Day 37: Great Day


Day 37: Great Day

I weeded the yard, mowed half the lawn and scrubbed the kitchen floor. I also let the bread machine make dough, and then wrapped up hot dogs and baked them. The kids loved them. Then I made bread sticks with the left over dough, and had them with spaghetti for dinner. I had a good time playing ball in the yard after dinner, and finally read a book to my two year old. The weather was fantastic today.

We celebrated a coworkers birthday today at a mexican restaurant. I just nibbled on some chips as I'm really motivated on getting my weight as low as I can before my mom comes to visit. We had all the staff come over and do the birthday song/routine for this guy while I video'd it, soon to be on YouTube. Muahahahaha.

It's been a long road from 240, but I finally broke 200 today. Still a bit to go, but at least I broke past this big milestone.

I was hoping to capture some lightning in the background so I set the camera to take a 15 second exposure. I didn't get lightning in any of my shots though.

I got rid of the second dead bush in the front and replaced it with some St. John's Wart. It's looking much better now.

I did a lot of yard work today. The big thing was mowing the lawn because I cut it real short which ended up causing me to empty the bag a lot.

The pool is much better now, it just need a little bit more cleaning but looks good now.

Soooo sunburned

Zach and Jackie had a daughter they named Reagan.

Day 15: Company Party


Day 15: Company Party
Originally uploaded by Qfamily.
Took the family to a company party thing today. I got to show them the control room, noc, data center, and my desk. Kids played in the bounce house, I had a veggie burger, and I picked up a couple company branded water (sport) bottles. Good fun, and it didn't rain.

It turns out that I -AM- allergic to the fabric softener after all. Today is day three of my hives and I hate every minute of it. It's a lot of pain beyond the itching. Tomorrow I'm going to be spending rewashing all my clothes. I'm wearing this particular shirt because I know it hasn't touched the fabric softener.

It's finally the end of the week. I found out that It's not the fabric softener that I am allergic to, but this green tea at work. Crazy. It's time to attempt to catch up on some sleep that I didn't get last night.

Today, Zach and Jackie had their baby. Congrats to them!

I got to add chlorine to the pool that's filled with some sediment, I assume rust from the city water supply. Hopefully I'll have this all cleaned up and ready to go before it gets really hot out.

Not much today. I'm on call this week so I have to be ready to drive into work to fix stuff on a moments notice. Got the pool up last night. Wow there is a lot of crap in the water supply. I'm shocking, cleaning, and otherwise working on the pool this week. Grass needs to be cut badly.

Today it rained the entire day. At least it let up a bit while I went to check the mail. That's the nice thing about having Netflix. I check the mail much more often and find that I forget about bills less. Yes, I am in my P.J.'s.

Day 8: Sad Dad Bad Had

Very, very sad.
He had a bad day.
What a day Dad had!

I mistakenly renewed my wifes registration thinking it was my own. I was just waiting for my stickers to arrive in the mail. As fate would have it, at 7:30 am, -THE DAY- my registration expired, I was pulled over and had to get a tow because the officer cannot allow non registered vehicles on the road. I was given a warning, called in late for work, and my wife picked me up and got me to the RMV to renew. $41 for the registration and $90 for the tow (literally two blocks away). The towing company even waived the storage fee saving me $30. I'm so lucky!
