Lately I’m thinking…

Bear hats are a looking to be a hot summer 2010 item. And look, when we stand next to each other it says “Montana State Bobcats”! That wasn’t even on purpose, but sometimes things just work out when you least expect them to

This is really interesting…

Here’s another little scrabble tid bit I found out last night – not only was steph just trying random words, she was GOOGLING things like “words that start with q and end with y”. No wonder I lost – i was playing against a robot with unlimited powers and infinite wisdom

Lately I’m thinking…

Anyways I’m back to playing again, we started a new game with mostly legitimate words and I won last night so I was super excited and super back on board. I’m currently losing though so I might quit forever again – i’m trying to play it cool though

Currently watching…

top chef – I always wonder to myself “what kind of tacos would I make?” if I was on that show and was given any challenge

“Well, that’s just great. You hear that, Ed? Bears. Now you’re putting the whole station in jeopardy.”

Current Status…

Oh I don’t know how about a billion!? Well since this isn’t Nam’, and there are rules, I’ll go with a 10. Hopefully I can maintain this straight through the great status crash of 2010 Sunday morning. I’ve got a 1 year old’s bday party tonight (first time for both us) followed by Molly’s bday at bleachers. Then tomorrow after some Mackenzie River Pizza and 10,000 Silver Dollars shopping the Jeep, scratch that the PRIUS (it’s 2010 you know) will be touching down on C Street around 6:00 PM MST. Game on. Throw a family email chain on top of that and you have yourself a good day

Shout out to…

Ryan Klitz (& fam) for taking care of Seeley this weekend. She loves you. Bonus shout out to steph for driving her most of the way down there.

Lately I’m thinking…

Tanner didn’t you ask for hail earlier so you can get a new roof?? Well I bet you didn’t consider everyone else’s windows who got busted out

Lately I’m thinking…

okay turns out I just didn’t have anything else to put here. Oh Mom I have a question – the 1 year old birthday party is a pizza party – when was my first pizza party? I bet it was awesome

Tanner I’ll take the same spot as usual please. If I get there before you do I’ll just save you one though and take your room. Can’t be that hard to change a sign

Lately I’m thinking…

Speaking of changing…don’t any of you folks out there go changing on me

Current Status…

9.7 – Even though I was at work for 12 hours yesterday so I don’t really have anything to talk about today. I’m cashing in a $10.00 check from little caesars today so that might bump me up a .1 as well. On a side note, after two 3-day work weeks I have to work 4 days this week. Tomorrow is going to be rouugghhh

Yesterday Steph went and saw Pat and Katie’s new baby, and apparently it’s the first time she’s ever seen a baby because she told me multiple times that she couldn’t believe how small babies are and then how big they end up growing. (she used the poor example that a little tiny baby will one day be as big as I am…). Anyways, then she wanted to know what animal grew from smallest to biggest and wouldn’t let it go until i googled it. I said it’s probably a kangaroo and she pointed and laughed at me. Final answer says….the Red Kangaroo!! I should seriously be a nature guide (click here)

The Soapbox:

I’ve got some ocean front property in Arizona

I honestly would have updated my gadget 4 hours earlier if I had a picture to use. If i don’t I never know how to get started. I might just have to start an early run of 4th of july photos to keep this thing plowing ahead.

Currently watching…

Wow I can’t believe the bachelorette got rid of the 2 most obvious guys by far without the producers making her keep them. One guy basically talked for the first time on show (the guy who looks like Nadal) and then she act surprised that he wasn’t that interesting. Here’s a snippet of the conversation: Ali: “So what’s something I’d be surprised to know about you?” Nadal: “I’m funny…..” followed by 45 minutes of silence. Ali: “What’s a guilty pleasure of yours?” Nadal: “I like mexican food” Blade: “you’re a complete idiot”

Lately I’m thinking…

Tanner and Jakers, I got a lot done yesterday too which was pretty impressive considering I travled for 11 hours on Sunday and then worked until 7:30 last night. I’m mowing the lawn tonight and maybe doing some bike maintenance. Keep in mind my “lawn” is the size of a miniature golf hole so I just hope it doesn’t take me 45 minutes to mow it like last time

This is really interesting…

It’s sunny in Seattle today. Just in time too as the days are now getting shorter every day

Fun Fact: every Smokey the Bear has to have a handler at all times (see the guy in the yellow shirt)

Shout out to…

The entire Klitz familly for a super fun weekend of camping and fishing. I’m definitely not firing on all cylinders today. I’m not even sure if I have A cylinder, let alone many cylinders to necessitate an entire “firing on all” statement. See the soapboxes for some of my ‘firsts’ from the trip

Lately I’m thinking…

I’m not going to have any drinks….until I go to vegas Thursday at 8:00 AM….ouch

This is really interesting…

I think I ate better on the camping trip than I usually do back in civilization – hamburgers, hot dogs, corn, fish tacos, chicken, potatoes, breakfast buritos, beef tacos – delicious. There was also a very handy open bar setup. on a side note, I hurt my hip playing horseshoes. It hurts to walk. That’s embarassing

Shout out to…

Everyone in Billings who is dealing with some damage from the tornado, including my mom who’s basement flooded! 😦 She put out a tip jar in case you are driving by with extra money. Click here for the video of the metra getting destroyed (Steph and I just saw a concert there last summer and I guess the day before the tornado hit there was a football game inside). (p.s. i haven’t watched the video with sound so sorry if it’s inappropriate for some reason)

The Soapbox:

Trip Firsts: cleaning a fish, taking the hook out of the fish (i usually need help), eating fish tacos provided by myself, putting a live cricket on the hook (almost), sleeping outside on a cot, In & Out burger, and a sandwich from subway. nature

This is really interesting…

I’m going on a 4 day fishing/camping trip with 14 guys from Steph’s extended family tomorrow – pretty casual. I just hope that everyone knows going into this thing that my idea of “roughing it” involves singing karaoke at the filling station bar in Seeley Lake with some sort of an animal shirt on. NAATTTUUUURRRREEEE

Lately I’m thinking…

I’m going to have MOD pizza for lunch because I don’t think I’ll have pizza again until Sunday night at the earliest! My plan of “playing it cool” on this trip does not include bringing a frozen pizzas unfortunately

Lately I’m thinking…

The #1, #2, and #3 reasons why I one day want to have a water filter is the ability to make nature-ades (nature water, gatorade mix and vodka)

This is really interesting…

I finally got a haircut and I’m taking the train for the first time tonight (to portland). ooops, sorry, i thought this section was “not interesting and unrelated”

The Soapbox:

Assuming the campsite doesn’t have computers and wi-fi I’m out Thursday and Friday, so have a fun and safe weekend everyone!! I hope summer is here by the time I get back. If not I’ll just go to vegas for the weekend
