This One Was A Two Parter...

Back in action.

Sunday night we watched our Netflix movie. It was called "Mirrors" with Keifer Sutherland... We were sadly disappointed in the movie. We had expected it to be halfway freakish or something... It ended up being rather predictable but (and maybe this is because we watched the directors cut) with one of those "M Night Shimalyan" (forgive the spelling) -esque twists at the end. Yea, lame.

So to help us forget the fact we just wasted almost two hours of our lives on this movie, we started to joke that it was the origin story for Jack Bauer. And as he exited the smoldering pile of rubble (***please note this next part is totally fictitious and a product of our demented minds***) he stretched and said, "I am no longer known as Ben; I am now Jack Bauer and I have twenty four hours to save the world!"

To us this was hilarity incarnate. Then, as we were in the kitchen getting our evening/desert coffee, Spaz happened to stretch and in my peripheral vision she reminded me of a lemur... I then said, "My name is Jack Bauer and I HAVE a lemur." We both broke into hysterical laughter. What made it even better (this next part is so awesome it still makes me have to hold back insane giggles... even three days after the fact) was when Collin repeated what I had said, or at least what he thought I said, "I am Jack Bauer and I AM a lemur." Crap, it still makes me giggle... Crazy, right?

It was one of those epic moments of hilariousness we both about died laughing. I had just peed moments before and I had to go again or I was going to pee the couch... Plus, we just couldn't stop laughing so we figured we needed to be in separate areas while we calmed down... I barely made it up the stares amidst the fits of laughter and insane giggling. That would have been great... Pee my pants and fall down the stairs while laughing like a crazy person...


Today the weather has been gorgeous. Naturally it's like this in the middle of the work week but oh well. The IT guy here came walking into the office (his office is in another building in the complex) and tells us we should really have the door open.

The following is a testament to how far I have come at being able to control my word vomit: The first thing that came to my mind for a response to his observation was, "You should really shut your mouth." The second response that came to my head was, "Yea, but having it closed barely keeps the riff raff out as it is. (implying him being riff raff)"

This is what I actually said in response: "Hmm, maybe." And continued on with my work.

Go me for not randomly insulting people as a knee jerk reaction... I now save this behavior for my husband or when I am driving or when I am watching hockey.

Speaking of hockey my boys, the RedWings, are playing tonight... They need to get their heads in this series. They are down 2-0... I really do have my heart set on seeing the Western Conference Finals coming down to the Vancouver Canucks and the Detroit RedWings. I heart both teams dearly and would be happy to see either one win the Stanley Cup (but with preference to the RedWings). But my boys need to get it together and put San Jose in their place. I am starting to think the nice "break" they had between the quarters and the semis didn't help them as much as I had hoped... Fingers crossed for tonight.

Tonight we are also going grocery shopping for the month (other than fresh produce of course!). It's so nice having the time to do these kind of activities DURING the work week. It makes the weekend that much more enjoyable, AND there are less people at the stores on Wednesday evenings.

Yea, about that TPS report... Did you get the memo about putting the cover on the TPS reports? I can get you another copy of that...

More and more I realize there is but a handful of truly mindful and intelligent people on this planet...

Can't touch this.
