No title from my weekend post.

Friday: I got off work early by using my gift of persuasion on the person that holds the power to my schedule. O.k….not really. I just asked if I could, she looked at our service levels, and said I could go. I really wanted to get home early so H could get her stuff done before her shoot in St. Paul. Once she was off I got down to business. (Back story! A few days earlier I had this huge itch in my left ear. So I went to town getting rid of it. After I was done with that, I noticed that I could not hear worth a darn. So great, I just packed my inner ear with wax. Not cool. I read up on how to fix this and the trusty ol’ internet said one way was to let olive oil sit in your ear for about 15 minutes. End of back story.) So now it was time. I popped in a Seinfeld DVD and laid down on the floor with the olive oil in my ear. I have to say, it a weird feeling. Kind of cold with a little slime feeling to it. I don’t really want to get to the messy details, but let’s just say, it didn’t work. Had my dinner (pizza rolls) and watched and episode of The Office (American version). After that, it was fun time for me. Junk food and video games. The night ended with H and her brother bringing home tacos. Somewhere in the middle of all that I got an email saying my Grandpa from California was going to be in town Saturday, and asking if I would like to visit. It’s been over 10 years so sure. Saturday: Nothing special for Saturday. H had another shoot, but this time it was at out place. That means it’s time for me to hunker down in my room with, you guessed it, junk food and games. Well, this time it was junk food and my jigsaw puzzle and the little brother played games. I also learn that my Grandpa and his friend got into a car accident. His friend went to the hospitable to reattach a part of his ear. Grandpa is o.k. Visit is postponed until tomorrow. Sunday: Little Brother has gone home before I even wake up. H has yet another shoot today and it’s once again at our place. So, back to my room for games. My brother Daniel beats me in NHL 09 in a shootout, playing over the net with Xbox Live. He then picks me up and we’re off to Wisconsin to visit Grandpa. The “kids” will be there too. Our little brother Ryan and sister Julia. I say “kids” because they are now 19 and 17 years old. Not really kids anymore. We hang out with Grandpa for a while. It’s mostly my Dad and him chatting about stuff. We get bored of that and head down stairs to watch some Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre. We decide on Puss In Boots starring Ben Vereen. I’m now convinced that Been is the ultimate weirdo. Dan and I head back home without much excitement. Unless you count missing the exit to get onto 35w north. I get home to good news. H has been accepted into her first gallery for her photos. More on that once I get more details. Monday: Just got word from H that it’s .99 cent day at Savers today. I guess we’re going…and getting Subway after work. Do What You Wanna Do

Great Sunday!

O.k….Work wasn’t that bad this weekend. Saturday was sort of busy, but nothing we couldn’t handle. Sunday though, Sunday was a good day. Work was really slow, as in I took four calls in two hours. So I asked my manager if I could go home early and he said sure. So I was out at 11:30a. So the wife and I decided to go run some errands together and get something to eat. While I was waiting for her to get ready, my mother called and asked if I wanted to get my Christmas gift early. We all ready decided that it was a nice new 26 in LCD TV a few months back, but I had no idea it was going to be mine that day…super duper! She also paid for lunch too. So now here is where the fun begins. With the new TV, I’m taking the smaller (19 inch LCD) TV that was in our living room and putting that into my room. See, my wife is a photographer and does a lot of nude stuff. As you can guess, the models don’t really want me around while the shoot is going on, and neither does my wife. So now, I can go to my room and do all sorts of things! Play on my Xbox, play with my turntables, work my jigsaw puzzle or just watch a movie. This was the whole reason of getting a two bed room apartment, so I can have my own romper room. Normally I would just sit and work my puzzle. That’s fine and all, but I can’t sit there on my hard folding chair for too long. Oh yeah, and the Wild lost Saturday. 2-1 to the Columbus Bluejackets. Booooo! What the hell is a bluejacket anyways?
