Long time coming

Sorry folks... ive been MIA for awhile... its been a little hectic and frankly I havent really felt like blogging... We have had some family stuff going on (nothing with me and mine) but it has been taking a lot of energy. Also my beautiful wife is pregnant, so my immediate family with be getting a little larger come November. Thats my excuse and im sticking to it.

I will try and be a little more regular with my posting.

2 weeks

you know... its really strange how fast time goes by... its been over 2 weeks since my last post and i really dont know where the time went... my life is probably a lot like everyone else's... i go to work, come home and spend time with my family, rinse, repeat... now im not saying this is bad... quite the opposite actually, but time seems to really fly by. 2 weeks ago we went to my parents.. pretty boring, but nice to see them. 2 weeks ago, my daughter started swimming lessons.... she is a fish... loves the water and isnt afraid to be in the pool...

1 week ago we went out with our neighbors... i dont know about you... but having neighbors that you like and hang out with is nice... you dont have to worry about being spiteful and petty... anyway we went to dinner and then bowling... oh yea... and driking a boat load of beer at ye old bowling alley... truly a good time, other than the fact that my wife wouldnt get my tacos after, but hey i lived. sunday morning brought a beauty of headache... i assume this to be a side affect of the aforementioned bowling alley beer...but it appears that it wasnt completely the cause... apparently i had a sweet sinus infection that i finally broke down and went to the doctor the tuesday after... exactly 1 week ago...

last weekend my lovely wife decided that we (I) should paint the kitchen, living room, and hallways... i hate painting so i was not that thrilled by this, but happy wife, happy life. my father-in-law came down to help me out, which is great, because he loves to do all of the trim work... the painting is all done, and i will admit it looks nice... i just have have a sore body now... especially my knee... i think its broke.

anyway its that time of year again when all of the good sports are done... im really not a baseball fan unless im at the game, so i just need to keep my head above water until football kicks back up.

thats all i got for now... i will try and come up with something better.

oh yeah... fuck florida... i hate the gators.

Holy Shit

somethings amiss in Iowa.... i get to work today and find out that the ISU head basketball coach,Wayne Morgan got canned last night... now for most of you this doesnt mean much, but its a pretty big shock to me and im sure many of the people in this state. ISU's b-ball program seems to be in a little bit of disarray and it seems that the AD just dropped a nuke on it... I guess we will have to see how this all pans out, but for now im a little unsure.

Happy St. Pattys day! may you drink too much and puke on your shoes!

Its madness i tell you

I have dont exactly shit this morning... i have been at a conference for the last 2 days and now i have to sort through all the stuff i have missed. on top of that the ncaa tournament started... and i have a tv in my office... so im pretty well done for the day!

other than that my life is pretty boring... nothing really new going on. had company last weekend and am going to my parents this weekend. considering there is nothing to do at my parents, i will watch a ton of basketball and maybe pawn my baby off on the grandparents and hit a movie with the wife. if anything exciting happens i will keep you informed.

drink lots tomorrow and watch basketball... how can you really go wrong with a holiday that promotes drinking and one of the greatest sporting events in the world falling together!

WOW

I know i havent been around for awhile, but let me tell you... these last couple of weeks truly without a doubt sucked some huge balls... most likely the worst 2 weeks i have had in the 3 years that i have been with the company. I had a project due on friday that was actually 4 projects rolled into 1 big pile of shit. i worked a lot last week, and to tell you the truth i didnt like it one bit. its over for now... the submittal is done and to the city for review, now i can try and get the rest of the shit caught up and wait to hear back from the city as to all of the changes that need to be made.

anyway on friday it was our 3 year anniversary here at work, so after the shitstorm the bosses took us the bar to celebrate... it was fun, i hadnt been to the bar in awhile so we ended up heading to Hooters for dinner. you have to love hotters chicken wings, i know i do.

other than that i spent the weekend with my family since i hadnt seen them in a few days, and now im back at work to catch up on the shit. i hope everyone has a decent week, cause im not sure i will.
