- A Memorial Day to Forget
As predicted, this morning was pretty rough following last night’s volleyball extravaganza. I’m pulling through. Thanks for all the flowers, cards and well-wishes for my speedy recovery. My team of doctors are cautiously optimistic.
Pretty crazy day, emotionally, for me. I woke feeling like crap with an immeasurable to-do list engraved on my brain. I never [...] - Bump, Set, Spike
My 17 year old brother-in-law invited me to play volleyball with his friends tonight. They’ve been having huge games every Sunday night from 8pm to 10pm in their backyard. They usually have about 20 kids show up, so they split into three teams and play round robin. Never, in my 28 years have I felt [...]
- You Got Me…
I know I broke my own “no politics” rule, but I just had to. Gore makes me laugh.
- A Summary Of Today
Al Gore proved to the world today just how radically insane he actually is. Let’s see if Kerry backs him up.
I got my new Merrel Waterfall Sandals from REI - my second pair. They’re wonderful. I’ve almost worn my first pair to the threads.
Jeopardy had two good categories tonight. “Camping” and “Pop Quiz” (basically a [...] - Zen and the Art of Auto Lube
I’m measuring the success of today - how great this day is going to be for me - by whether or not I can leave the house early enough to be the first person in line at the local $10 oil change place. If I am, wonderful. If I get there even 5 minutes late [...]
- Spittin’ Image?
This is our latest and hopefully final sonogram. I only say “hopefully” because any more sonograms at this point would most likely mean there is a problem - not that we wouldn’t love more sonograms.
For those out there that aren’t too good at seeing anything baby-related in sonogram photos, I’ll help you out here. You [...] - Lamaze Class I
Tonight, we went to our first Lamaze class. They are two hours long, for the next five Monday nights. I didn’t really know what to expect. “Everything I learned about Lamaze classes, I learned from watching TV and movies.” That’s pretty much what I knew going in there tonight. “Hoo hoo hoo, hah hah hah, [...]
- Lighten Up!
“I have been constantly asked, with a covert sneer, ‘Did it repay you?’ - a question which involves the assumption that one wants to be repaid, as though the labor were not itself part of the pleasure.”
// Sir Leslie Stephen
This quote is in reference to the sport of mountaineering the Alps in the late 19th [...] - The Home Despot
Well, things with Home Depot went about as well as I had expected they would… crappy. I called today at 1:30 since I hadn’t heard from them yet. The woman I needed to speak to, Heather, was out on her lunch break so I left my info for her to call me back. She calls [...]
- Nice Crib, Yo
Wow, so the crib came in today. We ordered it about 6 weeks ago and BuyBuy Baby called this afternoon to let us know it had arrived. I rolled up after work and loaded the very heavy box into my little green Hatchback from Hell. I’m always amazed at how much space that little Hyundai [...]
