I need to build on...

Christmas has come and gone, leaving several huge trash cans full of wrapping paper and cardboard and way too many new toys. Jordan and Isabella were both equally spoiled. Jordan is most proud of his new Backyardigans outfit, which we had to rip off him after the second consecutive day of wear. He is also very fond of the new drum kit...Yes, a drum kit. I know what you are thinking. "Why in the hell would you buy your kid a drum kit to annoy you with constantly?" Well, good question. I guess because he likes it.

Work is still awesome! Each I find myself expanding and growing in some form or another. It's not always fun though. I happen to work with a 48 year old woman who is completely attention starved and socially retarded. For example, she asks questions because she wants to tell you something.

Gal 1 - "How is your father doing?"
Me - "He's great."
Gal 1 - "Well my mother is ...."

Get my point?

And worse, she'll ask you a question to get your answer and then go take the answer to someone else as her own! I HATE THIS! Today she said, "Do you know how to eject a CD out of a computer if it's stuck?"
I said, "Nope"
Another gal that works here (gal 2) had asked her and then came in to ask our room. I answered, "Just put a paper clip in the little hole under the disc slot."
Of course gal 1 said, " That was what I was wondering, but I didn't know for sure."

Bull shit, she was clueless, and didn't have anything. I shouldn't be so hard on her but come on.

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.
