Bob Loblaw's Law Blog

So this is the time of year that everybody does New Year's Resolutions and all that crap. I am not really anti-resolution, per se, but resolutions imply change, and any change I would make would be a change for the worse, as I am already perfect. So my resolution is to maintain the status quo.

A good answer for the annually irritating question of "What are you going to do this year?" would be: "Whatever I feel like doing, GOSH!!" This question ranks up there next to "How's the married life?" and "How are you adjusting (to the post-mission life)?" in top irritating questions. Since my blog is becoming a top 10 ranking blog (similar to the movie "High Fidelity"), I may as well rank them. Here they are, the most irritating questions that you get way too much, and the standard answer I use:

1. How's the married life? A: Huge upgrade.
2. How are you adjusting? A: Horribly. (I realize that this is a pretty bad canned answer, I'm open to suggestchs)
3. What are you going to do next year? A: Whatever I feel like doing, GOSH!!
4. Don't Mormons have lots of wives? A: No, not really, I've only got 5.
5. Will you marry me? A: Maybe if you lose a few pounds.

Those are the only irritating questions that I get on a regular basis that I can think of right now. Please send me your other common irritating questions.

Anyway, 2007 was a pretty good year for me. Although I did not leave the country once (even including Canada!), it was probably my best year ever. See below.

January: Said "I love you" finally to Mellificent, even though we'd be dating for more than a year. Also, the Colts won the Super Bowl.


















February: Turned 27. Another year without dying.









March: Popped the Big Q. The answer: A hesitant "Yes".
April: Went to St. Louis to visit Gertsch and see Albert be awesome.












May: Went up to Lake Winnipesaukee for a day, 'twas awesome.








June: Tied the knot with beautiful Mellificent. Went on honeymoon to Florida.
July: Moved into brand new place, which was a huge step up from my last place, with underground parking, washer, dryer, dishwasher, central air, and garbage disposal. These are NOT standard by any means in the Boston area.
September: Bought an almost-new car, nicest we've ever had.
October: Celebrated Mellif's sweet 16 by going up to Vermont and stuff.
November: Mellif's 'rents visited over Thanksgiving.
December: Had Christmas and saw almost all Hansens, except Kurt and Al. Received a PSP, which is pretty dagnabbed awesome. Now I can play NBA Live 2008 on the train to and fro work.

How about: When you gonna cut yer hair, or better yet...when you gonna shave that beard of yers. Those are two frequently asked question quickly increasing in irritation.

On the train to and from work?!! Don't you mean: on the train, during 'breaks' at work, waiting for the mrs. to cook dinner, late at night, etc. You should be playing entire 82-game seasons monthly.

I don't know about your NBA Live game you got, but the one problem with '08 is that it's next to impossible to play good defense. Some games teams will dunk on me 9 to 10 times in a row. I realized it wasn't just me when I googled it and saw that the reviews also complained about how hard defense is...but somehow I'm still shooting 80% to keep winning. Of course, that screws up my FG% stats when Booze goes 25/28 every game.

Wait til you get pregnant! (which might be a very long time). I am sick of hearing almost daily "How are you feeling?" and "Are you excited?" and "Do you want a boy or a girl" and "What are you going to name him?" The answer to all these questions are: Get your dang mitts off my stomach! I'm just fat!

I jumped on your blog for the first time and was wowed by how much hair your Simpson Avatar had. Hooray Rogaine. I'm glad I can keep in pseudo-touch with the man they call "The First of Many"

Late.
