Food, Decorations, and "I remember being in middle school, too"

The week wrapped up okay...Thursday evening we went to eat with Johnny Bubonic (LOL) at Red Lobster. Since the food I really like there has a tendency to be a little expensive, I downgraded from crab legs and lobster tails to a shrimp sampler feast. MMMM....shrimp kabobs. Stacey had crab alfredo (an inexpensive way to get crab), and Kailyn chowed down on some popcorn shrimp.

J-mo seemed to be doing MUCH better...color had returned to his face and nothing was oozing out of any orafices.

Spent most of Friday working around the house (I'm always working around the house, it seems like). Started getting Christmas decorations up. But it seems the more I work, the bigger the mess gets. -sigh-

Volleyball was fun, but we sucked. We got better in the second game, but still lost. Oh, well...I guess we don't play to win, but it's more fun when you do win (and not because the other team forfeited). Funny...we have 2 girls on the team (Eli and Wendy), and BOTH of them spent a lot of time diving (or falling) on the floor going after the ball. The guys? No floor-induced injuries for us, thank you very much. Wimps, you say? Nah...we're probably just a bunch of half-committed jock wannabes who don't know the meaning of the phrase "sacrifice your body for the team." Or, we're just really out of shape. Or... Okay, excuses, excuses... Really, I think we all played well...this was just an observation. :-)

After reading the Root's blog, I had a flashback this morning of the days when me and my friends used to "oogle" over all the girls...remembering the days when I was probably 98% driven by hormones. Oogling over short skirts, long legs...trying to get a "peek" at unmentionable areas...daring each other to go meet girls...getting so nervous that you couldn't even talk to a pretty girl without saying something stupid...that is, if you actually could talk. Of course, those days were about 17 years ago...when I was 14!!!!!!!! Fortunately, the Root is proving that such behavior is STILL be cool when you're 28.

KEY PHRASES: "Smoking or non-smoking?" "Neither...we'd like to be in the 'quarantine' section...and could you bring us lots of those little wet-naps?"

"Look, that girl's wearing a thong!" I dare you to go talk to her." "Um...I can't do that..." "Wimp!" "Well, maybe you could you go ask her for me if she'd like to go out with me. Tell her I own my own business."

DISCLAIMER: This is only humor...so laugh!
