“Nature’s bounty gives me gas.”

– Mandark, from Dexter’s Lab

Real life quote of the night:

“Remember tomorrow when we’re cranky that it’s because we haven’t gone to bed yet.”

– Junior, from my house

Man, I keep seeing the commercial for “Worship Together” – the best of modern Christian music. I know what you’re thinking, but hey, remember, I’m a big Michael W. Smith fan. And there are always my Veggie Tales CDs. Anyway, I don’t want to get locked into a music club, especially not a Contemporary Christian one, but I really want those two CDs for $10. Every song snippet in the commercial has grown on me. Amazing stuff.

Anyway, I’m going to try to avoid going to timelife.com until this urge passes.

Okay, I just have to cut down on the caffeine, kids. Today’s tally:

Mowing the lawn (front and back)

Washing the wood floor in the living room

2 loads of laundry

What the hell is my problem? Can’t I just goof off or something? What kind of example am I setting for the boy?

I was feeling pouty today so I treated Junior to a copy of Stitch, the Movie to cheer us up. I went into this expecting the worst, and it’s not the worst so I’m actually happy. Man, I love that Lilo character. She’s my favorite Disney female after Mulan. Maybe tied with Dori from Finding Nemo. Oh Oh Oh, and Boo from Monster’s Inc. Okay, those are the top ones though.

If this all works out, maybe I can convince Junior that for our next vacation we should go to Hawaii instead of Florida/WDW.

Well, wasn’t I productive today? We got up, headed to the post office, then the grocery store. Then I washed all the floors, read some of my mail, then decided if I cleaned out the spare bedroom, I could move some of the toys up there. I’d rather them be upstairs than in the basement right now (I’m already heating the upstairs – last year I think my increased heating costs were related to junior playing with his computer down there).

So now I’m wiped, and I’m STILL waiting for people to call me back. I’m assuming that I’m not going to be doing any visiting with my family today, given that they’ve all disappeared off the face of the earth. Sheesh, you’d think they had their own lives or something.

p.s. The lawn in the back yard is mocking me. I won’t give in and mow it. I won’t.
