OUTside

I don't have a lot of outdoor furniture, so I'm not sure I understand the concept of patio furniture covers. Are these covers somehow made to be waterproof, or are they intended for the not-really-outside-but-it-has-a-lot-of-windows-so-I-can-pretend-I'm-outside-kind-of-room? If that is the case then I suggest calling it Florida room furniture. Not much chance of rain in rooms like that. Unless it's like our old house and the Florida room roof is so rotted that the rain literally poured through the ceiling. We didn't put any furniture out there....

Trunk Revision

I honestly don't give much thought to swimwear. I have one pair of trunks that I think look pretty cool and thats about it. Frankly I don't swim much so it isn't much of an issue for me. I'm sure that there are a lot of people that put quite a bit of thought into that sort of thing but I'm not one of them. Maybe if I ever reach all of my fitness goals, then I will care more. I still can't see going anywhere but the trunk route. The other guy options are, well, gross. Well I think I've said about all I care to about this subject.

Straight Cash Homie

I have never been to vegas myself but several of my friends have. I can't imagine that there is a lot around the area over there. How exactly did they manage to create a giant city in the middle of a desert anyway. So I probably won't be on the lookout for Las Vegas travel deals but obviously plenty of people go so there must be a lot to do, besides gambling of course. Talk about expensive vacations. I probably don't even want to know how much money people waste out there.

Flight or Gas?

The age old debate is getting murkier. It's no longer a slam dunk that driving is going to be cheaper than flying. The only issue is that the travel deals that are competitive generally have to be set up pretty far in advance. I have a feeling that driving will still end up being the cheaper method in most cases though because flying also incurs the slightly hidden cost of a car rental. It would be nice if gas could get back to a more reasonable level but I somehow doubt that we will ever see the south side of $2 a gallon again.

Cough-E

I hate coffee. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against coffee drinkers. I just don't like it myself. It is one of the few 'foods' that violates the smell rule. Normally if something smells good, then it tastes good. Well coffee fools you on the first count, because it tastes terrible. You won't find me in line for one of those new instant coffee machines any time soon. Nope I think I'll stick to green tea thank you very much. It's healthy AND it actually tastes good! Whodathunkit?

eeewwww

I'm not a big fan of spiders. It is odd to be grossed out/afraid of something so small in comparison to myself but I think I can track it back to my childhood. When I lived in Arizona, I wasn't allowed outside to play until Mom or Dad could spray for Black Widows first. To a 5 year old, that gave spiders a pretty serious reputation that obviously just stuck in my subconscious. Hopefully I can manage to keep our kids from developing that. Otherwise we will need to invest in spider traps.

Connect The Dots

I really hate acne. I struggled with it a lot when I was in high school to the point that it was one of the main excuses I used to not ask out girls was that there was no point when I looked like I did with all that all over my face. My big fear is that our kids will get it as well. The upside is that there are a lot better treatments for it now. My hope is that they will not have to suffer as I did, and my son will have to come up with all new excuses to not ask out girls instead of just admitting that he is nervous. (Just do it man, the worst they can do is say no, and despite what you think, that isn't really that big of a deal, besides, the more you ask it the better you'll get at asking)
