The Confused Neuron

I was woken up this morning by shouts of “HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!” and Christy, Brae and Finn plopping down on the bed next to me with hands full of gifts.  A nice way to be greeted in the morning!  I’ll tell you it’s a great feeling.   So, in my reusable WalMart shopping bag, Brae gave me a new picture of him framed in different colored popsicle sticks, all colors chosen by him of course, a coffee mug with his handprints on it and his name (which I used this morning for my coffee), a “Weather Rock” which is exactly what it sounds like.  It was painted by Braeden himself and came with instructions on how to use it.  Hang it outside and…if it’s wet, it’s raining, if it’s white it’s snowing, if it’s moving, it’s windy, if it’s warm it’s sunny outside and if it’s missing, you’ve been ripped off.  Now is that perfect for my sense of humor or what?  Brae (and his Gram) know me quite well.  I also got a homemade Father’s Day card from Brae with Superman on the front and inside it says “You’re my superhero”.  That’s going on the wall. =o)

From Christy and Brae I got three tickets to the Rascal Flatts concert in September!  How awesome is that?  Finn will be one day shy of 4 months old then and if he’s feeling up to it, he’ll be joining us on the lawn for the show.  I totally didn’t expect to get concert tickets for Father’s Day.  It was a complete surprise and I’m already looking forward to it.  I wasn’t planning on going to any concerts anytime soon since Finn is here but we’ll see how it goes in a few months.  I think it’ll be a lot of fun for us.  I also received the movie “Defiance” with Daniel Craig.  It looks really cool, I’ll have to figure out when to watch it.  Hmm…also got a pack of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and a baggie full of candy.  Just my style.

So, so far it’s been a great Father’s Day weekend for me.  Just hanging out with no plans really other than making the rounds to visit all the Dad’s and Granddad’s which we’ll be doing shortly.  Happy Father’s Day to all.
