We all know the downsides to unemployment, so I'll talk about the good.
No longer being stuck to the usual monotonous routine day in and day out, I was able to stop for a moment and enjoy life. Ahhhh...All the time in the world with none of the $$$ to go with it. If you're crafty though, you'll notice that the Bay Area has a ton of free things going on to occupy your time.
......can be a gift. I don't mean joblessness that results in lack of direction, causing idleness and poverty. I mean the abandonment of a "real job" in favor of pursuing one's true calling. Maybe this is the time, or at least have the opportunity to think about it. I often say that people are too busy earning a living to get rich. Rich doesn't always mean money..if you know what I mean. Hmmm..that's an interesting thought...
I'm pretty thankful for the break. It sucks not getting money but it could be a lot worse. I'm pretty happy that I can sleep in (well I've beening doing this my whole life really) and have random adventures. Hurray for the advancement of random adventures!
I want to raise my glass for a toast....The glass is always half Full!!!

It's peanut butter jelly time!!!! That's for you Mom... hehaaheee
Well today was 2000 times better then yesterday... And that's no exageration by any means. The K-C's started the day with going to church with the family. This weekend My Sister Karen, Bro-in-law Joe and our the Two cutiest Nieces in the world made the trek from Jax, to visit with my Aunt Pat, and everyone else. My Aunt Pat is down visiting from the frozen tundra of Indiana. We spent the day having lunch and snacks, chit chatting, and of course have quality time with all. The two cutiest nieces (Abby and Chloe) are growing like little flowers, and they are doing fantastic. It was a great day and flew by too fast.

A Tale of Two Days
Today has been a tale of days. First Greg had his best round of golf ever. On a par 71 course he shot a 98 98!!! He then went up and spent the evening with his brother and family. The other day was Laura's. Laura's day was supposed to be simple, go to work get off and join Greg or see sister, bro in law, and nieces. Apparantly God had other plans because they went through hell with multiple groups of conflicting mothers each thinking that they were right and driving them all crazy. So you see it is a tale of two days one happier than the other. Well Goodnight!

Is this really a word??
Nougatocity – nu-gat-a-si-te
A heightened yet fleeting state of accomplishment that makes you realize how unbelievably unmotivated you normally are.
Huh? Is that what your saying.. so you want the heck am I talking about? Well, it’s 1:15 in the morning and I’m over tired and really should be in bed since I only have one day off this week. I’m hungry, there’s nothing good to eat.. that’s normal in my house, most of you know this already. So I happen to remember Greg brought home a snickers from work that he got on Friday. That’s right you guessed it right I ate it… Yummy..it was so good. And that was the word on the inside of the candy wrapper…Hmmm. So I googled it and yes it is another made up word, but I did stumble upon urbandictionary.com. What a great site. You should check it out if you like to make up nonsense like I do….
Here’s some vacab for everyone:
hungerectomy
1. The complete and total removal of your hunger
Drafternoon
Anytime after 12 pm to start pouring cold ones
abedgasm
A feeling of complete and utter euphoria which peaks when climbing into bed at the end of an 18-hour workday.
Well that's all I got folks see you next time....

Lesson Learned...
Monday I was off from work, I was thoroughly exhausted from the previous night work. It was busy...in the ruff and tumble way. Well, back to Monday.. I woke up at the crack of noon and was hungry. Well if you know anything about my fridge it's not know for being well stocked. So I decided to eat cereal, sounds great right? Not exactly.. My sister Sarah showed me this new honey, whatever Kashi brand cereal the friday before. I bought some and decided to try it out.. it was delicious!!! I had 3 bowls throughout the day, plusa bunch of celery sticks in the afternoon, and Kashi flatbread for dinner.....do yah see where i'm going? That's right today the fiber train had a party in my gut... I won't be doing that any time soon. Note to self...the nearest super market is 5 min away by car...

So are we likeing the Art Work?
I think it's quite lovely myself, and i think I'm going to keep it!!!
Is This Actually Illegal?
Friday, October 06, 2006
Scott William Poulton, an Australian man in his early 20s, was arrested for driving backwards on an empty highway in the Outback. Police were heading out onto the road when they saw a car coming towards them. They aimed their radar gun to check it out but were not astonished when they saw the car was approaching at a mere 56 km/hour (35 mph). They stopped the car when they realized it was "going the wrong way." The driver told them his transmission had "stuffed up" and the only gear he could use was reverse. So he did ... for about 20 km in an attempt to make it to the closest town.Police gave the man a breathalyser to determine sobriety which he, of course, passed. The driver was charged with reckless driving and driving while under suspension. It is unfortunate his license was suspended but I wonder what he had done otherwise. Is it illegal to drive in reverse? If so, why are manufacturers allowed to put an illegal gear into a car?
things that amke you go hmmm....

We WON...GO RAYS!!!!
ST. PETERSBURG -- B.J. Upton's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 11th gave the Rays a 9-8 walk-off win over the Red Sox in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series on Saturday.
The victory tied up the series at one game apiece, much to the approval of a sellout crowd of 34,904 at Tropicana Field.
Yes, everyone i stayed up to watch the game till the wee hours of the morning....
WE WON 9 TO 8
i THINK THOSE ARE MAGIC NUMBERS... YES 9=8.. COINCIDENCE I THINK NOT!!!
Nine players playing hard for nine innings equals one of eight playoff spOT.
i HOPE Fenway Park IS READY FOR US!!!!
