Great Wednesday morning on the East Side of town.  I know that everyone has to work but sometimes I would rather stay home with my kids and hang out.  They are too young right now to understand how much I love them and that I have to go to work.  I get sad seeing them at the breakfast table eating while I get on my coat and walk out the door.  I hope that someday they will understand that I work to provide.

It is that time of year

Christmas is right around the corner.  This is a time where everyone is trying to finish things up before the new year and cram in as much shopping as possible.  I like to take a step back and reflect over the next few weeks.  What did I accomplish?  What could I have done better?  How can I improve for next year?  This truly is the time for giving, making time for your family.  Give to those that do not have much.  I try to devote time to volunteer but I always wish I had more time.  I know I was part of a few meals, some soup kitchens, and donated some toys for kids but I am going to make an effort this coming year to do more.  Spend less time on the couch and more time giving back.

Happy Holidays

November 1 2011

Wow I can not believe that it is already November.  Two more months left in the 2011 year.  Where does the time go?  Always so busy I think I need to find more time to relax and smell the flowers.  Work is still going very well, I have slowed down my travels significantly.  I have not traveled by plane in over two months.  Figures, so close to the next mileage milestone and I stop. 

Anyway, things are still going great, kids are getting so big so fast and I really do not like home improvements.

So What Happened Over the Weekend

1) Went to local High School football game where JES and his team were introduced and met some of the local Varsity team.  Very cool!  I know JES enjoyed himself.  Then went out for ice cream.  That is always a fan favorite.
2) Took JES to his football game where he grabbed 8 flags and scored two touch downs.  1 rushing and 1 receiving.  Relaxed and watched College football the rest of the day where MKS fell asleep next to me...very precious.
3) Went out with the G's to the new Crop Bistro.  Very open and pretty decent vibe.  I thought the food was OK and the wine list was par.  I don't really know why everyone was giddy about this but whatever.  I had a better time with the company than the restaurant itself.  First time at ABC Tavern.  I have to say the vibe there was pretty awesome!  Ended up going home about midnight and having a good night sleep.

Already Monday

Wow this weekend went by  pretty fast.  Friday has a little get together with some high school friends and Saturday went out with ERK for the official 20 year reunion get together.  I will say that there are some people that have changed over the past 20 years and then there are some that have not.  Seems that there are a lot of folks that live in the area and somehow I never see them.  I did get a few phone numbers and hope to re-connect with a few but we'll see.

Also, I am not sure why but I started the Insanity program today.  I think I already know why they call it that.  I'm doomed!
