My Happy Friday

Ahhhhhhhh Chu! It’s that stupid time again and the allergies are KILLING me! Why exactly are people allergic things we can’t avoid? Terrible.  

If you’re worried about the increasing gas prices, check out last Friday’s Dilbert. I think they figured out a solution to our little gas issue. If you have a thing for bubble wrap like my colleague Lisa, this might be for you.  

Friday night Rachel and I picked up my god son Omar from Kya. I just wanted to have him for the weekend, but I was told by a bunch of folks that it was a test run. Well I’ve driven the car and I’m not ready to buy. Rachel did most of the work—waking up in the middle of the night and changing diapers, but it was still too much work for me. Saturday my buddy Adrian came by to challenge me in another of our epic Wii battles. We spent about five hours going back and forth until he left.  

Sunday morning was my baby day. He woke up and so did I. We spent the morning playing and I even let him try on my favorite Yankees hat. Before we took him back to his mother, we went shopping. I got him a bunch of Yankees gear and we picked him up some multilingual toys. After dropping him off, Rachel and I tried out the surround sound system we finally got back from the manufacturer with Cruel Intentions 2—strictly a c list movie, but we liked it.  

Tuesday my boy Bill C. got me a caramel frappacino. Is that how you spell it? That was a good call, Rachel. You have to love this kid. He wore the same football jersey for like four years. I completely understand the kid, but whose parents would let them do that? 

I got to see Jen’s cool ACL scar on Wednesday. That made my day. My new roommate was complaining about going to the gym so I told him about the guy who lost nine pounds playing Wii for 30 minutes a day for six weeks. And guess what? I found eight bucks in my pocket. How great is that? 

I found a cool new job that I was considering applying for. Did you ever want to lie in bed and get paid for it? NASA is conducting a 3-month study and paying $17,000 dollars to people who are willing to spend three months lying in bed.  

We had our first softball game yesterday and we got “owned.” Owned is video game for embarrassed, dominated or killed by the other team. I did make the play of the game with an over-the-shoulder Willie Mays catch. 

So while I rub my eyes until they turn red and watery, feel to shoot me an e-mail and tell me about your week.  

You just killed the work week. 

A special hello to Rosa, the inventor of Happy Friday, Happy Monday (only a few more days until Friday) and oh my god, Happy Thursday (tomorrow is Friday!).
