My Fantasy Football Team

QB- Matt Hasselback
QB- Phillip Rivers
RB- Steven Jackson
RB- Willis McGehee
RB- Thomas Jones
RB- Steven Davis
RB- Duce Staley
WR- T.O.
WR- Mushin Muhammed
WR- Nate Burleson
WR- Braylon Edwards
WR- Eric Moulds
TE- Heath Miller
TE- Joe Klopfenstein
DEF- Bears

Overall, not my best draft. Starters are OK and certainly dominated Mr. Daniel Bubna last week, but we'll see how this one pans out. I've won the whole thing with worse.

Our TiVO schedule

- Lost
- The Office
- My Name Is Earl
- Law and Order
- Law and Order: SVU
- Law and Order: CI
- CSI
- CSI: Miami
- CSI: NY
- Grey's Anatomy
- Desperate Housewives
- Oprah (This season is looking to be the most exciting in years)
- The Chelsea Handler Show
- Vikings Football
- Laguna Beach

That's all I can think of. The sad thing is that this is pretty much the same schedule as last year with the addition of Lost, which we finally caught up on. I think CSI for sure has to go, but what can I add. I don't have the intestinal fortitude to be able to take on 24, so please don't suggest that. Otherwise I'm open to your thoughts. Especially you, Corinne and Erik, seeing as you're the TV experts and us siblings have the same taste for the most part.

Taking Suggestions

I also need suggestions for a new cell phone ringer. My previous ringer was Rockin' the Suberbs by Ben Folds, but my crew at work thought it was too wussy. So I changed it to Mystical's Dangerous. I feel as if this ringer is simply too hardcore. Your input is appreciated.

Tough Guy

In case you didn't see this on Jessie's blog here's Hank. He says he had a abscess on his skull caused by some bug, so they put a tube in his head to drain the puss and ooze. What I think happened is he just got a botched piercing and is afraid to tell us.

And the Obligitory Work Update

Like I said to start this post off, it has slowed down quite a bit. There are actually moments here and there when I'm not at work. I think these moments are oddly enough actually referred to as "Not Working." This "Not Working" thing is really foreign to me, but there are times when it actually feels as if I'm enjoying it. Please let me know if this is normal. The main cause of this phenomenon is the fact that I got myself and Assistant Manager. Boyd is the brother of the guitar player from Johnnyrook. I hired him as a personal favor to Zac and promoted him because he's my friend....Actually that's not true at all. I don't know why you thought it would be.

However, there are still people outwriting my entire store from the Minneapolis location. Consistently.

370

So geez, what a whirlwind. Last night we killed it here in Sioux Falls and made this town proud. I've never seen a store as busy as I saw it last night and today we were the number three store in the whole district. Now that's saying something.

The most important thing though was that today I was alone in the store making all the calls. It was the most fun I've ever had at work in my entire life.

Where Jesus Wept

I'm forcing myself to blog right now.  Not that I don't want to, but as many of you know, after so much has gone on in your life you don't know where to start.  In reality, however, when I think about it I don't have a lot to say that you would truly care about.

This move has been stressful.  All the reasons I've bitched about before are suddenly upon me.  I mean, the store is doing great.  I'm fine on that front- the guys love me, I'm on schedule, I'm bringing this town to its knees- but the move....

We just found a place to rent.  I was driving around SuFu (for some reason Sioux Falls kids call this town SuFu) with my new buddy Josh and said "Hey, wanna see the place we're gonna live in?"  He obliged.  We drove around and all I could remember the house was on the corner and had some sweet gardens.  After slowing down in front of five houses and saying "There it is...wait no...it must be further down" we came to a house that i drove by because the gardens looked way too extravagent to be ours.  Well, after closer inspection this house with the immaculate gardens was ours.  Its amazing.  And the landloard does all the yardwork.  We win.

But we have to rent our house now.  I don't even want to talk about it (unless you want to live there).

Seriously, I'm trying to think of more things that you would care about.  I can't.  Most likely because I don't want to get into it.  That's just the way I am.

For those of you who haven't planned the fall trip out here to SoDak you better get on the bus.  We have spare rooms to spare.

Honestly, we miss you.  Thanks for the support through this whole thing.
