Your blogs and other happenings

Ah Monday. Another week, another blog. And a little bit more of what I have been thinking...

Last night was weird. As y'all know Krista went to go visit her parents this weekend and so I was stag all weekend. Sunday after church I grabbed a meal at the Christensen's casa which is always delightful because Cynthia can cook. After lunch I headed home to watch Tiger win his fifth straight golf tournament and catch up on some rest. The best Sunday afternoon naps are brought on by golf tournaments. I also found some time to crunch a few more numbers for pending Fantasy Football draft that was to take place at 8:00 that very night. Around five Krista called to say she was on her way back to me (music to my ears) but that she is going to have to meet me at our friends house that the draft was to be held, which is in NW Austin. She said a few things about being tired and stressed and wishing she didn't have to drive to NW Austin and back that night and then back there in the morning for school. So, being the loving husband I am offered to call our friends (Joey and Beth LoSurdo) and ask if it was cool to spend the night at their place...Quickly after posing the idea a thought I'm an idiot. Of course Krista jumped all over that idea and asked me to give Joey a call. After hanging up with Krista I just stood there thinking thru what just happened. You see I have a personal rule about such happenings. My rule is I won't let me and Krista spend the night at a friends house when they live in the same town as me and Krista. The reason for this rule is because spending the night at a friend's house is cool when you are in jr. high or even high school. But when you are married and have a place to your own it is just weird. Especially when you live in the same town. Like if someone was coming from out town to visit I would think sure you can stay here with us. But if they live here in Austin, if their address is something something something Austin Texas, then that is just weird. At least that is how I feel. Feel free to comment.

Anyway, we ended up spending the night there and it was fine and they are great and I drafted an awesome fantasy team and Krista was happy so all was good. But I still feel weird. I broke my own rule and that is never something you want to do. Oh, well...maybe the weirdness will fade as the day goes on.

On another note, I read up on all of your blogs this morning and it was quite enjoyable. I have to say Jonathan's is by far the weirdest and that the Franklin kids can write some amazingly long blogs. I wonder if they get school credit for doing that? Just a thought. All in all though I was impressed and a little embarrassed at the lack of cool things on my blog. All you really get with me is words. With Colin you get music and videos and awesome links and pictures, that guy made my blog look dumb. And it hurt me. Hey Colin, help a brother out and make me look cooler than I obviously am. Please. I'm dying here.

So to sum up, I feel weird and not so cool. What a Monday. At least I have a sweet Fantasy Football team and cool kids in my youth group. Maybe I can just settle for being cool by association today...

Catch you cool cats later,

Jake
