Stream of unconsciousness

Man I'm glad for spell check it makes me so much more intelligent sounding.  I mean I just had to spell check intelligent for Pete's sake.
Does anybody want a dog?  I'll even through in a nice blue leash!  Angus woke us up last night at 2:00 AM to let us know that there was a skunk in the near vicinity.  You would think that the smell of a surprised skunk would have been enough to wake us up but, No... the smell and the barking however closely related made for a fine method of getting our attention.  Funny thing though, it only smelled of skunk in our downstairs hall and our automobiles.  The dog seems quite fresh smelling... as far as dogs can smell fresh.
Mom has been watching Sparky in the afternoons between when he gets out of school and I can pick him up.  I have been getting after-work snacks and the chance to watch Sponge-Bob Squarepants so it is a good deal all around.
Sparky just asked if we could go fishing tomorrow.  He is quite into fishing just now.  Glen has taken him many times this summer and they both seemed to like it.
Hol had to renew her learners permit for driving because she lacked about five of the 50 hours required for her intermediate licence.
Seriously, does anyone want a dog?  He is barking again and that's OK for now but we have a down-the-street neighbour that likes to remind us on a regular basis that there is a town ordinance prohibiting dogs from barking between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM.  She should show the ordinance to Angus and see if that does the trick in stopping his barking.
'Leenie just came in the house screaming because she was in the "play house" and apparently had a run in with G-man's model paints.  She is quite upset that there is paint on her pants.  I hesitate to go to the play house and view the redecoration.  I just hope G-man is understanding of the potential loss of painting supplies.
Speaking of G-man he has gone "up the canyon" on an over night camping trip with the scouts.  The weather here has been rather good so he should stay rather warm.  I do worry some because he has been growing up with a kid who I refer to as "Damian the Penguin" for reasons that I will leave to your theatrical imaginations.  This young man (the son of a well known resident) has the look of a soon to be archenemy of Batman.  He was even friends with G-man for a time until the light came on in my sons mind.  I think it was when G-man was invited up to play and ended up "helping" The Penguin do his chores while Damian watched.  I'm probably too hard on the little turd and he will either grow up to be some successful dude or some type of mass mayhem provider or both.
There I go again, I thought I had spelled "meyhem" correctly but it was not to be.
Facebook is definitely killing my blogging.  It is much easier to type a few snarky lines on someone Else's "Wall" than it is to sit and compose an entire entry.
Mom gave us a frozen lasagna for out dinner tonight.  She keeps talking about how much she relates to Wife teaching school and what hell it was doing so.  Mom really is great, she tries so hard to help out by getting Wife clothes for school and watching Sparky and providing snacks and dinner.  I wish I could stand being over at her house more.  Glen was with his buddy out in the shed building ammunition and B.S.ing so we were able to sneak in some time with mom.
Seriously do you think I could ever spell "lasagna" right with out spell check?
I have been working... OK thinking about a project that I call for lack of a better term a "family bush" it involves 1.5" square aluminum plates and chain.  If I ever get it working I'll have to explain it better.  It has the potential of being a commercial venture but it would have to be priced and marketed right and even then may be too weird for the general public.  Let's just say it's like a 3D family group sheet.
Thanks for sticking with this entry.  You should be awarded some sort of prize for reading this.  The "I'll-never-get-those-minutes-back" prize.
Well the lasagna is ready so.

Blogging beats Facebook completely. It is more private, has not limit on the amount of words you can use and is a lot more fun. I, myself do not particularly like facebook.

I'm so totally with it on minutes I'll never get back. My whole life seems to fall into that category!

I try to blog at least once a week. Facebook is a big time stealer. The last frozen lagsana we bought was less that steller, it wasn't the same as the one before. I hope your's was better.
