A list of 10... or so

Time for a light hearted prose...  or 10 things that I think of.

1.  The kids started calling themselves names.  I was just informed that Olivia's offensive name of choice for her brother is "Dude-head."  I guess the inflection is worse than the actual words.  Amy is working on the not calling each other names, and I'm trying to decide if I should teach Olivia how to name call to where its worth if it you are going to get in trouble.

2.  I need to write my ideas down when I have them.  I'm stuck at 2 and know I had more things to put down besides this.

Pause: Since "The Bachelor" was on to 11pm last night, I was blessed to watch an hour of it in bed (I usually crash about 10pm) as Amy the new bachelorholic was finishing the episode.  Here's what I took away from it:

3. I'm never letting my daughter watch the show... and God save us if it is still on when she is old enough to watch it.  Not the way to find a man... eh I mean, not the way I want my daughter to find a man.  (awkward wording there, I have no experience in how to find a man).

4.  The dude must have to go to a tongue trainer for three months prior to taping the show.  He was sucking face with darn near everyone there...  I mean come on, the tongue is a muscle and the jaw is full of them, by the end of the show he's got to have a jaw bigger than Leno's and a tongue that would make a cow jealous.

4a.  It would suck if somebody got really sick.  It'd wipe out the whole production.  Hmmm there's a thought.

4b.  There are some great opportunities for product placement in that.  If I were a Hoover or Shop-Vac marketing consultant and I got a call from "The Bachelor" I'd be salivating.  Think about it trademark stickers on their cheeks.  "This suck face moment brought to you by Dyson"  60 minutes of marketing in a 2 hour show.  Killer!
Product placement Fail

5.  I'd love to see the after show (if they have one), when they realize that if they get married, have kids, buy a house that the weekly getaways any where in the world do not exist and they have to discuss budgets, who gets the diaper and so on.    Hmm maybe why the success rate of the couples is so low.  Holy crap real life just snuck up and delivered a haymaker!  (haymaker = big punch, to you ladies).

6.  Apparently one of the ladies is a real peice of work and he keeps picking her to stay on the show and there is a real "connection".  I'm taking bets on if the producers are whispering in his ear.

6a.  Wouldn't you think that the other girls would realize that if he likes her enough to keep her on the show... he might be a real peice of work and its time to bail?  I'm sure there is more than one way to not get a rose.  Easiest is blindside him with a kick in the nuts.  That'll get you voted out of anything.

Unpause:

7.  I have new garage lights and they are awesome!!!!  I just finished cleaning the garage and there is nothing like a clean well lit, garage, except a clean, well lit garage with room.  Now I just need a shed to put half the stuff in.  I'll have to get a good picture of them and put it up... simple to make and install.  I'm thinking of putting them in the house... but they look like garage/shop lights... not house lights (Big VETO from Amy).

8.  Its cool working on projects with Dad (see number 7).

9.  Connor beats Amy 9 times out of 10 at racing on the Cars 2 game.

10.  Yeah babe, I just wrote #9 all 1 or 3 people that read this blog will see it.

Enjoy your day!
