the karate kid

Brian and I always vowed that if we ever had children, they would take karate. This revelation came after watching a bunch of little kids expending all of their energy while we went to watch a friend practice karate a number of years ago.

With much apprehension and even a few tears in anticipation of, Jacob had his first karate lesson this evening at Joe Goss Karate. Jacob takes a while to warm up to situations in general, so this was no different. He was all freaked out about going and has been talking about it for days now. But, once we got there and all of the kids started to arrive, I knew everything was going to go well. After the lesson was over, he came out to the waiting room and proclaimed “I love karate!”

I knew he would.

finances

busted

I tried to cash one of Brian’s expense checks this afternoon (for the whopping amount of $5.88) and was reprimanded by the bank teller: “Angela, did you sign both names on this check?” Duh.

So, instead of cashing it, they had to deposit the darned thing. I’ve only been signing Brian’s checks for about 8 years now. It must’ve been a new teller, because all of the other ones I’ve gone to sure didn’t care. Jake’s more pissed than I am, though–he didn’t get a lollipop.

politics

i’m angela law and I had prunes for breakfast

Maybe if the politicians were saying that instead of their usual spiel, they wouldn’t be so full of shit.

At any rate, the election is two weeks away. Make sure you exercise your right to vote–even if it is for the wrong candidate (I think we all know who I’m talking about). I’ll need someone to blame if/when the world goes to hell in the next four years.

weather

my first haiku

I hope the rain ends
Before the winter arrives
I do not like snow.

Let’s just say that this was inspired by the weather. If you live in western PA, you know what I’m talking about.

politics

bushisms

Surely everyone has heard about these before. But, they’re worth another look since the election is so close. They always crack me up until I realize that the guy who is saying these funny things is the leader of the free world. Yikes.
