Favorite new words

We seem to like the word "butt" around here. I always share too much information so forgive me if I offend.

We're a gassy family. There's no getting around it. It happens and by golly, we're good at it. Donovan has taken to pointing out loud that someone "tooted" and then proceeds to say "butt" several times. We can't help but laugh. It encourages him but he could be saying a lot worse. He'll tell you if it stinks too. "Pew!" Then he covers his mouth and giggles like a schoolgirl. That's our boy.

I just found out this weekend that a good friend of mine is now in Iraq. He told us he was thinking of retiring from the Marine Corps this year or soon and yet he's in the Middle East. Be safe Todd, we love you and pray for you and your fellow soldiers.

Oh yeah, "cock" means talk in Donovan's world. Oh the joys of learning new words. I can't wait till he tries to say "truck" and "sit" although we did go through an "Oshee" phase for Oh Sh*t. Now he just says OSHA. But there are no dangerous chemicals here or work related injuries so OSHA can stay outta my house thank you very much.

I Can't Wait

I know of no one who agrees with me that Jason Mewes is hot. This is a bad example and this is definately NOT hot. That's ok though. I remember the good, forget the bad. I make no excuses for my taste*. For fans of Clerks , Chasing Amy , Dogma , Jay and Silent Bob , etc , check it out: P.S. I've been working 'til 11 or midnight most nights so I'm pooped. I'll blog more. I promise. Was I missed though? * Or lack thereof to some people

This, That and The Other

I can already tell that Thanksgiving and Christmas are going to suck ass even more than it normally would at my job. Last night, a guy was telling me how much he gave me, how much he was supposed to get back and THEN told me what order to give it back to him in. Um? Sir? I'm not a twit, ok, I am a twit, but I'm not an idiot. Ok, sometimes I can be. Like that time I moved up to Wisconsin in the middle of a blizzard from nice, warm Tucson, AZ for a dumb boy and we broke up less than two months later. Yeah that sucked but my point is: I've been in retail, just about every job one could have except store manager, for about oh, 19 years. I think I know what I'm doing when it comes to giving change back. Don't talk to me like I'm a 16 yr old kid who's working his first job and doesn't give a shit what kind of work ethic he has. I care about you as a customer but when you're a dick to me and pissing off everyone in my line so they are dicks to me ? Well, ...

This Has To Be Said

I haven't blogged in 8 months. We bought a house, still unpacking, school started. You know, life. I felt the need, the urgent need to blog about the Adrian Peterson situation today. I am full of all sorts of feelings and had to write about it. I would love to hear your thoughts on this whole thing. No really, I would. I don't feel I was a douchebag in my writing so all I ask is you not be a douchebag in your response. Thanks. My thoughts on the Adrian Peterson situation (but first, some backstory): I was spanked as a child. I'm pretty sure most of us that grew up in the 80s were. Until the summer between 5th and 6th grade I lived in Charelston, SC and from 6th to 11th grade, North Chicaco, IL. I have seen every form of discipline doled out on a child. I've seen spankings, beatings, hairbrushes smacked into heads, spoons hitting the tops of heads, whips, belts and even switches. I've seen it all. Most of you know that my son is named after a little boy who ...
