Sadly Enough

Even though I am sure I have long lost my readership, I have decided to finally start blogging again. It used to be something that I did at break time at work, but since I don't get breaks at work right now, it makes it hard. And typing on this keyboard at home sucks.

I have become more and more like my father in not some much the good ways. I found grey hairs in my beard and I have lost all patience for poor manners at the dinner table. For those you dined at our table when my sister and I were growing up, please forgive the painful flashbacks I just induced.

I have however reached the 26 pound mark in my weight loss journey. Long after Dad reached his 30, but I'll take it. 30 more to go... what a fat ass.

My debit/credit card went tits up. It gave years of heavy service and just couldn't make it to it's expiration date later this summer, so I called and requested a new one. While I was on the phone with the bank I read the back of the card and saw this; "If this card is lost or stolen after regular bank hours, call 1-800-XXX-XXXX." Exactly how in the hell am I going to do that? If the card is gone, so is the number.

Put the garden in last weekend. Well, most of it. I have to work up more ground for the okra, carrots and sunflower seeds. So far we have tomatoes, squash, zuccini, cucumber, cantalope, watermelon, green onion, purple onion, strawberries, brocolli, cabbage, and egg plant. I actually ate a hand full of ripe strawberries out of the garden this afternoon.

With gas prices doing what they are doing, it may get back to the point where produce will be something you have to grow yourself if you want to eat any of it. While I expect a better yeild than last year, I am still no master gardener. I am still young yet, lots of springs to practice.

Some info for Kel, if she still reads. (According to the National Weahter Service)

Yes, I was dismayed to see that you have become a food Nazi like your father. Why you and your sisters didn't have ulcers is beyond me. I cherish Kel's torturing him with flaky bisquits, peeling off and playing with layer after layer... and, since she's an adult now, he can't do anything about it - priceless!
As for the grey... you were doomed from both sides. And as for your being a fat ass... NOT!
