The Gods are Laughing

Well it's more or less official, Kevin is moving in. This should be a great adventure in weirdness... only for once, I won't be the weird one in the house. He's going to drop by tomorrow, take a look and then will probably be in shortly after. I have to do some rearranging, but it's shouldn't take too long.

I wonder if he knows I don't like air conditioning? LOL

Big Changes

Well, it's finally happened, it is time to make some big changes in my life... and in fact I've already gone and done it. I am talking about none other than switching my laundry soap from the purple kind to the orange kind. It's a big step I know, but I think I am ready for it, in fact I have a load of colors washing with it RIGHT NOW!

It kind of hit me all at once. My dishwasher soap is orange, my bleach is orange, my toothpaste is orange, heck, even the fruit in my fridge is orange. Why not just take the plunge, I was practically all the way there.

I know what you are thinking, this is just like the big wildflower phase a couple years ago, but I'm telling this orange soap is different. I can see us being together a long long time. We're a better match. I just haven't ever felt this way about a laundry soap before, so it must be right... I mean I liked purple, but the thrill is gone, but orange, orange is a warmer color, friendlier. You don't have to guess what artificial flavors went into the smell, it's orange, 100% artificial orange. That means something to me.

I'm just hoping you can all support this decision I've made.

Late Nights @ Troy & Merinda's

Poker was the typical failure to secure an increased money stack, as usual. I was doing well for a while, but I got the boot when Troy & Chuck overanalyzed my actions, I swear I just didn't notice the flush or the straight draw, and Troy ended up calling me on it... of course I didn't end up with either the flush or the straight. I hate that game. I did get a royal flush that netted me the incredible sum of $6. Wow.

So I wandered upstairs and watched the rest of the race on the big screen. Oh, did you notice that the 16 won? My driver rules...

Merinda came home later while Troy was playing on the X-Box, and I was zoning on the couch. Naturally, I parked on the wrong side of the driveway... she had Troy's car... maybe I should just stick to the street or look in the garage after I park.

Blogthings Birthday Thing

As I have mentioned before, I hate when this kind of thing is accurate:

Saturday, Golden Sombrero plus One

Saturday was going to be a busy day for me. I had five things planned, and I did exactly zero of them:

Teach a coworker how to golf... nope
Balboa class week three... not quite
Going to the zoo... the animals are still waiting
Saturday evening church... um, no
Paul's westie dance... zip, nil, nadda, cero.

So why even bother to plan stuff if I'm not going to do it. No wonder the back yard looks like the jungle at the zoo... which I didn't see.
