Hurricane?!?

Being the wonderful organization that they are, the Saints have decided to help out the Dolphins for tonights preseason football game.

Have they cancelled the game out of respect for the families? Have they donated a portion of the proceeds to charity?

No. They moved the start time up by a half hour. That’s right, thirty minutes.

That goes to show you what a class organization they are.

iMac

Most people would think that four computers (3 laptops and 1 desktop) would be plenty for family of four (with two kids under 7). Yesterday, I would have agreed.

Today, apple introduced the new iMac.

Where’s my credit card?

Today 8/31/04

A day in the life….

Emily has started using her sewing machine that she received for her birthday. Anyone need a dress? Just remember, like any other artist she can be temperamental.:twisted:

Doodle had karate tonight and did pretty well.

The most important moment of the day happened at bedtime. Doodle read his first ‘real’ book to us. It was “Just a Bully” by Mercer Meyer. All I can say is that he made me really proud. He’s doing great.

The adults worked. Again. Enough said.

Today 8/30/04

Let’s see what went on today….

Emily had orientation for pre-school today. Her teacher re-emphasized that she has to wear closed-toe shoes to school. This does not make her happy.:evil: Anyone that knows her understands that she only wears high heeled fip-flops. Should be interesting next week when school starts.

Doodle went to school and came home. Big whoop. He also did is homework.:smile:

The adults went to work. Very exciting.

I read “Just a Bully”, “Just My Friend” and “Just a Mess” by Mercer Mayer to the kids before bedtime.

Deep Thoughts

Deep thoughts by Doodle…

According to Doodle:

Everyone has noticed how time seems to more quickly when someone is having fun.

So Doodle says:

He wants recess to be boring so that times move slowly, so that recess lasts longer.

Understand?

Good.

Today 8/29/04

Pretty good day, all-in-all.

The kids were still a bit tired from the trip to the zoo yesterday. Renee’ had to work tonight, so me and the kids took off to Gulfport. Man, I know how to live.

We had lunch at Applebee’s with Uncle Alex. Bien, as usual.

Headed over to Home Depot to buy some $8.00 light bulbs for the ceiling fan in the living room. Freakin’ halogen bulbs.

Then off to the $200.00 Store. Uh, that would be Sam’s. Made it out of their for under $184.00. Suprised myself with the total damage.

Finally, back home for bath and bedtime reading.

FF Draft

Here’s the team that I ended up with after the draft.

A. Brooks – QB
H. Ward – WR
D. Mason – WR
M. Robinson – WR
C. Portis – RB
D. Davis – RB
K. Winslow – TE
T. Jones – RB
J. Garcia – QB
J. Kleinsasser – TE
J. Jones – RB
J. Elam Den – K
J. Hanson – K
Tennessee – DEF
Denver – DEF

All in all, not too bad considering that I missed the first half of the draft due to a brain cramp. Sometimes, I can be really stupid.
