Two places to visit, among others...

Ok so here we go, and we are off.. 

Check me out over here - Pause four thought - it is a little diddy that was put together with Jess @ the pure and simple truth i.e. tea tales- HAHA, Sarcastically Bitter, and the secret keeper.

Whewwwww, I am exhausted from all of those links.  I rarely am on the computer and that is some hard work there.. 

Yet, one more link.  I found this new blog (brand new, one post) on FB.  She is a friend of mine and just happened to post this address on her FB as a status update.  I mean who does not like to read a blog from the very start!!!! check it out..... and what a great name.  It is what it is.... tell her that PJ says hello.  I am certainly wiped out and off to the other blog for my introduction.

What I am doing...

Its Saturday and 80 degress. Wifey is outside picking weeds, and I am prepping some chicken to bbq tonight. BANG. More to the point I am not picking weeds!!! And even more to the point I am getting ready to grill and eat outside, I love it! I have the top 25 most played rocking the itunes right now - the only thing missing is the beans, she is at the park with mommom, ugh. Nuff said about that.

Now Sunday another 80 degree day. Standing at my back door admiring my well manicured lawn. Nana and poppop are over for dinner, grandpaw is on his way and uncle john is loading up some songs on his ipod. It is a good day. Not really sure what else someone could ask for?

Some people say that you need to be striving for something or have some great mountain to climb or obstacle to overcome to have a good blog. Well her at PJs house all is good, all is well and I certainly can't complain about anything except for a lack of sleep, and hey that has been two years and I am adjusted. Its all gravy!

SPRUNG

Spring has sprung and the flowers are blooming, mulch is ready to be put down, rose bushes planted, patios finish, weeds to pull and butterflies to be seen. The beans is turning two in under a month which means the crunch is on to get things done. If you want to come on down and pitch in, lend a helping hand let's get a move on we have plenty of work. I love this time of year, I love getting things crossed off of the list. What I don't love is pulling weeds, in fact I hate it. Wifey did all of the dirty work last year and I promised that I would 'get in the game' this year. Spring also brings, Sixer and Flyer playoffs and the Phillies are certainly at it again. What more could you ask for? It is going to be in the 80s this weekend and I will be running around enjoying every minute of it. I have a week of vacation planned in july, broad street run ten milier next weekend.... Summer lovin had me a blast!

How do you --

Seperate yourself from the pack? Do you work harder? Do you work smarter? Are you funnier? Friendlier? What do you do that makes you the person that you are? Everyone knows that this economy stinks. Job security is low, and people each day are feeling the 'burn'. Do you work longer hours? Why are you not getting cut next? I think you have to learn more. Take this time and study. Make yourself a better worker bee, make yourslef a better boss, know the staff, know the product, know the clients, do your homework, and make shit happen. Also, it can't hurt to knock on wood, touch blue to make it true, and say a little prayer.

Ouch

My Saturday went pretty much as perfect as possible. Woke up and went to my favorite diner for breakfast with my favorite ladies. Hit the depot for some flowers, gardening tools for the beans, some dora gloves, and headed home to grab my gear to go play some b-ball for the first time in three years. Hit the court for a little over an hour with no major injuries - win! Got home and wifey was putting the beans down for a nap, so I huslted the lawn mowing, showered and off to the store we went for some fixins for dinner. Steaks, potatoes, zuchini, and wine. Nana and pop pop came over for some dinner and some great company. About this time my back started to feel it a bit, a little twinge here and there nothing a glass of wine couldn't handle. Then the quads just started to stiffen up a little, the calves started to get a bit twingie as well.

After dinner I was pretty darn sore everywhere except the knees. I expected the knees to be in pain, not my back, my quads, my hands, my calves, and my feet. Nothing quite like not playing basketball for 3 years, two torn ACLs, and father time working against you. All in all a great day and I don't feel that bad today. Although tonight is a running night, we will see what happens.

Time

If someome could please tell whomever is working the clock that Pj needs another 4 hours each day to get his stuf done that would be great. I don't think it is too much to ask for a 28 hour day. I would have more time with the family, more time to run, more time to work, and more time for wifey. It doesn't even have to be sunny out I will take my four hours whenever I can get them. I have some pretty good ideas for this little blog, and could use some time to actually sit down at my computer. You ask what I do with my day? Up at 4:45am 3 days a week to hit the treadmill for an hour before work the other two days I sleep late till about 5:30pm. My work day lately consists of getting to work around 7:30am or 8am, spend my day there till about 6 or so, and hustle home. Eat dinner with the family, and spend some quality beanie time until she goes to sleep any time between 8pm and 9pm. Then from 9 to 10 I hang with my beautiful wife for as long as possible before bed at 10pm. Weekends are packed with family stuff and errands and cleaning the house, doing wash, mowing the lawn, you know the drill! Who else would sign the petition for more time in the day?

Happy Friday!

Beans

When she reaches up with her little hand to grab mine, and says 'daddy come' my heart melts.
