Where have you gone Mr. Wilks?

I'm here, just busy...

It's been quite a while since I wrote a blog I know, and I am sorry. I've just had a lot going on lately. A lot of it involves work and some of it is a personal thing.

Can I go home now?
For the past 3 weeks, I have been absolutely killing myself with work. I'm not just talking a couple hours of overtime, I'm talking the kind of O.T. where you think about bringing a pillow, a blanket, and some toiletries to the office so you can take a nap break from working. I've worked so much that at times when I look at the computer screen, I'll see triple of what is in front of me and then I know that it's time for one of the nap breaks.

RIP Josephine Gorab
Another reason I have been scarce was the passing of my grandmother in law a little over a week ago. I am related to her through my marriage and while the marriage was severed, my personal relationship with her never did. She liked me from day one and will always hold a special place in my heart. I had to go to the funeral to say good bye and to say I was sorry for not being a better husband to her grand-daughter, and to thank her for the love she showed me regardless.

She lived a long life and fought a good fight. She was in her early 80's when she passed and I will miss her dearly.

RIP Naunie.

Memories... Of the B.S. I have done.

Once again I have been tagged for something and only because I truly love this person (Imogen's Mom) am I even considering doing this one... I will say though, it was fun digging through past posts. Enjoy.

Archive Meme Instructions: Go back through your archives and post the links to your five favorite blog posts that you’ve written...but there is a catch:

Link 1 must be about family.
Link 2 must be about friends.
Link 3 must be about yourself, who you are, what you’re all about.
Link 4 must be about something you love.
Link 5 can be anything you choose.

It's a great way to circulate some of the great older posts everyone has written, return to a few great places in our memories and also learn a little something about ourselves and each other that we may not know. Post your five links and then tag five other people. At least TWO of the people you tag must be newer acquaintances so that you get to know each other better...and don’t forget to read the archive posts and leave comments!

1. My family post. Sometimes kids say the funniest things. This time was no exception and is still by far the funniest thing that has probably ever happened to my sister.

2. My friends post. There were so many to choose from because I have some wonderful friends. I chose this because we still have the ball sitting in the back yard.

3. My ME post. It's all about me. It's really is just a small sampling of the things I have figured out about myself.

4. The thing that I love, But I don't get to do that often. It's actually a series of things. I will link to the first post, and if you so decide, you can read the follow up posts.

5. And finally my random one. It really is random. I just closed my eyes, hit the mouse button a couple of times, pointed it at something, and the post that was the closest won.

I hereby tag the following....TAB, Steph, Ginormous Boobs, DRB, and Catherinette. And if I didn't tag you and feel compelled, go right ahead. I won't stop you.

Jeff Dunham and Sweet Daddy

This is freaking HILARIOUS!!

I'm such a dork

Sip. Step. Step. Sip. Step. Step. Sip. Step. Step.

Yesterday, I did one of my spontaneous actions that got a slight laugh out of my co-workers.

I had just made a cup of JP Mocha (hot chocolate and coffee) and was walking towards my desk. Since I filled the cup to the brim, and I didn't want it spilling. I would take 2 steps, stop, and then take a sip. I then followed with 2 more steps, stopping, and taking a sip. I did this whole routine through 6 sips.

After my 2 sip, I just so happened to walk past a co-workers desk and he was noticing my routine. This is the conversation that followed.

Co-Worker: That coffee must be amazing! You can't go 2 steps without taking a sip.

No: Actually, the coffee is ok. I just wanted to show you that I have My Drink N My Two Step. Now I'm gonna go home, get the Patron, and tell em it's on.

Gawd, I can be such a dork sometimes......

I like to make sure it's tight when I put it in

It'll loosen up as you work it.

I won't stick it in, unless I bag it first.

He was just hammering away.

Those were just a couple of the many things we said as we were taking down Recon Man's tent the other day. It's amazing how some phrases can be taken in the wrong way.....

You didn't think we were talking about sex were you?
