Happy everything!

Tonight I spent my Valentine's night with three sweethearts: Brady, Avery, and Peyton. We went to eat dinner at Mi Burrito, and the waitress gave Jen and me and rose when we left, the only V-Day flowers I've been given in about a decade. I stopped at Wal-Mart in Russellville after visiting Alisa at ATU this afternoon to buy V-Day trinkets for Huey, Dewie and Louie. The store was packed with men, all trying to figure out what to get their wives/girlfriends/significant others at the last minute. So I ventured to the candy aisle and got some pop rocks and M&Ms. I realized, after I gave them to the boys, that although I was on the holiday aisle when I bought the stuff, it was actually Easter candy instead of V-Day candy. My first clue? The pop rocks were in eggs.

But it wasn't just me. Joe sent Estella and me e-mails today telling us "happy birthday." Yeah, mine's in June and Estella's is in December.

So happy everything!

Right now I'm chillin' in my hotel room in NLR. It's pretty sweet with a flat-screen TV and a big bed, but every tub after my new one is a disappointment.

Oh, and to update you on the job... I made it 13 days before the first person quit. And he quit to go to Iraq to diffuse bombs (I kid you not!). When someone chooses diffusing bombs over working for you, should that make you feel bad about yourself?

no, Michelle...I mean, Lori...don't feel bad. Ok, seriously..in this case, it isn't you.

Who's Michelle? And Lori, I'm not so sure. Maybe it WAS you. I mean, Avery's still pretty scarred over that night you got on to him!

Hehehe. Only kidding. Anyone who wants to volunteer to detonate bombs may have something a wee bit off in their upstairs ticker.

I had fun last night. We need to come wreck your house, I mean visit, sometime soon.

First of all, Jen, I believe I was defending YOUR honor when I got on to Avery so strongly. That kid is truly stubborn. Hmmm... wonder where he gets that?

Come wreck and/or visit anytime! There are locks on the bedrooms where we can lock up the boys and Lonnie.
