How long can a tantrum be paused for? Apparently, 6.1 miles. #paternityleave #

With Jess at parent conferences, I'm getting a good view of a single parent's evening. I have much respect. #paternityleave #hurryhome #

Is it my birthday? Nope, just a wonderful wife who made it so I could sleep in until 9am. #sleepthatswhereimaviking #

I love mortgage refi Fridays. #

There's like coming home to have both twins take a nap on me. #twinirvana #

Haven't had 2 things since 1am: power and sleep. They're predicting another 3 hours at least. #

A marathon day. #paternityleave #

The twins have timed up their napping with when my coffee is ready--that's usually when they refuse to stay down. #paternityleave #

Best part of being home today: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is on #paternityleave #

5.5 mile walk today to buy shoes and socks for the twin-folk. Beautiful day today. #paternityleave #

A very successful basil-lemon chicken and couscous #

Problem with eating couscous; after cleaning up & putting the boys to bed, I found brown lil' booger-looking objects. To taste them or not? #

Hard to believe, the Twinlings are 8 months old today. I remember when we still had to wait 8 months for them to be born. #paternalleave #

The twin-folk are stuffed up and coughy, which makes them fantastic sleepers in 18 minute bouts, all night long #paternityleave #

My last dream of the night was me as a student in high school. Michael Keaton was running for student body president. #

Apparently fried eggs cook quicker on the "on" burner. I blame @altonbrown for never covering that topic with a puppet. #goodtweets #

A great 6 mile walk today with the twinlings. #paternityleave #

end of the day: I'm covered in snot, coated in drool and splattered with half eaten food... and only some of belongs to me #paternityleave #

What a mistake to accidentally stumble onto the Viking website. Jess may need to get another job so I can outfit a kitchen properly #

Another wild rumpus of a night: Twinlings sleeping, Jess grading, turnips, potatoes, avacado, and cauliflower smashed into babyfood #yawnuts #

ATTN: @Jaegerwells Decided that @saturatedpratt @ghentmills and I need some cheap tickets into DFW for a weekend #pratttatinhand #upperthigh #

Wow, we just dumped on... snow-wise #

Hey! Checkout the revamped CWW Designs page: http://t.co/5iPS8HNi ! #artforkids #

It took half of my repertoire of the Beatles and James Taylor to get Owen to sleep tonight. #paternityleave #

The twins woke up from their afternoon nap to nap on the couch. #paternityleave #nappinglikeapro #

A day that started out miserably ended perfectly with a walk in the rain with the boys to walk their mama home from work. #paternityleave #

I don't know what crazy Friday night plans y'all in the midst of, but i just took a shot... At starting my taxes and making baby food #

Up at 5 'til 5 with the rising Parker. #

Is there a sound worse than a baby grinding his teeth? #

Put down a 4 mile walk with the boys today. Saw ducks, walked across 2 bridges. And I was the only one awake the whole time #paternityleave #

These babies ate so happy all the time, it's a paradigm shift for me; kinda refreshing #paternityleave #

Not sure a day gets better than this. #paternityleave #menadmyboys #twinning #

I think I'd be grumpy too if I had pooed on my own shoulders. #paternityleave #crappy story #

New toys be damned, apparently the couch pillows are the most exciting thing we have. #paternityleave #addittothexmaslist #

Five mile walk today with GG, followed by an appetizing lunch of mashed carrots and whirled prunes #paternityleave #

In bed by 8:14(pm!), who woulda thunk it. #parentingforthewin #

If today was a car, it would only have 2 wheels left due to blow outs #paternityleave #

I guess I bought a round trip ticket on today's cranky train #paternityleave #

After Twinpocalypse, Hurricane O and P are in their respective cribs. #Paternityleave #

Apparently Owen sprouted two more teeth overnight, alas, Parker sprouted more drool. #

I'm not sure if I should be embarrassed or proud that when I log into Amazon, all they suggest are Legos. #

T-minus 1 day until my paternity leave starts.#twinning #

Doing my part for the Duck win by staying home, O'fer on the road. #rosebowl #

Badgers? We don't need no stinking badgers. Nice job Ducks. #rosebowl #whendothebeavsplaytheirbowlgame #2018 #

Wait, wait, wait. I was never informed that paternity duties start at 5:30am. Where's my contract? #paternityleave #

Currently it's just me and the woobly pengin hanging out in the living room/ #naptime #paternityleave #twinning #

Much like the adage of buttered toast: reaching for a fully loaded diaper on floor, you always find the worst part first. #paternityleave #

It's hard watching Jess go to work in the morning, mostly because I'm in bed and my eyes haven't adjusted to the light. #

Drink my ovaltine? What a crock. #

These babies are noobs. They open 2 gifts each and they needed a nap. Judging by the pile of presents, it'll take 4 days to open them all #

Parker has all the toys he wants, but the curtain is much more entertaining #

Go figure: with 10.5 hours of sleep, I'm down-right productive. #

The problem with making potstickers is as soon as they are done, they're gone #

All the potstickers have been cooked, and for some inexplicable reason, I feel full. #

No one but The Shins to keep me company at work #winterbreaking #

Who has 4 thumbs and are asleep in their cribs at 5:50pm? Our twins. #

Nap-time forecast: muffled laughter, followed by voice eroding screaming, then intermittent crying and finally sleep later int he day #

Nearly 2 hours of basketball makes a good morning. #

Better than the CG mall. #AKAwalmart #

Both of the toes of Parker's socks are wet. He may be a little obsessed. #

It's nice not being the only person in the house with poor fine motor skills. #

Five little days until my paternity leave starts... I've been trying out my new phrase, "See ya in April!" #

Ok, 5 days may be a stretch. I'll be lucky to make it through today. #

Good Mornin' ladies and gentlemen, I'll be your zombie today. Looks like we'll be crusin' at about 3.5 hours of sleep. Enjoy the ride. #

The positive side of being so distractable today is that every idea I have is a good idea. #

Too bad about the Rose & Thistle in Eugene: http://t.co/Q4exjDbt #

Owen is our official carrot sprayer unit. #

One more day. #

Nice to see CG and the Ducks represented well: http://t.co/j18OJ1EZ, nice work, Grant. #

How long can a tantrum be paused for? Apparently, 6.1 miles. #paternityleave #

With Jess at parent conferences, I'm getting a good view of a single parent's evening. I have much respect. #paternityleave #hurryhome #

Is it my birthday? Nope, just a wonderful wife who made it so I could sleep in until 9am. #sleepthatswhereimaviking #

I love mortgage refi Fridays. #

There's like coming home to have both twins take a nap on me. #twinirvana #

Haven't had 2 things since 1am: power and sleep. They're predicting another 3 hours at least. #

A marathon day. #paternityleave #

The twins have timed up their napping with when my coffee is ready--that's usually when they refuse to stay down. #paternityleave #

Best part of being home today: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is on #paternityleave #

5.5 mile walk today to buy shoes and socks for the twin-folk. Beautiful day today. #paternityleave #

A very successful basil-lemon chicken and couscous #

Problem with eating couscous; after cleaning up & putting the boys to bed, I found brown lil' booger-looking objects. To taste them or not? #

Hard to believe, the Twinlings are 8 months old today. I remember when we still had to wait 8 months for them to be born. #paternalleave #

The twin-folk are stuffed up and coughy, which makes them fantastic sleepers in 18 minute bouts, all night long #paternityleave #

My last dream of the night was me as a student in high school. Michael Keaton was running for student body president. #

Apparently fried eggs cook quicker on the "on" burner. I blame @altonbrown for never covering that topic with a puppet. #goodtweets #

A great 6 mile walk today with the twinlings. #paternityleave #

end of the day: I'm covered in snot, coated in drool and splattered with half eaten food... and only some of belongs to me #paternityleave #

What a mistake to accidentally stumble onto the Viking website. Jess may need to get another job so I can outfit a kitchen properly #

Another wild rumpus of a night: Twinlings sleeping, Jess grading, turnips, potatoes, avacado, and cauliflower smashed into babyfood #yawnuts #

ATTN: @Jaegerwells Decided that @saturatedpratt @ghentmills and I need some cheap tickets into DFW for a weekend #pratttatinhand #upperthigh #

Wow, we just dumped on... snow-wise #

Hey! Checkout the revamped CWW Designs page: http://t.co/5iPS8HNi ! #artforkids #

It took half of my repertoire of the Beatles and James Taylor to get Owen to sleep tonight. #paternityleave #

The twins woke up from their afternoon nap to nap on the couch. #paternityleave #nappinglikeapro #

A day that started out miserably ended perfectly with a walk in the rain with the boys to walk their mama home from work. #paternityleave #

I don't know what crazy Friday night plans y'all in the midst of, but i just took a shot... At starting my taxes and making baby food #

Up at 5 'til 5 with the rising Parker. #

Shamless Plug! RT: @CdoubleWdesigns: The Latest Drawing! http://t.co/uhewUpYc #

Is there a sound worse than a baby grinding his teeth? #

Put down a 4 mile walk with the boys today. Saw ducks, walked across 2 bridges. And I was the only one awake the whole time #paternityleave #

These babies ate so happy all the time, it's a paradigm shift for me; kinda refreshing #paternityleave #

Not sure a day gets better than this. #paternityleave #menadmyboys #twinning #

I think I'd be grumpy too if I had pooed on my own shoulders. #paternityleave #crappy story #

New toys be damned, apparently the couch pillows are the most exciting thing we have. #paternityleave #addittothexmaslist #

Five mile walk today with GG, followed by an appetizing lunch of mashed carrots and whirled prunes #paternityleave #

In bed by 8:14(pm!), who woulda thunk it. #parentingforthewin #

If today was a car, it would only have 2 wheels left due to blow outs #paternityleave #

I guess I bought a round trip ticket on today's cranky train #paternityleave #

After Twinpocalypse, Hurricane O and P are in their respective cribs. #Paternityleave #

Apparently Owen sprouted two more teeth overnight, alas, Parker sprouted more drool. #

I love the new year smell. #

I'm not sure if I should be embarrassed or proud that when I log into Amazon, all they suggest are Legos. #

T-minus 1 day until my paternity leave starts.#twinning #

Doing my part for the Duck win by staying home, O'fer on the road. #rosebowl #

Badgers? We don't need no stinking badgers. Nice job Ducks. #rosebowl #whendothebeavsplaytheirbowlgame #2018 #

Wait, wait, wait. I was never informed that paternity duties start at 5:30am. Where's my contract? #paternityleave #

Currently it's just me and the woobly pengin hanging out in the living room/ #naptime #paternityleave #twinning #

Much like the adage of buttered toast: reaching for a fully loaded diaper on floor, you always find the worst part first. #paternityleave #

It's hard watching Jess go to work in the morning, mostly because I'm in bed and my eyes haven't adjusted to the light. #

Apparently I can be vetoed over resolutions concerning naps, naptimes, and nap duration. #paternityleave #2/3majority #cribveto #

Owen is the proud New owner of an incisor #

Drink my ovaltine? What a crock. #

These babies are noobs. They open 2 gifts each and they needed a nap. Judging by the pile of presents, it'll take 4 days to open them all #

Parker has all the toys he wants, but the curtain is much more entertaining #

Go figure: with 10.5 hours of sleep, I'm down-right productive. #

The problem with making potstickers is as soon as they are done, they're gone #

All the potstickers have been cooked, and for some inexplicable reason, I feel full. #

The Hitler mustache is alive and well at the Springfield Target. #surpriseditwasntatwalmart #

Now surpassing their Uncle Meagan in number of food eaten, O & P enjoyed their first round of sweet potatoes. #

"Up and atom" #

Every morning, I wake up and it looks like I am wearing the hat portion of a ghillie suit #

No one but The Shins to keep me company at work #winterbreaking #

Who has 4 thumbs and are asleep in their cribs at 5:50pm? Our twins. #

Nap-time forecast: muffled laughter, followed by voice eroding screaming, then intermittent crying and finally sleep later int he day #

A while ago, we had an issue where we needed to take a pic of a pooey diaper. I just accidentally opened the file. Still gross #digitaldad #

Round two of Napaggedon has begun. #

Screams of bloody murder are connected to the broken cries which are connected to the jibber-jabbing which are connected to being zonked out #

"If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?" - T.S. Eliot #

It figures: the boys have been in bed for a couple of hours now, yet I'm dinking around. Strategic mistake or strategic awesomeness? #

Nearly 2 hours of basketball makes a good morning. #

Better than the CG mall. #AKAwalmart #

Both of the toes of Parker's socks are wet. He may be a little obsessed. #

Let the wild rumpus begin! #

It's nice not being the only person in the house with poor fine motor skills. #

The twins are getting their first round of sugar plums as of 6:30. #

Apparently carrots aren't as poisonous as oatmeal. Go figure. #

Five little days until my paternity leave starts... I've been trying out my new phrase, "See ya in April!" #

Ok, 5 days may be a stretch. I'll be lucky to make it through today. #

Good Mornin' ladies and gentlemen, I'll be your zombie today. Looks like we'll be crusin' at about 3.5 hours of sleep. Enjoy the ride. #

The positive side of being so distractable today is that every idea I have is a good idea. #

Too bad about the Rose & Thistle in Eugene: http://t.co/Q4exjDbt #

Owen is our official carrot sprayer unit. #

One more day. #

Nice to see CG and the Ducks represented well: http://t.co/j18OJ1EZ, nice work, Grant. #

6 Periods to go! #

5 Periods! #

4 Periods! #

1 more period. #

...and done. #

Smoking half a barnyard with my dad. If you can fit into an Old McDonald song, we're probably smoking it. #

There's like coming home to have both twins take a nap on me. #twinirvana #

Haven't had 2 things since 1am: power and sleep. They're predicting another 3 hours at least. #

A marathon day. #paternityleave #

The twins have timed up their napping with when my coffee is ready--that's usually when they refuse to stay down. #paternityleave #

Best part of being home today: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is on #paternityleave #

5.5 mile walk today to buy shoes and socks for the twin-folk. Beautiful day today. #paternityleave #

A very successful basil-lemon chicken and couscous #

Problem with eating couscous; after cleaning up & putting the boys to bed, I found brown lil' booger-looking objects. To taste them or not? #

Hard to believe, the Twinlings are 8 months old today. I remember when we still had to wait 8 months for them to be born. #paternalleave #

The twin-folk are stuffed up and coughy, which makes them fantastic sleepers in 18 minute bouts, all night long #paternityleave #

My last dream of the night was me as a student in high school. Michael Keaton was running for student body president. #

Apparently fried eggs cook quicker on the "on" burner. I blame @altonbrown for never covering that topic with a puppet. #goodtweets #

A great 6 mile walk today with the twinlings. #paternityleave #

end of the day: I'm covered in snot, coated in drool and splattered with half eaten food... and only some of belongs to me #paternityleave #

What a mistake to accidentally stumble onto the Viking website. Jess may need to get another job so I can outfit a kitchen properly #

Another wild rumpus of a night: Twinlings sleeping, Jess grading, turnips, potatoes, avacado, and cauliflower smashed into babyfood #yawnuts #

Wait, wait, wait. I was never informed that paternity duties start at 5:30am. Where's my contract? #paternityleave #

Currently it's just me and the woobly pengin hanging out in the living room/ #naptime #paternityleave #twinning #

Much like the adage of buttered toast: reaching for a fully loaded diaper on floor, you always find the worst part first. #paternityleave #

It's hard watching Jess go to work in the morning, mostly because I'm in bed and my eyes haven't adjusted to the light. #

Drink my ovaltine? What a crock. #

These babies are noobs. They open 2 gifts each and they needed a nap. Judging by the pile of presents, it'll take 4 days to open them all #

Parker has all the toys he wants, but the curtain is much more entertaining #

Go figure: with 10.5 hours of sleep, I'm down-right productive. #

The problem with making potstickers is as soon as they are done, they're gone #

All the potstickers have been cooked, and for some inexplicable reason, I feel full. #

No one but The Shins to keep me company at work #winterbreaking #

Who has 4 thumbs and are asleep in their cribs at 5:50pm? Our twins. #

Nap-time forecast: muffled laughter, followed by voice eroding screaming, then intermittent crying and finally sleep later int he day #

A while ago, we had an issue where we needed to take a pic of a pooey diaper. I just accidentally opened the file. Still gross #digitaldad #

Better than the CG mall. #AKAwalmart #

Both of the toes of Parker's socks are wet. He may be a little obsessed. #

Five little days until my paternity leave starts... I've been trying out my new phrase, "See ya in April!" #

Ok, 5 days may be a stretch. I'll be lucky to make it through today. #

Good Mornin' ladies and gentlemen, I'll be your zombie today. Looks like we'll be crusin' at about 3.5 hours of sleep. Enjoy the ride. #

The positive side of being so distractable today is that every idea I have is a good idea. #

Too bad about the Rose & Thistle in Eugene: http://t.co/Q4exjDbt #

Is there a sound worse than a baby grinding his teeth? #

Put down a 4 mile walk with the boys today. Saw ducks, walked across 2 bridges. And I was the only one awake the whole time #paternityleave #

These babies ate so happy all the time, it's a paradigm shift for me; kinda refreshing #paternityleave #

Five mile walk today with GG, followed by an appetizing lunch of mashed carrots and whirled prunes #paternityleave #

In bed by 8:14(pm!), who woulda thunk it. #parentingforthewin #

A day that started out miserably ended perfectly with a walk in the rain with the boys to walk their mama home from work. #paternityleave #

I don't know what crazy Friday night plans y'all in the midst of, but i just took a shot... At starting my taxes and making baby food #

Up at 5 'til 5 with the rising Parker. #

Is there a sound worse than a baby grinding his teeth? #

Put down a 4 mile walk with the boys today. Saw ducks, walked across 2 bridges. And I was the only one awake the whole time #paternityleave #

These babies ate so happy all the time, it's a paradigm shift for me; kinda refreshing #paternityleave #

Not sure a day gets better than this. #paternityleave #menadmyboys #twinning #

I think I'd be grumpy too if I had pooed on my own shoulders. #paternityleave #crappy story #

New toys be damned, apparently the couch pillows are the most exciting thing we have. #paternityleave #addittothexmaslist #

Five mile walk today with GG, followed by an appetizing lunch of mashed carrots and whirled prunes #paternityleave #

In bed by 8:14(pm!), who woulda thunk it. #parentingforthewin #

If today was a car, it would only have 2 wheels left due to blow outs #paternityleave #

I guess I bought a round trip ticket on today's cranky train #paternityleave #

After Twinpocalypse, Hurricane O and P are in their respective cribs. #Paternityleave #

Apparently Owen sprouted two more teeth overnight, alas, Parker sprouted more drool. #

Doing my part for the Duck win by staying home, O'fer on the road. #rosebowl #

Wait, wait, wait. I was never informed that paternity duties start at 5:30am. Where's my contract? #paternityleave #

Much like the adage of buttered toast: reaching for a fully loaded diaper on floor, you always find the worst part first. #paternityleave #

It's hard watching Jess go to work in the morning, mostly because I'm in bed and my eyes haven't adjusted to the light. #

Drink my ovaltine? What a crock. #

These babies are noobs. They open 2 gifts each and they needed a nap. Judging by the pile of presents, it'll take 4 days to open them all #

Parker has all the toys he wants, but the curtain is much more entertaining #

Go figure: with 10.5 hours of sleep, I'm down-right productive. #

The problem with making potstickers is as soon as they are done, they're gone #

All the potstickers have been cooked, and for some inexplicable reason, I feel full. #

Five little days until my paternity leave starts... I've been trying out my new phrase, "See ya in April!" #

Ok, 5 days may be a stretch. I'll be lucky to make it through today. #

Good Mornin' ladies and gentlemen, I'll be your zombie today. Looks like we'll be crusin' at about 3.5 hours of sleep. Enjoy the ride. #

The positive side of being so distractable today is that every idea I have is a good idea. #

There's like coming home to have both twins take a nap on me. #twinirvana #

Haven't had 2 things since 1am: power and sleep. They're predicting another 3 hours at least. #

A marathon day. #paternityleave #

The twins have timed up their napping with when my coffee is ready--that's usually when they refuse to stay down. #paternityleave #

Best part of being home today: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is on #paternityleave #

5.5 mile walk today to buy shoes and socks for the twin-folk. Beautiful day today. #paternityleave #

A very successful basil-lemon chicken and couscous #

Problem with eating couscous; after cleaning up & putting the boys to bed, I found brown lil' booger-looking objects. To taste them or not? #

Hard to believe, the Twinlings are 8 months old today. I remember when we still had to wait 8 months for them to be born. #paternalleave #

The twin-folk are stuffed up and coughy, which makes them fantastic sleepers in 18 minute bouts, all night long #paternityleave #

My last dream of the night was me as a student in high school. Michael Keaton was running for student body president. #

Apparently fried eggs cook quicker on the "on" burner. I blame @altonbrown for never covering that topic with a puppet. #goodtweets #

A great 6 mile walk today with the twinlings. #paternityleave #

end of the day: I'm covered in snot, coated in drool and splattered with half eaten food... and only some of belongs to me #paternityleave #

What a mistake to accidentally stumble onto the Viking website. Jess may need to get another job so I can outfit a kitchen properly #

Another wild rumpus of a night: Twinlings sleeping, Jess grading, turnips, potatoes, avacado, and cauliflower smashed into babyfood #yawnuts #

ATTN: @Jaegerwells Decided that @saturatedpratt @ghentmills and I need some cheap tickets into DFW for a weekend #pratttatinhand #upperthigh #

How long can a tantrum be paused for? Apparently, 6.1 miles. #paternityleave #

There's like coming home to have both twins take a nap on me. #twinirvana #

Haven't had 2 things since 1am: power and sleep. They're predicting another 3 hours at least. #

A marathon day. #paternityleave #

The twins have timed up their napping with when my coffee is ready--that's usually when they refuse to stay down. #paternityleave #

Best part of being home today: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is on #paternityleave #

5.5 mile walk today to buy shoes and socks for the twin-folk. Beautiful day today. #paternityleave #

A very successful basil-lemon chicken and couscous #

Problem with eating couscous; after cleaning up & putting the boys to bed, I found brown lil' booger-looking objects. To taste them or not? #

Hard to believe, the Twinlings are 8 months old today. I remember when we still had to wait 8 months for them to be born. #paternalleave #

The twin-folk are stuffed up and coughy, which makes them fantastic sleepers in 18 minute bouts, all night long #paternityleave #

My last dream of the night was me as a student in high school. Michael Keaton was running for student body president. #

Apparently fried eggs cook quicker on the "on" burner. I blame @altonbrown for never covering that topic with a puppet. #goodtweets #

A great 6 mile walk today with the twinlings. #paternityleave #

end of the day: I'm covered in snot, coated in drool and splattered with half eaten food... and only some of belongs to me #paternityleave #

What a mistake to accidentally stumble onto the Viking website. Jess may need to get another job so I can outfit a kitchen properly #

Another wild rumpus of a night: Twinlings sleeping, Jess grading, turnips, potatoes, avacado, and cauliflower smashed into babyfood #yawnuts #

Hey! Checkout the revamped CWW Designs page: http://t.co/5iPS8HNi ! #artforkids #

It took half of my repertoire of the Beatles and James Taylor to get Owen to sleep tonight. #paternityleave #

The twins woke up from their afternoon nap to nap on the couch. #paternityleave #nappinglikeapro #

A day that started out miserably ended perfectly with a walk in the rain with the boys to walk their mama home from work. #paternityleave #

Is there a sound worse than a baby grinding his teeth? #

Put down a 4 mile walk with the boys today. Saw ducks, walked across 2 bridges. And I was the only one awake the whole time #paternityleave #

Five mile walk today with GG, followed by an appetizing lunch of mashed carrots and whirled prunes #paternityleave #

In bed by 8:14(pm!), who woulda thunk it. #parentingforthewin #

If today was a car, it would only have 2 wheels left due to blow outs #paternityleave #

I guess I bought a round trip ticket on today's cranky train #paternityleave #

After Twinpocalypse, Hurricane O and P are in their respective cribs. #Paternityleave #

Apparently Owen sprouted two more teeth overnight, alas, Parker sprouted more drool. #

What's more fun than a grumpy baby? Two grumpy babies. #

Dateline: Cottage Grove -- Twins have their first solids: Oatmeal. Owen couldn't be more excited, Parker couldn't be more disgusted #

It's official, we've got a pair of big boys: Owen = 21 lbs.(90%ile) , 27" (80%ile) Parker: 23 lbs. (100%ile), 27.5" (85%ile) at 6 mos #

Parker full-on laughing in his sleep? Cutest thing ever? Or the Cutest thing ever? #

Cilantro-lime shrimp with a basil chayote salad and rice. Yeah, good. #

Time to stop shaving: Welcome to Decembeard. #

There is a devistating lack of breakfast burritos at my desk. #

There aren't enough situations in the day where a Dick Dale soundtrack would be effectively used. #
