I’ve really got to stop these month + updates

   Posted by: MDeputy    in Uncategorized

O.K., I need you help.  You’ve go my e-mail.  I’m available on twitter.  Bug me, harass me, whatever.  Since Jenny has been sucked into Facebook, the website has been relegated to me, and I am not doing a very good job at keeping it updated.  So if you could give me some gentle (or not so gentle) reminders to get my lazy butt in gear and let you know what is going on, I’d appreciate it.

Anyway, here it goes.  We have been pretty boring around here.  The Dance Marathon circuit has wound down.  The spring semester of Karate is coming to a close with awards this Thursday and tournament on Saturday.  The kids have been practicing a little so hopefully they will do well.  School is cruising along well.  Mickey received her results for the iStar test (Similar to the istep test but for Special Ed students)  She passed all three parts and scored pass+ for the reading/language  arts portion.  She was very excited, and so we her teachers and family.  Both Brad and Mickey scored high honor roll for the past 9 weeks, which puts Brad on the honor roll at the GT school at 3 for 3 this year.  That is quite an accomplishment.

I don’t know if I mentioned it here or not, but we have begun to sponsor a child form Nicaragua as a result of Jenny’s trip there.  His name is Raul and he has the same birthday as Jenny, well everything except the year of course.  He is soooooo much younger.  (Yes Jenny, that was to get a chuckle from you)

Raul at School

That is for now.  Now don’t let me go too long without an update.

Fun Stuff for today

   Posted by: MDeputy    in Uncategorized

Today I was performing an upgrade around noon today and I started to get hungry, and a case of minimal concentration attacked me.  I think it was watching very slow moving progress bars.  But anyway, Lory who was doing her part of the upgrade was waiting for me to watch slow moving progress bars crawl across the screen had IM up so we could communicate during the upgrade.  On my second monitor I opened a browser and Googled: “Weird things on Amazon.”

Oh my, they really do sell everything form A to Z including the following:

Fresh Whole Rabbit

The Original Roadkill Cookbook

Uranium – Yes Seriously

Gallon of Milk

Chicken poop lip balm – Seriously NOT on my wish list.

But if you are looking to buy me something I would not be insulted if you bought me this:  CLICK HERE (Since they are sold out, the price isn’t there any more, but I saw a blog post saying it cost $500.000.00) although I may sell it if you get it for me.

There is also some stuff for the guys.  Click here to see this.

I almost forgot this one for the literature lovers

 

So if you are bored sometime.  Go ahead and find some weird things on Amazon.
