And the people that are in them are an even bigger deal.
Tomorrow my youngest sister gets hitched. For months she's been hooked and booked. Now she's getting cooked.
The church says no drinkin beforehand. "If you cannot consciously particpate in the ceremony you will be ushered out to your car."
If this happens, can someone rustle Toad before the reception starts? I'd hate for him to miss his shining moment on the dance floor. He's moves like no other to the Mexican Hustle.
Keep Janko in your thoughts tomorrow. If you don't see another posting in a while, know I'm working on it. I expect this wedding will give me plenty to blog about.

Secret Followers
I have been made aware of certain dirts who are reading my blog (in fact consistently waiting on pins and needles for the my next postings) but don't have the cajones to actually become a follower.
WHY?
-->Is it too much work for you to register?
-->Are you too cool for school?
If you like what you've read, be a follower already.
SECRET Followers are cowards.

Do these banks collapsing scare you?
If so, I think you may be the only one.
I was running errands today and nobody looked real worried to me.
At Meijer's I put the chocolate milk back. We can make it ourselves at home.
I stopped at Costco and filled up. Saving 3 cents a gallon made me feel like I really have one over on Bushey.
I did notice one guy in a royal blue mustang timed all of the traffic lights just right. If you drive about 73 mph, you'll never hit a red light. You may occassionally run into a yellow, but hell, just pick up the pace and blow through it. That's what he did. Studies do show keeping a consistent fast speed allows for better mileage.
And I bet he got to the library a lot faster than I did. In fact, he's probably the jackarse that rented the last copy of Mario 5 on Wii. Try explaining that one to your 5 year old. "Andrew, that man got the Wii game you wanted because he drove wrecklessly to get better gas mileage. Mom obeys the laws, and we all suffer for it."

Shiznit in the Dojo
Here we are. Week #2 of Karate. It's gonna be better this week. The kids will pay better attention. My son will not ask absurd questions. Maybe that's an unrealistic statement. I'm just hoping he doesn't ask more than two. Just keep it at a max of two, Andrew.
I decided to "do the right thing" and ask our next door neighbor to join. They just had a baby 3 days ago and lawrd knows it's probably a hot mess over there. New babies really disrupt the household. With a 6 year old in the home practicing karate, everyone should be safer and better off, right?
I told our neighbors I'd drive their son both ways for every session. Just say it, I know what you're all thinking. "That Janko, she's something else. ALWAYS thinking about others before herself. I wish I lived next door to her."
The session was going pretty well, until someone (you can imagine who it was) asked the Sensay a question, the first one of the evening: "Have you ever been in a situation where you were nearly killed? What kind of kicks and strikes did you do to bury your enemy?"
That question opened up the floodgates. Then every kid's hand shot up and the absurdity began:
1.) What did you do to get all of those patches on your robe? Did you kill people and that's how you earned them?
2.) I want to get a robe and pants like you have. But I want a different color belt. Do they make pink ones?
3.) I know you said we need to practice but no one will let me practice with them. My Mom is always too tired for karate and my dad's usually outside cutting the grass."
You have to understand the Sensay. He has a professional job by day. He's just a Sensay on the side. In fact, I think he's an attorney because whenever the kids want to make a comment he always says, "I will listen to your side and then you will adhere to my point of view because I run this dojo."
Driving home, I asked our neighbor if he is glad he joined. Here's Andrew reply:
"Of course he is, Mom. Punching and kicking at Karate Class is a lot better than being at home with your family. You get to be violent."
