It is amazing how much

2010-01-05T01:29:00.001-05:00

more stuff you can get done by canceling your cable. I should have thought of this years ago.

Winter would be a lot better

2010-01-04T01:46:00.001-05:00

if there were more snow and less cold. I don't know how that would work but it would be better, I promise.

So do we say two thousand

2010-01-01T20:50:00.001-05:00

ten, twenty ten, oh ten, or just 10 for 2010? My vote is for oh ten. It has a nice ring to it.

For Christmas, my sister got me the book

2009-12-25T12:47:00.001-05:00

"What's Your Poo Telling You?" She also got me a book of insults and comebacks. They are making Christmas conversations very interesting.

My dog thinks that since

2009-12-22T01:46:00.001-05:00

the whole deck is covered in snow it is ok to use the restroom on it. Eww.

I don't think I can take

2009-12-18T01:05:00.001-05:00

the Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas song any more. It plays constantly at work and I think it might make my head explode. I am very glad Christmas songs only come around once a year.

I think sarcasm

2009-12-15T23:34:00.001-05:00

is best interpreted by other sarcastic people. Everyone else just looks at me funny.

I thought someone

2009-12-14T00:34:00.001-05:00

was coming in for a man-hug at lunch today. I didn't really know the guy and I am not really into the whole man-hug thing but I positioned myself to return the man-hug anyway. It turned out he wasn't going in for a man-hug after all, he was trying to say goodbye to the person behind me. Needless to say, it got really awkward after that.

Elephants are my favorite

When I put up the Christmas lights

2009-12-09T00:46:00.001-05:00

this year I tested every strand like always and then risked life and limb putting them up. After plugging them in, I noticed half a stand was out in a difficult to reach spot. This angered me because I was out of lights and it was raining so I decided to leave it. Anyway, here it is a week later and somehow it magically fixed itself and is working. I swear there is some kind of evil Christmas light fairy that just likes to mess with me.

I'm not sure why no one else

2009-12-06T14:33:00.001-05:00

seems to share my obsession with yard darts. The fun, the danger, what's not to like?

I have the next big product

2009-12-03T22:17:00.001-05:00

idea: Pre-made Toast!! It's genius. I should trademark that.

Today I found out that I do

2009-12-01T01:07:00.001-05:00

some of my best thinking on the roof.

Cyber Monday Sale

2009-11-30T10:24:00.001-05:00

Use the coupon code " TURDUCKEN " (all caps no quotes) to save 25% off everything in our online store. This would have been at the top of the page but the idiots that host our website decided to change my username and password then go on vacation so I can't edit anything. Thanks a lot web host people!

Every time I see a bag of flower

2009-11-26T01:52:00.001-05:00

I get this overwhelming urge to throw it off of something tall to see what kind of mess it would make. Am I the only one that gets this?

Meat flavored dog treats

2009-11-25T01:52:00.001-05:00

don't taste anything like they smell. They smell decent but I tasted one and it was horrible. I can't understand how my dog eats them.

There is a chance of snow here

2009-11-24T00:29:00.001-05:00

on Thanksgiving and I am debating about putting my winter tires on the car. On one hand if I do it, it won't snow at all. On the other hand, if I don't do it, it might snow and I might end up in a ditch. Such a dilemma.

Car manufacturers really need to

2009-11-18T01:34:00.001-05:00

make it easy to change light bulbs in their cars or make them with light bulbs that don't burn out. I want to speak with the engineer that thought it would be acceptable to make me remove the entire intake system and the battery to change burned out bulbs.

Battery powered tools are

2009-11-17T01:14:00.001-05:00

a great idea....until you use up all your batteries. Then they are pretty much useless for about an hour.

I went to the grocery store

2009-11-16T00:11:00.001-05:00

the other day and bought toothpaste and beer. When I went through the self checkout and scanned my items, the coupon machine spat out a coupon. Every time I get a coupon it is related to something that I purchased so I was a bit surprised when the coupon was for $1.00 off salad dressing. It makes no sense to me at all.

Sometime in the late 60's

2009-11-11T00:02:00.001-05:00

white and sea-foam green linoleum must have been popular. I found it living under my carpet yesterday. Tomorrow people are coming to put in ceramic tile and I have no idea how they are going to pry it up. I tried using a shovel to remove it but it didn't do any good. I feel bad for the tile people but rather good for myself for not having to do it. At least until I get the bill. Bad linoleum, go back to the 60's!

I hate the time change.

2009-11-08T16:49:00.001-05:00

Words cannot express my feelings towards it so I'm not going to write any.

I keep having a nagging

2009-11-06T00:23:00.001-05:00

urge to blow all the leaves from my yard into the neighbor's yard. They wouldn't notice, right?

I never realized how bad

2009-11-04T15:50:00.001-05:00

my feet smell until I left my shoes in my car the other day. I really hope that smell comes out.

My new favorite word

2009-11-02T17:03:00.001-05:00

is deluge. It just rolls off the tongue.
