Woah!

For a while I was making a relatively decent attempt at keeping this site updated and then boom! My time got sucked away.

Let’s hit the details

1. We’re buying a house and should move in by the end of the month (as soon as the mortgage company gets their act together)

2. Jessica [...]

Change can be painful

Since the beginning of the year we’ve seen a few changes in the world. The people of Egypt decided they weren’t happy with the status quo and “removed” their president. In Libya, some of the people are getting the crap bombed out of them for wanting a new leader. I did say some because [...]

The BIG update

Presented in chronological order

January 10 – 2011

Jessica called me this morning. The first words out of her mouth “I’m pregnant.” Woah! That is one hell of a way to start a morning. We talked for a bit and I assured her that I was excited. In fact, I’ve had a hard time not smiling all day long. I am so happy about this. It’s going to be a bumpy nine months but I can’t wait for it. She told her best friend, Cassy, the good news and is holding off on telling more people the news until she gets official word from the doc. Life as we know it is definitely going to be different.

I’m going to be a dad.

Wow…
definitely pregnant

Healthcare – here we go again

A battle over who to blame for rising health-care costs is escalating, as groups seek to pin the problem on each other and say none of the health-care legislation under consideration does enough to solve it.U.S. spending on health care reached $2.5 trillion in 2009, according to federal estimates. It is expected to jump [...]

Stuck

A few days ago I left on another trip and to be the “fixer.” We did what we had to and I put some stuff on a pallet. We thought that we were going to get out today but it wasn’t meant to be. I’m stuck here for yet another day but at least [...]

Video clip of the day

I heard a quote from the clip below and laughed out loud. When I came home I was delighted to find the video… and see that there was more too it. I love fruitcakes because they make our nation extremely amusing. Watch and enjoy.

40 days

I’ve got 40 days to become the ultimate know it all. The test has been looming over my head for a year and I’ve got to buckle down, stop goofing around on the internet, stop goofing around watching TV, and stop goofing around writing useless blog posts (for the most part) so I can [...]

The drivers outside are frightful

The weather over the next few days is the last of my worries. What worries me is my need to get around when the roads are full other people. The forecast calls for 6-20 inches of additional snow and we’ve still not seen a snowplow head down our street. The traffic has made a [...]

Fireside chats

President Elect Obama released his first “fireside” chat that can be viewed below in its entirety.

It sounds like Jessica and I were correct in the belief that we would see a shift from the military industrial complex to civic works and green energy. I think these are both going to be [...]

Scapegoat

I don’t like Sarah Palin and I probably never will. I don’t think she’s qualified to manage a McDonalds. Many republicans have changed their opinion of the former VP candidate. In fact – she might be the scapegoat of the campaign. She polarized my opinion as I know Hillary might have if she [...]
