NADS hair removal does not work. I tried it and Mike tried it and it pulls out about 2 hairs. nice. I guess something with the name NADS you should question anyway.
Last night I went to Shanda's Mary Kay party (no comment) while Mike hung out with Gabe and Tyler. Afterwards, Tyler and I were playing around and wrestling. As they were watching baseball I said to him, "Who's your favorite baseball player?" He loves Sammy Sosa so I thought he'd say that. Nope. He says in his most conversational three-year old voice, "Ummm, I sink it's my dad." His dad plays softball every week and he loves to go. Isn't that the cutest? Then he told Mike, "I'm going to help you put your sandals on cuz your feet stink!" Last, Gabe asks him to tell us what he did at dinner tonight. "I tooted and then we blamed it on Mommy." :-)
I do not suggest watching Brandy: Special Delivery on MTV. It's very dumb.
Tim Penny, former MN Congressman announced today that he is leaving the DFL party and running on the Independence Party ticket for governor against Roger Moe (DFL) and Tim Pawlenty (R). I already liked Tim Penny, so this really excites me about the race this year.
I'm looking forward to the weekend, and only a three day week next week. Then, vacation from July 4-10. Mike leaves tonight for 'up Nort' for his 10-day vacation. He's got all kinds of plans and I told him to not get drunk and fall down. He responded, "I won't get drunk and fall into the bonfire." I Hope not!

Got into a discussion with a guy at work today on the whole Pop, Soda, Coke, Tonic issue. He didn't believe me that I had heard that in Boston it's tonic, other ares it's Soda. In Minnesota it's Pop. I know that in North Carolina, it's Coke, no matter the brand. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it tonic if it's flavored and fizzy in Boston?
It's DAMN hot here and we have no air at work. Can you say a** of a landlord? Called the guy in the past 2 weeks almost everyday because we've had the motor in the air conditioner break, the toilet in the women's bathroom is missing the bolt that holds the ball down, 2 computers crashed, one entire room lost power (kids blew fuses hooking up sound equipment) and two desks lost power from their outlets. It was hilarious. The landlord 'claims' that we are doing something. All the while this guy smokes like 3 packs a day, including while he is visiting you in our office. Considering we work against the tobacco industry, it's quite the giggle :) At least we're getting the computers fixed!!
Got the Osbourne's Family Album CD today. The guy I mentioned that I am having the debate with bought it for a giveaway at an event. He then realized it had parental advisory stickers on it and we can't have that! Thus, I scored a CD. It has good songs on it including Pat Boone's version of Crazy Train. (The theme song version on MTV).
Also included are: Papa Don't Preach, John Lennon's Imagine, The Car's Drive, Eric Clapton's Wonderful Tonight, Mama I'm Coming Home, and the original Crazy Train. Complete with great lines from the TV show, the best quote is written in the liner notes: "I love you more then life itself...but you'r f***ing mad..." America's New Family. :)

Mike L.: you deserve a medal of honor for sitting through a ceremony like that. I would have laughed and gotten into trouble. Or, perhaps, it was so bad you couldn't even laugh? That should go into a Cameron Crowe movie, because it's waaaay worse then Joe singing "Greatest Love of All" in Say Anything.
Weekend was a slow hot one, in the 90's. Left work at noon on Friday and had lunch with some co-workers. Nice to blow off some steam. We have a rule in the summer: do not work more then 37.5 hours if you can help it, as that is all we are required to work. Since we work 60 hour weeks or more in the winter, we all try to take advantage of summer months. Got home, took a lovely nap..which I have been unable to do in a long time. Mike and I went out shopping but I got cranky and annoyed. Pricing as usual was f*ed up. Target is usually good on not screwing ya, but at the cash register that night I was ready to tell them they were turning into Kmart. As a result, Mike did not receive the shirt he wanted and I did not get my Osbournes CD. Went on to Kohl's where Mike purchased a cool pair of 'dress sandals' for work. He calls them his Jesus shoes. I was so proud of him-he suggested getting them, not me!
Saturday we went to a different Target but no shirt. Went out to a not so great lunch at Perkins and then went to Wal-Greens. We purchased the semi-famous 'Nads' hair removal solution. Let's just see if it's fricking works like the commercial SAYS it does. Pain-free my ass...none of that waxing stuff works without a little bit of pain in my book. Remember the Friends episode (Ross and Rachel break up) while Monica and Phoebe use "I so want to be a Waxine girl!". Joe eats it when they get stuck in the bedroom because it's supposed to be all natural...
Visited our apartment pool both Saturday and Sunday. Nothing great, but it cools you off. I think the fun in it is watching the people. Sunday we went to Tyler's 3rd Birthday party. Never seen a kid who did not want to open his presents-wanted to play in his pool instead. However, he did get a Slip and Slide, so soon that was the popular item with the kids. Man, that thing has changed since I was kid. Now there is a bumper at the end to prevent you from going flying into the grass. Also chatted with Gabe's dad, who is one of the funniest old farts I've ever known. He's in his early 70's, has no teeth, survived Mercury poisoning from fish, broke his hip and leg, walks with a limp and a cane, gone through 2 wives who died of lung cancer, and has lived to tell about it all. When I came walking he said, "There's the one that tackled Mike for life..." Last year when I saw him he said, "Didn't you pose for PlayBoy?" As you can tell, this is where Gabe gets his sense of humor.
I am happy to report that while visiting both Target's, I did not have any crazy women in mini-vans telling me to move it over. I will concede with my brother: we are turning into cranky older people........:-)
