, as far as talking to her. I didn't make her feel weird or anything and it was all cool. She's only 9, will be 10 in January. Holy crap! I hear girls are starting younger and younger these days due to all the hormones in the foods that we eat, among other things.

Crazy man...just crazy.

Weekend

Well, I made it through the weekend. I played a lot of GTA: San Andreas this weekend on my PS2. I haven't played that game since before we moved back to Colorado! I wanted to play The Elder Scrolls: Morrowwind on my XBOX but the dang console seems to have broken! It won't recognize any of my game discs. Stupid thing! Ticks me off! But that's not all I did.

Saturday I went with Jody over to his school buddy's house with a few other people. We grilled hamburgers, talked, and made fun of one of the guy's 15 year old brother who got sloshed. Apparently he was sneaking shots of Jagermeister (yuck!). Then we played Halo 2 and the little drunk bastage still beat us old people at it! Even two against one! And after he yacked! Argh!

Sunday I went and played D&D with the guys. That was cool.

Monday I went with Jody out to a friend's house with tons and tons of people for a cook out and some volleyball action. Got some sun. It was a good time.

Gas Prices

A friend sent this to me...

Muy Bien!

For lunch today we went down to Pueblo (south of Colorado Springs) with our friends Jerry, Mary Beth, and their daughter, Sophia. The Guevara's said that this place (Don Carlos) had the best Mexican food; it was pretty darn good! It was a Mexican buffet! I've never been to a Mexican buffet before.

I'm going to be bachelorin' it this weekend for Labor Day. Christin is headed to Wisconsin on a business trip. Sounds like a weekend full of movies, loud music, PS2, XBOX, and D&D to me! Heh, heh... ; )
