SciFi vs. Sex and My Son The Cat….
Posted by Chuck on 13th January 2005
Glad to see there are a few of you out there looking forward to the Battlestar Galactica series. Ed, I am pissed that you Brits have already been privy to the series before us over here! For some reason that just don’t seem right.
Today was pretty boring. Went on a couple sales calls with a customer and took him to lunch. Came home and worked hard. I talked to my boss today. I have been awarded two customer trips this year. One is for a cruise in the Caribbean and the other is a winter trip to a nice resort in the Canadian Rockies. Usually we are only allowed to go on one a year. Since I have never had the opportunity to go on customer trips before, as my counterparts have, I suggested that we (me and Susan) get to take both this year. He informed me that that was a decent argument and it would be a good possibility that we could take them both. But if it comes down to having to choose one, we will go with the cruise. Never been on one of those before, but I have seen snow and skied a few times. Plus I don’t like Canada all that much, no offense to any Canadians who may be reading….
Tonight, as I was making dinner, my four year old son was crawling around the kitchen floor acting like a cat. At the back door we keep a bag of cat food for Susan’s cat. Her cat has to be given food in her bowl on the sidewalk out back because she won’t come in the garage and eat with the other (T’s) cat. L kept saying, in a high pitched cat’s voice, that he wanted some of the cat food. Well I told him to stick his hand in the bag and get him a piece. With me and Susan looking on he did just that. He took a little kernel and stuck it in his mouth and chewed it up. After he had swallowed he said, “Mmmm, that was good!”, then asked (in the cat voice) for some water. Susan suggested he have a bowl full with some milk but he wasn’t down for that. Guess it wasn’t that good after all. Is it bad that we find joy in watching our child eat cat food? Lord, I hope this doesn’t make me a bad parent. It can’t hurt him, right?
It has now been five days since I have had marital relations with my wife. I was offered the opportunity last night on “hump day”, but I declined. Susan’s “aunt flo” came to visit, and seeing as it was the first day of the visit I didn’t feel inclined (or have the stomach) to accept the invitation. Hopefully by Friday night things will settle down enough to take a trip to pleasure town! If it coincides with the Battlestar Galactica premier tomorrow night I may have to skip………….the sex. LOL Go check out the three trailers here, they are all good but the second and third are the bomb!
A recent commenter on my blog, Bo Snagley, has started a blog. Y’all go say hey, and encourage him to post something other than about how my floors/carpets aren’t clean.
