Moving = not so fun

IT'S TIME TO MOVE!!!

It's very exciting, because in two weeks I'm moving into the future home of the Bueno's...I mean Mettings! Mettings! LOL! It's gonna be a good apartment. Get it "good." LOL!!!! I made a funny!
In the mean time I am bunking up with my fried Drew. Cowper on the other hand will be driving Big Ron crazy all day! Can't wait to hear about it.

I moved into McCowan manor a year ago, and it has definitely been an interesting ride. It started out with Adam, Shayne, Billy, James, and myself. We then dropped James, or better said James dropped us. We lost Adam to Austin, but then picked up John. Guess what, we lost John, and decided lets not pick up anyone. In the process of all this Billy rarely lived there. Thus, Shayne and I have been rockin it solid the whole year. As for pets we started with none, added Paylor and a beagle whose name I can't remember. Lost the nameless Beagle, but then gained a horse...I mean a Mastiff named Rufus. Lost Paylor, but then added Cowper. When we lost Adam we lost Rufus, thus Cowper stands alone as the only four legged creature to survive McCowan Manor.

Trust me there are some scary details mixed it with all that. If you care to know what all went down just ask Shayne. He will verify the craziness!

We started seriously packing last night, and I remembered why I loved living in the same house for the first 21 years of my life and how much I hate the fact that I have moved 9 times...9 times since!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is no bueno! LOL!!! HAHAHA!!!

Christy and I have already decided that packing boxes, dusting the undustable, and deciding what to keep or throw away aka "moving" stinks! We don't really know where we want to permanently live just yet, but knowing us I think by year 3 or so we will have a good idea.

This is the moment in my blog where I thank my Grandparents for the inability to throw anything away, which was passed down to my mother, but not to me!!! There is no greater feeling in moving than looking at something and giving it the 3 month test. What is the 3 month test you may ask... If you ain't used it in 3 months chuck deuce and throw it away! Bid it adieu! Some may say "Ronald you may use that!" Translation..."Ronald you may use that sometime the next decade!" Sorry, but I ain't keepin it to collect dust!

I close with this. When you have the most perfect person in the world (better known as Christy Bueno) help you move it is all good. We take dance breaks to Dean Martin as we pack, and we play fetch with Cowper and his 50lb man frame! I love her, she is my partner forever, and if moving means I'm joining together with her, then i'll move everyday of the year

Do I really enjoy these moments???

I'm in one of those moods today. You know one of those "i'm feeling this deep longing for truth" type moods. One of those "the world can take all it has to offer and shove it" type moods. One of those "I really wish I could be a touring musician, make records, and spread truth to the world" moods. Instead I am sitting at a cubicle (which is something I have found myself to love, especially when compared to the alternative) typing a blog about this mood or moods.

LOL!!!

I love days when I get all serious and I tap into my inner hardrive of emotions.

Moving on...How about those Texans baby!!! About time they punched someone in the mouth. The stunk it up way too much, but all in all they kicked the Titans square in the junk! Andre Johnson is a stud, and I still believe Steve Slaton is gonna break out. He's just played against two tough defenses.

Back to work!

Revelation 19

Not to go all serious after multiple "Ronald" like blogs, but I read this during my lunch break and thought "man that is rich!"

Revelation 19:7, "Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.' And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Then he said to me, 'write: Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!' And he said to me, 'These are the true saying of God.' And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, 'See that you do not do that! I am your fello servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.'"

I didn't want to go crazy into the timing of the text, but rather just to look at the relationship we have with Jesus. It's beautiful!

Song of Solomon 4:9-11 "You have ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; You have ravished my heart with one look of your eyes, with one link of your eyes, with one link of your necklace. How fair is your love, my sister, my spouse! How much beter than wine is your love, and the scent of your perfumes than all spices! Your lips, O my spouse, drip as the honeycomb; honey and milk are under your tongue; and the fragrance of Lebanon."

Psalm 119:15-16 "I will meditate on Your precepts, and contemplate Your ways. I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word."

Psalm 119:47-48 "And I will delight myself in Your commandments, which I love. My hands also I will lift up to Your commandments, which I love. and I will meditate on Your statutes."

Meditate...

My Mom said "Buckup!"

My wonderful mother (and probably yours too) decided to tell me to "buckup" today after I wrote about missing Christy and how weekends can also be seen as a tease.

I don't really know what "buck up" means. I'm not a buck, if I had a $ I wouldn't throw it up, and I know my name is not Buck. Again, my mother has discovered another fabulous phrase or term to use to describe a situation.

My all time favorite is "i'll be darn!" Why does she want to be darn??? I don't even know what "darn" is, and if I did I don't think I would want to be it.

Thus, my mother has filled my life with many laughable moments at her expense, however her heart is tender enough to laugh along.

Please share your favorite phrases that really make no sense, but we/you use them anyways.

I'll be darn!

Someone's got a case of the Monday's

I do! I do! I do! I do!

So today I was supposed to have lunch with Christy because tomorrow my lovely bride to be starts her big girl job. Well, Monday is payroll day and apparently I'm the new guy for that task! It's like they think I've handled payroll before or something?

We got too busy. Let me repeat. We got too busy for me to give her a set time to meet me up here for lunch, so I am so sad.

On top of that as much as I love Fridays now I don't like Mondays. What a tease! I get to spend all weekend with my dreamgirl only to be thrown into a cubicle to play by myself the very next day.

I must say quickly that Christy and I found a dream place yesterday! Berripop yogurt!!! Yeah, I bought stock! You should check it out.

Back to my corner I go

I can post again!!!

Well, good news all you readers of "the" blog I can post, because I have time! So, dad, adrienne, meredith, and Christy get excited!

What to write about today??? Well, today is Friday! Do you know what that means??? You probably do, but I never have, well atleast not since High School. Friday over the last 8 or 9 years has been known as the day where I serve you some sort of consumable treat! I now know that Fridays rule!!!! I thought to myself this morning, "this is why someone actually thought a restraunt proclaiming the greatness of this day would work??? Smart person.

I would also like to take a moment and say I love packing my lunch for work. Why does it taste so good???!!! Why does a peanut butter and jelly sandwich taste 10 times better after it has been refrigerated for 5 hours after conception? Or, why does a bag of goldfish jump out of your Igloo Maxcold lunch box screaming "i'm here for you!" Better yet, why is it that a little tiny treat called Jello make you go old school like the lunch lady snuck you a few extra bread rolls at school? All I know is this, my lunch time is worth the 8 hours of typing, filing, reading, reviewing, and laughing at people who get stressed because the printer's jammed. LOL! Actually the last part although it may be a tiny bit mean is very entertaining.

Try this on for size those perplexed by the amazingness of a printer, "Can I have a 4 shot, upside down, non-fat, stirred really really good, extra caramel, whip, and 6 pumps of vanilla caramel macchiato." "Uh mam, what size?" "I said, a venti 4 shot, upside down, stirred really really good, extra caramel, and 6 pumps of vanill caramel macchiato." "Um mam, did you want it non-fat and with whip." "No! I didn't ask for non-fat or whip!"

I know, I know, the printer says paper jam in tray 1. What do we do??? Let's locate tray 1, and love on it for a little bit. LOL!

Just kidding with all this. These are just the musings of my first week in what I like to call normalness. I've learned how to handle stress a great deal over the last decade, because of work, so this really is just an added skill to my set. This job hopefully will stay the same, and Christy and I can move up in both our companies and enjoy our NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS!!!
