What's new

Reverse Pet Peeves


No one is sending me big (or little) money offers to buy my 2004 Buick Regal. I'm crushed. ;)
Lol. My first car was a 1977 buick lesabre! I paid 100 bucks for it. And I loved it until I totaled it in a head on crash with a big *** ford truck.
 


I'm not dying as quickly as I had thought, so I might have to buy a different car. The thoughts of a car payment makes me sad. It's been a really long time.
 
Wow nice! I have evidence of my theory that there is only so much fat in the universe and if one person loses any fat, someone else has to find it. So look, I've been taking one for the team!

You're welcome.



Actually that is my renpho for this morning. I am starting a new diet to support my wife, as she is now getting gastric bypass surgery and her diet is drastically changing. I figured if I just did what she does in terms of food, I should lose weight fairly quickly. So this is my "before" shot from my scale.
Update today. From my last check-in above to today, 7 days. Here is the current data. Down 5 pounds. Mostly water I'm sure because I've cut out a ton of sugar. I'll take it.

We haven't had a post here in a while so I will throw one out there.

By Wednesday of this week, I should be a grandpa for the 2nd time! My daughter was due yesterday, and if she hasn't gotten things going by tomorrow, they are going to start her on Tuesday. It is a baby boy! Our first grandkid was a girl, she is 8 now. Excited to add a boy to the mix. My daughter and SIL have been married for close to 6 years now, so it is kind of a miracle baby since they have had fertility issues. Just happened. They are thrilled, and of course scared *****ess, as they should be. We talked last night for an hour, and we told her all of our horror stories about child birth, like our first baby came after nearly 48 hours of labor, when he got lodged kind of in her hip and they had to do an emergency C-section. That was horrible. Mostly for me, she was drugged to the moon. Our last baby was a case of stealth-labor. She was having contractions, but they were very irregular, over a period of maybe 48 hours. Finally she said she was feeling some real pressure in her lower abdomen. We went to the hospital and they got her in a room and checked, and she was already dilated to about a 7. So far enough along that they couldn't do an epidural as it could stall the delivery. So she went from emergency surgery on the first to a mostly natural delivery on the last. All across the board.

Anyway we are really excited. We are coming to Utah on Wednesday after I get off work, and will be there through Sunday when we come back to Cali.

The baby's here! Delivered c-section early this morning. Hospital in Provo. 8 lb 2 oz. He's actually cute! Whereas imo most newborns, even my own, are generally wrinkled ugly little things.
 
I've been meaning to post this one for a while now.

The closest fast food place to my house is a Carl's Jr. It's like 2.5 blocks away. That's not really super important but I felt like mentioning it.

At times when I've been out in the morning and feeling like I need something to eat before 10am I really don't like my options. I'll have the occasional Sausage McMuffin from McDonald's but once every other week is enough to keep me from wanting to go back. Well, Carl's Jr. will make any of their menu items even during breakfast hours. I like their spicy chicken sandwich, have for a long time. This is not a Popeye's type sandwich with breaded chicken breast, it's a processed meat patty that has a basic spicy breading on a bun with mayo and lettuce. It used to be on their dollar menu. Recently the price went up to like $4 for just the sandwich so I was like I guess I'm done with that ****. Anyway, they are running a 2 for $5 deal on the sandwich and so I pulled my favorite move of all time at any fast food place. Well before 10am I order the spicy chicken sandwich, but this time two because of the deal, it's either one for $4 or two for $5, so yeah. As usual they tell me that I need to pull around to the side because they need to cook it as they don't have any ready. THIS IS THE KEY!!! About 3min later they bring out the absolutely most delicious spicy chicken sandwich you could ever ****ing imagine. You absolutely MUST eat it right away. This thing is hot and juicy and 10x better than some rando Carl's Jr. spicy chicken you'd get at 2pm. The patty is steaming hot. It is amazing.

Anyway, that's it. Carl's Jr. spicy chicken sandwich made fresh during their breakfast hours. Doesn't hurt that the lady usually working has like a big crush on me and probably tells the cooks to make it extra good when I come through.
