Off-Street Parking

When they say off-street parking, I’m not sure this is what they have in mind:

I saw this in the morning as Simon and I were leaving to work at the ***warehouse sale|http://www.christianbook.com/html/cms/general/company_events.html***. But I didn’t have time to stop, so I called Becky up on the phone to ask if she could come out and take it when she had a chance. My sick but brave wife was good enough to go outside and snap some pics of this fabulous parking job. The truck is actually parked in a guest parking space in our apartment building’s parking lot… unfortunately, the guest spaces are half-covered with snowpiles, so this person did some, shall we say, creative parking.

Hee hee.

Send her some love

My dear wife is home sick for the third day in a row today. She has a pretty awful respiratory bug that has had her up coughing every night, and feeling crummy during the day. She finally got a decent night’s sleep last night after I got her some NyQuil, but she’s still feeling pretty rotten.

Won’t you be kind and send her some well-wishes? I’ve disabled commenting on this post, so please drop her an email or an IM directly. If you don’t know her address or screen name, you can find that information on the ***Contact Us|http://prwdot.org/contact.html*** page linked from the top left corner of ***our site|http://prwdot.org/***.

New Jersey Pork Chop

This is the pork chop that I had for dinner tonight:

Becky and I thought that it looked like New Jersey. I’d sell it on eBay, except I’ve already eaten it. It was delicious. The recipe: put frozen pork chops in slow cooker. Cover with italian dressing. Cook on low for eight hours. Yum.

Boxy

***Art|http://kizoku.blogspot.com/*** just got back from a ***trip to Peru|http://kizoku.blogspot.com/2005/02/lessons-learned-in-last-216-hours.html***. He brought the folks at work some nifty little boxes. They are carved from some sort of nut. Here’s mine:

Flippin’ Sweet Pics

Tonight Becky and I hosted a small but fun Napoleon Dynamite viewing party at our apartment. One of the highlights was the taking of Glamour Shot photos. All of the photos from tonight, including the Glamour Shots, can be found ***here|http://gallery.prwdot.org/nd_party***.

I captionated the photos in the gallery… enjoy!

My (Self-Assigned) Title

Chief Purchaser Of Unnecessary But Nonetheless Yummy Grocery Items

I think that the proclivity that caused me to assume this title is something that I picked up after 20 years of living with the King POUBNYGI, my father (Mom, I am sure you can chime in with some examples…). Becky is usually far too sensible, health-conscious, and thrifty to make such purchases herself, so the extremely difficult task usually “falls” to me.

Tonight I picked up a bag of “Hint of Lime” Tostitos, a package of AriZona diet iced tea mix, and two half-gallons of Edy’s ice cream. (Side note: at Stop and Shop, there is almost always at least one brand of ice cream that is on sale. This time it was buy-one-get-one-free for Edy’s ice cream.)

A POUBNYGI’s job is never done.
