Random Musings, by The Editor

So, since I had to pull a post from the mental archives, I realize that I have to come up with some new material. Nothing really totally eventful happened today... so I digress.

1. I love the GC's blog posts. I think they're a nice touch; definitely a game-changer from my sarcastic wit. I wish she would do more, but she says this is "my project."

2. Yesterday I got baby bumped! Entirely by accident. Thankfully I was sitting, or I would have been knocked over. Poor GC! Thank goodness this is under 2 months now.

3. The GC really is having to use her motor now. The other day she got into her car's passenger door like an elderly lady: opened the door, walked up to the opening, turned around facing outward, gingerly plopped down into the seat, lifted her legs from outside into the car's floorboards, and then closed the door. Man, that looks tough!

4. I know I have told her before that "If I could, I would carry this pregnancy." Trying to be all supportive. Although recently, the truth is I don't think I could. If God were to come into the Green Machine now and say "Michael, you can carry this BY for the rest of the term." I would go, "Ummm.... look at the time.... I have a thing... oh look, there's Jesus!!!" and then run in the other direction.

(Editors note: My Catholic guilt got to me. I did not, in any way, intend to blaspheme the Lord's name. It's just humor, Sir.)

5. The GC is amazing. I might poke some fun at her, but in my own way, I'm trying to keep her happy. This is only a temporary rental of her body.

6. I went to the DMV today. Not as painful as it sounds. Now I'm a legit NC citizen. I did get nervous next the Po-Po. I don't know why, but I'm a stammering idiot in front of the Law! Somehow I made it through.

7. One of the questions on the test was: "A recent survey found that the following drivers are more prone to accidents. A. Middle age drivers. B Female drivers. C. Slow drivers." I laughed out loud. I soooo wanted to put B.

8. The one bad thing is now my license photo is horrible. The FL one (yes I still had my license from florida) showed this strapping, hot sexy stud with hair. This NC one is from super close up. Damn it looks like I have a quadruple chin, extraordinary large forehead, and wrinkles like they're going out of style. This baby is never leaving the wallet.

9. It is funny. We have become a family of the internet. Take right now for instance. The GC is laying on the couch with her computer, looking at her favorite blog, occasionally mumbling something incoherent. While I am sitting at the corner table/office/dining room blogging away. The only thing active is Ham, who just moved from one spot on the tile to one closer to the door.

10. We are still trying to figure out all the quirks of the GM. Figuring out which switch does what. All the little intricacies of an old house. For instance, we have this button over to the right. What the hell does it do? We have no idea. It is old school, with a little black ball that switches to red when you push it. Nothing happens. That we know of!! Any ideas?

11. The old owners really had a thing about securing their stuff. There are locks everywhere. On the Passover Closet. (Yup) The secret closet in the closet. Bathroom drawers? Seriously who locks stuff in their bathroom drawers. A deadbolt to the entrance to the mancave, with its own alarm sensor. Really? Hmmm

12. Charmaine has a thing for saving old class notes. Yup. She does. Granted these are the neatest, most meticulous notes you will ever see. She cannot throw them away. I just opened another box of them. Seriously. Who wants to review Organic Chemistry? I might have to have an intervention. Maybe have to call Niecy Nash and Clean House. Wait, I'll post a picture.

13. We finished assembling the crib (another post for another time.) Whew! When we were done, we looked back. Oh Boy! This is really going to happen.
