Saturday Dec 29th, 2007

               So I have been slack concerning my posting. I even setup a reminder in Google, but then I ignored the reminder. A lot of good that will do me. So it is a few days after Christmas, and we are finally able to relax. I will go out in a few minutes and do my first oil change. At least I hope. I have a 98 Chevy Metro, that needs an oil change. I bought all the stuff about a month ago. First it was too rainy, then it was too cold. It is still a little wet, but if I don't get it done soon, I never will.

               I got a lot of stuff that I can use for Christmas. I got plenty of sweat pants and tee shirts. Which is good, since I have started working out at the gym at work. It isn't huge, but it has everything I need. Eventually I will probably get a Y membership for the family, since they love to swim. Plus it would do us all some good to get in better shape. My workout plan is good, now all I have to do is get up early enough to do the plan. I work Monday through Friday, so I plan on working out different muscle groups on different days. I should get the upper body workouts in twice, and one day for legs. Plus my cardio work after every workout. I need to lose weight, but I know I won't handle dieting forever, so I will add muscle mass, which burns up more calories. So if I can stick to it, I should drop down to 220, and lose a lot of fat, and replace it with muscle. My only thing is getting up early enough, and sticking to it.  We shall see.

I also got season one of the TV series House. I really enjoy that show. He is a little crude, but the sarcasm is so good. I also have my 14  year old daughter hooked on it also. We watch it together every Tuesday.

I got to see two new babies in our family. I got to see Brooke, my cousin Brandy's baby girl. And Dakota, My cousin Curtis' baby boy. We also found out that my cousin Curtis doesn't live that far from us. My wife and I are hoping to have both cars running soon, so that we can see about taking Dakota to Sunday School with us.

                  Well, I have rambled long enough, I need to go change the oil on my car. I will have to pick up my son and his girlfriend from paintball soon.

God Bless,

My thoughts on Dec. 16, 2007

         Hello again. I am just got around to checking my E-mail. and there was a reminder in my E-mail to write in my blog. So I am. I really like Google, and it's setup. I have gmail attached to my blog. So I check my gmail, and my calendar reminds me to send an E-mail to my blog. Technology is pretty cool when it works together.

         So anyways life is pretty good. We are busy getting ready for Christmas. Still don't have a tree. I was supposed to get the big car fixed, and we were going to get the tree Saturday, but I got the wrong alternator. I will have to get everything done this week. We are still trying to get all of our Christmas shopping done. I will be out Christmas Eve shopping, I'm sure.

         We have had some pretty crazy weather the past few days. It was a challenge to get to Church for evening service. I am hoping that it lightens up so that I can have a nice drive to work. I am still trying to get used to day shift. I had been on night shift for 3 years. I think I would have been used to it by now, but Thanksgiving I had to many days off that I could sleep in. I am doing ok though. I haven't been late yet. I do well when I have work. But since I am the new guy, I don't have all of my access, nor enough experience to handle a lot of the issues. So I have to wait a little while.

Until next week, God Bless
