My alarm went off at 5:00 am as always so I dismissed it as I have a secondary alarm that goes off at 5:15 am. I absolutely need a backup alarm if I'm getting up anytime before 8:00 am. However, I either dismissed my second alarm or it didn't go off. I can never be too sure what exactly happened since I know I have groggily dismissed an alarm and passed out again. Luckily I woke up on my own around 5:38 am. Enough time to brush my teeth, take a pisser, throw on some clothes and start the car up. The car, 2000 Subaru Impreza Wagon, needs a tune up, but I don't really have the money right now. I always do my best to let it warm up in the morning, but now if it's really cold over night it gives a short squeal after I start it. Sigh...I really need to take it in.
Fast forward through my morning shift and it's around 8:00 am. Time to go home...at this point I really
I made a few phone calls and then I made myself a lunch. Smaller than normal but I wasn't too hungry. I had myself a bologna sandwich, pretzels, and an apple. While I ate I decided I'd watch Mythbusters. I love that show. Pulled it up on the instant queue of our Netflix and watched an episode about viral videos. Mythbusters tested all these things that happened in viral videos to see if they were actually possible. Every single video they tested was actually confirmed as possible. I don't think I've ever seen that happen. It was really neat.
Speaking of viral videos...here is one of my favorite that I discovered about a month ago. (I know it's not mythbustersable):
Anyway, back on the subject of my uneventful day. After lunch I showered and cleaned up around the house. Then off to the afternoon shift of my job. Nothing too exciting happened today at work. However, towards the end of the shift one of the kids and I decided to turn a bench at the lunch tables into a ramp for the Hot Wheels cars we have. That was neat way to end the day. He had a blast, which is what my job is all about.
Now on to home and I come home to help my wife sort out the rest of her shoes and find good spots for them. Then we took Lola out and threw her toy squirrel around for her to chase as she slid all over whatever ice and snow is still left. Next comes dinner...one of my favorite times of the day.
Dinner was absolutely delicious. I had myself two turkey cheese burgers; the wife had one. Along with the burgers we had some baked beans and some awesome couscous. I don't remember what flavor it was, but I remember Brooke said it was "pearl" couscous or something. It was formed of larger spheres than the couscous I was used to eating.
While eating dinner we watched this new show, "Million Dollar Money Drop." I'm not sure if you've seen or heard about that show so I'll give you the low down. There are two contestants, either related or best of friends, that start out with one million dollars...in cash...sitting on a table in front of them. They have to answer a series of eight questions wagering all of the money on all but one answer. In other words, one answer space must remain clear so there is a chance they can lose all of their money. In the beginning there are four answers and they have 60 seconds to answer. Then they have three answers with 90 seconds. On the last question, if they have any money left, they have unlimited time but only two answers to choose from. All I know is that being on that show would be SO nerve racking. Sitting at home I yell the answers to the contestants as if they can hear me and I wonder why they're putting any money on a certain answer, but at the same time I know it would be so tough making those decisions under all that pressure.
Now it's time to wind down my night. I do apologize for the less awesome post today, but I feel like I am going to try to make this a daily deal...even if some days may not be worth writing about, it's like keeping my place in history. Goodnight blog world.
