The best part of waking up...

Having a day off is never really having the day off. Seems like I work at home then the whole time I am 'on vacation'. Plus you throw in the games of ball with J, watching Elmo in Grouchland (great movie, I'd totally recommend it- if you're 2), and our random eating sessions my days off are pretty busy. But even still I love it far more than a typical day at my current job.

It is about 7:30 in the morning, I'm enjoying a fresh cup of Foldgers, and I have some pretty sweet plans today. My fiance has to work, so Jordan and I are going to run some errands. I have to stop by Hobby Lobby to grab some canvas for a project I am starting today. I have been recently inspired to do some painting again so I figure with today and tomorrow off, I can make some headway! I am hesitant going to HL though, because with Jordan and his quick hands, we could end up walking out of there with a lot more than we originally wanted to get! I'll have to keep him locked up in the cart.

We might go and get some sparkly little fireworks for tonight, although what I really want to get is something that would make a loud enough explosion to wake up my neighbor. I'll do it at like 4 in the mornin'. Maybe it's that I don't like fireworks anymore (unless it's a professional show) or that my son was afraid, but well after 11:00 last night when they were popping off more rounds than an AK-47 I about walked out and broke everyone of their stupid fireworks!

Well I am sure soon my little monster will be alive so I must get ready. I just got a call from a guy who is starting a web marketing company(a spin off his other company) and wants me to do his web design! Pretty good news for this early in the morning, I will celebrate with a bowl of Apple Jacks.

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
