At the beginning of pool season Ethan was given the title of Assistant Lifeguard by his favorite lifeguard, Trey. He is determined to make certain that everyone is aware of this important position. Today when Doug, the lifeguard supervisor, made his daily stop at our pool he gave Ethan this hat. He told Ethan he is no longer just an assistant. He is a “real” lifeguard!

We’re in trouble now.

Yesterday was a quiet one at the pool.

It would have been a really great day if I didn’t have to deal with the jean shorts wearing power thief.

What better way to spend a day than swimming with your friends? We were so proud of Ashton this weekend. Heading into the water with the big kids and keeping right up.

It was a hazy day since we were still picking up smoke from the the NC fires, but it was a good one.

Nothing beats a day in the water with your best friend.

We had the best weekend at the pool. These two are just so cute together. Their love/hate relationship is a classic. Today went really well because Kaiden did her best job at fully participating in Ethan’s Digimon crap, going as far as insisting we call her Rika. She kept right up with the boys and their constant swimming from one side to the other.

They were especially chummy today which was super nice because Misty and I had a late night last night and were feeling the effects of a very fun night. Adam and I celebrated our anniversary today and last night he got some very special surprises when midnight hit.  He is lucky my best friend likes him. 

Are you as excited as I am? I’d love to go this weekend, but I think the theaters are going to be mad crowded. I guess I’ll have to wait a week.

Nothing bugs me more than the women who stand at the coffee station at 7-11, mixing their coffe in their refill cups (but, of course!) with one hand and shoving creamers into their purses with the other.

It’s not liquid gold, folks. And believe it or not, you can actually buy a entire container of the stuff from the Food Lion for about $2.29. How about that?

The only good part about it is that I can stand their stirring my coffee with one hand, while shooting them “you loser” glances at the same time. Steadily staring them down, watching their uncomfortable squirms once they realize that someone thinks they’re a total thieving cheapskate, and watching them rush to the counter to pay.

However, nothing beats quickly getting behind them in line, and commenting to the check out person about how I can’t believe people have the balls to shove creamer into their purses, while the offender rushes to the exit at record speeds.

Fanny Pack Antics

Great website that focuses on tourists and other people who make themselves painfully obvious with their attire and antics.  Fanny packs are a highlight and the pictures are worthy of a Pulitzer prize if there happened to be a people watching ”shame on you” category.

From the site:

“Adding a giant fanny pack to your khaki suit is just the right touch to prove you’re a tourist out to see Washington D.C. and not actually leaping away from your cubicle.”

“No amount of cutesie Disneyland shit would be able to erase the nightmarish gray-haired mullets or Elvira make-up of the visitors.”

Although this is a fairly new website, I think it has enormous growth potential. Feel free to submit your own photos and comments, and maybe, just maybe, your fabulously pathetic people shots will be included.

Adam wanted nachos last night so he went to the corner bar to pick up an order to go. The nachos at this place are HUGE and cheap. $7.50 and that’s one of those tin roasting pans that they’re in. The only thing that concerns me is the amount of sour cream. I understand asking for extra sour cream but c’mon!
