So, yeah, Marriage

Well, as most of you know by now. I have been married for just over three weeks. Yahoo!!! I am loving it. I now have two of the best boys, a terrific wife, and a perfect little dog as a part of my family. Well, wouldn't you know it. Now that I am married, my gorgeous wife has asked (demanded) that I work on my blog again. So if anyone out there was hoping that I was retired from the blogging world, I am sure you are now extremely disappointed.

So to catch y'all up on what has happened. Well, yeah, I got married. and um, well, that is about it. To be truthful a ton has happened and I really don't want to spend all day inside to catch you up on it. So I am sticking with the first story I gave that nothing has happened. But I am going to try and do one thing for you all.

I have a ton of ties and there is a story with all of them. So I thought I would go over my collection, but not on this blog, I am going to make another one. lol, yeah, I know another. Well, this is all for this one, so have a great day. and wish me a happy marriage next time I see you.

Pet Store Visit

Today has been the perfect day to work outdoors. I cant believe this weather, 80 degrees and it is going to stay that way till Friday. It is days like this that make my job so much fun. Can anyone tell I just finished watching the weather?

Today, I have been trying to catch up on the little things. I have paid most bills, cleaned the car, looked at the kayak (I thought about finishing it), and picked up some dog food. Out of all that, I think the only interesting part was when Kayia and I went to PetsMart to get the dog food. Once threw the doors Kyia spent her time trying to run everywhere, lucky for me she had her collar on and she was just running in place. After she had told every dog in the place (there were about four) that she had arrived. We picked up the Science Diet, small bites, dog food. I then headed to the door when she started taking time to mark her territory. As soon as I had cleaned up the last mess she made another one. They really need to clean up the dog mess in there. I am afraid that once one dog smells the territory of another, it just keeps going. what should you learn from this little story. Never purchase anything from a pet store that in located on the bottom shelf.

Shame on you!!!

Those are the words I just heard my mother yell as she was just about to take a shower. As a direct result, I have one of those smiles on my face that just won't go away. The payback all starter a few days ago.

It was evening and I wanted to take a shower. My mom said that she needed to take a "quick" shower, so being the incredibly wonderful son that I am, I told her that she could go first. After a long time (I mean she took forever) I finally had my chance to get in the shower. That is when I found out that she had washed her hair! There was no hot water left. How was I suppose to take a shower in such cold circumstances? Now for those of you that have ever taken a cold shower (when you don't have a choice) before, consider my situation. I was left with no option. I was standing there in that cold water, wiping away the ice as it would form on my body. The only thing that would have helped my situation would have been a dry suit. Well, revenge was needed.

This evening, I had the opportunity to let her take a "quick" shower before me again. Oh, I am a fast learner. There was no way I was going to let her take away all the warm water again, plus now was my chance to get the revenge. As soon as my shower was over, I turned the water to freezing cold and let it run a little. Then I turned off the water and rotated the dial to look like it was set to warm. After I had pushed the shower curtain to the correct side, I rotated the shower head to face the shower entry. The exact position can be hard to measure, because you have to guess exactly where the target will stand when they turn on the knob. I think I did an exceptional job with that part.

After I had set the trap, I sat in the kitchen eating some Tuna Melt so that I could be right next to the bathroom and hopefully I would hear a gurgled scream. When the moment finally arrived. I was just about to take a bit of food when I heard the "Kary William Gedge, shame on you!!!" I could not stop laughing. I had just got my revenge. Haha, what a great way to end a day.

Teaching Mary how to Date

I am going to take a wild guess and assume that everyone reading my blog is intelligent (funny how when I ran a spell check on this thing I spelt that word wrong) enough to know what happened today, and the possible repercussions from it. Yeah, that is right, I am talking about the Stock Market and the Bail Out. I have a few personal opinions on this, but I am not one of those political bloggers. So my point to all this? I am currently working for the Utah County Assessors office.

When I go inspect a commercial, I run into all sorts of people. Some act as if they are really happy to see me, and others, well there are always others. Alright, let me tell you how this economy's continual nose dive is effecting me. When I run into the latter group, it feels like they have been waiting years for someone to come along who they can complain to. So you could say that I get to listen to all the complaints about the economy almost every day. The strange thing is that these complains don't just come from the old people. Sometimes the young business owners are the worst. Many of them feel like they know everything about taxes and they are trying to hide something. I even found a small group of buildings on one parcel. Lucky for me I was able to get them all measured before the property owner noticed what I was doing. He was one of those whom weren't to happy to see me.

Enough about my job. When I arrived home this evening, Mary came to me and began asking all these questions about dating. Well, I don't know that much about dating, but she kept asking me the questions. So, my idea was to see her in action. I took Mary to Home Depot and Walmart with me. She was not so happy about it, but I would have her ask the associates all the questions for me. For example, I needed some paint for my kayak. So she sort of meandered on over to the guy, hands in her pockets with her elbows swaying back and forth. shoulders sagging as if she was trying to lug a five pound bucket of paint. Her back was slouched while her feet kept moving in circles. Once she reached the old man she asked him, in a voice that was as timid as I had ever heard, for some paint, then looked over at me with this half smile. That was the first attempt. After talking to her about what she did, we walked over to the garage door area. Once there I needed an Associate in order to answer some questions. I asked Mary to go get some help.

Kyia and I followed behind her in order to see what she had learned. And that is when I saw it. She had just met someone who was shy, I don't just mean shy, this guy had me wondering how he had a job at a retail store. You could tell he was trying to follow all the rules of having confidence but anyone could tell he was trying to hard. After we figured out how shy the guy was and how little he knew about garage door openers, a smart guy came walking over. And there I had it, I good and a bad example for Mary to see exactly the difference. The perfect part was that the one with the confidence, at first appearance, was worse looking than the other guy. So there you have it, I was able to give my little sister a small lesson on dating. I hope that someone else will take over from here for me. I don't know if she picked up any of my advice. You should have seen how quickly how jumped out of my car. It was as if I was keeping her hostage.

There you have it, that just about sums up my day. Eventually I tried to build a tree house and after I had cut down a few branches and placed the main frame in the tree, I noticed that the Catalpa tree and the Walnut tree needed to change places for my plan to work. No I didn't cut down the two trees, but I am trying to find a solution. Please no one tell my mother.
