I couldn't sleep last night, so to help myself nod off, I was thinking of "facts" in my life.  The facts of life.  Get it?

-Our garbage man always has a smile on his face and looks like Sammy Hagar's twin.  I would be smiling, too if I looked like The Red Rocker.

-True friends/old pals stay in your life forever.  This is a big one.  Just this week I spoke with an old friend (dating back to 6th grade) about mortgages and he reminded me how its awesome that I haven't changed a bit.  

-Free hand-me-downs kick ass.  Having kids, for those that don't have children, seem to magically have a grasp on this.  Its not expensive like buying a car….. but its expensive like buying a house.  It always needing upgrades.  As we welcome our second in spring, we got hooked up with a free crib from (DING DING) an old friend.  Love that.  No more of the horseshit garage sale sites on Facebook to buy used items (which are overpriced)…  our friends have come out in droves to offer their old items.  Love it.

-I will never like music that is popular on the radio.  Ever.  For whatever reason, I always go back to the same bands from the same era.  Sorry Miley or whoever the next tweaking whore is on MTV.  No me gusta.

Enough facts.

We took Beau to Toys R Us last night to get a birthday gift for our friend's son.  Holy shit.  Beau's eyes were WIDE open.  He had never seen such a sight.  TOYS everywhere.  I don't think he blinked.  He also was making panting noises.  I couldn't stop laughing.  Shep really like the bike department and the action figure aisle.  He also like the doll babies but Chris didn't like that.  I bet staff at that place watch kids walk outta there crying every day.  There was a family leaving and two of the kids got time outs for asking for something-- I guess thats the T'R'U rule-- don't ask for shit upon walking in.
