Don't you just love their little voices?

This is what happens sometimes when you turn your back on dad.

    I was just going to do one line for an ad that read, ‘Twas the night before Christmas, and with nary a frown, the main street dance theatre was performing downtown." I ended up doing every voice I could think of and before I knew it, the file was more than five minutes long.
    It doesn't take much to amuse me.

    It may be a great building, but the online presence sucks.
    I got a great online-only deal for someone for Christmas. Whip out the ol' card, and prepare to "1-Click to order" away! "Sign in with your Amazon account," it teased me. Easy enough. Now, where'd the special go that was just here a minute ago? Dig my way through and find it after a five-minute hunt. Put it in the cart and check out! Done!
    NO.
    My cart is empty since I'm inside Target.com wearing the cloak of Amazon.com around me. I have to create a Target account to actually buy the damn thing!
    Ok, create the Target account, give it all the same information that is in my Amazon account. Order the damn thing. Now I'm done, right?
    NO.
    It doesn't want a PO Box, it wants a street address. No biggie. I give them work address in case it needs to be signed for. After all, UPS doesn't deliver to PO boxes, right?
    Using the ingenious TrackThis via Twitter, I follow my little box from Eden Prairie, Minnesota to Bozeman. I get a notice saying it was delivered on Friday. I didn't get a package at work. I even called three people who were there before me (UPS said it was delivered at 7:30am), but no one saw the UPS man.
    I get online go to the Target site. I have to have the order number to get to my account. And no, you CAN'T ENTER WITH YOUR GODDAMN AMAZON ACCOUNT.
    I enter the order number and it tells me "a secure link has been generated to your order. Please check your e-mail." One more nail in target.com's coffin, one more hassle. Once I click on the link, I can get the UPS tracking number and follow it on the UPS site. Here's what the "Proof of Delivery" says:

Shipped/Billed On: 11/29/2010

Delivered On: 12/03/2010 7:32 A.M.

Delivered To: BOZEMAN, MT, US

Signed By: POST OFFICE

Location: OFFICE

    My UPS package was delivered to the fucking post office! Now, here comes the fun part. We don't get our mail at work via an actual address we have a...wait for it...PO Box number where we receive our mail. I called UPS a few minutes ago and was told that target.com used the cheapest shipping mode available to get my package to me. That means they dump it at the Post Office. Who now has a package with an address, that according to them, doesn't exist! Now I have to climb through a bureaucratic crap-hole to find my little box, which still has to make it to Canada before Christmas! I just may have to tell Loretta she's getting a very, very early Valentine's Day present.

There were two runs that Colter totally wiped it on that I wasn't shooting that were hilarious. He got up laughing both times, just so you know he was ok.

How can you not love a 6 year old who asks to be excused from the table so he can empty the dishwasher?

But he doesn't like the sound of his voice and can't figure out why it doesn't "sound like" me.

I'm making this for lunch/football tomorrow. Pre-chopped the veggies tonight. I will crack open the beer(s) for the soup once football starts on Sunday. If the pic is unreadable, let me know and I can send you the recipe.
