Good Morning & Happy Friday,
Did you miss me posting a blog entry yesterday?
Today is Friday 12/21/V3.3 & it is a change your cover photos to winter kinda of theme.
I didn’t do it before I went to work, or after the Omaha YR Holiday party. I was a busy guy, but I had fun. You can see some pictures of my day over here.
So my day started with a smile & a kiss from me to NOT YOU!
I then started doing laundry & helped my neighbor get her car shoveled out.
So I have to finish laundry & I want to wash dishes.
The word of the day is counterblast which is an unrestrained and vigorously powerful response to an attacking statement. I’ve counterblast-ed people in the past.
I also have to make my bed, be right back. Gotta keep the streak alive.
So as we were coming home yesterday, Mindi mention what we are having for brunch with her parent’s on Sunday. She told me that she told them that I didn’t like bacon, yeah the conversation took a turn for the worst at that point. EVERYONE knows that I like Bacon, you don’t mess with the bacon. As a side note to this instagram post, bacon comes from the belly of the pig.
You know what sucks, when you start a washer twice. Then you go to check on it & the washer didn’t finish the job. So much disappointment in that. So know I have to wait an extra LV mins for it to finish. It is okay, I won’t die. Just changes my schedule a little bit.
Have & MAKE IT a great day!
A man’s real and deep feelings are surely those which he acts upon when challenged, not those which, mellow-eyed and soft-voiced, he spouts in easy times.

Guess who has to work at 08.30 tomorrow? Guess who thought they worked at 11.00? Well as I hate guessing games, its the author of this blog entry.
The word of the day is echolalia which is the imitation by a baby of the vocal sounds produced by others, occuring as a natural phrase of childhood development.
So at work I was training today, the trainee wasn’t that hard to assist. She’s seen this program before, so we had a good base.
You know what I miss? That Banana I should’ve had before work. The 1st shift, I had a pear today before my 2nd shift.
Well that’s it for now.

Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child’s world and thus a world event.

Good Evening & Happy Snow Eve,
If ANY of the reports are accurate, Omaha will be getting snow tomorrow. That’s the last I’ll mention of snow on my blog. Until I make my next Snow Vernon. It is an annual tradition that won’t be broken.
You know how you can tell where there is someone newish at their job. They are telling you all these ‘valid’ rules that you didn’t know about. You also don’t care about said rules.
Okay, because tomorrow is another double, I’m cutting this one short.
Tomorrow is a very exciting day.
