Another Friend has caught the Blogging Fever

I was checking my email this afternoon when I got home from work and found out that another old friend of mine has joined the blogging community. Go over and say hi to my friend and tell her Suzanne sent you. I have not seen this friend in years but I do keep in contact with her regularly through email.

Hot Day

Boy is it ever hot here. Today it was 103 actual temperature no lying. We have had hardly any rain this summer. It has been well over a month. Anytime it has rained it has been very short lived or just missed us by a few towns or cities. Hopefully we will get some this week. I know I have not posted much lately, but things have been kind of crazy for the past month or so with work. I am hoping that will slow down soon.

We have seen a few good movies this summer also. We do not normally pay to see movies in the theatres but we recently saw Batman Begins and War of the Worlds. I liked both of them. Art was not too impressed with War of the Worlds. Next up is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Charlie and the Chocolate factory the original with Gene Wilder is one of my favorite childhood movies. I am looking forward to seeing the remake.

Happy Birthday Old Man

Well Tuesday is Art's birthday. Go over to his blog and wish him a happy 35th birthday. While you are over there leave him a comment and tell him he needs to blog. I know I am posting this a few days early, but I may not get around to doing it tomorrow night before he goes to work. Now that his birthday is upon us mine is not far behind. In a way I am looking forward to it but everytime I think about it it makes me feel old.

You Know You're Addicted to Caffiene When

You Know You're Addicted to Caffeine When...

You haven't slept since the Clinton Administration. Your next-door neighbors often call to complain about the sound of your chattering teeth. Instead of Tic Tacs, you suck on Vivarin. You plan to name your twins "Cappuccino" and "Espresso." On the way to work you get pulled over for speeding and you don't even have your car. You kill a guy for trying to switch your regular coffee to decaffeinated Folgers. You wake up in the middle of the night screaming "Pepsi! For the love of God, I need Pepsi!" When a Maxwell House commercial comes on, you actually lick the TV screen. You drink so much coffee it starts shooting out your ears. You're shaking like Michael Jackson on his wedding night. You think sleep is for the weak. You've just had your 20th cup of coffee within 20 minutes on a Friday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, just so "the milk doesn't go bad over the weekend" You believe that the coffee bean is a vegetable. You know from experience caffeine tablets don't dissolve in cola. You wake up to Mountain Dew, before switching to JOLT. You can name five flavors of JOLT. You have a mini-fridge under your desk... and a catheter. You drink decaf by accident and slip into a coma. Mountain Dew is the stuff great decisions are made of. You regard the fact that your hands are shaking as a good sign. You have tattooed across the knuckles of your hands "JOLT" and "COLA" Your birthday is a national holiday in Colombia. You go to sleep just to wake up and smell the coffee. Your coffee pot is next to your bed and your alarm clock is in the kitchen. You've ever an airplane's call button just to get a coffee refill. You've knelt and prayed before a Starbuck's logo. Your web page has the Mountain Dew color scheme. You have distilled Jolt Cola to make it more potent. The dishes in your house are all coffee cups. You see nothing wrong with using water joe (caffeinated water) to make the coffee you use to take your no-doze. You believe that sleep is simply a poor substitute for sleep It's 6:09 AM and you're on your 2nd 20oz. cup of coffee. You have to drink some form of caffeinated beverage just to sleep. You'd rather be beaten over the head with a sledgehammer than give up that first cup of coffee in the morning. You've given up sex, TV, or all forms of meat for Lent before, but can't make it 40 days without caffeine. You suck on a used coffee filter (full of coffee grounds) whenever the can runs out of coffee. You dip espresso beans. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends who are addicted to caffeine.

Not Much Going on Here

Boy am I glad that today is Friday and I have a long weekend. Ever since we got home from our Trip 3 weeks ago things have been very busy at work. It has also been hot and humid with no rain here as well. We did eventually get some the other day, but it was not nearly enough. The other night Art and I went to dinner at Granite City Food and Brewery afterwards we stopped at a new ice cream place called Maggie Moos. They have pretty good ice cream. I had cake batter ice cream and it is made with vanilla cake batter. It was very yummy. Anyway, just thought that I would post something to let everyone know I am still here. Just worn out from being so busy at work.
