The Anvil Tree

Hey, emo kid with badly dyed hair: if you insist on stopping in the MIDDLE OF THE FREAKIN CROSSWALK to check your text message, I reserve all rights to run your scrawny ass over.  Also: women’s skinny jeans look retarded on men.  Get a clue.

Showered, blow dried, and coiffed my hair this morning.  Only to realize, once I got to work, that my umbrella has been lodged into the rails of my car seat.  1/2 mile walk in the rain into work: FAIL on the hairdo.

The Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate I raved about a day or two ago?  Is not as good in a venti size.  You lose the saltedness.  Keep it in a grande or tall size for maximum kick-ass flavor.

I hateHATEhate football tournament season.  We had umpteen million fun things to do this weekend, but all of them have been cancelled due to practices/games/banquets/etc.  Well, Binja and I will still be doing all of the fun things, but I was SO looking forward to getting pictures at the pumpkin patch with BOTH boys, you know?

I lit the fireplace by myself last night.  This was a giant occasion because I hate all things fire. (Well, I take that back; I LOVE fireplaces. Just not lighting them. Especially gas logs. Could go boom. Big bada boom.) But it was so nice and cozy and I braved death to get there.  I am so bad ass.

Everyone’s been asking and I’ve sucked for not addressing it: Yes, Binja got his orthotic/brace a few weeks back.  At first, he completely ignored that leg while it was on (it essentially became a “dead leg” while he was wearing it), but since he’s gotten more accustomed to it. 

 Since he got the brace, he’s been cruising all over the place.  I suppose that’s what it’s called, anyway.. walking while holding on to furniture?  He’s all over the house now, and I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before he takes the car keys from us and heads to Mexico while chugging the Boone’s Farm.

It’s been one of those weeks where Bryan and I have not seen eachother since last Sunday.  And the weekend is shaping up to where we will be ships passing in the night as well.  I think we should make a date night plan for next week so we can, you know, see eachother again.  Are there any movies out that we should see?
