My job is ending. This frees up a great deal of time. Any ideas on how to fill this time?

I’ve already come up with the following:

1) Dog track
2) Park Jungle Gyms
3) Candle making (scented and unscented)
4) Roller Skating Rinks
5) Trying to jump over the 4-foot metal railing that surrounds my porch.
6) Popcorn
7) Making kiwi syrup.
8) Courthouse
9) Trying on fancy suits until I get hired.
10) Making sense of the cross-out button that lets you do this: bananas
Why would you need/want to say write that?

It’s back. Kent and I are hosting the hottest weekend in Atlanta (and the mountains). Super spectacular party and all-day tubing fun on the Toccoa River. We’re going to make the early trip this year. I just know it.

Everyone is invited to come and stay with us.

I’m taking a vote for what weekend in August works best for everyone:
August 11
August 18
August 25
or September 1 (which is Labor Day weekend)

You want to be one of these happy people:

I can’t believe Jamie killed off Raja. That’s like Charles Schulz killing off Snoopy. What gives, Showboat?

Don’t let anyone ever tell you that you have to be smart to play professional football.
First off, there’s Joe Theisman, who famously once said, “Jim Haslet should be the coach of the year.” (Funny, I don’t remember Jimmy actually ever coaching. There was no one better at standing on the sidelines trying to act disappointed, though.)
But, if you need further proof of what kind of mental fortitude it takes to make in the NFL, take this test. It’s a sample of the Wonderlic test given to players entering the NFL Draft. It’s also used by large companies to assess an applicant’s metal abilities.

Former Ravens linebacker Roderick Green’s score of 3 is reportedly the lowest score ever. Auburn cornerback David Irons and Weber State safety Bo Smith recorded 4’s this year.
I’m way smarter than all three of those guys and even smarter than Dan Marino. Take the test and see if you’re smarter than them, too.
(It should be mentioned that David Irons, in his defense, has been diagnosed with a learning disability.)

I tried to upgrade my account with my webhost to get more server space and they canceled me instead. They are in the process of restoring my site now. It looks like I will lose about two weeks worth of content based on what it looks like right now.

Needless to say, I’m a little angry that I tried to pay them MORE money, and ended up losing my site. I hope I don’t have to take my business elsewhere, because up until now, hostgator has been a great webhost.

Update:

After being promised on Friday that the site could be restored, now they tell me that they cannot. HostGator is not doing right by me.

When your better half tells you that the snip won’t be that bad and it’s only minor surgery, don’t believe her. Good grief.

There should be a show called “Dealio or No Dealio” with what’s-his-name as the host and instead of the bank it would be the repo man offering to give their furniture back.

*hiccup*

Doesn’t Kent look like Chandler from Friends? Kent, will you start mimicking Chandler’s stupid mannerism? That would be fun.

Hello Everyone,

If you were at the parade with us on Monday night during Mardi Gras then please send your email address to me so I can send out a few pics. My email address is mitch@mitchellsoileau.com.

I had a great time. Sorry I couldn’t stay out too late. I just got back from New Orleans last night. Thank you,Marnie and Brent, for the accomodations at such short notice.

It was great to see all of you in New Olreans. Now come visit us in Austin for a Rebecca show!
