This weekend I really didn’t do too much. Saturday, I should have mowed the lawn but I put that off until Sunday which was a good idea because it was ballz hot Sunday. I think I lost about a gallon of water in the short amount of time it took to mow the lawn. Which is just south of 60 minuets.

Saturday I finally fixed my leaky toilet. The valve that shuts off when the floaty thingy floats wasn’t shutting off when the water filled the tank. I replaced the whole mechanize with a new one. It only took me a hour, which includes the drive to the Ace Hardware in Westport.

After that I bolted over to Toys R Us near Oak park Mall to get the kids their b-day gifts. A few years ago Nicole yelled at me for not putting tissue paper in the bag that I put their presents in. (I quit wrapping gifts a few years ago once I learned that I can just put them in a nice decorative bag. Who knew?) But I didn’t pay too much attention to the bag that I bought her. It was a baby bag that had pictures of baby stuff on it, like baby shoes, baby bottle, and a baby bib. I just saw that it was pink and thought it would be alright. Well, she wasn’t too happy about it and asked me a couple of times why I bought a baby bag. I just told her that I was in a hurry and didn’t pay attention. She just turned 9 btw.

Zach, on the other hand, opened his Star Wars plane thing, set it aside and went straight to his new truck.

While I was at Target on Saturday, picking up the tissue paper. I stroll thought the watches wanting to pick up a cheap Ironman watch for my runs, my last one just up and quite working after about 4 years. I spot a heart rate monitor just sitting my it’s self. The tag on it says 50 BUCKS! I check out the functions and it has everything that I wanted on it. The only draw back is that it has a strap that you have to wear around your chest in order to get a heart beat. So I guess I’ll have to wear a stupid strap. But that is really not that big of a deal. I spent Saturday night setting it up. As along as the strap doesn’t bother me when I run then I’ll be good with it.

Sunday I was going to get up early and mow the lawn, so I could beat the heat, but that just didn’t happen. I finally got around to doing it about noon. Which I pretty sure is the hottest part of the day. So that was a good idea.

After doing that I went down to the local movie plex and saw The Dark Knight. Its a pretty good move you should see it if you like big explosions and lots of action. but don’t let your kid see it. Harvey Dent gets a pretty nasty make over when he becomes Two Face. I don’t think any amount of Proactive is gonna fix his face. YIKES!!

I also realized, during the movie, that I might need to get my hearing checked, for some reason I had a hard time understanding Christian Bale when he was in a scene as Batman, anyone else?

As I was woofing down hand fulls of popcorn at the movie I had this thought “Popcorn is a lot like snow flakes, no two are the same.” Have you even found two pop corn kernels that popped exactly the same?

Ya’ll have a nice week.
