Some random thoughts

I have been meaning to sit down and really go on about the Cubs, being that spring training is coming to an end, regardless of weather or not SPRING will actuall ever get here or not, but I just have had so little time to even think, let alone type, that the best I could manage is this cumbersome, yet engaging, run on sentence.
So, some random thoughts.

1. Jeff, please don't go off the deep end! not after all the time I spent trying to find you. You are seriously tripping me out. Call me, we should talk.
2. Construction (destruction) inside the place you call home sucks nuts.
The further I get with the basement, the behinder I feel.
Behinder. Its a word, look it up.
3. I dont usually like to swear in my blogs because A) vulgarities are a sign of low brow humor and B) My sister is the only one I know who actually ever reads this and I don't feel right about swearing but in this case I simply can't help it...
FUCK SNOW.

4.I honestly can't take any more winter. I have been able to keep "the blues" at bay, but only barely and only because I've been too busy to be depressed, but Jebus this spring needs to get here post haste or I'm going to start calling Tom Skilling at his house at 3am and complain.That'll fix his wagon.

5. People, by and large, are ok...but society sucks.
I base this solely on the number of nitwit drivers I see on the roads.
Perhaps I'm just gettin older.
No...they suck. Those...people. Driver people.
Meh.

6. MEH is not a word, it is a sentence.

7. If the definition of integrity is doing the right thing when no one is looking, then the 20 something pinheads I work with have none. The amount of apathy lately among "kids" scares me. It's we went from Gen X to Gen Y to Gen y- me to now GEN-who cares.
Sad.
8. I think wanting your country to better itself on a continuous basis is the definition of patriotism. Which is why I consider myself a patriot when I say that this country is Fu@#ed. From the dimwit running the show to the fact that less than 18% of the world population has a favorable opinion of the USA (DOWN FROM 60% AND UP PRE 911/PRE IRAQ....YIPES)We need to lead the charge in world COMMUNICATION and UNITY.
But hey, you cant outsource patriotism, so I guess it isn't cost effective.
9. Love beats death.
and finally
10. I don't care who gets in the White house at this point, Im just looking forward to being lied to by someone who can construct a sentence without having to take his shoes off to count.

Overwhelmed, Over my head...

Over and out...

I am surrounded, knee deep in alligators and completely out of my element.
It will pass, with time and hard work but for right now the light at the end of my "project tunnel" is nary a flicker.

I have completely destroyed our basement and begun to frame out Luke's new bedroom.
With a kick in the pants by Mike and a few good tips, I think I have a great start...if only I could keep the momentum going. Thats where outside elements beyond my control come in a f@#$ everything up.
Let's start with this miserable winter. Enough already. Snow, freeze, thaw,snow some more, freeze again, then more snow...
I can't keep up and let's not talk about my not having a snowblower that works.

I've resorted to using bad aerosols and burning oil drums full of gas just to advance global warming that much more. Every little bit helps, they say.

When I'm not shoveling (or looking for the shovel) or chipping ice from the driveway...the 100 foot long BRICK driveway...ahem...
I'm working my real job. (Saving the world, being awesome...that sort of thing. As Christian says, being fantastic is a full time Job. And why exactly am I quoting people from Project Runway? Oh right...it's the only show we watch anymore. Another reason why we don't own a plasma.)
So as a result I have big plans and bigger gaps between times when I can get any real work done.
Time is running out, I need this finished, the bathroom in and the kids rooms done by the end of May.

BWAAAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I can't wait to meet you Mary, but don't be surprised if we take lot's of naps together...
for the first couple of years, anyway.
