I’m glad it’s Thursday…which is immediately followed by FRIDAY!
Why is the sun hot?
Why does it rain?
Why is there danger and
Why is there pain?
Why can’t the burden
we carry go away?
And why isn’t it Friday today?
Man oh man…my Mom was over the last two nights helping me clean and redecorate the house so we can put it on the market. It barely even looks like my house anymore! I kind of don’t even want to sell it, too bad it’s 80 miles from work. She loves to do that kind of shit, but she gets really excited/anal about it so I spent more time decorating the house in one day than I had in the 3.5 years I lived there. While I love her to death and appreciated the help, I kind of wanted her to not stay overnight last night. Still, that’s done and I get to go home to my nice, clean, organized, quiet house tonight and zone the fuck out or do whatever else I want to do.
Yes, I realize it’s no longer morning.
Good afternoon…BOOM!! MIND FUCK!!
Goooooood morning.
Off work, leaving in about one hour and twenty-three minutes for Louisville.
Hanging with college buddies, and seeing RAILROAD EARTH.
Mardi Gras on Saturday taboot, should be interesting.
^Sounds fun. Love RE. I am feggin hungover this fine morning. Celebrated Mardi Gras last night at my favorite eating and drinking establishment. 
tired today, wow … played a weeknight bar gig last night, got to bed around 2. a little bit hungover too. that’s all i’m gonna type; gotta conserve energy
Very VERY VERY Tired tHIs MorNinG!!!
Went and saw Girl Talk last night.
It was a free show since Val bought me a ticket a long time ago.
It was moved from a venue within walking distance to my house to a AAA Hockey League arena about an hour away. Got home around 2. Tired. No coffee yet. Not amused 
But, IT’S FRIDAY!!!
Chugged a coke on the way in and had some Air-Born cause I am trying to boost my Vitamin C to fight a cold.
Giggity
Morning Pa, hope your weekends are wonderful (<—took 4 attempts to type that, tired)
Brett-O, nice to see you back, and thanks for the Hump Day pix. Always does my heart good. I’ll leave that one alone.
Working from home this morning which is always a treat. Don’t spend nearly as much time on useless telephone calls, and not only get more work work done, but can also get the laundry for the week completed.
And oh yeah, I can come up to the OKP and say hey. Hey!
Also taking Monday off from work, so this is almost a four day weekend for me. Monday is my annual commitment to take Marie to the…
That’s where I get to be trampled by more old ladies than Don Rickles, Henny Youngman and Rodney Dangerfield have jokes about. But I get to spend time with Marie and eat our way through Philly, and that’s always motivation enough for me.
Well, I gotta get back to work. Have a great Friday.
I am in need of a weekend getaway, any ideas anyone? I want to go somewhere that is fun and with some cool folks!
Need a few day break!
Mornin to you all!
Loves!!!
^Come to Asheville and see Cactus 3/20 
Morning, Pa.
Feeling like I’ve been to battle already. My daughter is SO difficult these days it’s draining me. She’s only 9.5, so shouldn’t I have a good 3 years before that teen angst sets in??? Ideas are totally welcome.
Been a BUSY week and the weekend is sure to keep up the pace. Between my training and my daughter’s soccer practice, I haven’t been home before 8:00 a single night this week. Tomorrow Kenzie has 2 soccer games, I have my haven: YOGA, and we’re supposed to paint pottery. Sunday is Zumba and house cleaning day…the house is definitely a wreck since I haven’t been home to clean it. I also need to work with my stupid dog to get her to RELAX when she’s put out in the yard with the underground fence. It should have been a no-brainer because she was kept with one by her former owner!!. She’s so fucking stupid she just sits there and shakes eventhough I have REPEATEDLY put her on the leash and run her around the perimeter to show her both the flag/barriers and the area she can run free. We’re still having to crate her each work day because she freaks out when we try anything else. She’s eaten the blinds in the livingroom when I tried to leave her loose in the house, she ate the upstairs bathroom when I tried to leave her in there with food, water, her bed, and her toys, and she breaks outta the $250 12x12 kennel we bought for her within 2 minutes of getting in there. I think she’d honestly rather be in that confined space than have freedom to roam. Man’s best friend my ass. More like man’s biggest pain in the ass!
SO yeah, bah humbug today, lol. Happy Friday.
Nope. You’re pretty much fucked for the next decade. 
Sorry.
Mornin’ folks! 
Good morning peoples. I overslept my alarm by 2.5 hours this morning. Apparently I needed sleep. I would normally not give to shits but it was my day to drive in the carpool…whoops.
Agreed, mine is turning 20 in August and she still acts like a child. There is this entitlement factor these days, makes me sick…
Good luck to you!!
Gordo with you sounds great to be honest!
In these kid’s defense, I’m almost 30 and I still act like a child. Such as, I spend all of my money and time off to follow one band around the country, just like I did when I was 15.
Wait, you have a job? My daughter has not worked in over one year… Her mother makes crap money, but yet pays her cell, car ins, gas… She has taught her nothing.
Oh, and to help my daughter when she started college, after myself and her G’pa (my father) bought my daughter a $10,000 car, she quit college 11 days later… A joke. Since then I quit paying her insurance and helping her with $$, no school or no job, You get no hand outs from me…
fear not. those sweet daughter disappear for a number of years, but they do come back. seems like they have to go out and try things on their own no matter how much we warn against that.
but after they try our patience along with everything else they need to see for themselves, all of the values we instilled in them before they disappeared, is still in there. as long as you don’t burn any major bridges with them, they do grow up and are typically fine people.
love working from home. am communicating with you while getting paid to listen in on the most boring teleconference.
If mine manages to get himself into a decent music school, I have a feeling he’ll stick with it… but, ya never know. For his sake, I hope he does… because his mom and I sure as hell ain’t gonna be supporting him financially after he turns 18! 
Came in to say this!
Mine just turned 15 and he’ll be lucky if he makes it to 16! He’s just like those Snicker’s Diva commercials. Except if I jam a Snickers down his throat, he’s still acts the diva! 
I just keep telling myself that I was the same way when I was 15 (even though my mommy told me I wasn’t!).
But he’ll be off to college in 3 years, so by my math, that gives me a good 5 years with my daughter before she hits 9.5. Going to have to bask in those years while I can!
