Just Some Random Things…

     I notice that if you don’t spend a whole of time in the sun on one day, but divide it up over a couple days, you won’t burn and you can get a darker tan faster.

     I have a vacation going on right now, with 5 kids! My 2 daughters, my stepson and I just acquired my 2 nieces for the next few days. It’s all kids! I fed them White Castle for lunch. They ate that up!! Heads up to all you parents out there. Kids love Sliders from White Castle!

     There is nothing more enjoyable than it being hot outside and after going to the pool to cool off and have fun, coming back to an air-conditioned house!

     Setting up the Wiiin the basement was a great idea from my wife. It gets the kids out of the living room and opens up the main tv. Down there the kids can make as much noise as they want, leaving peace to us upstairs. Even I can go down there and play and not get told to be quiet.

     Why does it seem that dads have everything a kid needs? I seem to have things my kids need for whatever the job as far as tools are concerned. My dad has the tools that I need for whatever job I need to do. I mean, who runs around with tools to cut and splice cable wires? I need to run some lines in the house and he has the tools. Pretty cool.

     How does wi-fi work as far as having it? I have the i-Pod Touch. I can access the internet from it if I am in a “hot zone” where wi-fi is. Can someone who is providing the wi-fi access the various sites I visit and can they obtain my passwords?

     Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick needs to step down already! How can that dude run a city when he has so many legal issues going on? How can he concentrate? Look, he did everything that he keeps saying he didn’t. There is proof coming out daily. I think this whole thing is coming to head soon. I just hope he doesn’t loose his mind and kill himself and his wife and kids like the typical Detroit city citizens do. He already is acting like a punk, so it wouldn’t surprise me, it would just embarrass the city. But he already has done that too.

The Weekend Is Over

     Well, yet again, I am sitting here recovering from another fast weekend. What the heck is the deal? They are always flying by so fast that the next thing I know is I am pissed off at the alarm clock for being rude Monday morning, screaming at me to get up.

     This weekend I had my daughters. I got them Friday night and we spent the night just chilling out in the air conditioning. Saturday was another story.

     My wife and I got up and took our dog to the veterinarian for her yearly shots. That was a whopping $150!! My wife has been throwing around the idea of getting another dog, but after that visit, we decided that our one little shih tzu was enough! How people can have 2 dogs is beyond me! I am getting by just feeding and taking care of the 3 kids we have. Another dog with all it’s bills will put us in the poor house for sure!

     After the vet, we came home and rounded up the kids for a visit to the beach. The weathermen were calling for storms on Saturday, but by the time we left the vet, all we could see was total blue sky. How can someone have a job and be wrong all the time I’ll never understand it. Doesn’t that Doppler bullshit work?

     There is a beach on a lake 5 minutes from our house we all went to. We swam, burned a little in the sun, then came home. My wife and I got ready for that dinner party I had mentioned in an earlier post. We got the kids whatever they wanted to eat for dinner before we left. When we got home, we played some Wii, watched some tv then called it a night.

     Sunday, Father’s Day, I was surprised by a new wallet from my stepson. Thank goodness I have a new one. It’s perfect.  I hated the old one I was using. I was just too cheap to trash it. My daughter’s gift on the other hand? Didn’t get it yet. They forgot it when they came over. Heck! My youngest forgot her bathing suit for the beach in which we needed to make a stop at her mom’s to pick up.

     My wife and I got ready and shopped for food because my dad and stepmom were coming over for a barbeque. We burned some burgers, ate some delicious spaghetti salad my wife made, watched the Tigers win their sixth game in a row, watched Dale Jr finally win a race, then they left. In the meantime we were able to sneak in a tutorial of how to play the Wii to my dad. He was impressed with the technology.

     Now I am wrapping up the weekend. I can hardly wait for that rude-ass alarm clock to yell at me to get up and face another day at work. Yippee! NOT!!!
