The one with 4 parts.

Part 1: Thanks to Drew's crew for the time off. I do want it known, however, that my last post was not intended to make anyone feel bad. I was not yelling at y'all. I just did not enjoy feeling like I had to explain myself every other post. I love that you guys care about me and miss me. If I hurt your feelings, I am truly sorry.

Part 2: Have you ever received a package that looked like this?
















It would appear that the good people at Margaritaville are unaware of the fact that you should not ship something in a box 4 sizes to large. Somehow the contents survived unharmed, making this a funny story.

Part 3: I have been tagged by Trish for the ABC thing.

B- Best Friend? Doug, Chris, and Nick. Friends since high school.

Part 4: Kari tagged me to list 6 weird things about me.

1. I like olives, but I hate them on pizza.

2. Most of my colon has been removed. I now have a semi colon.

4. I don't like chocolate.

5. Two of my best ideas came to me in dreams. How to propose to Sweety Pie and the idea for my book.

6. I think that ABBA was pretty good.

Thought for the day -

If life gives you lemons, send them back and demand what you ordered.
