Sunday things and stuff.

A visit to the A & W web site revealed that they do indeed have burgers and all sorts of food other than the hot dog. Who'd a thunk? Maybe the next time I'm at the food court I might have to try a Papa Burger.
While listening to the radio this morning, I heard an ad for priests. Yep, a radio ad for people to think about giving the priesthood a shot. Right after the ad for truck drivers and before the one for the strip club.
The ad featured current priests telling us that they found their life's calling by becoming a priest. That's nice, but I'd like to think that a career as a priest would come as some sort of revelation divined by a spiritual force - not an ad on the radio. Doesn't the Army advertise the same way?
For the record, the new mattress is an absolute dream. It was more money than I wanted to spend, but in the end, it was worth every penny. There's nothing like a good night's sleep, and I had been on that old lumpy thing for so long I forgot how nice a good one felt. If you're on a mattress that is more than 10 years old, trust me, go out and find one of these pillow top deals and thank me later. Waking up without back and neck pain and feeling rested is worth every nickel you'll spend.
The San Diego Chargers gave the Patriots a run for their money today, but ultimately the power always wins, and in this case, the power is the big team from New England. Now, at 6pm, it boils down to the stinking Packers and the stinking Giants as to who will contest the Patriots in the so-called Super Bowl.
When does baseball season start?

I don't watch pro football and I can't stand the Pats because I hate Brady. I think we have a bit to wait for the first pitch to be thrown.

chicken sammiches too huh? wow.
i have this little tiny mug i've had since i was a kid in my china cabinet that my mom got for us one time. i'll have to ask her the story cause i was just a kid.

so yeah as the game is in overtime at the moment jamie is screaming like raving loon at the tv in the basement. giants are his team. whatever. [guess they won he just said?!?]

glad you're getting good sleep. i think i would get good sleep if:
1) jamie would sleep in a different room as he snores to holy hell and back. i'm good if i can get to sleep before him but i toss and turn and he's a rock so....

and

2) if my dogs didn't sleep with me. i sleep on my side and maggie lays right behind my legs and adam in front of my chest/stomach. i can't move.

but they keep me warm and that's good cause jamie kicks the blankets off every damn night.

it's a wonder he lives to see the morning really.

anna: So, who's your baseball team? The Braves, I'm thinking.

Kimmy: Yeah, the stinking fraud Giants won. Now I'll have to figure out what to do for Super Bowl Sunday.

Now, let's sit back and see if the A & W people hit up the blog.

I am working on G-man now on getting a new mattress. It's a delicate procedure. He grew up "poor" so he thinks he needs to hold onto everything, I mean E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G. He's not rich, but he's also not poor now. I'm not trying to change HIM but if he can let go of a lot of the 15-year-old-dust-covered things maybe I will feel like I live there. I already broke the sink (long story but it wasn't my fault) so he had to get a new one in the bathroom. Now I'm working on the bed. A lot of the things he has are his father's. His father's been dead for a few years and G-man doesn't even know what half the shit is in his house. He had a waterbed frame (tells ya how old THAT bed is!) but the mattress.....God knows how old it is. It's too hard for me so I'm trying to adjust. But I'm workin on getting him to get a new one. I'm trying to work on the bed bug angle (I haven't seen or felt any but ya never know....)

Thirteen Little Quirks Don't Judge 1. Shaking Hands. I'm starting to get a little goofy about shaking hands. When a stranger shakes my hand, I am uneasy until I can find a chance to wash. 2. Door Handles. Likewise. I usually grip the handle someplace where I think others aren't. When I can, I push with my elbow or closed fist. I don't get sick much, either. 3. I trim my underarm hair. I think that's good for everyone involved. 4. Change . I almost never use change. If something is $1.01 and I have a nickel, they're not getting it. Take a penny, leave a penny? Go ahead, I have a change jar to maintain. 5. Penmanship and spelling. A high priority. If you saw my handwriting, you would know what I mean. Strangers compliment me on it. I look at it as both artwork and a courtesy to the people I'm communicating with that they can read and comprehend whan I'm doing. The downside is that I can never get away with anything based on not being able to read my handw...

My weekly supermarket trip is generally odd enough to support a blog of its own, but God (and Bill O'Reilly) knows I don't need something else to do. Last night, I'm standing in line with my usual assortment of odd items, when I see the woman in front of me hesitate for a moment. The cashier had told her that her order came to $124.25, and this caused the woman to ponder, "I want to make this check out so that I get cash back. What's the limit?" That's right - the check . Of course, the cashier didn't know, because ... c'mon, who writes checks to begin with? She turned to a co-worker and asked. The response came back that the limit was $30. The woman was relieved, for some unknown reason. She said she needed more than $25. She looked at the total again, and then started to make out the check. "Is it OK if I make this out for $150 even ? I need a little extra." Which, actually is a question and a statament, but I digress. She proce...

Thirteen Things That Scare Me a Little The Christmas decorations are up at the local mall, but never mind that. Tuesday is Hallowe'en. 1. Any letter from my Condo Association. It makes my heart skip a beat. Usually it's something really stupid that I'm not doing. Tell the people who are doing it and leave me alone. 2. Spam e-mail with T.M.I. I recently got a Spam message that contained my first and last name, from a Landon Nicholson (no relation) telling me that "Your history shows that your Viagra prescription is ready to be re-filled." Uh-huh. My personal history shows that I need Viagra like I need a hair dryer and a comb. 3. When the Boss says, "You got a minute?" He never calls me in to chit-chat. 4. Dying alone. I don't need to elaborate on that, except to say that if I needed Viagra, I wouldn't be worried about it. 5. George W. Bush with his hand on the Bible. I keep waiting for it to burst into flames . 6. My spin instructo...
