Faster than a speeding Locomotive

I am walking by one of my co-workers desk and I notice that she has flowers resting next to her computer screen. “Nice flowers,” I say as I poke my head into the doorway.

“Thanks! … Rob (her husband) got them for me for our anniversary,” she replies.

A “nice vase”, “smell’s good”, “very pretty” and a few BLAH, BLAH, BLAH’s later she says, “you should buy your girl in DC some flowers.”

Side story:
A few weeks ago in Albuquerque (at Tim’s wedding) I met this girl and we sort of (and by ‘sort of’ I mean totally) hit it off. She lives in Washington DC and teaches Kindergarten… she is also very pretty.

“I already did buy her flowers,” I said. “Nice ones too (said with an embarrassed grin).”

She reply’s “You coach t-ball, have a job, workout AND buy flowers… Your quite a catch!”

I shrug my shoulders and say “I don’t know” … To tell you the truth it kind of caught me off guard.

With my ego sufficiently padded I returned to my desk where I proceeded to solve world hunger, cure cancer and eliminate all nuclear weapons from the planet Earth.

ALL IN A DAYS WORK!

Last week it was pretty hot here so I closed up the apartment and turned on the AC… When I returned home from work Monday afternoon I heard Jamie’s voice in my head saying that it ‘smell’s like boy in here’… I bought a couple of those Glade Plug-in’s. I put one in my main room and one in my bedroom… So far I am pretty impressed with the amount of ‘boy’ that they remove.

I will keep you posted.

I have been downloading music like a crazy-man lately… Expect a whats new in Joe’s music post next week.

    I bet the recipient of flowers thinks you’re quite a catch. Your co-worker didn’t even mention your other dashing quality: chugging coronas on camera.

    I guess the second one should be “you’re” … BELIEVE ME, she has already given me shit about that.

    I am pretty sure that Forrest Gump couldn’t spell either! … Is it bad to compare myself to Forrest Gump?

    “And since number one, I wasn’t hungry, but thirsty…and number two, they was free, I musta drank me about fifteen Miller Lites.” – yeah you and Forrest have some commonalities.

    You’re, your, yore…this curly headed guy might not ever overcome his contractions and homonyms. At least he makes up for it in charm.
