KATE

You must do some work today....don't just sit and read my blog. :) Hahaha. (although I did post twice)
Great chat we had the other day.
You are a good friend!!

Oh HAPPY day

I have had the most wonderful day.
I got to go shopping ALONE at Target.
I got new Jammies because the Crying Jew and I are going to the Great Wolf Lodge with the kids tomorrow.
She doesn't want to leave until 11 so I can get my morning stuff done and not rush.
24 started tonight. DID YOU HEAR ME????? 24 IS BACK!!!!
FREEKIN FINALLY!!

This season, instead of my quick 5 minute drive to Traci's house, she moved to Oregon City near our first house, so made the trek out there tonight to watch the season premier.
They did not disappoint! This was by far the BEST start to 24 EVER. (I know I sound like a 13 yr old girl) But OMG Becky it blew me out of my shoes!
The little void in my heart has been filled back up with Jack Bauer.
I wish I could say that there were just a few moments in the show that were my favorite, but I can't. The entire show was exactly what I wanted. (except for the fate of Robert Carlyle.)
I got off the couch and did the happy dance when I saw that "Hamish" was on my 24!
I now can't wait for January 11 and 12th!! We have to wait that long, but we get 4 hours over 2 days.....and oh did we get some OMG moments at the end when the handed out a few little tidbits. I love it that they are bringing someone back, but could this person really be bad or could this person be acting like Jack was when he went deep cover with the Salazar (???Maybe wrong name) brothers in like season 4?? Something to think about and search for spoilers on.
Well, I am off to bed to have my seasonal Jack Bauer dream.....

Back by popular demand

Ok,
I must think of a scathingly brilliant first post for my "new" blog.
But, I think I will post this and be fine until my next outburst of hilarity.

The beloved X-box has returned. The red ring of death is NO more! Yeah woo hoo. Whatever.

So, all week I had been getting up-dates from KC on delivery status. I'd already been put on notice that a signature was required for delivery, and that SOMEONE would have to be home to receive it. It was due to arrive on a Monday, and as that is my "clean the house day" (but really I drink coffee in the AM while I am watching my DVR of Dexter, and maybe start cleaning about 10 ish. very loose ish.) I told him yes I will be here and would be happy to sign for his X-box.
Somehow, UPS was on the ball, and low and behold on Friday morning, I get a call from KC saying......"my x-box is on the truck out for delivery!!!!"
Yeah, I'm so happy for you when said with a moderate amount of sarcasm, isn't met well when the listener is your husband.
So he comes home from work, and instead of saying hello Eileen, how was your day and hi kids how was school, I get this:
KC "is it here yet? where did you put it? how long till dinner, I want to set it up.
Me, "nope not here yet, but Ups usually doesn't show up until about 6 so you have to wait."
KC "seriously, where did you put it? I'll just set it up and come right back in."
Me "IT'S NOT HERE"
KC "you didn't give it to Kevin did you just to mess with me"
Me "funny but NO, I did not give it to Kevin"
KC "I know its here just tell me where it is."
Me, "its on the truck out for delivery. If you don't believe me, go check the Internet."
KC "ok I will...then you will have to tell me where you put it."
goes and checks Internet......."fuck"
Me "Told you so."
now is where I start messing with him
Me "kc, i see headlights....oops sorry they kept going." (laughing to my self knowing that I am building up to something really good.)
Me "KC, more headlights....OOOOOh KC they stopped and i can hear something sounding like a diesel engine out front.....KC, THE UPS MAN IS HERE GO TO THE FRONT DOOR.....HE'S HERE HE'S HERE" (by now the kids have caught on as they are in the front room looking out the window, and are chanting, "hes here dad hes here come look"

**Kc is now running from Family room to Front window.....looking like a kid at Christmas.*****His head when he reaches the window drops in defeat, shoulders slump and he manages to say......

KC "screw you just screw screw you"
I myself am now on the floor of the kitchen laughing so hard that I have to mentally tell myself that i will NOT pee in my pants. I was in tears by the time I could manage to stand up again.
It did finally show up.....he managed to do a head count in the house before going to the door. Eileen, Ben, Sarah, Ok there is no one outside tricking me....
He has been in the garage ever since.
