Sunday bloggy sunday

Saturday for 3 hours I got to hang out with my ex! And some of that with his girlfriend too! wheee! my favorite! She spent $17 so that her dauchund could don a life jacket and swim in a pool for 15 minutes at the pet store. What a moron. Well it was a karate tournament for the kids, Jake got a first prize trophy for Forms and Cody got a second prize trophy for Board Breaking. Which is awesome BUT, EVERYONE gets a trophy. If you didn't win, you get a third place trophy no matter what. So, I argue that this method cheapens winning a trophy and as a result, no one reaaally feels like a winner. Lame. Kids aren't stupid. They know what's going on. All this damn self esteem stroking rubs me wrong. I mean, give those kids ribbons for trying hard, but the trophies should be for those who worked hard and excelled.
Right?

Wonderful thing:
Call information for free?
Yes, you can! 1-800-FREE-411

Need to find your soulmate?
Google claims that love is just another search problem.

The only weird thing is, if you want, they will send you on a free date with commercials from sponsors... Anyway if you're looking for love, check it out, because like this quote says (that I stole from another blog:)

OF ALL FORMS OF CAUTION, CAUTION IN LOVE IS PERHAPS THE MOST FATAL TO TRUE HAPPINESS.

So, go for it! Post a profile, or try a search for 'Jessica Alba'

Best line in 'Inside Man':
'Thanks, Mister Bank Robber!"
(its contextual, you have to see it)

Most shocking surprise:
Having a drink on a Saturday night at Ruby Tuesdays (gag) can be fun in the right company!

Interesting Party Fact:
Showing up at at midnight at a party that started at 8 allows you to see the worst moment in a party-throwers evening- when his synapses have begun to misfire because when the brain is swimming in four hours worth of beer it seems to cause a short. Funniest comment by said soused host: I AM NOT A YUPPIE WORM!

Sunday:
5 hour shopping marathon of hell was happily made more tolerable with V as a distraction ...As an aside, its an interesting experience doing every-day boring stressful real life things with someone you usually just do fun activities and non-real life things with.
Then football in the field 'till the sun went down!
(my arm hurts!)

You're so right about the self-esteem crap. Kids need to know the sting of defeat.

That's not for the purpose of stroking kids' self esteem. It's for stroking the self esteem of the money-payers... er, parents. A happy parent is a paying parent.
