New Shoes

Thought I'd share a funny today...

This married couple was on holiday in Pakistan. They were touring
around the marketplace looking at the goods, when they passed this
small sandal shop.

From inside they heard a gentleman with a Pakistani accent say, "You,
foreigners! Come in. Come into my humble shop." So the married couple
walked in. The Pakistani man said to them, "I have some special
sandals I think you'd be interested in. They make you wild at sex like
a great desert camel."

Well, the wife was really interested in buying the sandals after what
the man had claimed, but her husband felt he really didn't need them,
being the sex god he was.

The husband asked the man, "How could sandals make you into a sex
freak?" The Pakistani man replied, "Just try them on."

Well, the husband, after much badgering from his wife, finally
conceded to try them on. As soon as he slipped them onto his feet, he
got this wild look in his eyes, something his wife hadn't seen in many
years--- raw sexual power. In a blink of an eye, the husband rushed
the Pakistani man, threw him on a table and started tearing at the
guy's pants. But the Pakistani man was screaming, "You have them on
the wrong feet!"

Back from the pond...

Today since the kids were off of school I thought it would be good to get them out of the house and do something like go to the movies. They wanted two of their friends to go and they seem like good kids so I told them that would be fine. That way it gives me a chance to hang out with them and get an idea for sure what their friends are like. T the party pooper refused to go and told me I was on my own - thanks hon! Turned out to be a nice afternoon out - although when we got there everyone else in San Antonio decided to go to the movies too so the show we wanted to see was sold out. We bought tickets for the 3:30 show and I took the kids to get a Frap from starbucks since we had some extra time. I'm sure everyone was enjoying their coffee while relaxing to kids shouting "SIT DOWN YOU RETARD!"

Later, we made it to HOODWINKED - its a cartoon of Little Red Riding Hood with a twist. It had a couple of laughs throughout but for the most part I wasn't impressed with anything but the animation, that rocked. The kids gave it a thumbs up though so I guess that's all that matters.

This was the first time we've been to the movies here in the states in ohhh about 6 years so I was pretty impressed! Did you know THEY HAVE A VENDING AREA for soda refills AND a walk-up-to-me-and-pump-all-the-freakin-butter-you-want pump for popcorn!?!?! How cool is that?!? Don't freak out - they had all you can grab napkins too! :-)

After the movie they hung out in the arcade for a little bit and then we hit Evolution Skateboards so my oldest Kevin could check out the skateboards. He wants one for his birthday, I tried to talk him into the Wet Willy one - but he wouldn't go for it damnit.

So I joined Netflix wednesday night - it was around midnight and I was checking it out (I've had a couple friends refer me to them) and figured what the heck - if I don't like it I can cancel. I'm VERY bad with remembering to return movies - so the whole NO LATE FEE thing is what's getting me ;-) So I started making my queue and added movies that I want to see or want to see again. I included some that I want to see - some T might like (even though he VETO'd the whole Netflix idea) - and stuff the kids would like. Friday's mail brought me my first three movies - THEY ARE FAST! You watch the movies - they come in sleeves to return them all postage free. So I watch them, pop them in the envelope, have the kids run them up to the top of the street and mail them and in a day or two I'll have whatever is next in my queue. They have hubs all over the place so it makes getting them quick. I think it's going to be pretty cool because I love watching movies. T doesn't like them much but that's okay I just watch them on my own or since I'm on mids I started taking the portable DVD in and I watch them while I'm working. The joys of being an analyst ;-) Now I think I need to invest in that Dell with the Terabyte hard drive so I can start uhh.. 'archiving' yeah, that's it :-)

Hangin loose...

I finally called and got the internet problem sorted out here - our box only needed a reboot - but hey the computer is online and its SOOOO much faster than the laptop!! :-) T drove to his house yesterday to get the waterbed, tv, computer and some of the boys things so he will be back shortly. So you all will probably see us both on more often. And I sure hope that waterbed fills fast - not only will it be nice to get off this damn air mattress but think of all the money we'll save not having to replace the mattresses we've popped!! :-)

Slept in today and been chillin out for the most part. I did start to finally get the Christmas decorations taken down - this year I'm weeding out the un-needy stuff (I have TOO much!) - I bought some of those green/red ornament boxes too and it's so much easier than wrapping everything and putting it in a box - this way they have some protection and I only need to wrap the fragile ornaments... I love decorating for Christmas but I sure hate the taking down part!

T needs to get his butt home - i wanna make some waves!

Happy New Year!

Damn I wanted to hit the MegapleXXX today and I forgot - I so wanted to bring the New Year in with new goodies!! Guess we'll have to do without, oh well, wednesdays women get 20% off anyway... Took the family visiting to Riverwalk today - went and saw the Alamo. We did what everyone told me to do - find it - take a picture and don't bother. It's alot smaller than I imagined it to be that's for sure...

We're going to hang out with Dick Clark tonight (311 is going to be on!!) - got the shrimpies and we're steaming them right now, well Dad is doing them - that Old Bay smells sooooo damn good! I love me some Maryland Steamed Shrimp, it's ALMOST as delicious as Maryland Steamed Crabs! MMmmmm - Happy New Year y'all!! If you're home tonight too - don't forget to let the kiddies take the old pots and pans outside to make some noise!
