Thoughts

• Why is Subway they calling their footlongs yum rockets? It is just disturbing?!!!???
• Living near a swing state sucks, I hate both JM & BO's commercials
• Dwight on the office is disturbing
• Naptime should be required during the work day
  
• My dog is deathly afraid of the vaccum cleaner yet she runs in front of it when I am vaccuming - why?
• ER really should have gone off the air 2 years ago.
• Tina Fey as Sarah Palin = hilarious
• Jim Kelly is still the best Bills QB ever
• Always get your flu shot from a pediatric allergy shot nurse, they have a lot of experience with moving targets and you will experience no pain
• The jury is still out on Gold Star Chili
• Keeneland is the nicest race track I have had the pleasure of visiting
  
• Go-Lives cause your brains to leak out of your head, can you tell?
  

Big Bang Theory

This show is very funny!!! Although is made Greg seem like a complete geek tonight when he knew the definition of AFK before the TV show gave the definition.......

Canadian Beer

Canadian Beer is far superior to American Beer. That is all.

Hurricane Ike Go Away!

First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Greg husband of Melissa brother to alex. I will periodically be posting things on here but mainly you can find them on my website.

Today, Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky are recovering from the remenants of Hurricane Ike blowing through yesterday. See some of the damage pictures below. I was sent home from work as we had no power :-) oh darn! However, hopefully I won't have to do too much housework :-).

Quiet Friday Afternoon at Home

I have to work tomorrow so I took a half day today. This is how April spent it after our long walk.
She likes to watch the world go by!

Fish Named Guinness

Ask Greg sometime about the incident with the garbage disposal. While you are at it, he loves to talk about the time he drove around with trash in his car all day.

Hey

Hey everyone. This is Alex. Sorry i haven't been posting lately, i have been a little busy. I have been in school lately. Me and my dad have been going go carting and having a lot of fun.




I have been studying in school so i can get an A on my Spanish test. It has been very busy here in Florida, and i will keep trying to update my posts on the blog

Random Wednesday

So I thought I would share 10 random things about myself with you:

1. I love Notre Dame Football & Basketball
2. I lived in Germany (West Germany to be precise) for a period as a very young child
3. I still secretly think Jim Kelly was the best quarterback ever
4. Tigger is my favorite Disney character
5. My gas grill is sitting in my living room right now
6. I think Weeds is the best, most inappropriate tv show ever
7. Lady bugs scare the crap out of me & I was bitten by one once, it hurt!
8. I made it 8 days without eating out once!
9. I have to sleep with my bedroom, bathroom & closet doors closed, if they are open I cannot settle into sleep.
10. I have been listening to NPR in the car for almost a month now.

A couple pictures for you:

Bathtub

April decided it was time for her bath so she hopped in the tub this morning.

Walking the Dog

As many of you know Greg got me a puppy for Valentine's Day. No, this was not a cruel joke, I asked for a puppy and absolutely adore her. We have not been very faithful about walking her as much as we should have been, which results in a very bad dog that runs around and jumps all over the furniture as she attempts to burn off excess energy. So since we haven't eaten out in a week, we introduced walking into our overall health improvement plan.

Let me tell you walking a puppy on a 85 degree day can result in some funny pictures!


This is April getting ready to go down the slide at the park!











Who needs to drink the water when you can lay in it.












Oh, I am supposed to be standing to drink out of my bowl? You don't mind if I lay here and drink out of it do you?














Also, the Irish played on Saturday and it gave Greg and April the opportunity to show off their matching jerseys!! Aren't they cute????

Day 2 of Eating In

So this week Greg and I decided we would commit ourselves to eating in for seven straight days. Since we both work full time it is easy to get into a rut and eat out 3-4 times a week. I get sick when I think of all the money we are wasting.

Tonight I decided we would have homemade chinese food and I made Mongolian Beef, Crab Rangoon and Sweet & Sour Sauce (a word to the wise - do not use the pineapple juice unless you really like pineapple flavored sauce!) . The Mongolian Beef was fabulous!!! We baked up 2 of the crab rangoons and tasted them before we decided they must be fried!

We also have developed a problem with April. Every night when we put dinner on the table this is what we get:








We must figure out how to end this!!!

Melissa is back in Kentucky

Well, after a long evening of traveling and enjoying all the Dulles B terminal had to offer, I am back home again. I returned to work today exhausted!

Alex had his first day of high school in Florida today, I hear it went well. So well in fact that due to some hurricane his second day of high school has already been canceled.

There is not much else going on here. I am thinking about taking up geocaching, I heard about it on NPR this afternoon it sounds a lot like letter boxing but with my GPS.

Melissa's First Family Orlando Visit

At Disney World!!

Doesn't Alex look "Goofy?"

Don't you love Alex's face on this one?

More mini golf!

Adventures?

Well you may be thinking, what adventures are they talking about? We are talking about trips, like to Universal Studios, Disney World, or walking or even other hobbies. One of our hobbies is letter boxing. The Bossman family goes on many adventures, you will see pictures and everything you need to say posted.

What is letter boxing?

You may be wondering what letter boxing is. Letter Boxing is an activity where you take a stamp book and a stamp pad and you search for a box with designated clues you find on a website. The websites where you find the clues are either on www.atlasquest.com or www.letterboxing.org . The clues will either tell you where to go, or give you clues to know where to go. Once you find the box, you take the stamp and mark it in your book. Once your done, put the contents from the box back in the box and put it back where you found it.
