Wife and kid dropped me off, I walked up to the front.

That's not a fact you forget. But how the hell do you remember what year we discussed it?i was waiting for this. notebook is strong with this one. that was literally from chat in 2006.Or you could call AAA to change it while you're at home like Tigerfan.Very cool. And learn how to change a tire, Kylie. Unless you want to start carrying gift cards in your vag to pass out to those who help you.Made an emergency run to the grocery store last night for juice boxes with Little 'Zooks. Come out of the store to find I have a flat tire. Now I'm as handy with car stuff as GM is with Netflix or TRE is with running with a horse mask. I was still dressed from work and it was officially past Little 'Zooks bedtime and I've been dealing with some pulled muscle in my back and I have a sore throat (I'll just assume I'm not dying) I was trying to put the spare donut tire on, but he POS car jack I had was working very well (keep in mind I'm an idiot when it comes to this stuff) A girl comes walking by with her groceries and a stroller with 2 babies and she offers to have her husband help me when he gets there to pick her up. I told her no but she was insistent and then she asked to use my phone because her's wasn't charged. She calls the husband and I hear her say "we're ready, come get us, oh and when you get here get your jack out of the car and help this nice guy change his tire, he's in a suit and tie and he's getting dirty and he has his little son with him". So the husband pulls up and immediately gets his jack out tells me that he'll change the tire (I guess he could tell I was an idiot) He coudln't have been more than 25 years old. HIs car was a piece of junk and overall I was guessing this young family with one car was probably not doing great financially. He mentioned that he just got out of work and I notice his shirt says a local cleaning company which I happen to know the owner. So I told him I was gonna call his boss and tell him what a great person he has working for him. At first he says, no don't do that, then he says, well ok my name is Justin. Meanwhile the wife is entertaining her babies and listening to Little 'Zooks tell her a story about how he won a fart contest in school today. I kinda stood there thinking about how nice these people were and if I would've done the same thing. I thought I wanted to do something else for them, and I thought "what would SLB do"... So I said to them "these are the times I wished I carred around Panera gift cards". They were shuked. I asked them where they like to go out to eat and the wife said they don't really ever go out to eat. I told them I was gonna get them a gift card to a nice restaurant. The husband said no and not to bother but the wife said "someplace nice? Like Olive Gardnen?"I said "I was thinking Arby's"... again they were shuked. I told them I was kidding but I'd get them something. The husband wouldn't give in at first, but finally he gave me his address. I just got off the phone with the kid's boss and told him what a great employee he has working for him and at lunch I'm gonna get an Olive Garden gift card for them and a Toys R Us gift card for their kids. This seems like something SLB would do, so I figure its the right thing to do.

Is it only the memory, or is he being malicious to others?
I can't imagine seeing your father go through this. My grandma had Alzheimer's and it was just horrible to witness.

I didn't want them to go to waste. It was raining so hard there was no chance to stand in the parking lot and sell them. I didn't want them to go to waste. Yeah, I would have rather gone or actually gotten some money but I wasn't going to stay home and wallow in self pity. Sometimes things suck balls. I'm trying to learn and move on. Made me happy to hand them over to a couple kids.

Well, I guess I'm a little bummed that you couldn't go yourself because you feel like you can't afford to park the car.
Abraham

It was more than that. Money for drinks and food. My parents had planned to drive in to watch the kid and somehow managed to invite my brother and his wife and kids over to our house while we were going to be gone, which made me really mad. Add in the stress I've caused of late and I really didn't feel like putting on a happy face and then sweating at the supermarket tomorrow hoping my check card cleared when the kid needed milk and stuff. Just wasn't a good time to go to a concert. There will be others.

I'm off to north Texas in the morning to visit the family for Mother's Day weekend. Should be a fun little trip. Grilling steaks with the old man tomorrow night in celebration of early Mother's Day. The tailgate bus is parked in his yard, so the evening will pretty much be a big bentley family tailgate party complete with washers, cornhole, the Rangers on the 60" outdoor TV and a ton of beer. May let JR have a turn driving the riding mower around the place since he's almost four.
Usually we stop on the way up at the old train depot in West to let the boys play on the classic train cars but I think that place blew up so we'll have to find something else for them to do.

Yes. I would have procrastinated as much as this, but I had to fly to Hawaii so it took a bit more planning. But yes.

RIP Stu. I'm sure this one is different.
Let me ask this because maybe my notebook is lacking. Does she wants kids? Please say no.
Seriously.

I left everything to the wife. Why procrastinate when you can delegate with total laziness?

Urk> You have my utmost sympathies. In times like these, I like to read fiction to sort out my feelings on the matter (it works as a both a relieving distraction and a meditation on the event/problem/issue).
Check out Richard Powers' [url=http://www.amazon.com/Echo-Mak...268125&sr=8-6&keywords=Richard+Powershttp://www.amazon.com/Echo-Maker-Novel-ebook/dp/B000QCTMQ0/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1368268125&sr=8-6&keywords=Richard+Powers"]The Echo Maker. It's about a woman whose brother is in a terrible car accident. The accident robs him of the ability to discern his sister, and in a way this robs him of himself. It's fantastically written, winning the National Book Award, and Powers is one of the smartest fiction writers alive. I thought you might like to crawl into a story that explores the connection between identity, self, and memory.
Best.

So week one at my new gig is in the books. We meditated like usual on Tuesday and Thursday but the got in a little extra meditation yesterday during an all day training/discussion with a member of our adjunct faculty that was in to talk to us about openness and self care.
My boss comes in every day between 8:30-9 and leaves at 3:30 when we are not running sessions for groups. Our sessions are usually about a week long and after a session they expect you to take a comp day to recuperate. Two of the other facilitators did a session in Europe last week and when our director saw them on Monday he told them to make sure to take comp time for their travel too.
Oh and when I showed up on Monday the rest of the staff had autographed this book that we are featured in. I think I might have found the perfect job for me

Question: has good old fashioned one man one woman marriage become so uncool and abnormal that cutting edge hipsters are migrating back to it? "Did you hear about stu? Dude is so edgy...he's getting married,...to a woman!"

I've spent roughly the last 36 hours in bed with strep throat. I think I'm going crazy. I've watched a ton of crappy movies (made crockpot chicken to a young Reese Witherspoon and Alyssa Milano in "Fear") You would think with all these movie channels something good would come on. At one point Sideways was on Cinemax but after reading reviews here, I thought it might make me gay so I watched The Notebook instead.

I was tempted to fly Tanner in to officiate. But that flight would have doubled our total wedding* costs. So I've got a buddy doing it instead.*I've been reluctant to even call this a wedding since it's so small and informal. 16 guests at a local restaurant, no flowers, no invitations, no photographer, no real plan.

I ask my mom every time I talk to her if he shows any signs of violence and she swears he doesn't. Nor have my brother & I seen it when we've been there. It's more like (teenaged) petulence when he perceives things out of kilter or is asked to do something he doesn't want to do.
