A Daddy Day

The girls and I were planning on heading to Dallas this weekend to see her family. Unfortunately, LP's grandmother died so she and Caroline ended up going to West Va. to the funeral. It's really sad to see Memother go but I think she might have been the only one who was not upset over the process. She survived a year with ovarian cancer and got to see a lot of great things. I think she was truly thankful for the time she was given and expressed no regrets over having to go. I hope we all can live lives that leave us with that much integrity in the end.

I had already requested the day off for Friday and since our trip was postponed I should have just gone to work. However, I decided to keep the vacation day as-is and get a few things done.

I always claim I'm lazy and never get anything done, and Friday was no exception. But perhaps my expectations are too high. Here's a rundown of Friday aka A Daddy Day.

1. Brewed a pot of Peet's Holiday Blend. Peet's is tits (defn. 1)...mmmmm and read a few chapters of Matthew.
2. Looked at starting building my computer. Is the power supply dead? Shat. I go the wrong power supply for my motherboard. Email tech support several times. Find out I can buy an adaptor kit to make the MoBo and PSU work together. Whew. This rookie mistake only cost  me $26.
3. Golf lesson with Chuck. Chuck is an awesome teaching pro even though he's a 'Bammer fan. War Eagle Chuck !!
4. Dropped jeans at at the Chi circus to have them repaired.
5. Had lunch at Anna's school. It was their Thanksgiving Feast and it rocked.
6. Lifted weights
7. Tried out FitTV's Namaste Yoga. I'll grade it a 5/10. There are commercial breaks. You really need that in the middle of yoga. Ugh. Then with the remaining 22 minutes of show they have to move so quickly to get t/ the sequences that it's almost not worth it. I'll reserve final judgement 'til I get a few more in.
8. Home Depot
9. Best Buy-- if you're a guy and you have the day off I think you're required to do 6 or 7. I did both thus proving my uber manliness.
10. Pick up Anna from school. She's in the gym playing so I shoot some hoop with her and her friends. I also teach one of her friends to say "War Eagle." Sorry Amy and Armando. Now you know.
11. Head home and cook the quickest dinner in the world. Has anyone else heard of 90 second rice? It's real and it's fast like it claims. Not exceptional on flavor but will get you t/ in a rice fix. Plus, it's got enough sodium that you can salt your driveway in winter.
12. TCBY to get yogurt with Anna
13. Apple Store with Anna. Now this freaks me out. She actually wanted to go more than I did because she loves playing Dora's Animal Adventures Game. I'm really amazed at how well a 3-year-old can operate an Apple. I assume she'll have my job before too long. One-hour later I pull the plug and make her leave. She melts down but that's just part of parenthood, eh.
14. After Anna goes to bed I install the power supply in my computer and get things ready for the build.
15. Watched a special show on FitTV called "BodyBuilders." I'm there dude.

So, I guess I got a few things done.
