Neighbors

 

I'm thankful for them all. Though I don't know many of them, the older couple that lives next to me has always offered a helping hand when I've needed it. The rest are very friendly and though I STILL haven't meet the family that moved in a year ago, 2 houses down, I'm very satisfied to who all lives around me. 

This neighborhood never has issues, or crime and though it's changed slightly since Megan and I have moved in, it's still the perfect place to live. Traffic on the roads is small. Since it's a circle, the only people really driving on it is folks who live here. So I'm not too worried to have the kids play outside. 

It's funny, because I don't want my kids out in the street playing, but as a kid...that's where we were a lot of the time. Playing tennis, kickball, etc. 

My, my, my how times have changed!

My minivan

I LOVE my mini van! About a year old now and it's perfect. Easy to get in and out of, the kids call it the "cool car" and Megan (who has hated minivans ever since I've known her) always looks for a reason to drive it. 

It's served me well so far with zero issues. I'm looking forward to spending many more years with it hauling the family around. 

I found this, right in my home town for a steal. nicer than anything I could find online and a better model too! it's funny because I don't think the car lot knew what they had. They knew nothing about the car and had just got it in a trade, which I guess they thought "Who would want a minivan?"

Well I was THEIR GUY! And swooped it up quick. 

Love it. 
 

My House

 First off, I'm thankful for this house. 

We got it at a great time when the rates were super low. I could never afford such a house these day. It's got plenty of room and from the moment I walked in, I could see my future here. 

It took some damage during the winter storm, but now it's all better and I'm thankful it's still in one piece. It's a monster to clean on my own, but I continue to tackle it every day for 1-2 hours as my fraggle-children do their best to tear it apart. 

Giving Thanks

 It's that time once again boys and girls! Thanksgiving month is here and (as always) I have a lot to be thankful for! I'm going to try to mention different things from last year but there's a lot of things from this year I can be thankful for as well. 

For a lot of folks, Christmas season is in full effect, but in my house, no decor goes up until after Thanksgiving. From now until that day, I'm going to be thankful for everything in life. 

So let's kick this off to say Happy Thanksgiving Season everyone!

I hope you have as many things to be thankful for as I do. 

Fall 2 (review)

 I couldn't believe they made another one of these.

But when I realized how cheap they were to make, I knew exactly why they did. 

This is a generic sequel, that introduces the trope "little sister" (we never heard about in the first film) which attempts to tie the stories together. They threw in flashbacks or her with her big sister, but mainly for foreshadowing what was to happen later in the film. 

I knew that immediately after the first 20 minutes.  You have to follow an incredibly thin plot, padded with little reason as to why all the characters are doing  what they do in the film, added with tense moments of them about to fall in-between. Which is expected in a movie called "Fall 2"

How many of these movies will they make? Depends on how much money they continue to bring in. 

Overall, the movie's ok. If you're bored and looking for something to watch I guess you could do worse. 

Have a good weekend folks!

Ziploc Bags

I don't why, but lately my wife has decided it's better to keep leftovers in ziploc bags rather than tupperware. 

Everything. Soup, spaghetti sauce, veggies. You name it, it's in a ziploc. It's annoying. When have tons of tupperware, easy to dispense out. I feel I'm squeezing a tube of food paste every time I get something out of one of these bags. And to take it with me? I put it in tupperware. 

Don't know if this is just my wife or all women. But it's another question I thought I'd ask you. 

 

Women and the seat belt

 I don't know what it is about women and putting on their seat belt when they get in the car but they NEVER want to do it. 

It's not just my wife either. Last week I had 2 different woman from work drive with me for functions and they took forever to put the belt on. My car kept chiming over and over for about 10 minutes before they finally put one on. 

They couldn't hear it?? I don't get it. Why is this such a big deal? Is this most women or just the ones who ride with me?

I don't know and I don't get it.
