It's About to Get Real

Tomorrow my blogging skills are getting put to the test.  I have to blog for a national competition and we have to be up in 5 1/2 hours.

Who's the Better Roommate?

The girl who never acknowledges my presence or the adorable little boy who woke me up at 6:20 to demand that I change his diaper and get him dressed?


I think Super Trooper wins.

Reasons Meijer is better than Walmart

Walmart experience: 
Me (after wandering around for five minutes to find an employee): "Do you have any more resume paper in stock, because it's out on the shelf? 

Walmart employee (after another five minutes of waiting around): Well we have card stock and that could be substituted for resume paper..." 

No, I didn't ask you if you had a questionable substitute I would like the real thing. 

Meijer experience:
Me: 
"Excuse me sir, do you have resume paper?"

Helpful Meijer employee:
"Yes right this way and we have it in multiple colors."

What I Learned This Weekend

1.  I can only participate in 5Ks on days with less than ideal temperatures. 

(example one: My first 5K with Bride and Mrs. MC)

(example two: The 5K last weekend with the Engineer and my Future Roomie.  We all would have had warmer clothes on but we all failed to bring them to Chambana.)

2. It's the little things in life that make the best days. 

After coming back to Newman and grabbing a delicious lunch with the Engineer, Future Roomie, and her man, Seventh Heaven surprised me by showing up in full force to escort me back home (after a tour of my "apartment" of course.)  

Next on the list of the little things was being able to eat home cooked food with Seventh Heaven and Big Bad.  After finishing off the ranch chicken enchiladas, we taught WiiMan and Elizabeth Taylor how to play 31.  

3. Dairy Queen isn't open late enough to catch up after two months of not seeing my best friends. 

Which is why we ended up sitting in the parking lot for two more hours...

What I Learned Today

When walking through the bathroom you should pay attention to random spots of water on the floor.  They can and will cause you to slip and possible bruise the side of your foot.  Which is a real downer when your main mode of transportation is walking.  It also does not increase your chances of a strong performance on quickly approaching 5Ks...
