- Yet another picture-less mobile blog post. At Perkins this time. Just got out of church. The ex hasn't taken the girlies to church for a while now. I asked G about and it sounds like she's using her typical sickness excuse. Nothing I can do except give it to God.
- I'm kicking myself for backing out of my hiking plans. The weather dorks said it was going to be high 40's, but it may reach 60. It's gorgeous out. On the other hand, I'm not really equipped for anything except warm weather hiking, especially if there is snow involved. That's alright. There's other stuff that money needs to go towards.
- Still haven't heard back about getting that stuff cut off. If I don't hear something on Monday, I'm going to call the family doctor I saw in the first place and talk to him about the treatment my mom used to take care of some she had on her ear. It was a biopsy to prove what it was and a cream treatment. Probably cheaper than a plastic surgeon anyway.
- I know it's noon already, but since it's my first meal of the day, I'm going to indulge in a high calorie breakfast. Yummy.
- So the parental units decided to change their holiday plans and visit my brother and his family on the East coast for Thanksgiving. Trying to beat the weather I guess. The girlies and I will have the day to ourselves. Maybe we'll get invited to my aunt and uncles house. That would be nice. But I still want to try deep frying a turkey.
- Perkins has the best breakfast in town, but the ambiance could do without the cackling old lady laughs. Yes, all the handicapped spaces are taken.
- You would be proud. The coffee I'm drinking now is the 5th cup (reasonably sized even) I've had over the last 2 weeks. Maybe just cutting back will turn out better than the cold turkey attempts I've tried in the past.
- Where's my muffin? Dang I would love some muffin right now. And not just the blueberry kind.
- So I chose to shave my head and cut back on the coffee...just in time for the cold weather. I'm a genius.
- There's a saying, "church is full of people who need to go to church." If you were sitting next to me, you'd be hearing an elderly group of people complain and talk bad about fellow church-goers. How sad.
- So a lady, probably late 40's, stopped by on her way out to say hi. She wanted to meet someone as confident as her to be eating alone at a restaurant. Ok…? I probably should have invited her to sit and talk…but…but I'm writing a blog post! I've never really thought about it being a confidence thing. I was just hungry and hate cooking for myself.
- The topic at the next table has switched to fashion. One old guy is going off on teachers who dress like their students. “How can teachers who dress like their students expect to get any respect?!” I look up and he’s staring right at me. What a jackass. He was so well dressed, I might have respected him...up until he opened his mouth.
- Some of the girls those dating sites are matching me up with are smokin’ hot. Can’t help but feel like their all way out of my league.
- My profile is like 3 sentences long. Should probably do something about that.
For the record, I'm proud that I remember the ladies name. It's Ann.
ReplyDeleteYou should have asked her to sit down. Wo knows who she could have been.
ReplyDeleteHa... you ordered a muffin didn't you? =;]
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could go without coffee like that. You are doing great!
I am sure that those hot ladies are in you league... everyone feels like that, even the hot ladies.
Thanksgiving with your girls will be so much fun, even without the parental units.
I've cut down on caffeine over the past few months myself. Sometimes it hurts, but I was getting too jittery!
ReplyDeleteI bet you'll have a great Thanksgiving...and something tells me the dating sites might at least introduce you to some fun and interesting, uh, muffins :)
CP - I know, I know... I'm slow man. It's been 12+ years since I been in the game. I thought about it probably when she was getting into her car.
ReplyDeleterabbit - Blueberry.
laura b - I was jonesin for some coffee this morning, but I didn't drink any...yet.
It's okay for kids to have one set of rules and customs at one parent's house and another at the other one's. They adapt to that.
ReplyDeleteAs a veteran of the on-line dating world, I feel I should warn you that some of those profiles are fakes. And by fake, I mean planted by the company to entice people to participate. And others are real people with fake photos or photos of the real person many years ago. But once you sift through all that, and notice the real people who might not be models, you can meet some very nice folks.
secret agent - One of our problems is that I don't really have any traditions set up yet. Need to work on that. And I hadn't thought of any of them being fake. Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading your blog for 30+ mins now. Just sayin'. Drive by comment much? hehe
