Quick Updates and Misc Stuff

Went to the Bloomsburg Fair on Sunday. It was JAMMED with people. I also have come to the realization that whenever the family is around together, I canNOT get near my Son. LOL. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining what-so-ever.....I think it's a beautiful thing how much they love him. And I don't have to change a poopy diaper.


This is the honest-to-God view of what I saw when my wife was changing him and I "tried" to help. I was physically pushed out of the way.


My niece was also INSIDE the car helping from that angle. I couldn't even get in there. Beautiful!


My wife made some killer burgers the other night. Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix, an egg, and some Italian Style Bread Crumbs. I, in turn, grilled them, grilled some bacon, melted BLEU CHEESE (not American) on them, and they were out of this world!!!


Oh, and Simon was at his FIRST breakfast before we went to the fair at our local restaurant. I can't wait until he knows how to use utensils. :)



So, other than that, nothing really too cool to write about. I just thought I'd share those little things. Because those little things to me are what make my life wonderful!

Hope to talk with you soon. Thanks for reading.

No Title....I'm not feeling creative

I know, I know. It's been awhile since a post has happened. I'm tired. Gimmie a break. :)

I still don't know what to write. Not really much has happened lately that's super interesting. Well, that's not quite true......some of the things that have happened I canNOT write here. If you really want to know, call me, or drop me an email. ;)

Let's go back a couple weeks. Labor Day weekend I believe it was, some family members were in town and were having a get together to have all the new children meet, and for the grown-ups to 'catch up'. Mindy and I had all intentions of going, but while I was on the air that Saturday morning, something decided to get into my stomach, and, well, I won't go into detail here. Needless to say, we couldn't make it up to Scranton that day for the reunion. I don't think I would have made it that far in the car.
I feel bad because they were all looking forward to ALL of us getting together. They even made a "welcome to the world" cake for all the kids.

Again, if my family is reading this...my apologies. God had other plans for me that day I guess.

This past Saturday, 9/18/10, a group of friends of mine and Mindy and Simon all went to those twin bridges in Forks, PA for a picnic. Remember this?

We had a BLAST. So much food, like homemade chicken wings (garlic & honey), potato salad, cheezeburgers, hotdogs, and of course, I fired up one of the charcoal grills and cooked up about ten million bbq spare ribs.

Simon actually had a good time too. He LOVED the attention he got from everyone.






We had a bocci (sp?) ball tournament, on uneven ground, with holes, and I haven't laughed that hard in awhile.

On a different note.....I was on my bike Tuesday, and had to pull over because I noticed this:

Since the beginning of May, I've traveled 3000 miles on my bike. Wow. The cool thing, there's still MUCH MORE riding this season before I have to lock her up in the barn for the winter.

Anyway, that's pretty much it for now. Work is starting to pick up a LOT, so I better stop slacking and get back to it. Thanks for reading. Thanks for listening to Magic 93.

Find something to be grateful for today......even if it's just that you're verticle, above the grass, and still sucking wind.

What It Is!!

I don't know. I've just been kind of 'existing' lately. Up one day, down the next day. I don't even know what to write/blog/share etc. So, random time.

Today (Wed 9/1/10) is Simon's second day of daycare. He's handling it well. I'm handling it well (except for the $$ part...ugh, it's a second mortgage)....but my wife is NOT handling it well. I can understand too. She's been with him 24/7 for 2 and a half months. It's hard to have some 'stranger' take care of him all day. But, as with everything, time will help the hurt. (And so will this face when we pick him up at the end of the day)

Summer is almost over. And I'm thrilled about this. I LOVE autumn. The crispness. The colors. The smells. Plus that means one season closer to ice fishing. Yeah, I know, I need help.

It seems like I'm constantly going going going going going going. Get up, go to work, come home, help this one move, take out the garbage, cut the grass, clean this, pay that, go to bed. Get up, go to work, come home, change this diaper, feed the fish, cook dinner, etc. etc. etc. I cannot think of a day where there was absolutely NOTHING going on at that moment. I guess it's a good thing though, because if there was nothing going on, the Earth either will have been demolished, or I'd get up in my head, start thinking, and end up demolishing the Earth. Ha. At least in my own mind. Uh oh, getting in my head. Gotta get out of it. Time for a random, get out of my head, distraction.






OK, that's much better.



I'm trying to ride my motorcycle more. One, because it's fun. Two, because it saves on gas. I get GREAT gas mileage. But it's weird, because in the morning, it's freezing cold, so I layer up, and in the afternoon, it's bloody hot. And I don't have a LOT of room in my saddlebags for all the clothes I wore in the morning. So is it better to be chilly in the morning, or sweating to death in the afternoon? I vote for chilly in the morning. It keeps me awake (which is always a good thing on a bike), and more alert.

What kind of extra jobs can I do on the side to get a couple extra bucks, so we don't have to worry about Simon and daycare?

Our company here just told us we're not allowed to use Firefox anymore as our browser. We have to use IE. It's going to take me a long while to get used to using it. I don't like it. I never did. But, they sign my paychecks sooooooooooo.......




Oh well, I guess it's time to get back to work. I'm going to try and find some things to be grateful for today. I've been having a hard time having the gratitude just POP into my head. I need to make a conscience effort to do it. So, I'm grateful I have 10 fingers to be able to type all this out. That I have a job. That I have a health child. That I have a wonderful wife who's SuperMom! And many other things that I don't have time to type. Hopefully, you can find some gratitude today....and if it just POPS into your head....then I'm grateful you've got that today! Have a great Wednesday...thanks for reading, and thanks for listening to Magic 93.
