How many times are they gonna remake Godzilla? Answer - too many! EVERY ONE of them has sucked!Albert Pujols hit home runs #499 and 500 the other night. His wife was mad at him because he was supposed to call her when he hit #499 so she could meet him on the road to be there when he became only the 26th MLB player to reach that feat. Just so happens that he decided to hit two (#499 & #500) in Washington on the same night.
I wrote those two things here yesterday so I would remember to blog about them. Sometimes I do that - use the blog as a notebook until I get back to finish my thoughts. Some weird things happened throughout the night that are gonna take precedence for the moment. I was really tired so I went to bed not long after we recorded the new load of Dirty Laundry Podcast. I will probably start editing the show later today and have it up on Monday but, I digress. Anyway I was in bed about 2300 and at about 0100 Fabio woke me up and said he heard a gunshot and pointed out the window toward the Southwest. He said he "knew" that is was a gunshot. At work I have heard quite a few gunshots and a lot of fireworks and there are distinguished differences so I know what he means. I waited for awhile and there was nothing more so I went back to bed. It has not been unusual to hear gunshots off in the distance. We live near many farms and I know that farmers shoot animals for many reasons from time-to-time. 1:00 AM is unusual however. Two hours later at a little after 0300 the dog was barking downstairs so I came down. He acted like he had to go outside and I came down and took him out. He did both of his businesses so I am glad that I listened. Then, at 0500 he started barking again and down I came again and took him out and he peed. He also chases a rabbit out of the yard - wascal wabbit. He would have caught the rabbit, as he has proven before that he can, but I had him on the line. While I was out a large bright red Cardinal was directly above me (about 30 feet or so) on the highest point of our tallest tree screaming and screaming. I always wondered which birds were making those really loud yelps and now I know. All of this together means something. It may mean that I watch too many movies and read too many weird things but I will discover a way to make this make sense. Maybe it was just me being really tired. Maybe the fact that I have been fighting a cold for the last three weeks (I am still winning but I don't think the cold has given up just yet). Maybe it was the margarita served in a fish bowl that I had at dinner last night. No MATTer what the reason - it was an eventful night.
Just now I dug another tick out of Jeff's neck. He will probably write about it on his Facebook page (Jeff Helser). This one was dug in pretty good. I saw on Facebook last night that Cha Cha's cousin Julie got a tick while jogging. Maybe these ticks are in our yard and Jeff didn't get them down south like earlier suspected. I think I am going to get something and spray the yard later today. I heard a commercial on the radio about a tick spray for yards. They probably always play that commercial but we never really listen to things unless they directly impact us at that moment do we? Probably why they re-run the same ads over and over and over...
It is also interesting that I itch all the time now that there have been ticks around the house. I have found nothing but my mind wants me to keep checking anyway I guess.
We are meeting my parents for lunch today. I am going to try to sleep a bit more before we go because of my busy night not sleeping and having to work tonight (my Monday morning). I am considering calling-off sick since I am sick and tired. Knowing me I will go to work even though I have about 24 sick days built-up and I have been slightly sick for about a week and now it is worse. I am not very bright.
I am going to go lie down and hope Jeff will not start yapping again. Have a great day and conclusion of your weekend. Thank you for stopping by so my neurosis could make you feel better about yourself. I am happy to help. I am starting to feel a bit like Felix Unger lately. I will probably not blog tomorrow because of sleep and, hopefully, getting some podcast editing done. TTTYM (your Monday) probably...MITM (out or am I?) TA
