Mr. Shife's February Frenzy Day 24

Having pie for breakfast.
There could be worse ways to start your day. 
Like having a 1,500-pound bull land in your lap.
And it was apple pie in case you were wondering.
I am not sure what kind of fruit I would have dropped in my looms if this happened to me.


  • Happy 24th of February. Is anyone celebrating something today? I am supposed to check my junk. Woo-hoo. I thought about painting testicles on my face but that seems a bit much. I believe I learned in junior high to check your package on your birthday date every month. I have been told by my therapist that I might overshare.

  • The 24th is also a reminder that it is about 3 weeks to Mrs. Shife's birthday and 5 weeks to Kyle's birthday. And two months to my birthday. Hayden and Frizzle celebrate later in the year. 
  • I changed my calendar color from red to blue because I got tired of seeing red - literally and figuratively - when I looked at my work calendar. I feel so much calmer looking at it. 


  • Meme time.


I will try and do better tomorrow.

I will persevere. I will keep moving forward. I will be the stream.

  1. That's the kind of thing that happens when you cheer a fellow in tight pants as he taunts a bull and pokes him with sharp pointy things. My sympathy are not with the folks in the stands.

    1. Mine either, Debby. I am not too sad when I see the bull get some revenge.

  2. that meme - ew.
    and yeah, blue is a better color than red (red = deplorables).
    do you need help checking your package (asking for a friend)?

  3. Blue is a much calmer color for a calendar. Pie is excellent for breakfast! Fruit is healthy. I hope the rest of your week is good and includes more pie.

  6. Today was my husband's birthday. I baked cupcakes for him, but I bet he would have appreciated a package check EVEN MORE!

    I snorted about the colon.

    Kind of sounds like an activity, doesn't it?
    "What are we doing this afternoon?"
    "I don't know about you, but I thought I might snort about the colon, then go out for a drink later."

  8. Oh that meme....checking packages on your birthday date each month...does just touching them, or reaching in to shift them count?

    1. I am not a medical professional, JM, but I think you do whatever works best for you.

  9. Pie is most definitely a breakfast food in our household. It is different than dessert because it doesn't have a scoop of ice cream on it.

    I'm with Debby, I like cheering when nature fights back.

    1. Yes, with ice cream then it crosses over. Good point, Ed.

  15. Good for the bull! I'm not a fan of most pies, but I have been eating Girl Scout cookies in the morning. The fact that they have peanut butter in them makes me feel virtuous.
