Update, Brown Sugar Style

In memory of our dear friend, Brown Sugar, this update will have a brown sugar theme.

here's what's been going on... melissa is in her pysch rotation this month... she's at the hospital right now... i need to be studying... that seems to be the theme around here... somehow every little thing gets in the way... i can't focus on it right now... november should be when we move to the new office... that's all i can say right now cause that's all i know... we are in our deadline rush to the finish line at work right now... i'm pushing out retirement plan tax forms like women push out babies... a lot of heavy breathing... but it's worth it... then i can relax a little at work... take some days off and study like it's 1999... sometimes i feel i've forgotten how to study... i think it'll come back to me like it never has shortly...

life's been going good... this weekend was fun... helped out at a car wash at church... it was for luekemia and lympoma... i'm usually a better speller... i should have won our elementary school spelling bee... but i didn't... misspelled comfort... if you say a letter then you have to use it... i said ca... oops... i fell flat on my face... kinda like the patriots this weekend...

then 5 of us went to play racquetball... if you have never played you should... good workout... fun to do... you get to see guys in go-go boots and sports bras (at least we did!)... it was the most bizarre thing ever... 12 black guys... choreographed music on a racquetball court... sports bras... no women... you do the math... anyway, we had a great time playing...

went to see corpse bride with some of the coolest kids on the planet... that was fun... the movie was aight... just different enough to be kinda cool... never seen nightmare before christmas though...

melissa just got a new alarm clock for us... has a cd player you can use for the alarm... also has 2 different alarm times... so we can each have our own... i already made a cd for us to wake up to... not sure the weave will like it... some reason i don't think she wants to wake up to "Eye of the Tiger", "We are the Champions", "Let's get it started" or "The Happy Song"... i'm listening to it right now... seems like more of a workout cd... i like to pump myself up in the morning to where i'm pumping fists after i finish my first plan in the morning before everyone else gets to work... i'm listening to u2's beautiful day now... it's on the cd... it'll be a beautiful day...

i led our life group tonight at rick and bethany's house... it was pretty cool... i had a good time there... we talked about love and how it's the basis of all spiritual gifts... all life really... how it helps us live for others and not ourselves... how we need to show the ultimate love to each other... not sexual love... but the kind Jesus showed us... the pure, infectious kind of love... patient love... the kind that hold no grudges... has no hidden motives... is genuine... that's hard for me to do... but it is getting easier... maybe not easier, but more concrete... less conceptual... more life...

melissa's parents were in town this past weekend... we cleaned our apartment... they helped... i feel bad that i didn't get to see them more... somehow things always get in the way of us playing cards with them... we usually play things like spades, bridge, skat, or pitch... grant and mollie taught us a few new cards games last weekend... we might start playing those as well...

that's about it... this is weird... i can't use caps... i can't even touch the shift button... not sure how he does it...


Sugar Brown always gets the ladies


brown sugar is dead... i'm officially pulling the plug... it's just not working... up from where brown sugar lays... dying... stand a new superhero of sorts... sugar brown... the kind that doesn't care what people think... he'll get the lady cause he doesn't try... he's just a superhero... that's what they do...

long live sugar brown...
