Best Damn Show Going Right Now

Only Dexter could make a normal morning routine seem so... murderish? Is that even a word? Seriously though.. this is the best show on TV right now... it's not even close.

Season 3 starts in October.. so you got plenty of time to rent/buy season 1 & 2 on DVD... or just watch it on Showtime On Demand (like we do).

A lavishly groomed Moustachio

Maria made the comment "Guns don't kill people, people with moustaches kill people" and then we (I) got going on a diatribe about how people with moustaches really aren't all that good at killing people because they aren't as aerodynamic.. "top heavy" if you will.

Guess you had to be there

Woot Makes Me Sad

Dear Woot,

I ordered the screaming monkeys at the end of the last woot off. I was sent a confirmation and the subsequent tracking information, no problem. Followed the progress of my package through the normal route, then it seemed like my packaged has been lost or vanished. Now my tracking info has started over (from Dallas, TX.), so I assume a new order is being sent out? It was been several weeks now and I just was wondering if I am correct about the original shipment being lost and that a new one is currently being sent in it's place. All my info is below for the original order.

Thanks,

Chad

It appears both items were returned to us for unknown reasons by the USPS. We can, however, have the items reshipped to you but we need the complete physical address you would like it shipped to. Please advise. Thanks for Wooting!

Not sure what to make of this... It's not like I haven't ordered close to 20 things from you already! I guess this isn't your fault woot, but the postal service's. I will vehemently dislike the postal service from now on, but woot is too dear to my heart for me to be mad for too long.

SADFACE:(

Need vs. Want

OK, we have a semi large yard that needs to be mowed quite frequently. We have 2 banged up mowers both Murray (went out of business about 5 years ago). We got the push mower free from family and it works well enough, but then we bought a Murray riding mower last year for $100. We bought that mower from our Church's yardsale and the money went into building a church down in Guatemala, so really the mower was a bonus. Well, I finally got the chance to work on it this past week and got it running pretty good and the deck engages and it's ready to cut... only problem is the damn mower won't shift into any gears.. just stuck in neutral.

So I NEED a riding lawnmower to cut my yard... my busted up rider NEEDS a new transmission.

I want THIS

We have a sears card with plenty of credit and would have until next April to pay it off. I would make room in the big shed to park it after every use. This post is an attempt to convince my boss to let me get one and sell the red abomination in the driveway. Help save me from push mowing the whole yard for another summer... Help me convince her~!

OH, and guess what... the monkeys were lost in shipping and new ones have been dispatched to take their place. Thanks Justin for rhymin' and stealin' my kids toys!

Condition: Screaming

I am bummed that the 3 screaming monkeys that are on the way have been delayed by a day. I cannot wait to get these monkeys and launch one up on stage this Sunday during the sermon. And shoot one over my supervisor's cubicle at work. And over the dog. And over the house. And over my neighbors house. And over the rainbow. And over a copy of Radiohead's "in rainbows" cd laying on the ground. And.. And...

Kansas Is For Lovers

Or at least I love them, since they just won me some cizash in my work pool. Yay

I couldn't come up with a better title for this than you already have baby... 5 years. These past 5 years have been the happiest and most joyful 5 years in my life. You are the perfect partner for me to share my life with. I love coming home to our busy house with the choruses of "daddy! daddy!" and as much as I complain about being worn out by the kids, I can't imagine our life being any different.

I love how much you care about how my day went and actually pretend to be interested in what I actually do at work. It makes me laugh how worried you can get about your body image, I think you look amazing. I love how well you take care of the kids, people ask me how you do it (manage with 4 kids) and I never have a good answer... maybe I should tell them "because she is SO money"?

I knew from our first official "date" (first night Annapolis) when we both sang along to Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me" in the car as loud as we could that I had found the one. I'm finding it's hard to write this in the short amount of time I have here at work today without things sounding cliche or from plagiarizing your blog too much.

I love that you think my farting is funny.
I love that you laugh at my dumb jokes when no-one else does. (you love to LOL)
I love that you want to have 23 children with me cause you think I'm that "money".
I love that you are the whitest person I know. (and I am possibly the nerdiest?)
I love that you care deeply for other people, like.. more than anyone I know.

I love you baby for all these things and so many more. I love you more than this blog post traveling through the inter-tubes could ever convey. I can't wait to see what the next 5 years have in store for us.

Love,

Chad

New Hotness

Maria and I bought ourselves a nice, new, digital SLR for our 5th anniversary coming up in a few days (April 5th to be exact). We take a ton of pics and just weren't happy with the quality of our point and shoot.

Some pics taken with the new hotness (click for large version, blogger dosen't support the insane resolution these are at, but they get the point across).

This One is For You.. JH
