And If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
And If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat...

When come back, bring pie! Thanks, 80! (Holy shit! Someone I don't personally know reads this!)

Apparently, Dayquil just doesn't do it for me anymore. I bowled horribly. I'd try Nyquil, but I imagine bowling while asleep is difficult. Maybe I should jump straight to the heroin overdose now and get it over with.

I'm concerned about my monitor shipment. The UPS website says that it's not BEHIND schedule, but the last entry shows it leaving California Wednesday morning at 1:30AM. One can only assume leprechauns are to blame.

I changed my blog template, I hope you like it. It's called BLUE something-or-other. The orange was making my EYES hurt. I may have inadvertently screwed up THE comments in the process, but there weren't many anyway. I mean, WHO really reads this shit anyway?

Gotta get to work now, hasta.

P.S. - Why did LB leave out this section, possibly the best written section, of the song in their remake???

Hamburger cup of coffee lettuce and tomato
Two times a dime to see a man kiss the alligater
One more time around free on the ferris wheel ride...

Today's entry is brought to you by the fine folks at Vick's, makers of that wonderful concoction Dayquil. Long live Vick's! MY life would not be the same without you.

I'm taking next week off work. I need a break. We had planned to visit Heather's grandmother and UNCLE in Sheldon, but Grandma Rose and her new boyfriend are headed to California. Madelyn has spring break, so at least I'll get to spend some time with her. She's at that age where we don't connect like we USED TO. She's only 6, and it will get worse I know, but still...I LOVE that girl, dammit! Beats ME. We have a father-daughter banquet Friday night for her Daisy Scout troop, so we'll see how that goes.

Chance is walking! He likes to walk with his left foot a lot more than his right foot, which leads to some serious spinning and spills, BUT he's walking. Heather and I tried to get some video this morning of him. SHE sat on the floor with him, and I tried to get him to walk to me. He'd take two or three steps with his left foot and then fall. I think it was too early in the morning.

Middle Child Syndrome - Anyone out there with two kids, please listen. If you have another child, and I'm not saying you shouldn't, but...the middle child will change. Joli isn't big enough to do the stuff Madelyn is, and yet too old to get away with the baby stuff Chance does. I try to give her all the attention I can, but that just strains my relationship with Madelyn even more. Joli is pretty much a Daddy's girl anyway. But her little episodes of crayons on the wall and Barbie haircuts need to stop.

My monitor at home DIED. Well, it didn't die, but it has some terminal health issues. The middle of the screen is blurry. The outside 2" is crystal clear all the way around, but the middle is garbage. Oh well, it's over 4 years old...I guess it has lived a good life. I have a 21" NEC on the way; it'll be here Monday.

I'm looking forward to bowling tonight. There's something about the Dayquil-alcohol combo that usually equates to me bowling well. I might try it sometime when I'm not sick, just to see (I'm kidding, dear).

My mom and step-dad got back from their vacation Monday. And, bless their kind souls, brought me golf balls. They also brought Allie (my step-neice) back from Oklahoma for the week, as she is on her spring break. I didn't ask how she was getting back. I hope her parents come and get her...it's always a good time with Kevin around.

Work is going well. I learned how to program IADs, a job previously reserved for Chinese-speaking employees. I even picked up a little "Chinglish" along the way. For instance, when Yu, Zhang says "sixty-something", I now know he means "thirty-something". Fabulous. I have no idea what he says when he really means "sixty-something"....maybe it will never come up. Anyway, in honor of my newfound ability, I have taken a Chinese name: Eet Sum Pi. After all, who doesn't like pie?

Well, time for another Dayquil dose. First visitor to post the lyrical genius responsible for the song contained in the post gets props on my next entry.
