So I get over the bronchitis/flu, whatever it was that I had and I get a tooth infection. I hate having a tooth ache but when you throw in a swollen face to boot, I really don’t like it. So I made an emergency trip to the dentist today for some antibiotics and a few pain pills and next week I will be subject to yet another extraction.
In other news, I got some new books to review. I just finished one of them up tonight and I am currently reading the other, plus trying to write the review for the first one! Oh and I won this really cool Life Application Study Bible from ACM. I like it a lot. As a matter of fact I like it so much that it replaced the one I had been carrying to church. I really enjoy the format that is used and the study helps are awesome.
Anyway, I need to go take a pain pill and catch some sleep, I didn’t get much last night due to the pain and swollen face!
We took the girls out Sunday night to see the Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of both worlds show. It’s filmed in Disney digital 3D. It was a lot of fun for the girls and I enjoyed it myself. Of course I am such a music junkie that it was inevitable that I would. The 3D made it more lifelike and the backstage and behind the scenes shots were really cool.
I must say that Miley is really talented and I envy her energy level. She has a promising career ahead of her. I just hope she doesn’t fall into the same trap that a lot of successful musicians fall into. I think Billy Ray will see to that though.
I am soooo tired now. I have had a full day, the longest birthday day for me ever. I am outta here, see ya on the flip!
My host moved me to a new server. I am hoping this cures or at least minimizes the down time. It has been darn hard to get on here lately and that really gets irritating for me. At any rate we will see how this new server does and if all else fails I will have to up a switch hosts again. I really don’t want to do that, but if I gotta I gotta.
In other news…
Wait, there is no other news.
Man my life is boring!
Alright, so I was wrong, I didn’t post anything of use. Well nothing all that interesting has happened anyway. I wake up, I eat, I go to work, I come home, I go to sleep. Whew stop this crazy rollercoaster, I want off.
Life has been pretty boring lately, that or I haven’t been very attentive. I guess it could be either one. I did try a couple of new food items which I plan on reviewing soon. I figure I might as well write about all the fun I am having with my new diet. I have found things that I had no idea they would ever make organic. For instance, did you know they make organic beer? I had no idea, thats for sure. If I ever find some of it, I am going to try it! For purely scientific reasons mind you.
I have got to get to bed. I need my daily dose of tossing and turning.
Well, school is back in session tomorrow, while I would love to say I am happy about that, I’m not really. It has been awesome to have some time with my girls. That is just something I don’t normally get while they are in school since I work second shift. Sure they might drive me crazy once in awhile and I have very little free time when they are out of school but those are sacrifices that I am willing to make. Getting to bond with the two coolest little girls around, and having time with my wife since she took vacation too, it was great.
On the semi-bright side, I will be able to blog more again, but is that really a worthwhile thing? Being there when my girls need me, that is worthwhile! Holding their hands in mine, playing games, those are the things that make the day a lot brighter. I may joke about their being the spawn of satan, but really, they are mine through and through. Good or bad, there is no denying that they have taken on some of my characteristics.
Desi can be as sweet as honey but turn bitter when things don’t quite work out the way she wanted. Anna, she is a brooder, she will sit and stew in her own juices until well done or just break down and cry for little or no reason. There are days when I can look at both of them and see a reflection of me at their age. Those are the days that can really hurt me too. I don’t want them to have to deal with things that I did, I want to get them through the rough patches without them being affected in a negative way. Sure we all have to learn life lessons, but I want to protect them from the harder ones if at all possible. I want the best for them and nothing less will do.
I really want to hold on to the times we share, you know, save time in a bottle, but my bottle lost it’s stopper a long time ago. Seems like some of the good stuff leaks out now. That is the reason I blog and photograph when all else fails I will still have these records to remind me of all the fun we had and all the troubles. To some my writing may seem mindless drivel but to me, it is priceless, something to hold together the strands of time so they don’t get away from me. Sometimes I feel like the guy chasing his kite down the beach, that string is just slightly out of reach, bobbing and weaving and trying to elude me at every twist and turn.
With that I bid you a good night may God bless you richly and eternally.
It’s parent-teacher conference time. I am sitting here trying to psych myself up for this. I never feel comfortable when I am there. I always feel like I did when I was in school and getting in trouble!
I do my very best to look attentive but I usually end up looking fidgety and nervous, I can’t help it though. It seems like every conference in my life has been a bad thing and now that they are for the girls I have been conditioned!
This does not bode well for anyone!
I am sitting here eating my supper. Yes I eat my supper at 12:45 at night, I work the late shift remember! Anyway, my wife made waffles and bacon for supper. I love waffles, but more importantly, I LOVE BACON!
I can eat large quantities of bacon. I can and I will unless someone holds me in check!
So anyway, I am sitting here eating my bacon and waffles and I notice something strange about the bacon. Not in a bad way, just different. First off, it is all very uniform in shape. Secondly it doesn’t quite taste the same. Don’t get me wrong, it tastes good, but again, different.
So I go on a quest to the garbage. I mean really, no bacon comes out all the same size and shape and all bacon tastes like, bacon! I had to dig, it’s obvious she is hiding something cause not only is it under some things I threw away this morning but when I find it it is turned upside down.
There it is, Hormel turkey bacon! You know, if this didn’t taste so good I would go in there and wake her up and give her a piece of my mind, but I don’t have any mind to spare at the moment.
I think there is a crack in my head and what little intelligence I have is leaking out! I need some duct tape or gorilla glue to seal this sucker up!
We have a large oven at work that we sue to bake some of the parts (don’t ask). Anyway it has a large timer with a very loud siren. When it went off tonight one of my co-workers went to shut it off and the switch slid inside the casing! He’s just standing there staring at it, I am laughing hysterically, and everyone else is wanting the siren to shut up!
More work stuff! We were at the desk, searching for a pen. We had a pen, we had used it several times throughout the night. We moved everything around, looking for that darn pen. Co-worker got tired of looking and went and got a handful of new pens. When he got back he picked up the paperwork he was getting ready to sign and the original pen was underneath it! I tell you we lifted that paperwork a few times and looked under it and it wasn’t there. I think it went to an alternate dimension temporarily just to screw with us.
