Big daddy

I wanted to come up with something clever to write for All Hallows Eve. But I just couldn't come up with anything. So I came up with some Halloween info nuggets that you might enjoy.

1. Halloween is celebrated by more Americans than Yom Kippur.
2. Halloween night sees more arrests for vandalism and disorderly conduct than any other night of the year.
3. Princess (all varieties) is the most popular girls costume of all time. Athlete (all varieties) is the most popular for boys.
4. Halloween has higher holiday sales revenue than Easter.
5. More adults between the ages of 18-38 dress up that don't have kids than adults of the same age that do have kids.
6. More candy is purchased and consumed around Halloween than Christmas and Easter combined.
7. There are more prank phone calls on Halloween day than in any other entire month.
8. There are more accidental injuries on Halloween than the 4th of July.
9. It's easier to make up a bunch of false info nuggets about Halloween than any other holiday.

Subject change: We are 23 days out from Braden's due date. That's fewer days than I am years-old. So either I'm older than I feel or Braden's coming really soon. Other interesting 23s: The number of flavors in Dr. Pepper, Michael Jordan's jersey number, How old I was when I graduated with my Master's degree, it's a prime number, and it's how many hours have passed in the show 24 before you get to the season finale.

Stay safe and remember "Goblins are not the same as Hobgoblins."

Praise God.

Well, financial fun night wrapped up last night. Oh, and there is a special ffn related post on My Jesus Book for all ye who are interested. It has been a great 4 weeks and I feel that our little group has grown closer for it. Anyone who does not have a close group of God-loving friends is missing out.

It is Oct. 27th and there are 27 days left until Braden is due. Weird.

It seems that there has been some confusion as to what the winner of the baby pool is to recieve as a prize. I found out that some folks believe that their name would be mentioned only in italicized letters. However, if you will refer to the post "No purchase neccessary, void where prohibited" it clearly states that your name will also apear in bold letters. I wanted to clear up any misunderstanding for anyone who might be holding out becuase italics just aren't enough.

I'm going to keep this post a little short. But I would like to comment on my own post from yesterday. See, no one cares about my football. I have to stop now before I start to cry.

Praise God.

Fantasy Football Update Time!!!

Before I get started, it has become quite apparent to me that no one cares about my stupid fantasy football teams. I know this because on all of my posts in which I focus on my fantasy football, there are very few comments. But you know what? This is MY BLOG and I'll write what I want!

It was a pretty good fantasy week. There are no longer any undefeated teams in any of my leagues. I am tied for first place in one league and have first outright in another. I went 4-1 this week. Most importantly I beat my favorite Ohioan (Poo Diddy) to tie him for first.

Subject change:
We are only 4 weeks out from Braden's due date. If you haven't submitted your guess yet for the baby pool, I'd suggest getting it done. I'm ready to meet my son!

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: My mother knows a young lady (I think she's 16 or 17) who is pregnant and has very few resources (financial or otherwise) to support herself and her new baby. If you know anyone who has baby stuff/maternity stuff that they don't want or need anymore, I am going to try to put together some things for her. This young lady has had a difficult life so far and it seems that things aren't getting any easier for her. It would be nice if we could bless her and her child in any way we can.

Well it seems that some people (ok... a person) has a problem with my method by which to get someone's attention on my blog. Apparently when I type in all caps, that indicates that I am yelling at someone in a harsh and/or angry manner. So I have come up with a way that might be better suited to gain one's attention without giving the impression that I am in any way irriatated at that person. A concept I learned about in my perception class as an undergratuate was that if something looks different from the things around it, you tend to notice it more. So in the future, I will draw attention to a particular message by decreasing the size of the lettering. For example: hey Todd, you're hot!! So pay attention to that.

Hold on, I'm getting a call....................

Apparently the Southwest Missouri chapter of the National Association for People with Visual Deficits (NAPVD) is not pleased with this new policy. Irene Seymore just called (apperently she is telekenetic) and stated that is a violation of NAPVD guidelines to decrease the size of a font to such a tiny size. So I'm stuck in quite the quandry. Ok, how about this. I will begin all special notifications with the following *^* and end it with *^*. For example: *^*It's not salmon, it's pink*^*. Ok?

Hold on, it's the phone again.........................

Well crap. That was the PR rep for the National Board of Censors, Printed Word Division. Apparently Mr. Mark Tout feels that using such symbols in print might be confused as explitives and using symbols in such a manner is copyrighted by the Cartoon and Animated Drawings Guild. Hmmmmm.....

Well this is embarassing. I really don't know where to go with this. Well for lack of a better (and PC) method by which to notify people that I need their attention.... HEY CARLYE, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH MY BIG LETTERS!!! No harsh tone or anger intended!

Praise God.

I want to write a big THANK YOU to everyone that came out and suprised me Saturday morning and worked on my house. I'm not the best at verbally expressing my gratitude but I am deeply grateful and sincerely appreciative of what you all did for us. More was accomplished in the few hours that everyone was here than I could have done by myself in weeks. Thanks to Todd who apparently organized the event. Thanks to Dana and his heavy equipment (the carpets look better than they have since we moved in). Thanks to Theresa for helping me with my mirror and the patio. Thanks to Christina for cleaning the patio furniture. Thanks to Anne for tending the fire in the rain. Thanks to the Sinnokrak's for being everywhere all at once. Thanks to Andy for hauling all my junk away. Thanks to Wyatt for getting muddy helping remove the stump from my front planter. Thanks to Jason for providing media coverage at this event (and clearing out my unwanted dead plants). Thanks to Angela for feeding everyone. Thanks to everyone for picking up all those walnuts. I know all of you did much more than what I listed here. There was so much going on I couldn't keep track of it all.

You guys are awesome and I thank God that he has put you all in my life.

Praise God.

Please see my post on myjesusbook.blogspot.com. There is a link in the left column.

Praise God.

Angela and I are trying to get all of Braden's stuff washed before he arrives. I have taken on the responsibility of sorting things by sizes and finding some way to organize and store his clothes, blankets, etc. The biggest question I have so far is; What is the proper way to fold a onesie? For those of you who haven't been around a lot of babies, or just don't care to know anything about them, a onesie is that cute little one piece (hence the name) article of clothing that has snaps in the crotch for easy access to the production end of the fecal plant. The 9-18 lb variety are quite small (about the size of a chihuahua sweater). The arms on these things are so small it is nearly impossible to fold them back as you might on a human-sized shirt. I tried three different methods of folding, settling on a tri-fold method resulting in a package the size of two packs of spider-man playing cards laying side by side. The second issue I had with sorting and storing (Huh, sorting and storing have the same exact letters but in a different order, how will I know when I made a typo and got them backwards?) the clothes was the 'matching set.' So I thought that I would have a seperate drawer for blankets, a drawer for onesies, and hang up outfits. This method was completely disrupted when I came across the 'matching set.' These typically include a onsie or sleeper (don't get me started on the different kinds of sleepers), a hat, a blanket, a bib, and sometimes little booties. What am I supposed to do with that? Do I seperate them and try to remember that it has stuff to match (am I supposed to care that there are matching items?)? Do I put them together in yet another drawer and try to come up with some excuse why I should be using the matching blanket when there's already a perfectly good one in the diaper bag already? Do I set them on fire in the back yard and when asked by the person that gave them to us how we like the matching set respond, "It kept him very warm." I don't know. My solution was to stack the sets up and stick them in a drawer and figure it out later. Regardless, our kid is going to be very well dressed when he has clothes on.

Angela and I went to Baby Days child development class last night. That was semi-interesting. For those of you who are parents out there (or plan to be at some time) DONT SHAKE YOUR BABY!!!

Subject change: Hopefully the Cardinals can wrap things up at Shea tonight. We don't need no more drama after that end of the season stink fest they put us through (I am aware that this is not gramatically correct writing, but in general, people interested in sports are not interested in grammar).

Another subject change: I finally got a new post up on My Jesus Book if you care to check it out. The link is below the baby pool guesses. Speaking of guesses HEY CARLYE! YOU DIDN'T GIVE ME A LENGTH!

Praise God.

This was not a good week for fantasy football. I got beat by my dad who had not won a game yet vs one of my undefeated teams, and I went just 2-3 overall. The good news is that I won in my work league and church league. I lost in both leagues of people I dont care about. Next week I play against my favorite Ohioan who is the only remaining undefeated team in any of my leagues (except me in my work league, but I can't play myself now can I?). It should be a rough week next week also, I have a lot of players on Bye that I don't neccessraily want to replace but may have to unless I want to sacrifice a win to keep them. For any football fans that didn't watch MNF last night, you missed an exhibition by the Bears defense on "How to let your offense off the hook for a terrible performance."

On the baby front: Angela and I have a class tonight on child development....that should be fun.

Praise God.

It's over! Today Todd and I wrap up the weight loss competition. The final result is (drumroll).....

Starting weight: 230 lbs
Current weight: 214 lbs
Total loss: 16 lbs !!!

I'm pretty sure that this will seal the deal (unless Todd cut off his arms or something, which could have happened while he was watching the Cards play last night).

Renovation update: Not a whole lot got accomplished this weekend. My dad and step-mother were here. Dad helped me install the final cabinet door on the vanity and we put together the 'hillbilly golf' game he made for me for my birthday. Upon completion of the construction of said game, my father beat me 4 times in a row. For those of you who do not have any idea what hillbilly golf is (as was the case for me until dad got me a set), you'll have to come over and play sometime.*

Dad and I played in the 10th annual CCH golf tournament on Saturday. We placed 4th with a score of one under par. This wasn't too bad considering neither of us have played any golf in a couple months. Dad won the long drive contest so at least we had one notch on the belt. Between us we have won the long drive and long putt contests 2 of the 3 years we have played. We have placed 4th twice and 3rd once.

Angela had her second baby shower (note: initially I left out the word baby, assuming people would know what I was talking about. However, after reading it again, it sounded as if she had been walking around soiled for some time). I, of course, did not attend but got another "see what we got" show at home and some more cake (note: Sarah Crowe made the cake, she makes the best cakes on the PLANET, I'm not kidding, thanks Sarah).

We are 38 days from Braden's due date. Isn't that exciting!! (apperantly exciting enough to get 2 exclamation points) For anyone who isn't following my blog closely, there is a baby pool (for more information see 'No purchase necessary, void where prohibited' on this blog) enter your guess now for a chance to win stated prize. So far there are 10 submissions with only 1 person claiming that Bradizzle will come late and only 1 duplicated day. Apparently no one has faith in the medical community and guessed the actual day he is due. Keep 'em coming folks.

Praise God.


*This offer not valid for people I don't know, random blog readers, and creepy people (sorry Todd).

Wow! What a great response to the baby pool. It took me quite a while to get them all on there and formated correctly but it's quite an impressive list. The only duplicate days are the Ferguson's, they both must like Wednesdays.

PUBLIC UNALERT! Apparently I left the camera in my truck when I sold it to my dad. He found it three days ago and had been planning on holding it for ransom. However, he came clean and agreed to bring it up to me this weekend. Thanks dad! (really he was just going to suprise me)

So then I no longer would appreciate any 'consumer reports' regarding digital cameras. I really don't want any feedback on this. However, I would like any info you might have regarding video cameras in the "cheap" to "very affordable" range.

I did not get the doors put on the vanity due to having practice for worship team. Hopefully those will get done tonight or tommorow. Tonight Angela and I are taking a night off of running about and doing things all the time. As could be expected, she is a bit exhaused from lugging my kid all over the place. We have been very busy this week and will continue to be busy for the next 18-25 years (25 to account for more children, not to account for my son being a loser). So we're going to take it easy.

As a final comment for today; today is Friday the 13th. Many people believe that this is a spooky day or a scary day or whatever. Those peope are absolutely right! If you don't believe me get arrested and spend the night in jail tonight, you'll see*. As a note: I would not reccommend public intoxication as a means by which to get arrested, it really takes away from your ability to observe the freakyness of all the other people in "the tank." I think the best way to go would be misdemeanor property destruction, or walking your dog without a leash or something like that. Feel free to comment about your experiences here on my blog!

It is time for my last Thursday update of the weight loss challenge!!

Starting weight: 230 lbs
Current weight: 214 lbs
Total loss: 16 lbs

I have officially hit Todd's original goal for this time period. Next Monday is the final weigh in.

Renovation update: The guest room is completely done and put back together. I hung pictures and a mirror in Braden's room and attempted to get the doors back on the vanity (this has not worked out so far). I also did the touch-ups in the basement. Tonight after "Financial Fun Thursday" I'm going to try to get those dad-blamin' doors on the vanity.

PUBLIC ALERT!!! If anyone has seen my digital camera, please let me know. I have not seen it in well over a month. It's a Sony Cybershot in a black leather camera bag. Thank you.

Oh, yeah. I'm going to be looking at buying a new camera soon. If anyone has any 'consumer reports' (this phrase used without permission, copyright owned by "consumer reports") on cameras you have purchased or used, feel free to post a comment about it here. I value your input!

Braden is 42 days from his due date (38 days from my predicted birthdate). I'm going to begin a pool on when people think he will arrive and his length and weight. I will be posting this in the left column of this blog. To submit a guess comment on this blog entry or any later entry. The winner will be whomever guesses the date correctly. Tiebreaker will be weight. Double tie-breaker will be length. No duplicate guesses will be allowed (One per person, no exact copies of a previously submitted guess). The winner of this pool will win a special mention on this blog in bold and italicized letters (maybe all caps too). My submission will be first and is as follows. Born on 11-19-06. Weight 7lbs 6ozs. Length 22.5 inches. Let the games begin! No submissions will be taken after 11-10-06 or after Angela has gone into labor.

Praise God.

I didn't want to mess up yesterday's blog with a bunch of other stuff so today I'll write all the stuff I was going to write yesterday.

I went 4-1 on fantasy football bringing my totals up to "rockin." I feel really bad for my Dad though. He has lost 5 games straight in the league we are in together (sorry Dad).

Speaking of dads, I'm going to be one soon. 6 weeks from tommorow is Braden's due date. I'm pretty excited. Last night I stayed up a little late and read The Expectant Father for a while. And like any good male, I've been thinking about financial things, life insurance, etc. Most of the time I feel pretty comfortable with the whole becoming a dad thing, but once a day or so it hits me a little harder for some reason. The house is almost ready for Braden to arrive. Angela and I are convinced that Braden should see the house looking really good before he gets old enough to destroy it. I have installed the sink and mirror and hardware in the bathroom. There are no doors on the vanity, I have to get those finished up and put the knobs on. I'm puting tile on the surround this weekend, probably, and maybe building a frame for the mirror (hey Dad, can you bring your Miter Saw up this weekend?). I also finished up the guest room and got it pretty much situated. All I have left is touching up the basement, cleaning the basement carpet, killing the basement cat, the bathroom finishing touches, and hanging Bradens decorations on the walls. There are a few other non-essential wants that I could do but my main focus is on the above.

That's about all for yesterday.

Praise God.

Myself: "Hows that feel?"
Me: "Not good."
Myself: "I told you not to eat the cake, but you didn't listen."
Me: "I know, but it was tasty."
Myself: "Well I hope it was worth it." (not really hoping it was worth it)
Me: "You should try some."
Myself: "Shut it flabby."

Praise God.

Yesterday began the "shower season." Angela had her church shower and brought home some cool stuff for Braden. I got to stay at home and paint the guest room and the vanity in the bathroom. Once the vanity is done, I'll be able to install the sink and mirror. I hope to do that tonight. The guest room needs some touchups and then we (this again means I) can put that room back together. The best part of shower season is I don't have to go. I stay home and unload the car and look at stuff. This is great! Oh yeah, the Dutch Boy paint is ok. I still like the American Tradition paint. However, due to the fact that we got the Dutch Boy on clearance, it may be the better paint per-dollar-spent. Todd and I are one week out from our contest end date. Here's the current standing.

Starting weight: 230 lbs
Current weight: 215 lbs
Total loss: 15 lbs

I think my metabolism is up or something because I didn't do to well on my eating this weekend. I ran a couple times but less than I would have liked.

My goal by next week is not to gain 5 lbs. You see, the one big problem with shower season is that it directly coincides with Angela bringing home cake season. This is bad. I shall do my best to resist the sweet temptation of that moist delicious goodness. [smack in the face]

Myself: "Hey fatty, whatcha thinking about."
Me: "Uhhhhh, cake."
Myself: "If I catch you eating that cake, I'm gonna kick your butt!"
Me: "How 'bout just a little piece."
Myself: "I guess that's ok.....If you want a little piece of my foot up your backside!"
Me: "Fine, I won't eat the cake."
Myself: "Good, that's real good" (low evil voice, like he's up to something, not an encouraging one)

Anyways, I think I'll do ok....at least until next Monday.

Praise God.

Neither Todd or I got up our Thursday updates. So I don't feel too bad getting this out late.

Starting weight: 230 lbs
Current weight: 216 lbs
Total Loss: 14 lbs

To be accurate, I had gotten down to 215 but I was back at 216 when I did my 'official' weigh it Thursday morning.

Renovation update:
I have painted all of the walls in the guest bath and installed a new light fixture (in that order).
One of the more interesting parts of this process was that I painted the walls by the light of a lantern and Maglight (big flashlight). It was kind of a mystery.... where had I painted, where had I not? I still have a lot to do. My goal is to have the vanity painted and the counter installed by the end of the weekend. If I do really well I could also get all the hardware installed and actually hook up the sink. If I do really, really well then I'll be able to get the tile surround done and the frame for the mirror built.

Quick free ad:
I used American Tradition paint from Lowes to paint the bathroom. I have always been a big fan of Kilz paint (from Wal-Mart) but I think I like American Tradition better. I think it's a couple bucks per gallon more expensive. However, it covered very well and did not run. I'm using Dutch Boy paint (Wal-Mart again) for the guest room (Hey Todd, we got it on clearance). I'll let you know how that goes.

Quick free anti-ad:
While I'm talking about paint. I really hate Sherwin Williams paint. It's way too runny and expensive.

Praise God.

Thanks to everyone for their comments. I truly appreciate it.

I didn't include my weekly update of my fantasy football (and the phone has been ringing off the hook) yesterday. I felt it would detract from the novella.

I went 3-1-1 this week. I actually tied in one league to remain unbeaten and I'm still unbeaten in another league and snatched my first victory in my winless league. So my current records are (best to worst).

4-0-0
3-0-1
3-1-0
2-2-0
1-3-0

Total: 13-6-1 Not bad

I had to take a break from running. My knees were killing me. So I think I'll get back at it tonight, and perhaps run again in the morning if that goes well. Our church softball season is over and we lost our last game. However, I felt we played the best game of the year. Everyone was playing well and being aggressive. It was fun. I got to steal 3rd as well!

My demolition is done on my bathroom. I'm going to go home now and work on putting it back together.

Praise God.

A while back I reported that I had some difficulty with my mother's boat (for more information see: I'm no Jack Sparrow...er, Captain Jack Sparrow). In that post I stated that I could probably go ahead and write the story about how I tried to repair said boat. Well if I would have done that then, I couldn't do it now. And now it'll be a true story, and everyone likes a true story (for more information watch "Rudy").

It was a beautiful day in the Ozarks yesterday. I took my ginormous Ford Expedition on a little joy ride down to Shell Knob. The colors are just starting to change on the trees and you almost didn't notice the bagworms. There was very little traffic on a Monday afternoon so I very much enjoyed the drive. Then, all of a sudden, the joy stopped. I arrived at the boat dock. For those of you who have journeyed down the "hill-of-certain-death" you know why the joy stopped. Anyways, I took my tool box down to the boat. I was told by the local boat dealer, whom I called last week to see about a part, that there was a serial number on the propeller (the part I was replacing). I examined the prop (that's the boat-people term) and found no such number. So I pulled out all of the paperwork concerning the boat to search for some random number I have no idea how to find. After about 10 seconds of this I became discouraged and decided that I would simply (simply is going to the the ironic word) take off the prop and take it to them to match. The thing about outboard motors is that they hang off the back of a boat. This creates some problems when you can't get to the back of the boat due to the 100' of water under it. So after staring at the prop and trying to reach out with my wrench to unscrew the prop nut and succeeding only in turning the prop (cause it's designed to go 'round and 'round), I decided to take my discouraging paperwork to the part place and let them figure it out.

So I arrive at Sport Boat USA, a lovely boat dealer specializing in Mercury motors (that's the kind I have). As I walked to the door I noticed something odd. There on the door was the "hours of operation" sign. I studied this closely as I pulled on the door. At the same time I nearly dislocated my shoulder I read "Monday........closed." I stared at this for a few minutes (literally like 4 whole minutes) and began to become quite frustrated with myself for not calling and making sure that a place of buisness was OPEN ON A MONDAY! So I scavanged through my brain and remembered where another boat place was (right next door). They are not a Mercury dealer so I held little faith that they would carry the part I needed, but since I was already there I thought, "Why not spread my misery around a bit." I drove up and lo and behold they were OPEN! I entered the store and walked to the counter. A middle-aged woman asked if she could help me. I made my prop request. She began asking me questions about the prop I needed. I, of course, had no answers except "It' s not my boat, it's my mom's." I provided her and Bob (I don't know if that's his name but I figured it's a good guess), who had joined us, with the paperwork from the boat. After scrounging through said papers and finding nothing of use, Bob decided that I needed a 13 pitch prop. I said "ok" and held my breath after asking how much this particular part was going to cost. It was $40 less than what those crooked-no-work-on-Mondays people told me at the Mercury dealer, so I was happy....briefly. I asked if there was anyone that could install the prop and she told me it would be a couple WEEKS. I asked if it was a long proceedure and she said no, they are just very busy. I stood there, looking dejected, pitiful, and helpless (which I was) in hopes that she would have mercy on me and call her brother or uncle or nephew who 'just happened to know something about motors.' You know in movies and books and on TV there's this perception about small town folk who are just there to help a feller out and do what's right? That's not the case at the boat store. So after standing at the counter for a few minutes and getting no feedback, I took the prop and headed back to the boat. As I was driving and contemplating my predicament, I glanced back and saw my brand new tow strap in the back of my vehicle.

(jump forward 15 min)

So I'm hanging off the back of the pontoon boat, straped into a makeshift body sling I created from a tow strap. I begin to work on the motor (akward not just because I'm wearing a Polo, Khakis, and hanging off the back of a boat, but also because I have know idea what I'm doing) and succeed in getting the original prop off the boat. Now, as I mentioned before, the water here is about 100' ft deep. So it is imperitive that I not drop any parts or tools into the water. This becomes a difficult task when trying to hold on to a prop, a wrench, and a nut at the same time. However, I managed not to drop anything. I make the repair and decide to take the boat out to test it out (per the recommendation of Bob). This becomes difficult when I find out the boat won't start. I had taken all of the ropes off the boat and was drifting out into the water when I figured this out. I ran to the front of the boat and caught the dock and pulled myself back in. I jumped out and tied a rope to the front of the boat and got back in to try again. I began drifting back out again and expected to feel the gentle tug of a rope keeping me safely tied to the dock...no tug. I looked up and found that the rope I tied to the boat was only tied to the boat, not the dock (I have a Masters degree?). So I jumped up ran to the front of the boat and pulled myself in, this time tying up the boat. After coming to the conclusion the boat would not start, I decided to call it a day.

So all in all things worked out. I have a new skill (making slings from tow straps) and all is well in the world of pontoon boats!

Praise God.

Happy Monday everybody!

I should have an interesting story for tommorow. This afternoon I'm going to Shell Knob to fix my mom's boat that I messed up (for more information see 'I'm no Jack Sparrow...er, Captain Jack Sparrow.)' So tune in for that report.

This has been a busy weekend. Angela and I went to Monett on Saturday to see my grandmother and uncle (in from Colorado). Then we left there and drove to Lebanon (the city, not the country) and visited my in-laws. My sister-in-law turned 11, that was fun. To top it all off, we drove back home at 11:00 pm. My food intake was quite appaling during that 24 hours but I made up for it on Sunday. I ran last night and this morning (though not as much as I hoped to). My knees and calfs (the muscles not the animals) didn't seem to agree that it was a good idea to run this morning. However, I still managed a combined 6 miles between last night and this morning (though probably a good 1.5 miles was walking).

I also began demolition on my guest bathroom. Initially Angela and I had just planned on replacing the counter and sink and painting the vanity. Now we're (by we I mean me, but me're doesn't sound right) going to redo the entire bathroom. I'm replacing the light, building a new frame for the mirror, replacing the counter, painting the vanity, replacing the hardware on the vanity, tiling the floor and surround, and maybe repainting the walls!!!!!!

Time for the weight thingy.
Starting weight: 230 lbs
Current weight: 216 lbs
Total loss: 14 lbs

Todd and I have two weeks from today left in our challange. Good luck Todd!

Praise God.
