a little overdue...

yep, I'm posting. The baseball season has come and gone for the Rangers. We can still enjoy post-season baseball and the excitement that it brings.

Nicole and I made another kid...due in May

Still in the mortgage business.

Got a chance last night to relive some precious memories...one of my all time favorite bands, Sunny Day Real Estate, played in Dallas. The first band I was in, Reality Club, had a reunion dinner before the show. It was so great seeing the guys and telling stories. Then at the show, the Glisten guys were there and it was great to experience the show with them too. There were also several old Keller High boys there whom I had not seen in over 10 years. Lastly, my friend Josh was there too. He used to play in Between Thieves and we toured together when I was running sound. All in all, it was a wonderful night.

Oh, ya...the band was freakin awesome. They played all of their early stuff and they were spot on. The mix was perfect. I really hope they come back soon. Nicole didn't get to go as she, and our baby, were sick.

Ok...done posting for a while.

baseball season is here

Well, the best time of the year is taking place right now. The great Summer classic is upon us and I'm lovin it. Our kids started playing too. We have 2 on a T-Ball team and our oldest is playing softball. I've probably eaten 10 orders of ballpark nachos and a few hot dogs too. The weather has been really nice for the games and the kids are having a blast. They really don't know what they are doing which is hilarous. The Rangers have a chance to win every game if they can get their pitching together. I'll never give up on them but sometimes it is frustrating to watch. I really wish the Mean Green had a baseball team. Maybe someday.

first customer

Last night I did my first job as Green Daddy. Yea!!

break from training

I've been sick for about a month straight with Strep Throat at least 3 times since December. As soon as my drugs from the doctor are gone, I'm sick again. Anyway, this has caused a delay in my training. I haven't totally given up on the race yet but I'm definitely looking forward to getting back in the gym...as soon as I get better as I'm sick now.

So far, I have about 9 clients lined up for the lawn business. Hopefully as I start cutting, I'll get a few more referrals to get a total of around 15. This would be a great side income to help us work our debt snowball.

In the words of the Dread Pirate Roberts..."Good work, rest well, I'll most likely kill you in the morning"

holy hell I'm old

I just went with my wife to see a friend's band play at a bar here in Denton and they didn't go on until 10:30. I should have been in bed for like an hour already but instead, I'm surrounded by college kids 10 years younger and completely out of place. My good friend, Adam, was there too... he and I used to be in a band together. We were watching our old bass player's new band, Constant Seas, at a dive in Denton. It was a great show but we are not built to stay awake longer than 10:00. After a few Shiners and Camels, we were doing alright but I'm so freakin tired, I can't stand it. The show was great and it was good to have a break from the 5 kids but couldn't Emo-kids do their shows like at 7 instead of midnight?

Oh ya, it was too loud which means I'm officially too old. Bring on the Viagra and a pillow...I'm good.

day whatever

Today's schedule was 4 miles. I ran/walked for 50 minutes covering 3.5 miles...suck it.

day 23

For some reason I'm fat. I haven't quite figured it out yet. Maybe I shouldn't eat popcorn at 10:30 at night or perhaps I shouldn't eat 10 Oreo cookies right after dinner either. It seems like these examples are hindering my ability to lose weight.

today's schedule was 3.5 miles. I did run 7 laps without stopping and then my left leg almost exploded on the treadmill. To avoid any carnage, I decided to do the last distance on the elliptical.

I'm going to continue to ponder other possible reasons that I'm not losing weight...
