Nothing Nothing Tra La La

Ok, my title means I have nothing really important to talk about and doesn't have any further reference to The Labyrinth (sorry Katy)

At lunch time my dad always has a bottle of water into which he dumps about two cups worth of powders. Because of the insane amount of powder in his drink he is constantly shaking his water bottle because if he doesn't it will all settle to the bottom.
Today my dad skipped his powdered regimen and went for a plain bottle of water.
(who wants to guess the climax of this story??)
We caught my dad shaking his plain water bottle. It was SO funny!
He claims he was shaking oxygen into it.
Yeah Right!

I love moccasins. Actually I love fake moccasins (shout out to Ashlie).
I have three pair. One with jewels on the top part, one that is very fuzzy and used as slippers, and one plain pair with moderate fuzz, no jewels, and is used for everyday use.
The plain ones were very dirty so I threw them into the washer last night.
(which spurred the comment from my mom "what is in the washer? it sounds like a pair of shoes")
When I woke up this morning I went to get my work pants out of the dryer and noticed my moccasins were a little misshapen so I put them on to 'form' them. I was very very cold and putting the moccasins on warmed me up very quickly. As I continued getting ready for work I shuttered at the thought of taking off my warm comfy moccasins and putting on a cold, stiff pair of shoes. So........
(who wants to guess the climax to THIS story???)
I wore my moccasins to work today.
This wouldn't be such a big deal if it wasn't wet and muddy where I work.
Needless to say they are going back into the washer tonight.

Because of my dads experience in the army (in the Desert Storm war, and just all of his training field exercises) he would always shake his fork while he was eating. When he was in training and at war they always had to do that to keep the bugs off of the bite of food that was on their fork. So, to this day, my dad STILL shakes his fork when he's eating. I think it's so funny!

Yay! I just saw this post. I love moccasins too. They are so much more comfortable.
