Is it really November already?

So apparently I often fail to remember that I have a blog as I have not updated it since Hudson wasn’t even a month old. Now he’s 7 months, ginormous, and about to be on the go.

Here is his for Halloween:

Other things that have happened:

Lost 14 pounds (been back in the gym)
Got a new roof (not exactly by choice)
Hudson was baptized
Ran a fall instructional program for the Wake Forest Wizards of Fusion Lacrosse

Best of all I continue to have a wonderful family, amazing friends, and waking up every day. Can’t really ask for much more.

I Feel Disconaketed

It is 13 days into the Lenten celebration. So far I have not made a single visit to either Facebook or Twitter.

I took some self-preventative measures to make sure that I received as little communication from the social networking sites as possible. I have created rules in my email, changed my password, and removed shortcuts and phone apps from my computing devices. So it would take a concerted effort on my part to even log in!

I’ll admit the first couple days were hard. I found my mouse unconsciously traveling to where the bookmarks use to be. I would make note of daily observations worthy of a “tweet” only to remember that my ego-inflating perception that people find my comments poignant and witty would have to go unfulfilled! it also doesn’t help that the native Facebook app on the Android does not seem willing to be removed, and randomly pops up sometimes when I turn on the phone, but I’m still holding strong.

Still no baby, don’t know how much longer he’s going to last. Poor guy has almost NO room in there. Still haven’t figured out how I will alert the world since I don’t have access to my passwords for social networks….hmmmm

30 Days Until Freedom

There isn’t much more to do other than wait. The nursery is done, the bassinette is assmbled, clothes are washed and put away, and Jamie is pretty much ready to get back to “normal!”

All in all we’re excited for our little man to make his grand enterance into the world. However, we have spoken on several occaisions that Dad would prefer if he waited until at least April 2nd.

The actual due date is April 8th.

Weekend, Odds and Ends

So this was quite a productive weekend! Started off early Saturday morning with a victory in Super Athlete Challege Event #3 – the mile run. After taking a 5 second victory I proceed to take two games of corn hole before getting breakfast. Since we had to wait until 11 for the bars to open I had to wait for my victory beers, but it was ok, because they were still awesome.

Later Saturday I just kinda chilled around the house until my mother in-law invited me over for dinner since Jamie wasn’t around to cook, yes I’ve got it made!

Today was a lot of yard work, some oranization around the house, clearing out the old storage, hanging out with the wife, a little lacrosse on TV, and we watched “Yes Man!” with Jim Carrey( I think I might make a page for Jim Carrey movies…). Oh and I did some work for the NASPAA website as well. Very productive day overall.

Now it’s a little past 11 and I’ve been spending some time modifying the blog. Changed themes, this won’t be the last time I assure you, and updated to the tweets are only posted once a week, instead of every day. It was depressing me that 99% of my posts were of my tweets. I’m hoping this makes me keep more active on the posting. I plan to write one about gearing up for playoffs, since hopefully we will be.
