Ever Wonder.......

...what would happen if you pushed that "emergency" button at the gas station?  Wonder no more becuase the clown in the white and blue striped shirt does it for you.

THOUGHTS RUNNING IN MY HEAD..

It's 11:00 pm and I'm sitting here watching yet another round of HGTV.  I've watched way too much HGTV since having Beckett.  I think I like "House Hunters" the best - it's always fun to guess which house the prospective buyers are going to pick.  I think I'm right about 60% of the time.

Anyway, Beckett and I both have colds!  It stinks to be tired and have a cold on top of that.  Luckily my mom is coming up for the day tomorrow which means I can get caught up on the 80 loads of laundry that need to be done.  Laundry is the worst!  It's my least favorite chore of all!  At least with dishes you can get paper plates and just throw them away.  I think we should come up with paper clothing - wear it once and then toss it.  I know it doesn't sound eco-friendly, but perhaps we can come up with a nice recycled pant suit or something - ?.  The problem with laundry is that there are just too many steps - sort (darks, whites, colors), then wash, then put it into dryer, then fold (and iron if necessary) and then put away.  Sounds simple but it's really not.  It's just an endless cycle - perhaps the nudists have it right. 

Beckett just let out a huge fart.  Just like his old man.

Anyone else sick of playing "dodge the pot holes?"  It's bad this time of year.  Although I will say, when I have Beckett in the car, pot holes keep him quiet.  I may be ruining my front axle, but it keeps my baby from crying.

Will was going the bathroom the other day (#2).  He yelled out to me, "MOMMY, COME LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY!!"  Just like his old man.

Okay, time for bed.

Big Brother-Little Sister

I was looking for a picture on my sisters blog and found this little post.

I don't know how I missed it when it was originally posted but I must say I am devastated by this news.  This would explain why my sister is so different than me.  We are so different yet so alike all at the same time. We don't agree on Religion or Politics.  She is Right and I am Left.  I vote Erin most likely to cause a scene anywhere she goes whereas I try to fly below the radar at all costs.  I remember I went to the mall with her many many years ago and she was not happy about the service she was getting from the clerk at the counter.  My sister demanded that she talk to the manager, the clerk replied "I am the manager".  I can't tell you what happened after that because I hightailed it out of the store.  I can tell you I have never been to the mall with her since!

When we were young and we would go out to eat her food was N-E-V-E-R done right whereas I have eaten bad food before as to not cause a scene (that and I am convinced that if you send you food back the people in the kitchen do unholy things to it-once it's been delivered the food never leaves my sight!).  How are we alike? She introduced me to Wendy, her best friend and my wife.  Her husband Jermaine is one of my best friends, so we seem to like the same kind of people. We both love living in Maine and spending time with each others family's.  So are we really all that different?

The YEN stops here

1:30 PM UPDATE-Crisis resolved.  Now Big Papi can bring me back some fresh Sushi.

9:00 am As of this moment the Sox season opener in Japan is not going to happen.  The Sox players just voted to Boycott the trip in support of some of the coaches who were not getting paid for the trip.  The trip CAN still happen if the coaches get paid.  In all honesty I don't view this gesture as honorable as you may think.  Something tells me they are looking for any excuse not to go.  I am guessing if they don't go they will forfeit the 2 games.  More on the story @ Boston.com.

Gas Tips

Interesting post from Melissa at Mainelife on some gas pumping techniques.  Every little bit helps as we grow closer to $4.00/Gallon.  On a side note for us Mainers also check out her link about the stolen credit card digits over at Hannafords.

On the outside looking in at my favorite Irish bar in Boston.  I wish 
I were inside but I must get back to work.  I just came by feel some 
good St Paddys Day vibe in the greatest city in the World. Especially 
on March 17th.

Trap is set

So our annual St. Paddy's Day ( I know I know it's really tomorrow) extravaganza is over.  The 5Moores joined us and as usual it was a great time.  The photos are uploading now ***DISCLAIMER-98.73456 % of the pictures were taken by my sister and I stole them***.  Check Em Out Here!

But here are a few favs.

My wife with a corned beef mustache.  She cooks and wears...

Kids hyped up on cake

And finally....the trap!  This is our Leprechaun trap.  We set one every year hoping to catch a Leprechaun the night before St. Patrick's Day.  How can he resist the Hershey Kiss trail leading him to certain capture?  We haven't caught the little bugger yet.  He is not happy when we set the trap- Last year he flipped our couch and made a mess.  If we don't catch him this year we may have to set up a hidden camera.

St. Patricks Day Celebration

Today we are celebrating St. Patrick's Day.  We have pretty much an all day celebration on tap with different friends and family stopping by throughout the day.  Irish music is being pumped throughout the house (my iTunes Irish Playlist is below).  The day will conclude with an Irish Supper around 4.  On the menu (made by the best cook I know..Wendy).. is "Guinness Corned Beef" slow cooked in brown sugar and Guinness.  Boiled vegetables and Irish Soda bread.  (hey Wendy where's the Colcannon)?.  Of course there will be a Guinness or two and perhaps a little green American beer for those who can't handle the good stuff :-).   For those under 21 there will be a nice cake (supplied by Auntie Erin) with tons of white and green frosting..and maybe a hot dog or two?
UPDATE:  Erin will also be bringing Boxtys.
