09 Year In Review

Well, it's been a heck of a year with quite a bit of interesting things happening along the way. We started the year off on a somewhat sad note with the Bakery Closing, then we had the quite humorous post about the Attic Incident. I finished my 4th and best poker table as a gift to my buddy Chris. Then to help get our minds off things a bit we had our Trip to Vegas. We got to go see Pauly Shore at the comedy club. Lil Bo joined the boy scouts and is so far enjoying it. Amy started working at the Dollar Store, and we finally got her a car that she loves, but it is currently getting a new clutch and won't be ready till the New Year. The rebuild on the porch didn't quite get finished, and neither did Bo's Tree house, but they are started and it shouldn't take much more to finish them up. The garage is finally cleared of the bakery equipment and the pool table is being repair witch means the "game room" will be ready soon hopefully. This year seems to have been the year for people joining face book. I've re-connected with friends and family that I haven't seen or spoken to in years. It's been nice to just be able to read and see how people are doing. Over all it has been quite an interesting year. I'd probably have more to review had I been a tad more consistent with posting blogs, but maybe that will be part of the thing for 2010, post more blogs. Looking forward I think next year will be a year of change. Hope everyone has a safe and wonderful New Year, and I hope you take a moment to reflect on the past year and look forward to the new possibilities awaiting you in the coming year. Life life to it's fullest, enjoy it while you have it, (my favorite right now) I ain't getting any younger, and all those other clichés LOL.

Date Night - Comedy Club

For the first time in what seems like ages the wife and I were able to get out for a bit of fun this past Saturday. As it happens it's usually quite a tad on the short notice side of things, but hey when you get the opportunity most the time you have to sort of take advantage of it. Well, we had to make a delivery up to Tallahassee to drop of some of the tables from closing the shop down. (This is a good thing, cleans up the garage that much more getting me just a nudge closer to being able to set my pool table back up) After that we drove around for a few min.. mainly killing time to meet some friends for dinner. During this time our plan was to check out the Comedy Club in Tallahassee. I've been wanting to go there ever since I noticed the small little building when we drive around town up there. Finally, go our chance. Being somewhat thoughtful I figured hey why don't I just stop in while we are up this way and buy the tickets. It was about 5:30pm.. The show started at 8pm and we were going to be eating at Logan's right around the corner. All went smooth the tickets were about $12 a piece, not bad considering it would cost more to see a movie and this was going to be much funnier lol.. This was only my 3 time going to a comedy club, and later I found out that they "assign" your seats based on when you purchase tickets. This put us right under the microphone. Seriously, we were so close that if I laughed it was broadcast over the whole room.. Anyway, It was a really good time. Some highlights were:

• The feature comic looked down at me and told me I had "Soap Opera" hair. I was like dang, I'm glad I got that hair cut last week!
• Next he asked my name, not wanting to sound professional I used my nick name and replied with Bobby, his reply was "What are you 5? I'll just call ya Big Mike"
  

There were quite a few things that happened, but I must say I completely enjoyed it. The comics were quite funny, and you can never go wrong with a night of laughter. It was a fantastic evening with the wife and some friends that I know will be talking about for years to come. I love making memories like that.

The Epidural

Let's begin with a quick brief history. Just about everyday for lunch around 1ish, I leave the office and head into the house to have a nice lunch with the wife and during this 30min to hour time together we usually catch up on some tv shows that we enjoy watching. Since we are caught up on most the shows that we do like, I figured we could take this time to check out a new show that's been out there called "Worst Week". It sounded kinda funny and figured maybe this would be a good change up from the other shows we watch. The title of the most recently aired episode was called "The Epidural". From this one episode it seems to based on this one particular guys unfortunate luck in life and the chain of events that seem to follow. Often with detrimental effects on his well being. During this particular episode he ends up getting beat up by a mail lady, taken to a hospital, given an epidural for his broken tail bone inflicted by the mail lady. During the same time his wife is in labor at a different hospital about to give birth. In his haste to make it to the other hospital he ignores the nurses warning that the effects of the epidural will take about 15min. However, before this time frame is reached he manages to make it out of the hospital, hail a taxi and get within 3 blocks of the correct hospital. At witch point they encounter heavy traffic (of course) and he must exit the taxi and walk the rest of the way. This was pretty funny, because by this time the epidural has taken full effect numbing his lower extremities. Something he has completely forgot about. As he attempts to exit the cab he immediately falls to the ground due to the lack of feeling in his legs.. My wife and I laughed out loud at this together. Now I told you that to reveal just how fun our family can be. Tonight, I came in from work, grabbed the remote and sat down while Amy was over browsing the net. I'm not quite sure how long she had been there, but after about 20min she went to get up to start dinner. She was sitting in the chase lounge and since it practically swallows her up it takes a second or two for her to crawl out of it and almost exactly like the show we had watched earlier as she begins to stand up and walk she immediately does a face plant into the floor. Apparently, due to her vertically challenged legs, and the way the chase elevates her legs while she is sunk in, her legs fell asleep on her. I know, I really should have gotten up and attempted to help her up.. but it was too difficult to move while laughing my ass off. Just so you know she is ok, and she was laughing her ass off too ;) We have such a great time around here.

Just thought I'd share a little piece of what happen on practically a daily bases. I'm shocked we have not needed more medical attention yet.....

As I mature

Got this in an email the other day, thought it was funny and figured I'd post it up ;)
