Shee-it! Friday Already!!

I do not understand why so many people cannot find their way around an airport. Sky Harbor Intl. is not a HUGE Place.... it has only 3 terminals (used to be 4), and many signs to direct you to exits either on the East, or West side. But so many people I know do get confused driving there, even if only dropping a passenger off. This morning, I became the Take-me-to-the-airport Guy for my FIL. He had a nice, early departure time, that I had to be at his place at 4am. Needless to say, 40 min later I am back home (it's that easy!) and doing emails, etc. No sense going back to bed to get up 2 hours later to run the daughter to school.

So, Friday made it here and I wasn't really paying attention. Guess I got my mind on doing some other things... though, I couldn't even begin to guess what they are/were/should have been. No major plans this weekend.

Next Friday, though, there is going to be a "Boy's Only" party at my place. Yeah, the Wife and daughter are leaving town, together, overnight, so me and the boys is gonna celebrate "MEN" style. I figure, dinner out, go to the cinema for a movie, and back home to watch videos until we pass out.... drinking lots of Root Beer and maybe have some ice cream too. Wife is chaperoning a trip for the daughter's Vocal Ensemble for a competition up north somewhere. Good time for me and the boys. Looking forward to it.

That's it for now. Laters!

Over the Kick Start Day

I could tell yesterday was Monday... it was hard to get motivated to do anything. At one point, I even laid down, expecting it to only be about an hour. Turned into a 3 1/2 hour nap - though I did feel lots better afterwards.

Sunday, though long, was a good day. The Race happened between my Sis, Reverend Mother, and Stuman. I was there to help coordinate stopwatches, and take pictures. It was a run of 2 miles, and scoring would be based on US Army PT regulations. Meaning, what time they ran it in, modify in the age bracket, and a score is given. Prior to looking up the scores, based on time alone, Stuman was first, then Sis, then Reverend Mother. Now, that was sort of to be expected. RM being the eldest, and Stuman the youngest.

Once we got back to the house, they were all anxiously asking about their score (because Stuman was the one able to figure out the stuff - him being in Army Reserve and all). After the scores, they were able to finally relax and enjoy whatever the rest of us left for them for lunch. Man, there was plenty of food too. I think my family ended up taking home a good third of it seems.

Oh! The scores! Sis had the highest, followed closely by Stuman, and RM pulled 3rd, but only 1 point behind Stuman. Now, I promised I would not embarrass any by their ages (if I haven't already in a prior post) but RM is Mom to all three of us kids.... so she ain't 20! But she sure ran like she was in her 30's! I gotta give it up to her... she was within about 5 min Stuman. That is someone determined and in fairly good shape! And Sis has been working hard at it in order to beat Stuman! I know I would never had made it.

Anyways, I have no plans this week. Nothing on schedule for today. Y'all have a good one.

The Never Ending Day

Today is Sunday. The day of rest. I don't think I will be getting much. It is already 6:30am and I am up and awake. Even after going to bed after 12 and not getting to sleep til after 1 ... and I can't sleep now either. So, here I am.

Today we are headed out to Sis's place. We are sort of combining her and her son's birthdays (this is the middle between them both date-wise). There is supposed to be some Carna Asada on the grill, chips, and soda (tea is possibly being made for me). I am expecting Stuman to come up from "down South" as well. There is to be a special RACE EVENT today.

I am not sure how the actual full story goes, but the details are that Reverend Mother, Sis, and Stuman will be running the timed mile today. I am thinking they may want to do it before eating, but am not sure when they are planning it. Either way, the ladies felt that they could do the mile in under the time required for female Army personnel. Stuman has to run his in under the men's time. As Reverend Mother has pointed out to me, it isn't important about the time they actually finish it the race, bu that they are doing something healthy in trying it. For the past few weeks (months?) I know Sis and RM have been walking/jogging to prepare.

At one point I was encouraged to join in. I declined stating that I would be there at the finish line with the timer in one hand and a beer in the other. Today, that will be tea instead I think. Besides, I don't think we (and I mean more I than anything) need a heart attack and hospital trip today.

Alrighty, I am off to explore websites. Gotta get me some free samples of something today.

When it Rains, It Pours

Another morning with the rain coming down in the Valley. Already, from news radio, I have heard we have received over an inch of rain so far this week. They are said to expect another 2-4 inches on top of what has come already. This morning started the safety warnings from the Fire Depts. regarding the flooding. The Flood Control Center is up and running (for a portion of Phoenix and valley in the flood zone - which I am not).

I guess over all it is better than being in certain areas of California. Heard many have left homes on the hillsides, for fear of mudslides. Let alone the whole deal with the tornado warnings.

So, bottom line is today is another day I will feel sorta blah. Maybe I will work on the photo project. Maybe I will play some WoW. A nap somewhere during the day is definitely good.

Don't know why, but am craving bacon like crazy this morn....

Another Rainy Day

I can't believe this! Again it is raining today in Arizona. In fact, I heard a clip of the weather on the radio this morning, and they were saying it is supposed to continue all week. PLUS, there is a chance we may get more rain this week than we did all of last year! Oh my! That'll be fun to deal with flooding, bad enough drivers here don't seem to know how to drive in rain.... I am SO not looking forward to this week.

Today...hmph. I go in a couple hours to have my first two crowns put in. Then followed with a periodental check up. Yee. Haw.

Cruisin' through my blog list today, I found this over at Why My Life Sucks. Nice video...take 5 and watch it.

The Warrior Song

That's it for now...unless something really interesting happens.

For Rudy in Ottawa - Blah! It's Monday!!

Weekend is over, and I have just awoken this Monday morning. First thought through my head was 'Did I wake up early?' I mean, it was dark yet.... so I peeked out the door, and it is one of those overcast, rainy days. On a Monday. Blah. Make me feel gloomier than I already do....

And I sit here, and realize why I should feel so gloomy. Rudy form Ottawa left a comment for me at some point, that made me realize I have been neglecting many of you. I mean, after all, this is called Boobies & Beer... shouldn't you see some when ya Google that?

And ya know, I don't feel so blah after seeing some of these ... without further fanfare or bitching, a selection of pics for you today. (Sorry Reverend Mother).

Definitely a Beer & Boobies saver!! Wish I knew what brand of beer though....


Football playoffs are in swing.... too bad these aren't swinging too...

Oh, to catch the BIG ONES!


Some schooling for ya that may need it.... I leave ya with a thought - I wish those were my hands....

That's it. Rudy, hope you liked.
