Be Gone

The power robbers from next door had to leave for stealing too much electricity. Mr. Smart Guy Husband actually tampered with the powerbox and got caught. When they caught him he said his son did it. Either way that didn't fly with the power company and they had to pack up their things and find a new neighborhood to steal power from. Their house was gutted and everything thrown into a dumpster. I guess they left a few things behind... like the drugs they were making in their basement.

Made in China

Out of all the things being dipped in poisonous lead you would've never thought Hannah Montana would be one of those things.
Fans are being advised to not shake her hand or even ask for an autograph since she could inadvertently contaminate the paper she is signing. A friend of Hannah's said that Hannah accidentally tripped into a giant vat of lead paint at her recent concert in China. I couldn't believe it until I turned on the morning news.

See ya later attention span

We miss you attention span.

Steal First and Ask for Permission Later

'Twas the night before Wednesday, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;

Pictures are hung above the fireplace with care,
But not just in the living-room, they're everywhere;

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
With visions of SpongeBob dancing in their heads;

And mamma on the couch and me with my drink,
Had just settled down to watch The Weakest Link,

When out in the back there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the couch to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But an electric cable in my outlet and vanishing into the rear,

What in the #%!$ am I seeing outside my backdoor,
I knew in a moment it must be neighbor.

More rapid than eagles I grabbed my jacket and ran to the back,
And I witnessed it first hand, a cable stealing power from my jack,

"Holy, Crap! And what the #%!$!"
I'm not taking this very well,

I grab the plug and yank it out of the wall!
No, this isn't happening! Not now, not at all!"

So back inside the house I go,
What the crap are they thinking, I would like to know,

And then, in a twinkling, I heard the door bell ding-dong,
It was our neighbor saying, "I didn't mean to. Was that wrong?"

As I thought to myself - Is this person for real?
Oh yes, she is. From your neighbors it's ok to steal.

She claimed her power was out and she couldn't see in the dark of night,
And thought that stealing our electricity would give her some light,

We offered her a flashlight to go,
But she didn't need it and left saying, "No".

Strange this may seem, but it's happened before,
Just a few weeks ago they came knocking at our door,

They wanted two eggs right around midnight,
"Who bakes at this hour? That just doesn't seem right."

They even stole our sprinkler right off our lawn,
and didn't give it back till we told them that's wrong,

But there is something I have learned from this whole mess,
It's better to steal first and ask for permission later, I guess.

Chicken for Dinner

We had dinner with Amber and Kristie tonight. It was really good. They made chicken and beans.

Heavy Snow

It's Saturday and we've been home all day just cleaning and taking it easy. Jamie & Axel were going to come over at 4pm to play WARLORDS... now it's 6:30pm and they're still not here. I'm not surprised.
In the late afternoon it started snowing and it's coming down heavy.



That might be the reason Jamie & Axel aren't here yet. Driving Jamie's Mustang in the snow is like trying to drive on solid ice. She has zero traction in the snow. She never drives in the snow. Hagen too - His car goes into hibernation for the winter season. I think he still takes time to clean the rims at least once a day though.
6:36 and it looks like it has stopped snowing. As soon as they get the road to my house plowed Jamie should arrive. I expect to see them around 10pm. That should give us just enough time to play one round of WARLORDS before they have to go home.
7:33 - They finally arrived and the kids were excited! They've been waiting all day.
We played around with Rubik's Cube for a while and had some play food. Then we bowled, the Strike Brothers against the Bowling Sisters. Jamie came up with the team names which fit perfect since Parker was racking up the strikes.
