Baby, oh baby!

This weekend was the first of the baby showers. We got some cool stuff the cutest were these little shoes. So cute!!! I'm getting so excited!! It's so funny to think that I'm gonna be a daddy. I know I'm gonna be so protective yet I have to let her grow and explore just like I did.

more to come soon

No rest for the weary

The weekend is supposed to be for resting. Supposed to sleep late, well later than during the work week. My Saturdays are usually for my classes. Tai chi, kung fu and conditioning, BUT this weekend I had to finish moving out of my old house. Let me say it is very dusty, killed my allergies. Not a fun time since I had to go back later to get the stuff I forgot!! Of did I say that there was so much stuff that it took TWO trucks to get the stuff out. After watering the yard, playing with Toby the Wonder Dog AND cooking dinner it was time for bed.

Had to wake up EARLY again on Sunday but for a better reason. We went to the hospital for tour of the baby area and classes on what to expect when our little girl arrives. I will say I'm a big sap. Watching those videos of the litle babies brought tears to my eyes because I know in a couple of months I will be holding my little girl and wondering what the hell to do. I'm so excited AND scared all at the same time. Going to the hospital today made it all real. I see Venus getting bigger, knowing that our littl girl is growing BUT seeing the room and the little babies in the nursery made it so much more real to me. I know that when I see her for the first time I'm gonna ball like a little baby.

BTW one of my favorite movies is on right know, The Fifth Element












SUPER GREEN!!

Heavy boots of lead

I feel like I can't walk. My legs are sore, my low back is sore, my chest is sore, holy crap!!! The workout I did was my FIRST non-kung fu workout in about a year.

So to recap:

50 squats
50 push ups
50 window wipers holding a 50lb bar over head
2 sets for time

I did it in 8:16.01 at first i felt like I could have done better or should have done more, then I had the bright idea of having my class do the same workout. I did better than the two that did the workout, one quit not even half way through the other two hit 10 minutes. Woohoo!!! Both are under 20years old made me feel like a god. Then the pain set in this afternoon. It was hard to sit, hard to get out of chairs. Couldn't hold anything right and this was just 8 minutes of exercises!!! I thought about doubling it I am so glad I didn't.

Scary dream

I had a scary dream the other night. If you can call it a dream. I had just found out my Grandpa might have had a small heart attack in the recent past. I went into that dream state just before you fall asleep. Then...I started thinking...what if I had a heart attack? I actually felt a heaviness in my chest, tightness, pain. I started to panic. It was the catalyst to change my thinking. I need to change my diet, exercise more, think more about my health for my daughter. It's time to get my ass in gear. Hey, shit or get off the pot right.

On a roll

I'm tired of hearing of the AIG crap. Where are we living? If I start a new business and it fails can I run to a bank and ask for a handout? Oh, my company is failing because I spent more money than I have. Can you give me a loan so I can do it all again just a cavalier as before. These A-holes at AIG are spending OUR money on bonuses, freakin bonuses!!! Because it was written into thier contracts. Uh, if the govertment hadn't stepped in, you wouldn't have a job super-doucher. these guys should be kissing our feet for saving thier asses. I wonder... how many other companies that recieved a handout are doing the same?

I just got my AIG bonus. Yippie!!!!

Pics on the side

I've always been into taking pictures. A while back I was inspired to "show" my photos. So I started to upload to Flickr. i set this blog to show a slideshow of my pictures. I NEED to take more maybe I'll post here. If you like a picture let me know. Go to my Flickr to see more.

Selling my house

My house was "supposed" to be sold 4 months ago. But, I won't have a house payment and I'm unloading $70K+ off my debt. That will feel good. but i still need to get some stuff out. Couldn't sleep this weekend thinking of ALL the stuff that I still need to get out. Felt kinda weird moving most of my stuff out and seeing my life's accumulations in a storage unit. Felt like I was getting kicked out. Wish i could have sold it for more but this market sucks and I have a buyer, unlike some people who have thier houses sitting for months on the market. But it's finally over I get to breath now.

A blogging we will go...

Feels like forever since I've written a blog. Feels kinda good. I used to be faithful to my blog on MySpace but I gave up on it. Hopefully, no, I will be continue. Keep reading i know this will be a short post but i promise there will be more to come. Oh, BTW, I ran into an exercise group called Crossfit, maybe where I'll go to whip myself into shape. i gotta lose this 20 EXTRA lbs on my chunka.
