You Know What Really Bothers Me...

Well, I will tell you! Not that you thought I would, but still. What is really bothering me (at least at this very minute) is ants. Yep, ants. The tiny little black ants that thing they are just welcome to any area of your home including the kitchen. They are relentless and they are about to find out so am I.

Oh, did you take the trash out? Yes. Did we leave food on the counter. No. Was the kitchen perfectly spotless. Yes, and thank you Kate. Still, when we got home after being gone all day long a steady stream of ants were crawling out of hole behind the stove. And just in case you aren't sick of me saying yes and no... yes, from behind the stove.

Not looking for a handout or Bill Gates to create a software programs that deals with ants - although that would be cool. Just saying that I absolutely can't stand them and wish they would just leave me alone and build their nest/home base in the woods somewhere.

Needless to say now that I have ranted I have to solve the ant crisis of October 2011. Ant traps you say? Well, I say yes.

One Final Thing... Sorry!

I should stop hitting "publish post" and just try to finish a thought. See this is what happens when you move from beer to a lower calorie hard alcohol. You blog for hours on end. Oh well, you know you can't stop reading.

To be honest, now I can't stop thinking about my Halloween costume. Do I go something traditional or do I blow them away with a modern fresh idea. Make sense? What to do, what to do. I tend to make my costumes every year so they aren't so mainstream. And, no... before you say it I am not dressing up as Gates. Homer Simpson maybe, but not Gates. This is the hard part. Coming up with a great idea is the hard part. Designing the costume and planning for every detail is the fun part. At least that is how I feel. Others might like to buy a pre-made costume in a bag and if that works for you... well whatever.

In any case, anyone out there have any great costume ideas? Please tell me that I am not the only one who doesn't have their costume planned out. Seriously, it's technically still September. Can't start to plan too early.

I Should Be Ashamed of Myself

The minute I hit publish I realized I placed a great emphasis on my wedding in November and failed to mention something very important that is sure to happen before that. That one thing I did not talk about and jumped over without any level of respect was Halloween.

Yes, Halloween in just about 30 days we will be able to enjoy one of the best holidays on the plant. And, don't even tell me that you are too old to dress up. YOU ARE NEVER TO OLD! Dressing up is one of the best parts and going to a great Halloween party can make it even better. Every year we go to an amazing party that just makes Halloween the great holiday that it is. Heard they are creating a "scary cemetery" this year and I just can't wait.

So, with that being said... as I try to make myself look better I will look even that much better in my costume. Maybe it's time I moved from beer to bacardi and diet or even vodka on ice. See, I am already making improvements. I don't know if I would call me a nut health, but I would argue that I am starting to head in that direction.

Do My Eye Brows Look OK?

Well dear friends and fellow readers... we are officially about to enter October which means that we are just that much closer to November and of course, my wedding. Are you as excited as I am? Regardless of your level of excitement I have realized a few things as I inch closer to my union.

Ding, dong, ding dong. Those would be wedding bells in case you were wondering. It has recently dawned on me that some people spend a lot of time and energy into preparing themselves for the big wedding day. And, well, not to surprise you, but I am not talking about emotionally. Working out, tanning, and wide variety of other "maintenance" issues are common for both the bride and the groom. Why am I tell you this? Well, the answer is simple. I haven't done a thing.

Sure I could loose a few pounds and possibly a new hair cut wouldn't hurt, but really I am not 100% sure where to being. And, no I am not waiting for some type of free hand out to get my eyebrows waxed. Just saying I think I need to do something in the next few months to better myself.

And, I Feel Old

Do you ever have one of those days when you wake up and feel just a little bit older? For me, that day was today. I woke up with a sore back from throwing the football around last night and to be honest, a sore knee too. At what point did the simple act of tossing a football become a an open opportunity for injury? Just curious!

No, I am not looking for an hand out or a pity party. Just want to know if I am the only one going through these type of "changes". Can't wait to hear all the comments on that sentence. In any case, I did get out of bed and manage to get through the day with the help of a little aspirin. Thank you Kate for keeping that in the house. I will remember to check to see if the bottle is full before I go to play football next time.

In any case, I am off to work tonight so I am sure I will see some of you in just a few short hours. Don't give me a hard time if I am moving a little bit slower than usual. I am "aging" after all.

Tonight Is Good

Thought I was going to talk about grilling again? Or maybe wanting a hand out from Gates? Oh, no my dear friends I am not focusing on those subjects today. Now that the flu is gone and I am back to work (and feeling 110%) I would like to discuss football. Otherwise known as the thing that makes Sundays amazing and the rest of the week that much better.

On average, how much time do you spend watching football or football related shows? Is your plasma on the NFL network 24 hours a day. If so, I get where you are coming from. I love football and I find that when we are in the season I have so much to say about it. More than I do than say, waiting for a hand out or something. Good thing I am not sitting in a gas station while I write this.

In any case, I could probably go on all night. What teams I want to win, who I am starting in my fantasy football league, how much Kate also enjoys football (thank god!), but I will not. See, it's almost 8 where I live and I am about to watch something else that makes me very happy. Fall premiers. Talk to you all later and have a good night.

I Hate Being Sick

Apparently, EVERYONE is getting sick this week. Doesn't it always seem like the minute you have a cold you hear from a doctor or a friend that EVERYONE is getting sick. That kinda aggravates me because I know I am the only one out of my friends that is sick. Kate is even fine so who is this "everyone" else that is now sharing my pain?

Anyhow, no I am not waiting for some sympathy handout from Gates or from anyone at this point. I would just like to simply express that I hate being sick. Since I woke up this morning I have gone through four boxes of Kleenex or tissue or whatever else you would like to call it. I can't help but to call it Kleenex. Kleenex and Q-Tip are two brands that dominate. Pay respect. He, he, he.

In any case, I am sitting here sick and sharing this random cold medicine induced thoughts with you. Don't pretend that you don't love it. Well, if you are one of the "everyone" group that is sick also, I hope you feel better. Over and out for now. May I suggest vitamin C to everyone?!
