Work was pretty uneventful. Afterward I went and got a membership at a local gym. Did 15 of cardio and 15 of weights. Yeah, I know it’s not much, but realize I haven’t done anything workout-ish in 2+ years. Plan on keeping it up and losing most of the lard. At least that’s the plan.

Came home and showered, then went to the Jaycee’s meeting. Same old stuff there: talk, discuss, and play the poker. I had a good time sitting with the guys and playing cards. It was relaxing and I didn’t have to think. That’s probably why I was out after an hour. Oh well, again, it was fun.

Yesterday at work we got to wear jeans, bring food, and generally have more fun than usual. I think a good time was had by all. My day was busy with customer calls and the usual office-work, but it was a beautiful day inside and outside the office.

Em replaced the drain in the bathtub yesterday during her day off. I must say she is the best handy-wife ever. She found two fountains at the local shop, but I wasn’t totally impressed with either. There was one that had 2 tiers which I preferred. Three tiers with our little yard would be too much, IMO.

Before I went to bed, I started some clothes drying (I had forgotten to start the dryer). Then as I’m turning out the light I hear thumping – assume there are shoes in the dryer and move on. THEN – thump, meow, thump, meow…..

Apparently Waffle (cat) had been napping with the clothes and was being dried. Fortunately she was only in there a few seconds and was only rattled, but it was hilarious to watch her stumble out from the confusion.

Em got the brilliant idea to stripe her hair today. It didn’t go so well. I was forced to make an emergency trip to Walgreens to get dye to cover the effects. I think her hair is revolting against the changes.

The kids and I went to the park again today and kicked the soccer ball around, among other things. Then we had Subway for dinner and I’m now waiting for my FOX Sunday night shows to start. Unfortunately racing is on until 7.

It was a wild day. Tysia stayed the night, so all 3 kids had fun playing and terrorizing me. I cooked on the grill for lunch and the kids played at the park for a bit.

Em did not have to work today, so she got to sleep in a little and have a day off. This evening Mom came and watched Erich and Amaya so that Em and I could go have dinner.

We went to this new place called Willy’s (formerly “The Hardwood”). Em’s cousin Pam was working. Their food is good, but nothing to jump around about. It was very nice to see Pammy.

After seeing Pam and having dinner, we went to Wal-Mart. I hate Wal-Mart. They force manufacturers to reduce the cost of their products to the point they are worthless, and then we are excited because a pair of jeans cost 2 cents less.

Anyway, that was our wild Saturday.

Well, my afternoon off was uneventful. I got a haircut (Thank you Jami!), and went to Carbondale for a minute. Picked up a shirt for Em that I hope she’ll find as funny as I did.

Picked up pizza, Cinderella, and Sky High for the kiddos. They had fun kinda paying attention to Sky High and eating the pizza. They whined as usual when I put them to bed, but passed right out. I guess playing hard wears them out. Who knew?

I’m still waiting to see if Em has to work tomorrow. I hope not, I miss her.
