Oh, I'm Out There Jerry

Another dream...

Walking to the front door of his mansion, I was muttering to myself: this will be the last time I do anything for that smug, condescending, unappreciative, little man Jerry Seinfeld!!! I had psyched myself up enough to tell the man off, once and for all. I won’t be your errand boy anymore, Jerry!!!

Knocking on the front door of his house, Ms. Elaine Benes (his anti-nuptial lover) answered the door and followed me to their bedroom.

Jerry was just putting on the finishing touches on another errand list as I came in. That really steamed me! Handing me the list I read it over... it was a short list with 3-4 items.

Line 3 read: Pickup Southwest Rapid Rewards cards for Jeff and Thaxter Price

Jerry, you idiot!!! I already have a rapid rewards card!!!

Realizing there was more to this, it occurred to me that you have to buy a ticket to get a rewards card... that means that... oh no! He already bought me a plane ticket! I've been beholden to him again... and he knew it.

That Jerry's a sneaky guy I tell you!!!

Snow White

Chantell and I have been on an extended baby-sitting adventure. We've been watching our little cousins... Miranda (5) and Adriana (2) while their parents are on vacation.

The other night, Adriana was in her Snow White pajamas and was excited pointing out each of the 7 Doe-waffs.

Ain't she cute!?!

Eat Your Heart out Spiderman

I couldn't help but pass on this cool website explaining the gekkomat, a device that allows humans to scale walls.

Chalk this one up on my birthday wish list.

Sharon's No Gouda

Submitted by Alice Price (Mom):

"I had a dream that Sharon Stone played the title role in the movie, Who Moved My Cheese?. She was the cheese.

Six Degrees of Colby Donaldson

Chantell has a friend that she met here in Houston, who has a friend from college (now married), that dated Colby Donaldson (of Survivor-II fame).

Perhaps not as interesting, but curious the same is that Colby graduated from Texas Tech in business. I probably saw him and didn't even know it.

Pork Belly

Allegedly, the other night while I was asleep... I awoke Chan with a series of violent snorts. From her vivid accounts of the incident "very much like a pig."

I told her that I had a dream of her drowning and I couldn't get to her to save her.

Not at all touched by my pensive chivalry, she asserted "Oh. I thought you were being led to the slaughter!"

Ouch...

Two Tea or Not To Tea

Submitted by Chantell Price

My husband is always quick to post every mishap, dream, or embarrassing moment. I'd say it's about time I had some ammo of my own.

Last Christmas, my mother, gave us each a box of herbal tea in our stockings.

Recently, Jeff took one of the boxes to the office. He enjoys drinking hot tea, from time to time, as opposed to coffee.

Upon arriving at work, he removed the box of tea-bags from his briefcase and went to warm up some water.

Returning to the office (mug in-hand), he reached for the tea only to realize he brought the PMS tea my mother gave me for Christmas.

Now, my husband is not one of those macho-insensitive-men... but there's just some things he can't bring himself to swallow. PMS tea, apparently, is one of those things.
