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.
..or the McNugget eating ability!
Not to mention that you are the most rockin’ uncle in the whole wide world who neices worship the ground he walks on. KC – he is great with kids too!!!
Hagen men are stellar!!!
Okay, I’ll be the dick to say it 🙂 Stellar, maybe, but a speller he’s not!
“reply’s”?
continuing refusal to utilize contractions – you + are = your? Casey, fix this!!! 🙂
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.
so when will you be moving to DC??? Just Curious….
hagen men are…*cough* something…that’s for sure. ha. just keepin’ it real folks. keepin’ it real.
No….when is KC moving here?!!
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.
