Guilty Pleasures & Favorite Pastimes

  1. Saving money.
  2. Telling customer service agents they are wrong.
  3. Getting an unexpected instant rebate.
  4. Pressing all the buttons in a very long elevator ride and getting off at the first floor it comes to.
  5. Blowing bubbles with kids.
  6. Popping my gum.
  7. Typing really fast with long fingernails.
  8. Telling someone to "shush" at the movies.
  9. Eating peanut butter out of the jar with a spoon.
  10. Going home 5 minutes early from work...every day.
  11. Blatantly ignoring the Mexicans at Winco who are so desperate for female attention.
  12. Chasing the DHL driver 16 blocks to give him a package.
  13. Driving home from the gym late at night with the windows down and the hip hop up.
  14. Smelling Home Depot when I first walk into the store.
  15. Making it through the QFC self-scan without cussing or asking for assistance.
  16. Putting in a new lightbulb and having that new bulb work for years and years inexplicably. Must be my expertise in choosing lightbulbs.
  17. Listening to XM Radio at work.
  18. Receiving medical bills or other bills I shouldn't have to pay and talking the billing office into giving me a "one-time courtesy" exception.
  19. Posting sticky notes all over the wall of my cubicle like some type of skitzoid.
  20. Eating a whole pack of Orbitz gum in less than 3 days.

HIJACK

This post is not coming to you VIA Jennifer. This is her husband, Erik. I decided to hijack her blog (ah...the things you can do when in possession of another's password) and tell her how I feel about her. This will probably not be posted for long, I am sure as soon as she sees it she will remove it. HERE GOES! Jennifer, my dear, I love you oh so very much. On Monday is our 1 year anniversary! A whole year! That may not seem like much, but my oh my it has flown by quickly. Since you are a relative young'un that year actually represents around 4.76% of your entire lifespan(thus far). I still keep my eye out for things that represent 'US'. Who can forget the 'EJ' Truck? I have never stopped looking for, nor noting 28s as they pop up all over the place. I notice all of the little things you do. I notice the little faces you make. I notice the little noises you make. I notice the slight shifting of your posture in response to my incessant joking.

One Month Old

Tyler turned one month old on Friday! He has grown and changed a lot just in the last couple of weeks.

We've had a hard week though (make that almost two weeks--I've been trying to publish this post for 5 days). The other day he screamed for almost 24 hours straight. Luckily Jaime came over to show me how to help relieve his gas and he calmed down for a couple of hours. He has been up all night, up all day and just kind of hard to deal with. Of course I still love him, which is weird. Usually its hard to love someone who deprives you of sleep. :) Update: Like I said, I have been trying to publish this for almost a week--I have had literally no time between work and a screaming baby and laundry and dishes and cooking and cleaning but alas I think I now have 5 minutes! Anyway, Ty...
