  • After 37 Years I’ve Decided I’ll Never Amount To Much

    I’m into my 38th year now and I’m not annoyed with it, though I did think I was younger. I’ve met many people and got to know them pretty well. I looked to their advice because they were older than I and therefore they had more experience. My delusions were shattered when I found out…

  • Finding An Unexpected Opportunity and Letting Go of Another

    The need for a new opportunity grows Over the past few months I’ve been feeling the need to look for new employment. It’s not that I don’t like where I work. I really do, the people are great and I love working in the web. I have been working on the programming team for the…

  • Christmas is Over, We’re Done With Santa, When do I get My Nap?

    As you can imagine, the past few days have been busy. My basement is now a flood of toys, the kids are as hyper as ever and there’s so much junk food in my house I could start a used candy store. I don’t have enough room in my garbage can to throw away all…

  • Christmas is coming, Stress is rising, Something Has To Snap

    You know the feeling you get when everything feels like it’s crushing down on you? That’s me for the past few weeks. Something has to happen soon, or rather something will happen soon. I’m in a bad position though, I don’t know what the reason for this overwhelming pressure is. I know that I can’t…

  • Weight Watchers and a Dance Performance!

    I’ll preface this post by stating that not much of interest has happened this past week. However, I did get a few ads from Weight Watchers telling me that I should start their new Point Plus Program. They have a new weight loss program called Weight Watchers Points Plus Program that seems to be  a…

  • Thanksgiving would be better with bacon

    First of all, why isn’t bacon a traditional item at the Thanksgiving table? Lately I’ve seen ham worked onto the table, someone mentioned they do prime rib once and I have another friend who does chicken instead of turkey. If we’re going to mix it up, lets do it right. Next year I’m laying down…

  • … and that’s how many you are

    Let me start by clearing something up. In my previous post I spoke about the foster kids. What I said about them was meant in a nice way, though sarcasm doesn’t carry well over text. The boys are good kids and I do really like them. I want the best for them and that includes…

  • 4 Months of Kids – Make It Stop!

    I think we’ve had the kids for about three months now. I can’t be certain since time stopped the moment we got them. We’ve picked up some foster kids with the plan that we would have them for about 6 months. We’re 4 months into it now. Natalie and I can only hope the parents…

  • Up, Mackenzie’s first movie

    On Saturday June 20, 2009 Mackenzie saw her first movie. I’m a firm believer that no kids should ever be allowed in a theatre (theatre is not a typo, it’s how I roll). Kids ruin the experience and I don’t care how good your kid is in a theatre, if they enter the movie they…

  • Moab 2010

    I finally got a chance to get back down to Moab. I won a trip to stay at the Red Cliffs Lodge in Moab (actually just outside of Moab) and this weekend we took advantage of the opportunity. It turns out that the 4th of July weekend is not a popular time to go to…
