I TOTALLY did not think I would be getting anything for Valentine’s Day - I am SO happy I was wrong!!! Behold my Valentine’s flowers and candy from Todd.

Hope that everyone is having a great Valentine’s Day.  Mine has been okay, although there really is nothing romantic or exciting about sitting at your desk at work compiling 12 months worth of historical weather data from the NOAA website to prove to the Owner/Architect of a new hotel that is being built that a particular General Contractor is justified in asking that 68 additional days be added to his contract because of inclement weather.

Jealous?  Yeah I thought so!

I know a lot of you don’t have small children, but I do, so you’ll have to deal with a toddler post.  Do any of you watch Thomas the Tank Engine?  We are not HUGE fans of it, but it does come on Sprout at night while we are settling in, so Ashton usually watches it.  Every night I say to myself that the narrator’s voice sounds really familiar.  Well I finally paid attention to the credits - it’s George Carlin!!!

Now don’t get me wrong, I love George Carlin, in fact I took Todd to see him live for one of our first real dates and we had a blast - BUT…who thought that he would be a good narrator for Thomas the Tank Engine?  Who was sitting around the table brainstorming this one?  Well, he has to have a unique voice and he has to be able to offend someone at the drop of a hat, oh and drugs, make sure he has used A LOT of drugs in his life.  I think it is hilarious that they picked him for the job.  You know who it was before that?  Ringo Starr - another shining example.

You would think that with all this high dollar talent the show would at least be worth a shit and Thomas would not be such a whiney bitch!!!  No such luck!!!

This came in an email from my dad.  One of the few a day that I will open.
