Okay, so maybe not all that typical of a day...but at least I was having a better time than the day before.

The Keeping My Cool Friday Shuffle
Yesterday I got pretty upset at work. It's not one of my proudest moments and while I don't think my job will be in jeopardy because of it, it's something I don't want to repeat anytime soon. Lord, get me off of this project! So, here to mellow me out, let me introduce Fred: Um, Fred? You're on...
1. "Take a Chance on Me", by ABBA
2. "Oh! Darling", by the Beattles
3. "Coastal Confessions", by Mr. Mellow himself, Jimmy Buffett
4. "Cat's in the Cradle", by Harry Chapin My pre-fatherhood thoughts on this song were incredulous - how could a dad do that?! My current thoughts are panic ridden - oh crap, am I doing that?!
5. "For Lovin' Me", by Peter, Paul, & Mary. I never really listened to the lyrics before...not nice, you guys.
6. "On a Day Like Today", by Bryan Adams
7. "I've Got To Use My Imagination", by Gladys & the Pips.
8. "Same in Any Language", by Ruckus
9. "Help Me Mary", by Liz Phair - hmmmm, okay, Fred, this song is not helping.
10. "How Can You Live in the NorthEast", by Paul Simon
Happy Leap Year Everyone & Have a Great Weekend!

Say What?
This morning, we were all getting ready for the day and Mrs. Pheasantly was playing with son # 1 in the kitchen. She was speaking really silly and getting our son to laugh when he turned to her and said, "Mommy, talk nor-bul-ly, please".
So, do any of you happen to speak Norbul? Would you know if it is a romance language?

Musically Challenged
I can’t sing,
I can’t dance,
The only thing about me is the way Iwalk blog
Yes, it's true. I can’t sing and yet I seem to insist on it, particularly when alcohol is involved, and Sunday night was no exception when we had friends over to sing Karaoke on Wii. While I should know better, I do it anyways – kind of like the house cat who comes tearing ‘round the corner at breakneck speed only to careen into the closed sliding glass door, something the cat has done countless times before.
I like to sing at the office. It’s a quiet office and sometimes, when it’s too quiet, I feel the need to sing…loudly. Back to the cat analogy: it’s as if the not-so-bright house cat is taking a dozen other unwilling cats with him for the trip into the glass door. Oh, what fun is had by all.
As I’ve said, I sing poorly when I don’t have alcohol as an aide, but once I’ve downed 3 margaritas (as was the case Sunday night) well, now we’re talking. Okay, I still sing poorly, but now I do so with a slur.
And while I bastardized the musical selections Sunday night, there were two exceptions: “Time After Time”, by Cindy Lauper and “We’re Not Gonna Take It”, by Twisted Sister. Wow. I’m not sure if I am pleased of myself or if I am horrified.
What do y’all think?

Apparently...
$4550.00The Cadaver Calculator - Find out how much your body is worth.
Basically my shell of a body is equivelant to a used Honda Civic. And depending upon the day that you ask her, my wife may opt for the latter.
SOOOOO, how much is YOUR body worth? Be sure to let me know in my comments.
Thanks Eric for turning me onto Just Say Hi

Holy Mother of All Things Sacred
I AM TIRED!
Child # 2, who is 4 months old, and who "graduated" to sleeping in his own room 9 days ago, still hasn't quite gotten the hang of a sleeping routine, a.k.a NO ONE ELSE IN THE FAMILY GETS TO SLEEP EITHER!
It first seemed that he went to sleep at 8, awoke at 11, and then again at 5. Then he got into a routine of sleeping from 8 to 1, then up for a feeding, and back down until 6. Now the little bugger has apparently combined both into one! Last night he was up around at 11:30, at which point we tried to let him "cry it out" as we were sticking to his schedule. Well, at 12:45 his big brother called from his room very annoyed that he couldn't sleep because the baby was crying. Well, yeah. So wifey fed him and put him back down. He awoke again at 4 and we let him "cry it out" which took about 45 minutes, all the while hoping that he wouldn't wake his big brother. He woke up again around 6:30, at which point wifey brought him into bed for their "wake up together slowly time", aka she gets to cat nap for an hour or so. Did I mention that 6:30 is when son # 1's internal alarm clock goes off like clock work telling him it's breakfast time?!
So, how did you sleep last night?
