I did something dumb today. I had a free coffee roll up the rim thing so I wanted to get one this on my lunch. I don’t really like coffee all that much but I figure I can win something since my luck has been pretty good on those lately. I won a free donut and 3 free coffees this week alone so 4/5 times isn’t too shabby.

I took the motorbike today and I had to carry it my backback so I tell her to refill my thermos. I get to work all excited to roll up the rim and I have this metal thermos in my hand. Crap! I should have grabbed my empty cup there. That could have been a new car.

1 more month !

I had an idiot moment at Subway today. I ordered a meatball sub and the woman asked me what I wanted on it.
“A few hot peppers, some red onion, some lettuce and tomato.”
I look away for a second because the guy next to her at the cash asked me what I ordered. I guess he was getting ready for me to pay. This was odd because she didn’t even start building the thing yet.
I told him, “A 12 inch meatball”.
“Anything to drink with that?” he responds.
“No, nothing.” I said.
I looked back at my sub and it had onions, peppers and mayo. Gross! Who puts that on a meatball sub?
I said “Sorry, I asked for lettuce and tomato, not mayo.”
She looks all confused, “Oh, sorry I…” she hands it off to the guy, I figured he was going to get me another one from scratch or something.
“That’s ok, you can just scrape it off.” I said.
“You sure?” he asks.
He gives it back to the woman and she puts it back down on the counter.
“What else did you want on it?” she asked.
I said “Sorry, I thought you were going to throw it out, I said you can just scrape off the mayo instead, it doesn’t matter.” She started scraping it off and when it was mayo free she asked, “What else did you want on it?”
“L-E-T-T-U-C-E and T-O-M-O-A-T-O”. I was starting to get annoyed.
When that was done the guy asks me again “Anything to drink with that?”
“No!”

What the hell ?!? It wasn’t even busy.

I personally find the idea of Black History Month offensive. Aren’t we supposed to be equal? What about all other races we aren’t recognizing? I don’t think there are enough months out of the year to spread the joy required.

I married a little artist, here’s our baby room wall:

I did my own front disc brakes yesterday. Canadian Tire wanted like $500 to replace the rotors and pads so I went to Canadian Auto Parts and bought the 4 pads and 2 rotors for $90. I took a class once but youtube.com was the best help. I changed them with no troubles – they work. I told my boss the day before to say I might call in the next day with an odd excuse why I couldn’t come in to work but I showed up on time.

A couple of things to say about McDonalds:
Since when do they stop giving you ketchup with your order at the Drive-thru? Did people stop putting ketchup on their fries in 2009? This isn’t just McDonalds I’ve noticed. You have to ask. Otherwise you get to the office and you’re eating everything plain.

I also got those coupons in the mail, do you remember the buy a sandwich, get the same sandwich free? Now it’s buy a sandwich, with fries, with pop and get the same sandwich free. After I eat a whole meal who wants to eat a 2nd Big Mac? Am I supposed to go with someone and have them watch me consume my fries and drink while they eat the burger?

I used the coupon today because I was in a bind and got the 6 piece nuggets free. I got to the office and they didn’t give me any dipping sauce. Normally they ask or at least give you sweet and sour by default but I had nothing. I guess they don’t give you anything unless you ask now or something?

Hey, this weekend I finally felt the baby move after 5 months in da belly. It wasn’t a poke or anything like I expected, it felt like he was turning over a lot. Pretty bizare.

Still thinking of names, she likes Liam and I’m leaning toward Marcus. Any votes or suggestions? Leave a note in the tool above.
