Here we go again. Time for Random Tuesday Thoughts, this time on Saturday as I'm a day late and a dollar short. Check that, I'm four days late or three days early (take your pick) and god knows how many dollars short.
Well, this Thursday R.E. Dad shaved which has become an increasingly rare event since I left the labor force almost two years ago. Heck, who am I kidding? I hardly ever shaved for the benefit of my fellow office mates either. Just ask them. After a few weeks, however, I just couldn't stand that tingly feeling of my whiskers swaying like prairie grass in a meadow (felt like dozens of bugs crawling on my mug).
Funny, I used to think that when I shaved I looked years younger like I'd be carded trying to get into a rated "R" movie. But what about now? Not so much. I see the beginnings of a "Turkey Neck". I remember that my Mom used to give my Dad shit a hard time about the loose skin below his chin. I don't believe he liked the idea of having a big ass wattle either!
Speaking of family...Mom MD and I have a couple of ongoing debates. I'm curious what you think. The first one is unwrapping presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? The second has to do with kissing on the lips. Nope, I'm not talking about your spouse. I'm talking about kissing everyone else on the lips like your kids, your mom, your step dad and your grandma.
Speaking of kids....a tripletism. The triplets have been taking swimming lessons through the city parks and recs the past couple weeks, but missed a couple days due to a pooping brat some kind of chemical imbalance at a local high school pool. The city added a make-up day to be held on Thursday at another high school. The night before the trips were to attend their make-up session, five-year old Alec asked me what the boys would be doing at tomorrow's swimming lesson. I said "I don't know what do you mean? Probably, the same thing as the girls....why?" He said "Well, the girls will be doing make-up!"
Yeah, different type of make-up Mr. Man. Again I don't make this stuff up.
I wanted to go into some other stuff like what a difference between telling a new relationship with whom you will soon be cohabiting that you'll be moving in with extra baggage vs. additional luggage. This is a potential life altering event. How do people learning English as a second language survive?
So much more, but gotta go for now.....hope everyone is enjoying their weekend...

Christmas presents the morning of. We allow one gift on Christmas eve. They shake and debate and try to guess which one gift will yield an evening's entertainment. Because if they open the package of socks? That's all they get 'til morning.
We allow one or two gifts the night before, but the rest get done on the day. We typically have get togethers where gifts are exchanged, so lots of pre-day gifts are opened.
No kissing on lips outside of my spouse. Period. It makes me uncomfortable.
As we watch so many, including ourselves, experience the uncertainty of this economic recession, your blog is a breath of fresh air. No bitterness, just full of love for your kids and wife. Best of luck to you in finding the next job!
Christmas presents in the morning.
Kissing on the lips is usually reserved for my husband, however sometimes my grandkids. Oh, and my SIL is a lip kisser so occasionally I'll give her a smooch.
