I'm Not a Crook, I'm Ambitious. There's a Difference...



Isn't the view beautiful? It takes my breath away. Well, it would if I had any breath...

Hey, remember a long time ago, when a relatively uneventful Sunday came and went, without much of anything worth mentioning? I remember it like it was yesterday... yeah, I have a great memory like that... a typical church service in the morning, followed by a nice lunch with family + mom to celebrate the Wee One's 4th birthday. A quick stop at the book store to guide mom to Mistborn book one and The Name of the Wind, so she can have something yummy to read, then home for a bit, updating the website and getting some errands done for Wifey. Then a nice meal at church for the Pastor's Appreciation thingamajobby. Yeah, that was a long time ago. Those were the good old days. But, we were younger then, and so foolish and idealistic, optimistic to the point of pollyannic...

Those days are gone now - gone forever. In their place is the cold, dreary reality of a slightly-chilly Monday morning, heralding a week of back-breaking labor, and wind-breaking torment, like the black clouds of Mordor rolling out from Mount Doom to obscure all traces of hope and light... O for those grand and uneventful days of yore! When life was simple, and the Rocky Road ice cream was abundant, and dental floss actually meant something to people! But when it comes down to it, who's holding the umbrella?

On the plus side, I found this helpful video on getting scratches out of your CDs and DVDs...


Glad I could help. Hey, haven't you heard of the healing power of laughter?

Yes, I found another Star Wars themed wedding cake for y'all, this time of the dead tauntaun from Empire Strikes Back... here's two pics...




The women prefer the traditional monsters. Of course, I have a link to the story, with more pics and a run down on the why of it all, but I thought it was cool enough to mention here... the bride had too much root beer at the reception, hopped into the family Hummer and hit the road...




Let's turn on the juice and see what shakes loose...

This upcoming week is one jammed full of things to do for me. Projects and commitments coming straight out the yin-yang. I shall do my best to get them done, but my personality is such that certain things usually slip through the cracks, without me intending it. If I have commited to do something for you, please remind me. I'm easily distracted...

I'll say! I'm going to start a paper route right now...

That is all...

Actually, that is not all. Here is a weird old picture, for your amusement....



I don't want to eat you. I just get so hungry. I'm just too big. More weird old pics HERE. OK, now THAT is all. Actually, no wait, that is not all...



Twinkie Sushi, with gummi fish, tied together with red licorice rope... Sweetheart, you can't buy the necessities of life with cookies...

There, NOW that is all. At last! My arm is complete again! Until tomorrow, remember, you are a long way from New York, constable.

Hi, David! I love the picture of the cake! Empire Strikes Back is still my favorite Star Wars movie.

By the way, I can't seem to find the personal note you left me.
