I must be slipping in my old age

Last night Jessica and I went out with Brooke, Derek Liz and Nathan for Derek’s Birthday. We went to BJ’s (get your mind out of the gutter) for dinner. Really nice place, good food, fun atmosphere and the BEST home brewed Root Beer around. And believe me, I am a Root Beer Connoisseur. They also have very tasty home brewed beers.
After dinner, we all made our way over to the bowling lanes to get our bowl on! Nathan is a great bowler. He is in a few bowling leagues and boy did it show last night. I don’t know if you know me well enough, but I a bit of a “talker”. I rarely back down from a challenge, so I felt compelled to step up to the plate and take on Nathan in a friendly wager. Right before we began, Derek came up to me and asked if we wanted to go head-to-head, and of course (not backing down from the challenge) I accepted. Needless to say I owe Nathan 8 frosty beverages the next time we play golf and I owe Derek 2 frosty beverages. The reason Nathan gets 6 additional drinks is because during the second game, Nathan has to pick up a 6-7-10 split. STUPID me opens up my mouth and say’s “you pick that up, I’ll buy you a six pack”. What happens, HE GETS IT!!! That was it, I had been humbled. I look at it this way, I will get him all 8 drinks next time we golf, and see how he does then!

Happy Birthday Derek, We had a great time last night!

Ultimate Vacation

Survey…
What would you do with a million dollars and 2 months off work?
Don’t respond with the usual pay off bills, get out of debt and quit your job.

Here’s what I would do…
First off, 1 cell phone would be taken, but turned on only to be used for an emergency. I would take Jessica to Europe for the first 3 weeks. First class all the way. We would go to Paris, Rome, Stonehenge, Greece and Amsterdam!!!!! When we got back, I would then take her on a cruise to Alaska or another Disney Cruise.
For the next 30 days, it would be a mission. I doubt Jessica would want to come along for this mission, but she would be more then welcome. Remember, after the first trip, I would estimate I would have about $400,000-$500,000 left over. I would buy the fastest sports car that was street legal; and I would try to catch a baseball game in at least 24 ballparks in the U.S. Catch a game, get in the car and start driving to the next. If I was to get pulled over for speeding, I would have some cash to pay the fine and keep going! I would love to do it with football games, but I would only be able to catch them on weekend games. That would be my ultimate vacation trip.

If you have a few minutes, let me know your ultimate vacation. Remember the limits, 1 million dollars and 2 months off work.
Lets throw in one more kink, you have a free babysitter for those 2 months off.

ARE YOU FRICKIN SERIOUS?

OK, so my sister calls me last night and say's "turn on NBC and watch this". So I turn it on and there is a new show called “The singing bee”. I turned it on just as the final round is coming on and watched this guy win 50K just for knowing the words to I wanna rock and roll all night. Seriously? I would school people on this game show.

Prior to this, I was watching The world series of pop culture and holy crap; there was a girl on the show that I wanted to literally kick in the head through my TV. She did not get one answer correct on the 80’s pop hits category. Her only response was that she was only 2 when that song came out and did not have a clue to the answer. Her husband was a team member and you could see him with his face in his hands shaking his head.

I’m thinking of starting a Wii tournament sometime. Let me know if anyone would be interested.

This just in…Farmers Insurance, Inc. Just beat out Chesapeake Energy for the Best employer in Oklahoma (over 500 employees). Woo-hoo!

That’s it for now.

Live it, Breathe it, Eat it!
