Lazy Sunday

Since the tagline says ramblings from, allow me to ramble some…

As Becky and I were pondering our existence at McDonald’s, not our Earthly existence mind you, just how we ever got ourselves stuck actually having to eat at McDonald’s while our kids were having fun playing (can we say playland, which is the most evil invention ever and how do kids ever find out about playlands in the first place?). Now, on to the story, Becky was reminding me that Ashlee’s initials are A.R.F. Which, if pronounced altogether, sounds similar to a dog’s bark. Which is kind of ironic since her favorite activity to “untrain” Frankie is to run around on all fours barking like a dog so as to get Frankie to run after her barking annoyingly. Obviously, those staples in her head from last winter weren’t too much of a deterrent since that’s how she got hurt doing the very same thing with Stella.

Oh, and one last note about McDonald’s, it’s Pirates of the Caribbean month and we came home (eventually) with a couple of Pirates. AAARRRGGGHHH!

Ramble number two. Even though the actual NBA is becoming a little dry and bland (and that’s coming from a basketball/NBA fan), NBA Jam T.E. is still as fun as I remember it. Nick and I have picked up playing each other in some “friendly” competitions the past few days. Now I need a little help. See, I can block the occasional shot on those rare occasions when my defender is in the right place at the right time. But I can definitely admit that it’s mostly luck. However, everyone’s favorite little video-gamer has apparently found out the secret to blocking shots because he blocks mine EVERY SINGLE TIME I TRY TO DUNK ON HIM! Then he just laughs at me as he dribbles the ball to the upper corner and calmly sinks a three on me. Looks like I’ll have to resort to the Hack-a-Shaq technique to be able to hang unless one of you knows the “secret” to blocking shots. Oh, Chris, you should get this game for your Super NES. Just make sure it’s the Tournament Edition (hence the T.E.).

Well, I’ve done enough procrastinating of homework for one night. I can’t wait for the day I have no assignments or projects due or tests or quizzes coming up. Hey, wait a minute, didn’t I already reach that point once? Go figure. Anyways, I have plenty more posts with pictures and such coming up so visit often.
