40 Year Old Virgin and Fruit

I'm wearing a new shirt today and I'm watching the replay of the Chiefs/Cardinals preseason game on NFL Network. I'm in a great mood! The new shirt isn't fancy and I'm not a huge Chiefs or Cardinals fan, but for some reason the combination makes me happy. I must still be buzzing from our great weekend.

We saw 40 Year Old Virgin Saturday. Hilarious! I loved it when Andy was getting his chest waxed and screamed "ahhh....Kelly Clarkson" and added that to his string of pain-induced expletives. What a goofball. Poor Kelly though...she's a swear word now. Steve Carell said it was his idea to suffer through the chest wax for the movie, so you knew his reaction was genuine. You could tell it was even hard for Paul Rudd to keep a straight face. Anyway, I thought the whole movie was greatness. And it reminded me to wax my eyebrows today.

Angela and I always have the best conversations when we're able to break from our routine and change the setting, and I think that's why going to Kathleen's is so special to us. (Kathleen's Art Cafe, not some lady's house. Just in case you missed the last blog.) We had asiago crusted trout and some drinks and pondered the meaning of life. And then we started talking about the size of our heads. I forget how that came up, but we basically decided if the standard of measurement were a grapefruit, my head would be a cantelope and Angela's head would be an orange. We went through quite a few fruits before we settled on the ones that were most fitting, but these work well I think. And together we would make a nice, refreshing fruit plate. So if we were nuts I would be a slow-roasted, hickory-smoked almond, and Angela would be a honey-roasted peanut (several blogs ago), and if we were fruits I'd be a cantelope and Angela would be an orange. Everything relates to food. The trout was good, but I wouldn't want to be a fish.

Yesterday after church we went to the Mi Cocina on Preston in Plano because it has the coolest patio, but once we got there we decided it was way too hot to sit out there. We sat inside and looked out the window instead. I guess we still had the patio view. This time we talked about the things we had taken from the earlier sermon at church, which was about transforming your mind and not letting things like fear and doubt dictate your actions. I'm trying to be more conscious of self-imposed limitations, so the sermon was a great conversation-starter and it led us to all sorts of other great topics. If we didn't have jobs I think we would be quite content filling up our days with deep, philosophical discussions. Well, we would want to play golf and go to funny movies sometimes too. But Angela is one of the wisest people I know and it's always exciting for me to learn from her perspective.

The only bummer to the whole weekend...Six Feet Under is over. Ahhh.....Kelly Clarkson!
