Day-18: This Kind Of Evening

mmmmm

 Nearly any reason to enjoy good Whiskey is a worthy reason. Today's reason - just an overall good day.



I'm going to ignore the fact that today technically started at midnight, which will allow me the opportunity to ignore the fact that Deborah was a fussy sleeper last night and I woke up grumpy. My Blog, my rules - today my day started at 8:30 AM. 


My Schedule Today:

• 8:30 AM - Took the boys to a T-Ball Clinic at the high school
• 9:30 AM - Had a coffee from McDonalds :)
• 10:30 AM - Helped my future sister-in-law move into her new place 
• 12:00 PM - Had a Coors Light
• 1:00 PM - Had pureed split pea soup and helped clean the house
• 2:30 PM - A buddy came over and we watched college basketball / The Amazing Spiderman
• 5:00 PM - Had pureed chili for dinner
• 5:45 PM - The wife and I took the kids to the mall, I needed a wallet and Beth needed to get out of the house
• 7:30 PM - Watched Phineas and Ferb on the couch with the boys
• 8:10 PM - Put the boys to bed - Beth put Deborah down
• 8:15 PM - Sitting on the couch with Beth, watching We Bought a Zoo, drinking the last of my 16-Year Aberlour and writing

Some Thoughts On The Mall:

• Teens today dress in the most ugly clothing - seriously, to me they dress as though they lost a bet. Did my parents think that about clothes when I was a teen?
• If you are ever in a foreign city and feel homesick find the nearest mall and go there. Malls are so similar that the mall you are at will feel just like your local mall and help you to feel better
• J.C. Penny is a great place to use the restroom, clean and not crowded - it's upstairs, just past the luggage section 
• Malls are crowded on an early Saturday evening 
• The children's play area is not as unlike a midget cage fight as one would think 
• Soft pretzels smell delicious - they boys get the pretzel bites and they were as tempting as anything I've come across during the last 18-Days
• The food court is brimming with cholesterol and adolescent insecurities
• I love to watch the people at the mall
• Did I mention that teens today have no sense of fashion? 

 Just Some Random Thoughts:

• We Bought a Zoo is super cute
• I'm sad that my Aberlour is now gone, of all the Whiskeys I've owned, it's my favorite. 
• Today felt like the perfect way to spend a Saturday 
• Saturdays are not nearly as hard I they were in 2011
• I still have 26-Days to go
• J.C. is my homeboy

Started the day at 197 LBS.
