January 21st, and 22nd 2011 - 43rd and 44th Day

I love Fridays.  How can anyone not love Friday.   No matter what happens, you know you have Saturday right on Friday's heels.   Work seems shorter on Friday's, and even when someone get's mad, you can take it in stride.  My wife and I always go on our date on Friday.  Tonight we went out to dinner at the Parrot Head.   We talked, we laughed, we cried (ok, we didn't really cry, but we did laugh and talk).   We then decided to go to Dillards and look for a Bridesmaid dress for Kaylee.  (Note to self: dont' shop for Bridesmaid dresses at Dillards)  After finding nothing there, we quickly went to JCPennys, and found absolutely nothing there either.  Nicole did find a lot of other pieces of clothing she liked at Dillards, and I'm now in the process of taking out a second mortgage so I can buy her an outfit or two (don't tell her, I want to surprise her).

Saturday was even a better day.  I woke up at 8:00, wrote my talk for church, then went on a 30 mile bike ride! I went with my brother and Ken Sheppard and they were nice and waited for me when I was panting like a Chihuahua who wants his taco (have you ever tried spelling Chihuahua without looking it up on Google, don't lie).   After I got home and took some oxygen, Hunter and I went shopping at Costco.  It's our weekly ritual, and it was fun.   The samples were great, but one of the sample guys was handing out Yogurt and I said, "I love yogurt!"  He then said rather grumpily, "Then why don't you buy some!"   Not sure why the yogurt guy was Mr. Grumpy pants, but I didn't buy yogurt, just to spite him, but I was still nice to him!  Then, we went to Walmart to shop for food and I said to Hunter, "Hey, wait for me, I have to go buy some pork chops."  Hunter said, "Why do you want to buy a fork lift?"   I said, "What are you talking about?"  Apparently, pork chops sounds like fork lift, but I'm not sure why he thought I was going to buy a fork lift.   We then came home and went to see the movie, "Mega Mind", but we got there late and the line was too long, so we came back home and made dinner and watched Psych (that's a hilarious show by the way).   We bought the Ellsworth's pool table for $75 and it doesn't fit in our house very well.  In fact, if you try to shoot from the side closest to the wall, you have to use a pencil with a good eraser, because the pool stick is too long.  Oh well, it was fun, maybe we'll just have to get a bigger house to fit the pool table, or better yet, when Amber leaves we'll turn her room into a billards room!  Sorry Amber, but once you're married, the room becomes a man cave!  Nicole said I should put in my blog that she is my goddess, my princess, and the best thing that has ever happened to me, so I'm putting it in my blog.  However, it is true, even if she had to coerce me a little.  Things I learned today, 1st, Dillards is too expensive for me, I'm sticking to JCPennys and Walmart.  2nd, They don't serve Parrot food at Parrot Head.  3rd, Ken and Kerry ride like Lance Armstrong, and I ride like Oprah Winfrey.  4th, Hunter is fun to hang out with, and he's funny.  5th, I don't need a forklift at Walmart, but it may come in handy lifting the bales of cash at Dillards when I want to buy a sweater.  6th, Having a pool table is going to be more fun than watching Dave the cable guy go through a car wash with his windows down.
