A month, really?

I am such a slacker when it comes to this blog. I don't know why. I wish I could just type everyday about something. But I can't. Facebook consumes too much of my time. That and trying to beat Becky on who can get the furthest on a Webkinz game (yes, I know how old I am).

So let's pick up where we left off. Kam started first grade in August. She loves it. I have to admit, I was a little worried when we started to get her back into the swing of "homework" before school started, but she has seemed to pick right back up where she left off. They have their first spelling quiz on Friday and I am fairly sure she will get a 100% on it.

Work has been work. I officially started my new position this past Saturday (Monday actually was the first working day but Saturday started the week for Payroll). So far, no different. However, today really tested my patience. This lady in my unit (mind you, there are 6 of us and one of us is on Short Term - and it's not me unfortunately) told me (in the politest way possible, for real) that I had mistakenly changed something and it caused a problem in Finance and Billing. So of course, I am worried sick about it all day long until I start really trying to find out what I did when. Turns out.....wasn't me. IT WAS HER!!! The nerve of her!!!!! So I just had to keep my distance from her for the remainder of the day. ARGH!

I get to see Joe and Tim in just 9 short days. I can't wait just to kick back and relax with them. I really need a break from reality (and I know they do too).

I managed to finish the hall (painting only...no floor - still looking for funding ideas for that portion of the project). Kitchen....not so much. I still need another coat of paint in spots. It's tolerable right now. Erik removed the center part of the carpet, so it looks a little weird right now. Oh well....I can live with it.

Kam started soccer last Saturday. It is the cutest thing ever. Her team is called the Cobras. They have a half hour practice every Saturday followed by a half hour game until November then take a break until the Spring. Her first game.....she scored a goal!!! I barely got it on tape but I did just enough to get the idea she kicked and scored. This week I will be better at filming, I swear. And I still cringe when people say I am a Soccer Mom...puhlease.

Until next time, here is Kam in her soccer gear. Notice the pink and black Adidas shoes. I so want a pair for myself.

Random Thought(s)

1. Why does it smell like Betadine and/or hydrogen peroxide in here? Isn't that shit for keeping/making things clean? Cuz it sure isn't clean in here. I mean, I did just have to clean up the tiniest of shards of glass from the dog who just enjoys putting her large ass paws in the front window and tearing down my "Welcome" candles each and every time.

2. Where is Tim? I wanna play some Mario Kart on the Wii.

3. Do you have the Wii? Is it not the most awesome thing ever? Who knew getting exercise could be so fun (well sort of). Also - note to self - DO NOT LET YOUR 5/6/7 year old play....they will surely kick your ass in every game, even if they have never played any other video game but Hannah Montana and Barbie Mariposa.

4. Tim???? Are you out there? The "work" excuse is running thin.

5. I can hardly stand the anticipation of Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Rumor has it, the team that won the opening face off loses the game. Good - that would be Detroit that won the face off.
Few more random points about this series versus the last
time the Pens won the Stanley Cup (1991):
1. There was a Bush in office (George H. W. Bush)
2. There was a Clinton running for President (YAY BILLY!)
3. We were at war in Iraq (Desert Storm)
4. The Giants won the Super Bowl
5. Most important of them all.....PENS WIN THE CUP!!!!

6. Had a conversation with a random Red Wings fan today. Went a little something like this:
(Dude was wearing a Red Wings jersey)
Me: You're gonna get yourself hurt around here with that thing on.
Him (all smiles): Do you know where I can buy an octopus?
Me: Nowhere. No one will sell it to you.
Even though he was a Red Wings fan and therefore classified as a Douche, he was nice.

Now THAT'S some funny shit

There's nothing I like more then trash talking in sports. I love to watch their mouths and see what they are saying, since 8 times out of 10, it will be censored or the mic's never pick it up.

Well there is one thing I like more then opponent's trash talking each other. It's a grown man telling him mama to sit her ass down.



Yep - LeBron James has some big ones. That was his mama in the white shirt, being held back by Kevin Garnett (the exceedingly tall man in green). This is some priceless stuff.

And just for the record, the end of the announcer's sentence was not "and his mother".
