Missed opportunity

Carl, the kids, and I went to the mall yesterday to finish up our shopping. We didn't have a whole lot to do so we wound up window shopping and people watching.

At one point we were on the escalator heading up to the second level. Carl turned around and said, "Uh oh... we didn't go in the bookstore. Do you want to head back down and go?"

I said, "Nah. I don't need any new books now. I've got plenty."

I swear I thought his eyes were going to bug out of his head. And I thought he would never turn back around to watch where he was going. I just knew he was going to fall on his butt when we got to the top of the escalator.

He said, "WHAT? YOU don't want to go to the bookstore?"

I said, "No. I've got plenty to read. Plus I need to read the next book for my book club, but I wouldn't mind going in."

We didn't go back. It's the time of year to think of others.

But good grief I want a new book. BAD.

Woo hoo!!!

I haven't been to a concert in FO-EVAH. As a matter of fact, I think the last one I went to was either Rascall Flatts or Big & Rich a couple of years ago.

So I am so, so, so excited that Carl and I are going to one this Thursday. We are going to see Theory of a Deadman... a rock group that is... well... AWESOME.

Here is one of their videos...



I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am about seeing these guys. Carl heard them on the radio and bought a CD... I can't get enough of it.

My hubby doesn't ask for much. When I told him this group was going to be at a local venue he got this little look on his face and said "Can we go?" I couldn't deny him. At. All.

I just hope Dad can babysit. :)

Crazy Ivan

Last night was the first time I've watched Heroes in a couple of weeks and I LOVED it. That was the show I fell in love with a couple of years ago. I may actually try to watch it again next week.

Especially if Sylar is in it again. OMG... those scenes with Elle were KILLING me.

Conversations in my house

While Carl was home for dinner last night, J-man sat at the table to talk to him while he ate. I was attempting to navigate the mess that is in our living room floor (it's not that bad I promise) and I told J-man that he needed to pick up his skis.

He asked what that meant and Carl said, "You've got big feet, dude! Your shoes look like skis"...

and the conversation then went downhill...

C: You know what they say about big feet?

J: No what?

C: Means you have a big... you know.

J: Cool!!!

Me: That isn't true!!! That is an old wives tale. I have been told a theory that seems to work better. You look at a guy's fingers! If they are long and skinny then.... you know. If they are short and stubby, then... mmm hmmm.

J: Well, I've got long fingers...

C: Yeah, man! Your fingers are longer than mine!

J: (begins to chant) I've got a bigger penis!! I've got a bigger penis!!

OMG!!!! I have not laughed that hard in FOREVER.

Yes... we have these kinds of conversations all. the. time.

Boys...

7 things meme

My dad started it and Coffee Table did it after him. I thought I would take a chance and ask Carl. I asked him to tell you 7 things about me that you don't know. He doesn't like to type so I am sitting at the computer and will type while he tells me what to say.

I'm scared...

1. She is the smartest person I know.
2. She is beautiful and caring.
3. She will go above and beyond for a friend.
4. She has lost a lot of weight and became more active.
5. She likes to play Guild Wars more than anything in the world.
6. She cares a lot about work. She takes her time to do it right.
7. She worries way TOO much about money.

That wasn't so bad. He's a man of few words, huh?

Thank you, honey. That was sweet of you to do.
