Life in Bullets
There are not enough hours in the day. So, let's recap the last week. (A week? Really? What the hell have I been doing? Where has the time gone?) And since I'm too lazy to remember how to make actual bullets, we'll do it by paragraphs. Deal? Deal. Let's roll.
Paragraph the First: ABC Stay at Home Week - I'm so happy that television is back. It's like coming back from spring break. Sure the crap they showed in July got you all worked up, but at the end of the day it was crap. (Seriously? Wipeout?) But all the great television is slowing seeping back on to my DVR. It's nice to have television shows that have a purpose again. I am such a nerd, I made a spread sheet with the schedule of my favorites and the new ones I wanted to try. So far, Monday is the busiest day. Shows on every network and my DVR is smoking by the end of the night. The rest of the week is manageable. Although kickball does delay some of it.
Paragraph the Second: Kickball is back! With zero weeks off between Summer and Fall leagues, we were gung ho and ready to go. New season, new shirts, new teammates. Thank god we are now purple instead of puke orange.
Paragraph the Third: My office had a fun filled event at Celebration Station is Mesquite on Saturday. This is one of those places that has go-karts, mini-golf, bumper boats, paint ball, laser tag, arcade, rock climbing, batting cages and food. It was fun. Mostly. Although, I got yelled at by the fat guy working the mini golf counter. Apparently that was included in our All Inclusive Wristbands, but he made me pay. Somehow the manager got told that I had to pay. When the fat guy was confronted the called me a liar. A LIAR. He said that he hadn't sold me the $8 mini-golf. He fought me over $8. Seriously? But he wasn't the only stellar employee! The guy with four teeth working the go-kart track took more than 20 minutes for each round of drivers. He had to open the gas tank of each go-kart each time. He took his sweet ass time getting the karts back into the stall. He announced the rules before each set of drivers even though those same rules were on a loop over the loud speaker. Like I said, stellar employees. But aside from the monkeys working there, we had a pretty good time.
Paragraph the Fourth: Didja see that OU game? OU beats TCU and jumps to number one in the polls! Boomer Sooner!
Paragraph the Fifth: I need to change my layout. Any suggestions on theme? Do y'all even go see the actual page anymore? Or are you doing all your reading in feed readers?
Paragraph the Sixth: It's October. I'm tired. I took a half day. Sort of. I meant to take 2 hours this morning from 7:45 - 9:30 or so. I finally left work at 11:30. So much for taking a day off. It's October. It's our busiest month.
Paragraph the Seventh: Tom and Abby are engaged! Well, they've been engaged for like six months, but who's counting. They had a party Saturday night to celebrate. It was the perfect way to end that day let me tell you. Of course we got there late because of the OU game, but we got to hang out for awhile. Tom made me try Port. Port tastes like cough syrup. Yuck. I'll stick to my beer, thanks. But hooray for Tom and Abby!
Paragraph the Eighth: Uno is better. He started his own Facebook page. (Well, Catbook page.) You should check it out and be his friend.
Paragraph the Ninth: The DAM software was installed. My DAM guy was here three days last week. Maybe that's why I didn't update. He was a project on his own. We went out for cocktails each night he was here. I had OT as a result. But the DAM software is installed! As one of my major goals, I'm SO excited to have that all installed and ready to go.
Paragraph the Tenth: The week of one color is next week. It's the week in October where we all wear costumes and have fun activities all week. My mom is making me a poodle skirt for that week. It's awesome. Well, it's my interpretation of a poodle skirt. I think I'm a little punk rocker at heart which is reflected in said poodle skirt. There will be pictures. My mom is making the skirt. You can tell that she's bored. I mean she's been on house arrest for over a month now. She doesn't want to listen to the doctors...I mean she doesn't want to lay down for her required two hours. She feels fine and wants to get out and go and do. But she can't. They won't let her. So, I brought her a project. She latched on to it like an alcoholic at a brewery. I thought she was going to finish it entirely that day. She was CRAVING something to do. It was was awesome to see her reaction.
So that's my week. In a nutshell. And I'm late for kickball. So, enjoy the paragraphs. See ya!

I read from your webpage. And you must do all you can to keep RoboMom busy.
Yes, gratuitous use of the nickname. I had to say it. It called to me.
