TC the Terrible

The Post has a really good article today on the dangers of kids wearing Heelys.  Those are the sneakers with wheels built into the heels.  And they are definitely a danger to the kids that wear them.

Not for the reasons that the Posts lists, but because the next time I’m in a store trying to spend money like a good consumer and get hit in the back by a midget on wheels – I’m breaking the midget in half.  That’s not a threat, just a promise.  So if you see a crabby old white guy on the news this week, being carted off to jail for breaking a kids’ ankles at the mall, you’ll know that it was me.

I can’t believe that I’m just now getting around to seeing the new Silver Surfer movie, starring Jessica Alba.  Cause we all know how I feel about Jessica Alba.

THE BOY and SDFM are going with, so it’ll be a good time for all.  And for the record, SDFM now has a BF that’s “not that serious”.  But when asked how serious “not that serious” really is she blushes and tries to divert the conversation.  I know that’s girl code for something, but I’m not sure what.

The best gift yesterday was the two hours that I had the house to myself.  Not really, but that was nice.

I did get a branding iron with my initials on it, which was way cool.  THE WOMAN explained to me that it was not intended as a punishment for the kids, but is used for branding steaks.  A bit of a let down.

The big thing is that all of the kids thought of me, and that was enough.  At my age I don’t want any more “stuff” on holidays.  I’ve boxes full of “stuff” in the crawl space below the house that won’t see the light of day until we move again.  Why add to it?
