Seven Sam Things

Since Terri is feeling under the weather and her regular doses of NyQuil render her unconscious for 12 hours at a time, I thought this would be a good opportunity to do my 7 little known facts. And to spice it up a bit each one will correlate with one of the 7 "Deadly Sins."

1. Gluttony- I have an almost diagnosable obsession for freshly baked doughnuts. I remember one night a guy who lived upstairs from me stopped by and one thing led to another and before we knew it we were talking about the best places in town to get tasty confections. At one point, late into the night, I could sense that there was something he wanted to tell me but for some reason was holding back. I assured him that he was in a safe place and he could trust me with anything. It was then that he revealed to me that Krsipy Kreme stores are so insistent that their selection be fresh that if doughnuts sit out for too long they just throw them all away. He told me that he regularly went out back behind the store and grabbed boxes of them. Several weeks later Terri and I were in Boise and we went to Krispy Kreme with Curtis and Quinnton and I'll skip the gory detailes but I will say this, we did enjoy delicious dumpster doughnuts, and we were not ashamed.

2. Greed- Growing up I was always taught that you should treat others how you want to be treated. Apparently I got a little bit confused and over time that principle has translated into, you should buy people things that you would want them to buy you. Terri calls me out on it all the time, I will come home and say "Terri, I brought you a surprise!" She will then respond, " Oh thanks, a carton of Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream which you know I don't like and which happens to be your favorite." I swear to her its not intentional, but I must confess that I pull those shananagins a lot.

3. Sloth- When Terri and I have kids I plan on allowing them to roam freely in their natural(naked) state in a large room with a tile floor and walls. This way, until they are potty trained, when a "mess" is made we can just hose it right away. (did I mention the slight slant to the drain in the center of the room?) This will cut down on laundry and save me from changing diapers.

4. Wrath- I don't like it when people hit me. Even playful smacks for some reason make me very angry. Do you remember in Jr High when it was manly for guys to slug each other in the arm? I hated that. I think it is because my mom never let me play football when I was little. :)

5. Envy- I have never had a truck. Someday I will. It may not be the biggest or newest, but it will be a truck.(Some people call their SUV's like Ford Explorers or Pathfinders "trucks" but this is wrong and offensive) I have to borrow trucks pretty often to move stuff, so when I have a truck I will help lots of people move stuff too because I always appreciate it. So just know this, if you have a truck, I envy you.

6. Pride-I thought for a long time and I just could not identify with this particular sin in any way. I will say this though, I am the best Dr Mario player ever and if you think you are better than me you are wrong, and you should be more humble.

7. Lust-I think Terri is a babe.

Well, there you have it, 7 things about me you may or may not have known. When Terri awakens we will see if she ever lets me near her blog again :)
