Weekend Observations

I Believe I Can Fly. Got to play some basketball over the weekend for the first time in years. And although my ability to suck air was greatly decreased, my ability to run with the big boys is still in tack.

The Ring Tattoo. I’m finding more and more that women just don’t think it’s as romantic as I do to get a ring tattoo to replace the jewelry. I’ve also been reading that finger tattoos tend to blur really easy. Gonna have to rethink this.

Moving. It sucks. I guess I’m glad it wasn’t me, but moving both my brother and sister during a Michigan winter really blows. Nice places though!

Walking Through Stores. Not a good idea for me. I see too many things that I must have, even though my life has been just fine up until this point without them. It’s better to just stay out of stores.

Free Stuff. They’re not always free. Tanner’s Ducktape Man won Jason’s superhero contest and the free DVD. But it cost me $10 in materials, and another $10 for a movie to give Tanner that he could actually watch. (The DVD Jason gave away was PG-13). But like Tonia said, a Sunday afternoon with your son… Priceless.

Speaking of Sunday. If you aren’t enjoying a hassle-free Sabbath day, you are really doing yourself a disservice. Lazy Sunday’s are an extremely important part of a healthy Mud Puppy.

New Media Glitches. This weekend I encountered my two first glitches with my new media outlets. First I received a damaged/missing Netflix envelope from the post office. Then I tried twice to record a program on my DVR, and both times it didn’t record the show.

I’m So Vain. Last night I went out to dinner with my wife, and I wore a watch that I knew for a fact didn’t work simply because it looked good with the shirt.

Milk, Bread & Eggs

I actually got a phone call from my wife asking me to pick up milk, bread and eggs from the grocery store. That order sounds so cliche, but it’s true. So I detoured down to my local grocery store, Busch’s, to pick up the goods. While there I ran into, Brandon, one of my favorite Busch’s employees. Then I made myself some free coffee. I believe it was some sort of Hawaiian blend. (I don’t even drink coffee.) Then I took off down the first isle to get the goods. I got distracted and wandered over to see if there were any magazines I had to have.

I have a serious problem in grocery stores. Tonia can attest to that. I could honestly spend hours floating down each isle, wondering how my life would be enhanced with every little option at my disposal. Now that I think about it, I’m surprised that Tonia even asked me to pick up anything. She always makes fun of me for coming home with a bag full of items after asking me to pick up one simple thing. She must have been desprate.

I actually considered writing about this while walking down my fifth isle (one that I knew didn’t have any milk, bread or eggs) and that effected the outcome of my trip. I wanted to be good and buy only the requested items to prove that I could do it.

Does anyone else have this problem in the grocery store?
