Fall (Dead Leaves Fall)

I love dead leaves in the fall. I love them on the trees, I love them when they are falling, I love them when they have fallen and they cover the whole yard, I think it is the coolest. I don’t want to rake them up, I want them to just be everywhere. I love fall!

I like to say it is because I love all of God’s creation and all its cycles, but Ashley thinks it is because I am morbid and lazy.

Ashley is probably right.

Here is a little more colorful picture of the same thing -for those (Ashley)- who think I am morbid.

I call this one:

Life or Death

NOTE: I prefer the dead leaves to the rose.

Wedding News: Engagement Pics

November 20, 2009 by kevinthecoolguy

Ashley and I got a couple CDs full of our engagement pictures we took at Berry College last month yesterday. They are all really good, Mandi, our photographer is awesome.

Ashley got some printed out and brought them over to put in some of the frames we have been getting at our showers. She was in the bedroom and she called to me to come help her pick which one would look good in the frame. They were all spread out over the bedspread.

I looked around for a minute and picked one.

“That’s not us,” she said, “that is the picture that came out of the frame.”

“Really? I thought I might have looked too good, but I thought maybe it was a photoshop thing she did.”

“He doesn’t have a beard…”

“Hmmm, really?” I said picking up the picture.  “I look good without a beard.”

Today I came home for lunch; I thought I would just eat something out of the fridge.

When I looked in the fridge all I saw was a leftover Olive Garden salad, my Brita water jug, and a jar of spicy pickled okra.

Not exactly was I was hoping for.

So I looked in my freezer thinking it would be better.

It too was barren but for the freezer burned box of corndogs. Starving, I did what anyone would do in this situation.

I made an Italian Corndog Salad with a side of Spicy Pickled Okra.

Delicious.

Public Service Announcement: Before you eat this delicious Italian Corndog Salad with a side of Spicy Pickled Okra yourself, you might should look at THIS.

(I know, I know, but it’s worth it!)

NOTE: This might just be funny to my Chattanooga people, but I’ll try to make it funny for all of you.

There is this furniture store here in Chattanooga called Totten Discount Furniture. It’s a family owned business and it has been around forever.   Their motto is “Totten Discount Furniture… where you buy the furniture and not the Totten-picking building.”

It’s in all their print ads, on the radio, they end every tv commercial with it, it’s even on their building, it’s kind of their thing.

“Totten Discount Furniture… where you buy the furniture and not the Totten-picking building.”

Well, today I passed by, and guess what…

The building is for sale.

And it is only $549,000 if you are interested.

Seriously, $549,000. I know, seems steep, but I hear it comes fully furnished.

Interested in buying??? Click HERE.  It’s Regent Properties realtor Tad Bromfield’s website.  Go down about halfway and BOOM! there it is. You’rrrrrrrrreee welcome!

BONUS Photo of the Day

I was reading the UTC newspaper (The Echo) today and I saw this article on the front page about “The Freshman 15″. It talked all about obesity at the school and in Tennessee in general and the common occurrence of freshman gaining 15 pounds their first year of college.

My favorite part of the article is that little note at the bottom…

“See OBESE page 8″

The article was continued on another page because the article was “too obese” to fit all on one page.

And that is Irony.

You may still be fat, freshman, but at least you are learning something!

How bad does your dad have to smell before your mom does this*?

*Normally I don’t like to point things out like this, but the photo was not of the best quality so I thought I would just this once.

That is an outhouse by the way. A port-a-potty. A… ahhh nevermind.

There’s this house down the road that has been doing a little renovation off the back of their house for about a month. The company doing the work has a sign out in the yard by the street. For about 29 of the 30 days the sign has been leaning at all kinds of angles like this:

I’m sure they’re great people, but if it was my house I’d be starting to get nervous about the room they are adding onto the kitchen.

Wedding Update: Tux Fitting and The Shower Corsage

November 17, 2009 by kevinthecoolguy

On Saturday my future father-in-law, Bruce, and I went to the Men’s Wearhouse to get fitted for our tuxes.

He started playing ping pong with the guy that worked there while I was talking to the tux girl.

As soon as we sat down and she pulled out her giant notebook I pointed at the picture on the cover and said, “I want that.”

The girl working there said, “That tux?”

I said, “That tux, that shirt, that tie, that everything, I want that.”

“Uhh, okay,” she said as she, out of habit I guess, kept showing me more pictures.

“No, seriously, that is exactly what I want, I have already looked. That’s it.”

“Oh, okay, great. Do you know what size?”

“Well, I wear a Medium in a sweat suit so, you know, Medium, I guess.”

“Uhh, okay… do you know what size your father-in-law wears?”

“Hey, Mr Bruce, what size tux do you need?” I called over to him.

“4 to 1,” he said, I guess assuming I had asked him what the score was.

“I think we better measure you both,” the girl said.

“Uh-oh, I remember this from Friends,” I said, but she didn’t laugh. She wasn’t much into comedy I guess.

Click HERE to see a preview of us in our tuxes!

On Sunday Ashley let me open a couple of gifts her parents had brought home from church.

It was just like my own special man shower with my own week old corsage and everything!

Mr. Bruce served as my maid of honor and dutifully wrote down who got us what. Overall it was a great weekend, we only spent 7 hours trying to figure out how to print the invitations*.

*More to come on this later, I’m trying to figure out how to tell that story without using cuss words.

Today Ashley and I, for the 15th time, tried to print our invitations. It has turned out to be the hardest convenient thing we have ever been a part of. Her dad finally figured out how to print on apparently the most oddly shaped piece of paper in the history of the world that is our invitation.

While he was doing that Ashley was helping her mom grade Spelling Tests. I’m not trying to judge, I know those kids are just in first grade, but their tests were ridiculous.

My favorite part is that they had “Bonus Words” they could spell and get extra credit. The Bonus Words on this particular test are the two words listed under “Bons Wor”…

15nov2009- Spleling Test

-

“Bons Wor”????

Although I guess I shouldn’t be too tough on them, the girl grading the test is worse at math than they are at spelling.

13/12??? What kind of grade is that???

Good job, Billy, you got a 13-12ths!

Eeehh, at least she didn’t write “Grate Job! I’m so Prowd of YOU!”
