WTF of the day
Seriously? An elephant addicted to heroin? WTF?!?
Weight
I’ve pretty much let myself slip over the past few months and I ballooned to nearly 260 pounds. I’m trying to do a better job of monitoring it now and I’ve dropped a pound in the last week and a half, in spite of spending a week in Florida with my future grandmother-in-law who cooks…
And…I’m done
It’s 5:15am on Saturday, August 9, 2008. Other than breaks for lunch, dinner, and an appointment with my therapist, I’ve been working since around 9:45am yesterday. I’m tired. I’ve got to be up and ready to leave for Chicago in just over 4 hours. I still have to drive to my house from Newmark. But…I…
A new beginning
Most of you know that I typically play things pretty close to the vest. That is why I haven’t posted previously about starting a new job on August 18. Yesterday, I signed the official offer letter and accepted the position of Network Analyst with the Office of Information Management in the College of Business at…
A flurry of activity
I’ve been very busy lately. The schedule seems to be constantly packed, time seems to be flying by, and I always seem to be tired. The jobs are going…not well, but they’re going. My full-time job has finally broken me. I’m tired of fighting. I deal with their crap simply so that I won’t be…
Awesome Bar
I downloaded Firefox 3 today, both at home and at work, as part of the “Let’s set a world record for the number of downloads in a 24 hour period” campaign that coincided with the release of version 3. Everything I had read about the fact that you’d either love or hate the so-called “Awesome…
Why we fart…
After dinner, Daniel and I went to the bathroom to urinate and wash our hands. I farted and said excuse me. Daniel responded, “Daddy, you farted because you have to poop because your butt thoughted it was morning!” I laughed so hard. I do typically go to the bathroom in the morning, which made this…
Kids say the darndest things
I heard Daniel making some frustrated grunting noises a few minutes ago. I looked over and he was trying to put his t-shirt on over his pajama shirt. I said “You didn’t take your pajama shirt off first, you don’t wear two shirts at the same time.” His response? “But you do!” He had me…
Our Engagement Story
In early May, Emily and I went ring shopping, mainly just to look. We had discussed the topic of marriage several times and were both in agreement that we were looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together. We started to go into Helzberg Diamonds. Emily looked around and said “Good, I don’t…
