Helpful Information to Start Your Week

What a weekend. The man child is officially 3 years old. We had a great party sponsored by Buzz Lightyear and Carter isn't sure which new toy to play with first. I also compiled some things I'll randomly spit at you to start this fine first full week of March.

1. Yard Work: I cleaned up a fence line on our property. I used an old electric powered weed eater to cut down a bunch of the dry grass and weeds. Eventually I noticed it was no longer weed eating but rather weed tickling. Right after that it died. Then it caught on fire. Being the responsible adult I am I put the fire out. Then I pushed the trigger again watching my weed eater turn once again into a torch. Then I realized most of Oklahoma has been devastated by wildfires this spring probably the result of numbskulls like myself thinking its cool to watch fire shoot out of their weed eater.

2. Love Life: Yes there is an NBA guy who's wife has supposedly given him one night a year to be with any other woman he wants. Can we please stop calling this man the luckiest man on earth? Seriously, that's not cool, his wife isn't the greatest wife ever and he is not to be envied. If anything, he's to be pitied.

3. A.M. News shows: I was watching TV friday morning while drinking some coffee and one of the Today/Good Morning America/ Whatever shows excitedly announced that a recent medical studied has found out that both 2 year olds and chimps are "hardwired" for service to others. Seriously, we're excited about this? 2 year old are hardly amazing civil servants and we already knew that inside all of us is the ability to serve, chimps serving though? Man, I guarantee the amount of money spent on that study could have fed a lot of people for a long time. Good thing the discovery was so groundbreaking. Oh wait, I'm being sarcastic.

4. Chuck Norris: The youth guys at our church have been on this Chuck Norris kick (get it?) lately. Turns out they discovered a funny website about Chuck. Old Mr. Norris has also been a topic of conversation around here lately as well. On Wed. night I showed up for youth group and whcn I walked in I saw some words on the screen. Usually that is where important information is located. Wed. was no different. Here was the message.

"The best part of waking up isn't folgers. It's the fact that Chuck Norris didn't kill you in your sleep."

Nice. You should check out the site if you haven't already. I'll tease you with a couple others that i really like:

When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding.
There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.
Chuck Norris drives an ice cream truck covered in human skulls.
And one more
Contrary to popular belief, America is not a democracy, it is a Chucktatorship.

Have a nice day.

Your baby is 3. Good grief.

Mine is getting married in two months and still hasn't gotten around to telling her officiant what they'd like him to use for vows. On our list. But will have to wait till we get back...I have their undivided attention for 9 hours. Maybe...

This has nothing to do with your post, but rather your cd-changer list over there... you should add Marc Brousard's 'Carencro' to the list... maybe you already got it, if not, go buy it pronto... pay whatever have to, just get it!
