Patriot Act?Frosty: I swore she said she was going to bust a cap in Obama.

Prosecution: I believe what she said was 'I am knitting a cap for your mama.'

Frosty: Well ####, after so much talking it all runs together.

Topics this evening have included how she doesn't get how her sister could let their dog just run around after eating a loaf of pumpkin chocolate chip bread instead of taking it to the vet, how our house is haunted, how she thinks she lived in an A-Frame house in a previous life (I don't know what this means), and how nobody ever asks her to to make potatoes for christmas.

On a scale of 1-10 I love my wife 10/10, I really do, and she did take a break from talking to do some stuff, but honestly it's like it's beyond her to sit and just watch a TV show for 22-42 minutes.

 
So I started fixing up an old school desk that my brothers and I used as children. My Mom got it for us when the elementary school she went to as a child was selling all it's crap. Anyways, there was like 4 coats of ugly paint covering this old old wooden desk that I've been sanding down for the past 2 days. If my jerkass boys don't draw me dinosaur pictures at this thing, I'm gonna be pissed.

I do, too, but sometimes you have to step away for a bit.

If you folks aren't aware, I manage a facility that exports grain. That means I get to see nearly 100 different truck drivers daily. I sometimes get cards and such from some if the trucking companies which is nice. Hell, one of them gave me a bottle of Captain and a card with $50.

A different guy came in today and gave me a case of Bud Light. What am I supposed to do with that? I think I'll sell it on eBay.

The trick is the counter attack.

"I love pumpkin bread. Does she use fresh pumpkin or the canned stuff? Personally I find it hard to work with fresh pumpkin. I think the canned stuff tastes better any way don't you? Just right there in the can. You can use it anytime you like. Just put it under the can opener and grrrrrr, pumpkin. So what kind of chocolate chips does she use? You got your sweet, your semi-sweet. Personally I think you need to get a block of some fine Belgium chocolate and chip pieces away. I'm sorry, what were you saying?".

Not doing this.

 
Remember when Katie Holmes went topless in The Gift? And it was back when the internet wasn't what it is today so nobody knew it was coming? And she had been the good girl on Dawson's Creek and in the media so she was the last person you'd expect to do nudity? Then all of a sudden boom there's boobs? Man that was sweet.

Apparently it was the result of some Hollywood deal where she got a spokesperson/model lady job for some perfume that she wanted.

Never seen Happy Endings, but give it to someone else because I just take things. Thanks though.

 
I've got a stack of movies/shows that we don't want that my wife is sick of looking at and wants to sell to Half Price Books. We'd get like, 4 dollars or something so I'd rather just send them to somebody here. Anybody want a box of stuff?

A little birdy told my that part one of your gift arrives tomorrow. The second part may be well after New Years. Something about 7 day delivery or something.

For the record, this is not downtown. It's a good $20 cab ride to downtown but about as much distance from the stadium as downtown (i.e about 10 minutes either way)

My truck drivers don't give me anything. But our agents send us food and stuff. I only get a 6pack from my peer and a bottle of Jack from my boss.

Speaking of Jack, congrats to Thorn and Bogart on the GMTAN fantasy league championship. I shall shot-vid toast you shortly.

Fish > It was a run. You paid my entry fee so take the winnings and do something for our my entertainment and we'll call it even.

I generally keep the Disneys, but I have a handful of other kids stuff. I don't know if IB has kids but if not I can ship you that stuff.

I also have the newest Futurama, Simpsons, and Family Guy at work if anybody wants those but you'll have to wait a bit since I don't have to work for like 100 days.

ok, let me give a quick update (also, if anything important was posted in the last two weeks, I've missed it. I don't think i'm catching up).

To set the table -- still living in the basement apartment. It's still kinda weird. Wife now working Tuesday, Wed, and Thurs, from 8:30 til 6:30 or so, meaning I get the kids to school and get them after school and give them dinner and do bedtime. So, essentially, Tues-Thursdays are "my" days, Monday is her day. Friday is weird because I coach my son's basketball team from 8-9, so I'm around. But I guess it could be her day. And we generally split Sat and Sunday. But we are still working out the kinks.

So, two holiday parties in the neighborhood last week. Wife wanted to go, but it was on "her" day to have the kids. The first party was for kids, say from about 6-9 or so. The second was an adult only deal. Both were full of our joint friends (essentially, the parents of my kids' friends from school.

I get a text from the mom of one of my son's friends (and who is also friends with my wife), asking if I was going to the second party (note: she knows our pseudo-separation situation) I say I don't know, it's [wife's] day with the kids, but that she really wanted to go, so I'd probably watch the kids so she could.

Her reply: you should leave the kids in front of a movie and come. I've got a friend I want you to meet.

me: really?

Her: yeah. You'd like her.

I didn't reply quickly enough, I guess, so she wrote again.

Her: She's fun, funny, in shape, and likes sex.

me: um. . . . .

Her: come on, you should go!

me: Well, it would be nice to see some friends I haven't seen in a while.

her: great! see you there.

So, I tell my wife that I'm thinking about going to the second party after all, that I want to hang out. She's says fine (actually, it wasn't that simple. We had a bit of a fight first over whether I was responsible for the kids even though it was her day, and whether she had to ask me first -- jackhole Sweet J quote: "Sure, I'll watch them on Saturday, but you need to ask me to do it." For the love of god, she couldn't bring herself to just ask nicely. But I digress.)

So we go to the first party. At nine or so, wife goes to the party with a girlfriend, and I take the kids home and get them set up in front of a movie in my room (sleepover in Dad's place!!), and head back out. The other party is nice. I'm into my third beer when I meet the meddling mom and her friend. The friend is about 40 or so, blond. From what I can tell by a very revealing dress, she's in what appears to be fantastic shape. Vivacious. Quite pretty. In the process of getting a divorce. And . . . after about a 10 minute conversation . . . appears to be a bit on the crazy side. Talks a little too much about herself. . . . A little strange. A little with the crazy eyes. Mentioned how she liked sex in my conversation with her. Also could tell from my conversation that she already knew a bit about me from her friend. So . . . . yeah.

I try to mingle. But of course, by my 4th beer or so, it was hard not to flirt a bit with her. Ended up stuck in a conversation a little too long for my taste. About 20 minutes in to my conversation with her, my wife comes up and says: "I'm going home." Uh, oh. So I excuse myself, and track her down (she was going to walk home). It's only a mile, but still. I tell her I'll drive home too, that I've had enough time at the party.

of course, she's furious with me. Just fuming. And extremely . . . agitated. Said the minute she saw the girl (crazy eyes) come in the party, she knew I wouldn't be able to resist talking/flirting with her (if she only knew about the attempted set-up by a woman shes FRIENDS with). And that she saw I was making googly eyes at her for 20 mintutes straight in the corner of a room at the party. And that . . . well she went on for a bit. At one point, she started crying. Oh good lord. I say that I'm sorry to have spent time giving attention to another woman at a party that she was also at, and that I shouldn't have done that (I really shouldn't), although I don't really think I was flirting (well, actually, I probably was. Dammit). Anyway, I apologize about 15 different ways, and we both head to separate corners and sleep it off. She had said that I could go back to the party if I wanted to, but I'm not stepping in that sh$t storm. Too bad, because the party was kinda fun.

We made up the next day pretty well. Apologized again, and so did she, for over-reacting.

I thought we were ok. And then a couple days later I was getting my box of crap together to send my GMTAN secret santa (over the last week or so, when I noticed something that would be good, I threw it in a box). I noticed that it was empty. I asked her about it, and she was like, "Oh, that thing? Yeah, I thought that was stuff you were getting rid of, so I donated it." (you mean the box with UNOPENED and still wrapped DVDs? And The CD I just got -- Micheal Bolton's Christmas, but still). Yeah, TOTAL accident.

Oh, and I got a text from the neighborhood friend: Crazy eyes is interested and wants me to call. She sent me her info. My friggen life. . . .

Sounds like she overreacted but honestly you shouldn't be attending the same social events together, especially if you're living in the same house. Too much drama.

I got one of those vest/jacket things that don't have sleeves from Cantor Fitzgerald. Never worn one of those sleeveless things before. Bet it's a great look on a guy with guns like mine.

First year I didn't get anything. I've been a huge ###hole to our suppliers, for good reason.

 
Any Ausitn guys want to come over in the morning and help out?

We're doing a new photo shoot and I need to prepare a bunch of food to photograph.

I could use some help in the kitchen and moving crap around the house so he can 'compose" good shots.

I'm cooking:

Grilled Filet Mignon w/ au poive sauce

Steamed King crab legs with drawn butter

Slow roasted pork with green chile sauce

Grilled Smoked pork chop with broccoli rabe

Oysters rockefeller

Raw oysters on the half shell

Shrimp and cod poached in coconut milk with diced yams

Jalepenos stuffed with wild boar & cheddar, wrapped in bacon and served with tzatzki sauce

Beet salad with spinach, bacon and goat cheese

Oven roased fresh brussel sprouts

Kale sauteed with bacon

Shrimp with baby bella mushrooms and snow peas

Avocado stuffed with shrimp and crab salad

Louie salad with king crab and prawns

Mussels diablo

Cinnamon glazed carrots

Other stuff I have not yet determined.

 
I'm getting sauced by myself at my in-laws. I owe 1500 words on one of my blogs by COB tomorrow. Think I'll fire it up and get to work...

You must claim them all to win.

Also all that food without mushrooms sounds amazing, but Jalepenos stuffed with wild boar & cheddar, wrapped in bacon and served with tzatzki sauce sounds like way too much going on and I can't wrap my head around how it would all work. Have you done this one before?
