Starting to get that “almost have a cold” feeling. Need Umcka on an IV drop at my cube.
Max slipped climbing up the ladder to the slide. I caught her but she bit her lip a bit. Cool thing is, she climbed back up right away.
Interesting that the family that doesn’t put out recycling always has an overflowing trash can. Is it that hard? Really?
Just finished putting up a shelf in the attic for storing empty boxes. Feels a little counterproductive.
Where’s the organic milk, Food Lion? Silly Californian! It’s in the organic section in the corner, where the other silly Californians shop.
Love how the Roomba makes a cheery little jingle when it’s completed a room. I can tell he loves his job.
Maxine really hated getting her hair cut, but she loves it now that it’s shorter. Video here -> http://vimeo.com/3889545
Just finished getting the baby a haircut. After 15 minutes of crying, she loves her new hair. [?]
Good Morning cat. What? You don’t like the food I gave you last night? Thanks for waking me up to tell me.
Got my NC plates now. Remembering the good old days in high school when I needed foam tape on it to keep bass from rattling. #iusedtobecool
For any waiters out there: when a guy, alone with a baby, asks for a fork, don’t point them out across the room. Hook a brotha up!
These dark chocolate covered pomegranate bites the wife found at Costco are addictive. Can’t stop eating them. Will bring some to work, yum!
Having a Pete’s Wicked Ale, my favorite bottled beer. $4.99 for a 6-pack at Target, I buy them out when I can. ($7.99 elsewhere)
Netbooks at costco. Aspire One 8.9 and HP mini 10. Never thought I’d see the day, guess they’re mainstream now? http://twitpic.com/2fw3s
Forgot to feed the cat last night. He let us know at 5am this morning. Won’t be making that mistake again anytime soon.
WTF? Woz made it through to the next round? Unbelievable, I didn’t even vote for him cause he didn’t deserve it. #votewoz
I love being the house with the most recycling and the least garbage. Another week of not bringing it to the curb.
I really wanted to vote for Woz, but this week it just doesn’t seem right. #votewoz ??
Just finished another month video for Maxine. If you don’t like cute kids running like crazy, no need to watch. http://vimeo.com/3806007
Finally got to watch the iphone 3.0 event. Those guys at Smule with the Ocarina and the Leaf Trombone are on a different level. Amazing.
Do I need flash on my iPhone? No. What I need is for stupid web developers to stop using it when they shouldn’t. A flash lunch menu? Srsly?
Looks like someone bought me a book from my Amazon wish list. Best revenue model for an open source project, by far! http://is.gd/opE2
Just had the door held for me on the way in AND out of a deli. Either people are in a good mood today in NC, or I’m looking pretty today.
First weekend of the year that I think I need to mow the lawn. Actually looking forward to it.
Dollhouse just got crazy. Don’t miss tonight’s episode. Won’t ruin it, but damn, last 15 minutes are nuts.
My dad used to always say, “Using teeth for tongs or tools is only done by witless fools.” This guy is a fool! http://twitpic.com/2bb5b
Driving home and pass wife and baby out for a walk with some friends in the neighborhood. Beautiful day and a great place to live.
OH: “We really were talking that loud, we apologized to our neighbors” No really? I couldn’t tell with my headphones on and music blasting.
Another week, another vote for Woz. He actually improved this time, impressed! http://is.gd/nDME #votewoz
Finally getting around to watching “My Super Ex-Girlfriend”. It’s pretty crap, worse than I expected. Sorry @rainnwilson, you still rule.
At the mall food court, why do the Chinese places always hollar at people? “Hey baby, what you doin? You look good, want a free sample?”
Having dinner at a Mexican place in Durham. Table next to us orders this orange drink with three straws served in a fishbowl. To be young…
Remember Ewoks? Course you do. Did you know the word “Ewok” was never said in Return of the Jedi? Lucas = Master Marketeer http://is.gd/n6Jj
At the dermo getting my stitches out. Soon I will be beautiful again!
ADT Installer: How’d you make them taco shells curl like that? Wife: Um, they’re tortillas. Where the hell did we move?
Just learned we’re getting a big ol tax refund. Gonna pay off some dept, get new countertops, oh happy day.
I voted for Woz. http://is.gd/mCNr #votewoz
Having my favorite coffee, Counter Culture Guatemala Huehuetenango. Starting this week off right. http://is.gd/mwiK
Feeling snacky. Went to grab a “Go Rah” trail mix bar, but got distracted by the Rice Krispies Treats. Damn you crispy marshmallow squares!
Checking out, guy doesn’t notice the “line here” sign and walks up to the counter. I call him on it, he gets pissy. Am I the asshole here?
Heading to the mall to get some fresh beans and let max run. Best thing about old shopping malls, lots of running room since nobody’s here!
Hungry, coffee-less. Cat woke me up at 7:30 but the wife and child are still asleep. Love early morning Saturdays.
I have a headache. Related: I have much less hair on my head than I remember. Unrelated: My headstitches are tiny. http://twitpic.com/1vw46
Just had this cyst removed from my head. 15 minutes, 2 stitches. Had it for 5+ years, gonna miss that little guy. http://twitpic.com/1vp8b
Short Cappuccino is the best drink at Starbucks, hands down. Too bad it’s not on the menu and more people don’t know about it.
Directv HD dvr is fried, getting a new one sent out. Thank goodness for OTA sesame street recordings and the mac mini, otherwise angry baby
Met with ADT guy today about a home security system. Sad that we need to consider it here, but there’s been some breakins in the area lately
Just realized that we’re at the age where Maxine can easily be the annoying baby at dinner. Guess our nights out as a family are on hold.
Can anyone explain to me how, during the worst month of this recession so far, my amazon affiliate revenue is up 2x? Save your money people!
Flying burritos in CH missed the mark today. Wouldn’t take my coupon, gave us the wrong tacos and half the guac as last time. Oh well.
