OOPS I DID IT AGAIN.........

That is right!! I am tipping the scales again. Not litterally. I just dont know what I am doing wrong to gain back the weight. ( No really, I do know what caused it). The fact of the matter is that I have stopped walking in the evenings and in its time slot, I have added the pure enjoyment of cookies and milk. Thus problem number one. At lunch time i used to go out and eat at Burger King at least once a month. That is probably ok. I think??? Now it is pretty common for me to hit Burger King twice a week. AAAHHHH HHHHHAAAAA!!!! This is my problem. Not only is the food going to my waistline, it is making my wallet toooo skinny. This makes it problem number two. The only other thing that I have a weakness for is that ole Dr. Pepper. A good conservative day of Pepper drinking will have swallowed some 44 ounces of the stuff. Thus leaving me only SLIGHTY WIRED, gasssy, and making many trips to the bathroom. Making my problem three fold. What is a gut to do? Or should I say what is a guy to do??? Since I have this great gym membership I will be going to the gym a little more often. I have got to lose some 13 pounds ( I know that it doesnt sound like much but what a pain in my butt, my legs, arms snd back)lol. As the exercise commences, I will keep everyone updated on my progress. Wish me luck to a short but successful weight loss program. Can I have just one cookie before going to bed? Pretty PPPLLLEASE!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOLIE!!

I just wanted to wish my little girl a Happy Birthday!!! Her birthday was on the 18th and she turned 10 years old. She said something funny the night before and said "dad- I am now a decade old!!!" Boy was she proud!!! Boy do I feel old!!!!! lol Friday night we took her to Bounce U with some of best friends and had a great party. The pictures that we took are still on the camera and unfortunatly the camera program is still on the old and unfixable computer. Does anyone know of a good computer company? We will have to post pics when the new computer is purchased. Jolie I love you very much and I am proud to have you as my daughter!!! You definately make me laugh!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOLIE!!!!!

Families do strange things

It has been a bummer kind of week. Several events have occured in my parents family that has left me wondering if I still claimed as one of there own. It starts out that I get a call from my mother sharing with me the birth of a boy to my brother and his wife. I am excited for them and happy for them. the problem that I am faced with is that my brother still has not called me to share with me the great news. In fact two years ago with news of their last baby, I was told that I was not permitted to participate in the baby blessing. Well, I feel that this is going to be a repeat of the same thing. Being told that I am not allowed to participate is looming over my head like some big black cloud ready to dump whatever on my head.

My father as some of my closest friends know is in a strange place. Another phone call from my mother informs me that dad is not doing well and was found passed out on the floor for the second time in a week. His blood sugar levels so low that it took three people to help him eat something. The scary part is that the next time he might not be so lucky. I do worry for him.

MY bil and his wife were over along with us at lauries parents house. It was a get together to just have a get together. The conversation came up their oldest daughter is going to Austria to study some composer that was from there. Another bil and his wife were there also at the dinner table. As the conversation went, the first bil stated that the school is looking for tax deductible donations to help in funding the trip. It was asked to the parents in law, and the second bil. I was not asked to participate or to help with this. A big SLAP to my pride!!! As most of you know, I will help anyone in need. And not to be asked hurt alot.

I want to apoliogize to those who read this and find it depressing. I am truly sorry if it distracts from the hapiness that you are having in your lives. It feels that i am not important enough to warrant or share in other peoples happiness or am I to blame for what people are going through that is making there lives miserable. Feeling really down and miserable.

Mordern Technology

I want to apologize for not being more up to date with my posting. The main computer at home went down and it has made our lives revert back to what seems to be the dark ages. We seem so lost without the computer. We have to get another mother board for it and in hopes that is all that is wrong with it. In the meantime I am using the computer at work to catch up on emails and other stuff. Hard to post things when the computer one is using really doesnt belong to me.

As a side note on the FIL boat, I got running and we took it out on the lake last weekend. We had a some of Jolies friends with us and everyone had a great time. There is still a couple of minor things that I need to do with the boat to make it much more fun. One of the minor things is to find the leak. Yes the boat was taking on water!!! SS Titanic sort of thing. We pulled the boat out of the water, drained the many gallons and went back out on the lake. Despite the setback everything else was good.

Hope every one has a good week!!
