I'm Back!

It was brought to my attention that I hadn't updated in a while. I'd be lying to say that I hadn't notice. I got to thinking about my quirks and then I never got around to actually writing them out. So to say true to my word, here are my 5 quirks that I promised would be my next entry.

1) I tend to like to take my time to do things. Not that I can't go fast. I actually do a number of things quickly. Like taking a shower (something I picked up on the mission, the amount of time you had to exercise (which wasn't an option) make breakfast, eat, take a shower, get dress and ready, was somewhat short and a 30 min shower was no luxury we could afford), driving home from work, and falling asleep. But most other things I'll go slower, enjoying it more, or putting it off more, which ever be the case.

2) Drinking Root Beer on "special" occasions. Special is in quotes because I'm the one who determines if a meal gets the root beer to wash it down or not. To be "special" I just have to either: a) really want root beer and have to justify lowering our amount in stock (since we never know when it might go on sell again and we can afford to buy it) or b) need a pick-me-up to change how the day has gone thus far.

3) Yelling out "Fazoili's!" whenever we pass by it. If you haven't eaten there, it is a fast food Italian place known for it's good food and awesome bread sticks. But to me, it is simple known as The Garlic Party On My Tongue Lounge. Yes, it is that amazing, I invite you to the party. The only rule is to yell out "Fazoli's!!!!!" whenever you are driving by it in your car. This quirk has its genesis to my Wichita Falls days when I would ride along with Jessica Stout and we would yell out random things to be cool... because turrets was cool back then... and it has carried over to my current life status. Go ahead, say it... you're jealous.

4) I know grammar and never have issues with it on spell check... just I can't spell for the life of me. So if you are ever in a position where you need to spell something correct or you'll die horrible with a noxious disease, don't call me. Call my wife.

5) I always say "Ideal" when I mean "Idea" and never do I say "Idea" when I mean "Ideal". To me, they are the same word, they do mean the same exact thing, and I can't tell a difference between them. My wife has gotten into the habit of always saying "Huh?!" when I use it wrong, she thinks that will undo 20 years of improper use... she is a little naive. But I can say this about her, she is consistent.

So, things have been up and down here. This last week at work my hours got "cut". They don't want up filling in on the other shift as much as we have. Karissa and I have opted to wait until after Christmas to do presents for each other so we can stay in budget. But we just love this time of year, it's our favorite, and I have to say, we have been taken care of so far, which is a great blessing.

On the Foster Care front, I call every Monday to check in on the status of our background check. Because mine had to be sent to Texas it is taking a lot longer. It's freaking annoying. Once that gets back we are good to go. They say we should be licensed by January. It can't get here soon enough.
