While the cat's away, the mouse will play!!!

It is now Sunday morning and instead of writing in my journal, I thought I would write in Jennie's blog since it is hers and off limits. LOL! My Baby Girl and two little buddies have left me this weekend and I'm all alone. They went to Richfield while I stayed home on-call for Traffic and an overtime shift at the mall. It's kind of nice to have the whole house to myself..but I miss 'em. If I ever have to go out of state for another acadamy, I'm screwed. How could you not miss those guys. Plus... Jennie's a stone cold fox!!! (She gonna kill me for this pic but I like it!)

I guess I can finally say that summer is officially over, now that it's October and it rained all weekend. At least I got the lawn mowed. I think we are all done with camping for the year. Not even for hunting! I didn't bother buying any kind of tag because I wasn't sure I'd still be here. Besides...the last one I shot still had milk in it's mouth. ( I have no idea what Jackson is doing!) We haven't gone camping as much this year, but we had fun when we did.

I guess we had better get all our fun in the sun in while it lasts though. This is actually the best time of year to ride horse. Not so hot and you always tend to see more wildlife. Got to give a shout out to my buddy Jed. He took me on my last camp out/ horse ride of the year up in the Uintahs. We had a blast. Didn't get a chance to fish, but we panned for gold like a couple of idiots and I fell in the river TWICE! Once in front of a couple that were hiking as I waved to the trying to be polite. (And it was COLD!!!)

(That's me on Peanut on the right & Jed on Crush on the left. He named her after the American Gladiator. Between our fat a$$es and all the gear we packed on them...those ponies did pretty good. )

I think I had my last, "sleep out," w/ Jackson on the tramp for the year too. I will never do that again. I thought I could stay up late. That kid talked my ear off all night and when he was asleep, he kept pushing me away. Oh well... at least I got to see Jennie do this...

She almost landed it too!

Like I said earlier, home alone this weekend. At least I got to sleep in and didn't have to worry about feeding and dressing kids. She's lucky I'm such a wonerdful husband. I haven't been called out yet this week and hopefully that doesn't change. I did have a funny experiance at the mall last night though. (This is where I start to cuss so if you don't want to read it...STOP HERE! It is funny though.) So I get a retail theft call in Macey's right. Some chick stealing underwear. She's about 20 or so w/ an attitude. So I walk into the security office where she is being held and she says, "What the f@$% do you want?" I tell her why I'm there and grab her DL to run her info and she says, "Whatever Nigger!" Now, I'm caught off guard with that comment. Not because she called me the N word, but because it's the second time I've been called the N word while on duty...and by another chick. Now I have to take a second look at her DL to see if I recall her name and I don't. Then I ask her if she knows me because I'm confused! Why would she call me that unless she knew me and my situation, (being black... but white.) Now she's acting a fool so I'm gonna act a fool and I tell her to chill out and be nice. ( I like to talk to adults like they're little kids.) She stands up and starts looking me up and down like she's about to do something. She's like 5'5" and a buck 5. So I say, "Now look...I know what that look you just gave me means and I'm gonna tell you right now...I may not hit a woman, but I will beat a bitch's ass! Now sit down before I get mad! I'm 6'6", 240 lbs, and BLACK!!!" She looked at me like I was crazy, but...she sat down and didn't say another word and even thanked me for arresting her when we were done. Now that's funny! It gets even better though. Her boyfriend that came to pick her up is a dude I arrested last Christmas at the mall outside the Food Court for fighting. He's Hispanic and called me a, "f*&^%$# whitey," after I laid him out in the parking lot and put my handcuffs on him. He looked at me and shook my hand being very polite and told his girl, "I hope you were cool with him because he's the one that whooped my @$$ last Christmas!" Finally...some respect!!!

Today was cool though. No work. Just rain and relaxation. Went to the Priesthood Session with my good buddy Jeff. I actually left feeling pretty good about myself. I guess I'm doing better at not hating people so much. (I blame my job!) So to keep the spirit, we came back home and watched some MMA & Kimbo Slice get sliced in 14 freakin' seconds by a no-name. Pretty disappointing, but Kimbo seemed pretty upbeat about it. Whatever!

So that's pretty much it for me. I hate to ruin Jennie's blog, but I couldn't resist the urge. By the way...I didn't pick the music on this blog because she took it off. I don't listen to this gay stuff. My music, "makes you feel good, makes you feel alright!" Lets you know your alive! And don't give me any more crap Babe about fantasy football! You say this is your new hobby, well that's my hobby and it only comes around once a year. And when you just called me 20 mins. ago from Richfield...I wasn't sleeping...I was BLOGGING... on your BLOG! WHOOOO!!! Luv u Babe! XOXOXO!!!
