Not for me. I’ve been married for 12 years now. No, no… I’ve been asked to be in a wedding quite that is coming up quite soon. I didn’t make Best Man, I was only asked to be a Groomsmen. Which is fine by me, I won’t loose any sleep over it. It is quite an honour to be asked to take part in someones very important day regardless of what part you play. The one thing I don’t care for is the money that is one is expected to put out when being in a wedding. I know that the bride and groom are the ones that usually pay for the majority of the celebration, but sometimes I feel that they forget how much others will have to shell out to be in the wedding. It shouldn’t be expected that others have to spend lots of money too. In total, I’ll probably be shelling out close to $600 or $700 when it’s all said and done. The suit I got, the travel costs and hotel, the gift, food and any thing extra that happens to pop up. While I’m happy to be in the wedding, I could do with out the cost of it all.
Since we’re getting close to Halloween lets talk about what scares us. Don’t hold back. It can be something very serious or something totally absurd.
For me, I’m totally afraid of spiders. It started when I was little and I saw a zoomed in photo of a spider head. I screamed and threw the magazine and was terrified of them ever since (I’m getting better though). I’m afraid of confrontations and I usually try to avoid them when ever possible.
Larger fears I have are, I’m afraid of losing my family to any sort of accident. I watched my Dad as he went through the loss of his girlfriend at the time. It was very rough on him. I’m also very terrified to die. I’ll sometimes keep myself awake at night worrying and thinking about my last moments and when they might be.
Crazy fears are… I’m afraid of waking up one day to realize something it different. Could be something like, someone doesn’t exist and never did or my job is something different or I don’t have any kids so something like that. The kicker is, I’m the only one that knows that something is different. I know, I know… it’s crazy and very twilight zone. Also, thanks to The Walking Dead, I’m afraid of zombie outbreaks. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t last long so it’s not very comforting to think I’m could be devoured by the undead. *shudder*
Today I tried something new. I’m out at an all day breakfast place and I see poached eggs with hollandaise sauce. I’ve never had this before so I thought, why not. Now, not only was this just eggs and yellow sauce, it was steak, mushrooms, swiss cheese, eggs and yellow sauce… on an english muffin and man, it was damn tasty. Oh there was potatoes and fruit there too. Don’t get me wrong they where good too, but they weren’t the stars of the show. Now the real question. Would I order this again? Hell yeah I would! Too bad this was a limited time dish. >_<
When was the last time you tried a new food? Did you like it?
I just watched the new Iron Man 3 trailer. I’ve enjoyed both Iron Man movies (still haven’t seen Avengers yet), and this looks right in line with them. Super hero action and stuff blowing up. Something did catch my eye though as I watched the trailer. At 1:12 there is an explosion but in the background there is a stuffed bunny and well. I’ll let you see…
That stuffed bunny totally looks like it has boobs. Am I wrong? Do you see it too? But yes, I do realize those are the bunnies arms.
Today I got to some much-needed yard work around the house. It’s been hard to get to because of so much rain we’ve had. Which is totally the opposite of the summer time. I guess we’re making up for it now. It’s great, but sucks at the same time. Every time I figured I’d be able to go and get some yard work done, it goes and rains again! Ugh! That or my weekend was already booked. Thankfully it was nothing but blue skies today so I was able to get it done. Now my house doesn’t look so run down. Wife was even able to put up some fall decorations. Yay!
As I was doing the yard work, I thought about a friend of mine that just bought a house and how he now has all these new responsibilities and a never-ending job list. Oh the joys of owning a home.
Do you own a home? How do you feel about yard work?
Today, when I was out getting my lunch I stopped and thought for a moment. I don’t recalled the last time I used cash to buy something. I debit or credit for pretty much all my purchases, and online banking for the rest of it. Physical money rarely ever in my wallet any more. I’m sure banks just love this though, as they make tons of money off the card fees. But it’s kind of scary when you think about it. If all my money is digital, do I have any money at all? If society where to collapse, I’d be screwed with no real money. That is, assuming money still has any value in a fallen society.
I remember the first time I used my debit to buy a bag of chips. I felt like such a fool for using it for a buck something. It was like “I didn’t have a dollar, but you can take a dollar from my magic money card”. Now I use it for stuff like that and I don’t even think. I probably should carry some cash on me in case of an emergency. Not sure what kind of emergency, but I wouldn’t want to be wishing I had money when all I have is a card that say I have numbers in a computer.
Do you carry cash at all any more or have a jar of money buried in the backyard?
Also… I do remember when I last used cash. About 3 weeks ago I used 5 bucks at the local bulk store to buy pretzels and Big Foot candy. I can’t remember where I got the $5 bucks though. o_O
