You ever get the feeling the universe takes sick pleasure in 'piling on'?

I've felt very overwhelmed of late with family responsibilities (one @ 15 months and a second due in April), work responsibilities (a never ending project list), and volunteer responsibilities (trying to organize/source donations for an annual fundraising event) - So it only makes sense I'd get a promotion at work the same week I'm elected to serve a 3-year term on the Cyclone Gridiron Club Board.

I really need to learn how to not speak up when people as for help...
I need to meet you some day at one of the gridiron functions. :D

We went to the Meadery this weekend. I find mead to be so-so. A bit too sweet for me. The neighbor lady ordered a flight and didn't like any of them so the neighbor husband and I finished those off. We found that we liked it better and better as we drank more. Whether that was because we become more accustomed to the honey aftertaste or because we just got more drunk, we aren't sure.

The place had lots of medieval-style decorations and had capes, crowns, helmets, plastic swords and axes, and a heavy mjolnir. It was weird but in a good way. I'd like to say we'd go back because we had fun but none of us really loved the drink.

We also stopped at Big Wood brewery so it wasn't real difficult to come up with super-intelligent comments about the name of the place.
Tell the truth -- did you already know that word? Or did mead help you think?
Personally I don't care for mead. Maybe I just haven't had the right one, but I don't need to try more mead.

I had to google that word. I was going to use "Thor's hammer" but decided to use the cool Scandinavian term.

Everyone enjoyed the wrestling meet yesterday. Well other than the two year old, she was not a fan of the fire for intros and wins. Thankfully only one ODD issue with LittleWx, started therapy again for that recently so hopefully that helps him.

Not exactly sure.

He lives in Norwegian land so they probably say it routinely while feeding enemies into wood chippers.

I had to get something from my truck. There are two racks that were delivered to my house sometime between 7pm Saturday and 10 am today as I never left the house yesterday.
I didn't order these and so far I haven't figured out how to find out who should have received them. There is no address on them from what I can tell so far.
I guess I better go inspect them a little better.

Two? Most people only need one of these.
