Can I Get an Amen?

Good Morning Boys and Girls! It is finally Friday. Can you believe it? I think you can! It's about time it got here, too.

So the wife and I went to see the new Harry Potter last night - The Order of the Phoenix, and I must say, I have no idea why they called it that. They only mention the Order like 4 times in the whole movie. My wife would say "read the book," but I just don't want to now that I've seen the movie. What about you? Can you read a book after you see the movie or does it have to be the other way around? If I'm going to do both, I have to read the book first. Except then the movie's not quite as fun, because you already know what's coming.

I'm going to tell you something important now, but you must understand why I am telling you. I am not telling you so you will be inspired to run out and spend money, call me, or mail me a card, I'm simply telling you because, well, it's happening. My birthday is now less that two weeks away. Am I looking forward to it? No, not really. After 21, every birthday is just another year older. I'm not worried about actually being old yet, but I'm certainly not getting any younger. "But it's still your birthday, aren't you a little bit excited?" Well, I'm excited about what I might get... Isn't that what birthdays have become? Who can get you the coolest, most expensive gift? Yeah, I'm a little excited to see if anyone gets me something I want, but if they don't, I understand, cuz I have a fairly expensive list. I don't I listed anything under 25 bucks except one CD. It's sad, I know. Plus, like I said before, I'm just turning another year older, and how exciting can that really be? Christmas is a different story, just in case you're getting worried about my view of other holidays. Yeah, I start looking forward to Christmas on December 26th. I watch each month go by, and I count down to when the next Christmas will get here. Of course, if you remember how many days there are in a year, it's pretty easy to tell when it will get here...

So you know, I've been looking forward to going to the shooting range all week, but it finally hit me today, the shooting range is probably underwater. With all the rain this week, and how low down it is, I'm sure it's flooded. If I have to, I'll go to Top Gun (Indoor range), but I doubt anyone else will be able to come with me, cuz it's out of the way, and how many people are really gonna want to do that? Oh well.

Usually all the rain and gloomy weather would come across as depressing, but with today being Friday, it's not so bad. I can rejoice in the fact that when 5:20 gets here, I can be out the door, and I won't have to walk through that door again till Monday morning. I think this weekend will be a good one.

For those of you wondering, the first doctor's office visit concerning Small Change #1 (da baby) is the 7th, so please don't ask how it went yet. Once the 7th has come and gone, feel free to ask questions. In the mean time, mommy is doing good, experiencing increased hunger and fatigue already, but doing good otherwise. Later!
