  it's monday and i'm back at work. as usual i walk into my office open the blinds, flick the switch on my little pink fan that belonged to my grandmother who died in 1999. we called her grandma bird because we had to distinguish her from the other two grandmothers we had at the time. she was the lucky one. she had doves so of course her name was grandma bird. my parent's names are grandma and grandpa fritz. fritz because that is the name of their dog. i'm not sure they appreciated it at the time but now they are used to it. they used to be called grandma and grandpa trailer because they lived in a trailer but by the time my son was born they were no longer living in a trailer and needed a new name.
my other grandma and grandpa were named grandma and grandpa with the dog. it's kind of like that movie by kevin costner and the native americans and he was a soldier. anyway...the girl's name was stand with a fist. this is similar. so anyway my grandparent't dog died so we changed their names to grandma and grandpa country since they lived on the outskirts of town. but now they are just grandma and grandpa. our family doesn't do those normal names for grandparents...ma maw, pa pa, etc.
that's just not us. but back to my daily routine. i check my email, the local papers, msn slate, davezilla, dooce,&nbsp;the high sign, and some others depending on the day of the week. sounds like a lot of things to do but it really doesn't take me that long. it definitely puts off the starting of the work day which is ALWAYS good! speaking of work i better get to it...
