Walgreens at the Corner of Irate and Amused

“I’m here to pickup some photos and photobooks for my wife; last name Gardipee,” I told the clerk at the photo shop at my local Walgreens.  My wife’s last name is not Gardipee, it’s Evans, like mine.  Gardipee is her maiden name but for some reason Walgreens continually gets it wrong even after she tries to update it.  I’m in a hurry tonight.  It’s almost Christmas, year-end at work, no time for pointless back and forth so I just went with Gardipee.  However, after the clerk rummaged around for a while I said, “Try looking under Evans. That’s actually her name now.”  Eventually, the clerk found the books under Gardipee and the photos under Evans.  That’s better, I guess.  The clerk did not ask if I wanted to update her account, but I did not mind.  I just wanted to pick up dinner and get home.  In addition to the 50% off discount my wife used online when she ordered the books she had given me a ten-dollar coupon to use and I used five dollars of Walgreens rewards, which left my total at just over $50.   

THAT’S MY FAMILY 2015 & MORE

My most successful post has been about my family because they are far more entertaining than anything I write.  So without any ado here are the antics from my family over the last year as seen on Facebook:

This morning Daphne pooped out a gold bead. I think it was from the Christmas tree skirt. ‪#‎IthinkwewatchedClaycloser‬ ‪#‎secondchild‬

That’s My Family - 2014 & A Little More

“Can I use your phone? I need to call Papa.”  My son, Clayton, said to me.  “What for?” I asked.  “For Happy Thank You Day.” He replied.  As a parent of a toddler you often hear, “You should be writing this stuff down.”  This Thanksgiving I was thinking of that, the wonderful family I have to be thankful for, and the fact that we will soon be welcoming a little girl into our nuthouse.  Baby "D" is due to arrive on January 2^nd though I am hoping for a 2014 exemption.  I also thought, Clay and his antics are much more entertaining then anything I write, so why not blog about my family – two birds with one stone.  So without further ado here is my life through select Facebook statuses over the last year and a little more:

Dwayne Wade Should Willingly Take a Significant Pay Cut

I am a huge fan of the NBA.  While I usually root for the Pistons or the Bucks, I am secretly a fan of the Miami Heat.  Okay, I am a LeBron James fan more than a Heat fan similar to when I was going up I was more of a Michael Jordan fan than a Bulls fan.  Anyway, with the free agency craziness that is about to start, here is my argument why Dwayne Wade should willing take a significant pay cut:
