Some sleep for the weary

Finally, finally, slept last night. This might sound like nothing to some people, but for me, this is an achievement. Before that I hadn't really slept hard for weeks. I've always been like this, not sleeping soundly for extended periods of time, and then having a body shut down for a long sleep. Haven't had one of this in a while, but if I hadn't finally slept last night I could feel one coming on. After my conference next week, I'm guessing that I'll need a nice 12 hour sleep to feel like a human being again.

So what's the topic for today? So far, Goody's talked about his lack of a golf game (Too bad diaper changing's not a sport, huh Goods?) and John has... No John yet today. Personally, on Monday's I'm not really ready to tackle anything too grueling, so I was thinking, ahh, nope I wasn't thinking at all, I was staring out the window.

Watched some football this weekend, from the games I saw it looks like the Jets are going to be pretty piss poor and the Giants are going to be alright. Yes, Eli threw two interceptions, but he looked a lot better than he did last year. At least he didn't look like he was going to cry the whole time, which is an improvement.

I'd like to write about my fantasy football team, but I think I might even put myself to sleep (hmmm might have to try that next insomnia spell....) Suffice to say that I lost this week in one league and won in another.

I'm told that as I own a house and a cock that I need to have projects and lists for them. Well, I am less ambitious than Goody, and have already built a flagstone patio this year. (Ingredients: 1/2 ton 3/4 inch gravel, 2 tons stone dust, 1 pallet ME black slate flagstones, 1 shovel, 1 loam rake, 1 push broom, one hose, rinse and repeat.) So my projects for this winter are going to consist of not outspending myself so I can afford to heat the house. I'll mix in small projects like building some bookshelves and the current project, building a closet for myself. Somehow I've found myself w/o a closet since the gf moved in, strange that.

Ingredients for Closet/Shelving unit;

2 4x8 sheets of 3/4 inch birch plywood (Why birch? Why not?)
1 porter cable router, borrowed
1 bostich finsh nailer, plus compressor (Just kidding)
1 hammer
47 nails
1 trim saw, cordless
1 packet of presson laminate to make the ply look smoov like me

3 Things I'm thinking today:

1. Johnny Damon is a caveman
2. Randy Johnson may be the ugliest human being ever.
3. The. Ugliest. Human. Being. Ever.

you are missing one important step in constucting a patio... slave labor... just so a girl can park in the drive way.... slave labor

anonymous, we all know who you are by now. you might as well stop trying to hide.

besides, if you'd rather park in the street i'm sure that would be fine w/ the head of the household. clementine.

Are you implying that the dogface makes all the decisions in my house?

Well...

It sure as hell isn't me.

i am indeed insinuating that the clem dog rules on high in the broadway section of orono.

the hierarchy is as follows:

1) Clem
2) the gf
3) you

Jeff, your statements (see hierarchy of household decisions) are so true they were quite funny! I awoke at 430 to insane snoring. I questioned sv snore? To this volume? Nope it was the fur ball practically sleeping on top of me. (TMI?)

I hide to annoy you. I didn't think I pulled the wool over anyone's eyes.

Well... No it's true, I don't make too many decisions at all. It is also true that I can stay up drinking later than either of the others.

This has to be worth something???

well sv, at least you still have that!

Anonymous said...

definitely worth something. you have more pride than the others.

Anonymous said...

That's right, dammit.

It's pride that makes me stay out too late.
