Strategic planning is fun

And by that, I mean we didn't really do any strategic planning as outlined in my last post. New York (state) was basically a trip to keep the boss man company and drink beer. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing, but I'm sure I could have amused myself without flying the fuck up to New York. Weather was really nice, when you consider it's approximately 5,000 degrees here in Louisiana. Monday when we left, it was 73 at noon....freakin' 73. That's October weather for us in case any of you out there don't know that.

So now that my honey is back at work, I'm already plotting on how to get my greedy fingers on some of her earnings to buy my jeep toy/project again. Not sure how to pull that particular act of total bullshit off yet, but working on it.

New Jack City

Not actually the city of New York, but the state anyway. Can we agree to call it New Jack State? Does that movie actually have anything to do with New York? Inquiring minds want to know, and I'm to f-ing lazy to actually look it up. I'm perfectly willing to assume it does....

so, a lot of stuff happening and here is a short update as to my life, and the things that are going well and/or pissing me off today.

• My honey is officially off of her happy pills, and has been for a while. So far, I would rate this a fat zero, neither good nor bad, although I would suggest that it leans toward the bad side. Much more emotional and likely to launch into some sort of aggravation than before. Certainly no hornier, or sexually responsive, so again, fuck it.
• On the good news front, she started back to work today for the first time in a long time. Color me happy. Not sure how this is going to play out financially, but at least she is using her educational and professional background again. I know the kids benefitted from having Mom around, but sometimes it seemed like I paid for a lot of school that then got flushed down the nearest toilet.
• Work is okay, just can't seem to get any projects finished, and now the boss wants the entire executive team (including yours truly) to fly to f-ing New York. Why? Because that's where his lazy ass is. The really fun part is that we get to do it over the weekend, when I could be getting ready for hunting season, or getting some of my personal business taken care of. It's just freakin' aggravating.
• Saints are back baby! 1 - 0 in the preseason. I know a lot of people in the online world have been talking about how good the defense looked. I watched the game, and I'm not sold. We blitzed the shit out of a team that definitely looked like they were not expecting all out blitzes in the 1st preseason game. Offense looked VERY rusty. Hopefully that continues to get knocked off in practice and the remainder of preseason.
• LSU in something like 17 days. Woo!

Later suckers

I'm getting stupid loose (with apologies)

Seriously. It's time to start stretching and getting loose. Football is in the air. Can't you smell it? Seriously, put the air freshener down and take a deep breath. Bask in it!

It's late, and I'm working at home, and I'm tired of it. therefore, I'm taking to my internet therapy BLOG to bitch, moan and possibly even provide a minimal amount of entertainment to the poor suckers who happen upon these aimless meanderings.

So, WTF is up with the Saints? I mean, they've signed something like 26 defensive linemen now, and by my count, and everyone else's as well, they now have approximately 11-dy billion players now. I think I may even have a UDFA contract around here somewhere. I mean, obviously some poor schmucks are getting cut, but they haven't announced it yet. Makes me think somewhere in N.O. there is a hopeful player who isn't answering his cell......

Here by myself, in case anyone was wondering how I was working. Honey is in FL at her parents getting a last visit in before school starts. I'm liking it, but disappointed that she's coming back on Friday and I don't even get any beer drinking time. I guess I'm going to have to get serious about taking Friday and possibly Thursday off. Of course, most of that time will be spent working on resealing our leaking ass front window. It just pisses me off, which makes absolutely no sense because I knew the fucker was leaking when we bought the house. But now, I don't feel like screwing with it, which is really the root of the problem.

Porn. (oh, by the way, my wife and kids are out of town.) That is all I have to say on that topic.

GC #1 is going to be 8 soon, and it freaks me the fuck out. How did she get to be this old already? I remember taking her from the nurses at the hospital to go show her off to her grandparents. It doesn't seem like that long ago. I guess it's just the normal cycle of life, but getting old sucks, and watching her grow up is great but it means I'm that much closer to being dead. That sucks also.
