This is Serenity's latest stunt. She falls off the couch on purpose. I guess as long as she's not hurting herself it's ok.

Passive Agressive
I wish I had a shirt that said that. Ok, so this is how it went down. I was working around the house and I come into the kitchen to see my loving daughter dunking my new cell phone into her cup of apple juice. You know that phone that does all sorts of stuff... well it doesn't do that stuff anymore. So, being the super genius that I am... I try to clean it with rubbing alcohol, thinking that it would easily evaporate... it kind of worked, sort of kind of.
Well, I have the insurance and I decided it was time to get a replacement. It's $50 for a new one and they overnight it to you. I call up and tell phone guy what happened and he's all cool. Then he gives me this line about how I HAVE to return the crap phone or they charge me an additional $200.00!! I ask what if it was stolen? He reply's that if that were the case then it'd be a mulligan and I just get the phone. So I say 'Jeshum H Christmas... it just got stolen!' Phone guys not buying it. Great... I get homework out of all of this, the question is why.
Well, the good people at dowee, chetem and howe want to refurbish my phone and make some cash on the side. That ain't cool... I pay an extra whatever a year to get this new phone and they want to Frankenstein my old one to boot. Not happening, it's just the principle of the thing. So I get to thinking... the phones broke right? I mean, it can't get no broker... or can it? This started the great phone mess-up of 09. I wish I would have thought to get pictures but after consecutive trips through the dishwasher and the dryer it was pretty crapped up. For good measure I sent some current through it first with this old motorcycle battery I had. Anyway, that's when I decided I needed a passive aggressor shirt. I mean, don't think that you're going to get one over on me... if there is a way I can retaliate that doesn't hold a major consequence and cannot be traced back to me! Oh yeah!

B-day party!
We're going to Pump It Up for a party today. If it's cool, Serenity will have her party there. Here's the text message I just sent my friend.
"Dude, I'll be there on-time for your kids party. I totally forgot his card at home but it's all good. Our's will be the one that looks like a Christmas present!"
Yeah, I rock.

An Ipod... because I wasn't pissed off at the world enough already!
I picked up an Ipod today. I've been avoiding it for a while and I thought I could just use my phone while at the gym but, I finally caved. These little 1 GB shuffles are nice because you can clip them on and rock out while you're doing just about anything. I got the green one because... that's the one I picked up.
Honestly, the reason I've been avoiding it is because of iTunes. I hate Itunes. It's crap, and you have to put a credit card into it just to use it!! Well, after jerking with it for a couple hours I got by the credit card thing, and then I found this nice little hack that allows me to drag and drop music into it like I would with any other MP3 player.
Even though I tweaked iTunes to do what I want... I swear my explorer processes is slower!! I'll have to mess with it some more. Oh, and I get some wicked cool apple stickers to throw out! Wow, I'm trendy! All in all it's pretty much the best player of this size for your money. I mean, it's loud, it has a great battery life and you get to dance like an idiot with it... like the commercials!
So, now I have no excuse not to go to the gym. I'm going to start going to the base gym again. Last time I went from 230 to 200 before I quit. I'm hoping to get back to that before we go to New York to swim in the crystal brown waters of Lake Erie! (for some reason I thought we were doing Lake Ontario this time) We should be up there in June... it'll be a blast!

The Excuse
Hayden was sick from school for two days. It's funny because, although I spent years forging absentee notes from my parents when I skipped school, now that I have to make an 'official' note... I don't know what to write!
This is what I have so far. For some reason I always want to make jokes on these kind of things... I guess it's the Arnold in me. Unfortunately Hayden's teacher, like most of San Antonio, does not understand sarcasm. This is the reason I get all those funny looks when I pick up Hayden. I can hear them when the whisper to each other "That guy thinks we're all really, really smart! He called me a genius yesterday!" Yeah... feel my pain.

Milbergers nursery
In a continuing effort to get rid of areas of the yard that I have to mow, we went to Milbergers nursery this weekend. We wanted to get a mountain laurel, which is pretty much a lilac that grows in Texas.
The place was pretty cool. You get a red rider wagon to put all your stuff in. Hayden and Seri had fun there. Of course Serenity was in white so she had to find a way to roll down a dirt hill in the first 10 minutes of being there!
They found this wooden dog that Serenity wanted to pet every time we passed it.
She was also a lot of help 'testing' out every wind chime she passed.
She even took some time to help me pick out some flowers. All in all it was a good trip. Once I get the plants um... planted I'll get some pictures up.
