What A Weekend. I Am Still Hurting.

Well after the Cowboy victory Saturday night we headed up to the B to celebrate, and Tammy's winnings from Bingo. We got up there and nobody from the crew was really there. Barry did show up. Everybody was over at Pete's house for the football draft. We picked up some beer and headed over there. By the time we got there, just about everybody was drunk. We stayed a few minutes and headed back up to the B. I bribed Shump to come up for a shot and a few drinks. We ran into some new friends of ours while we were up there. They said they were headed to Shreveport and wanted to know if we wanted to go. So like the smart people we are, we said why not. Tammy ended up driving out there, because she was the only sober one. We got to the boats about 4am. We gambled a little bit at Hollywood, then we went over to the Horseshoe for the rest of the time. No folks, I didn't come back rich. We actually donated a little. Poor Tammy had to drive back Sunday morning, because we were all still drunk. She got us home safe and sound. We ended up sleeping the rest of the day away.

Went to work Monday morning hungover. I just don't understand why hangovers hurt more now than they used to. Sucks getting older. Work was boring. I went to my first class Yesterday night. I had Anatomy & Physiology plus lab. It was pretty good. Looks like the professor is going to be alright. Tonight I had Speech and Comp II. It doesn't look like those classes are going to be to hard. I hope my Comp II professor makes it through the year. I think he was around when the pilgrims came over on the Mayflower. No, he is pretty funny, and the way he has the class mapped out I don't think it's going to be too bad.

We got end of the month at work tomorrow so I am going to get out of here for now. I got a little studying to do for A & P. That is going to be my hardest class.

BE COOL.

HOW ABOUT THEM BOYS?

Cowboys. Yeah baby the boys looked a lot better. I am so ready for the season to start. Tyson Thompson looked good tonight, and even the offense line straightened up after the 1st Qtr. I am not as worried about Bledsoe now. He looked good after the line gave him sometime to throw. Romo looked good. He definitely secured his position. I checked on season tickets tonight, and it is not going to happen this year. I am going to make it happen next year though.

I just had to post. I think that is the first time we have beaten the Texican'ts. I hope I can to go sleep tonight.

Yell at ya'll tomorrow.

With or Without? Your Choice

Here is the question of the day. Should I stay with the stash or keep it off. I got bored today and shaved the stash off. I usually do this once a year in January, but I shaved it off today. I am going around and talking to a few hospitals next month to talk about contracts and deals for school. So I think I am going to keep it off for at least a couple of weeks. I want to know ya'll's input for after that. Should I keep it off?

Tammy and I went to the high school football game last night. The Princess's team won. She marches in the band. They did an excellent job. Her band is pretty good. They go to nationals and get invited all over the country every year. She took four trips with them last year. We are already trying to set money back for this year's trips. We have to do a lot of fundraisers to help out. Speaking of that if any body needs a pass book for Tarrant county, let me know. We have sold four already. We usually out do her dad on fundraisers, but it's not hard when he usually doesn't sell anything.

I miss high school. Sitting there at the game last night, brought back a lot of fun memories form high school. I was sitting watching all the kids, and they had so much energy. I can remember waiting all week for Friday night. That had to be the best night of the week during high school. Now, I didn't go to a lot of football games, because usually I was riding Friday and Saturday nights at the rodeos. I would ride bareback on Friday nights, and Bulls on Saturday night. I split it up on purpose, because on Friday night I would usually leave after the bareback event and go party. When I was riding in high school, there was a lot of people riding bulls. There was always a slack riding for bulls (extra riding) before the rodeo started, then bull riding was the last event, and then there would be more slack at the end of the night after the rodeo. In high school the rodeo would go from Friday night through Sunday afternoon. So I would sign up to ride Broncs on Friday night so I could make it to the parties. Now that I got off the subject, the kids last night had so much energy and you could just tell they didn't have a care in the world, but seeing their friends at the game. I miss those times. Not having to worry about bills or work. Just rodeoing and partying.

I went over to my Dad's this morning and finished painting the house. I got it all knocked out, and he and I got to spend some time together. We had a good time, but I am glad that it is done now. He has a two story house, and the second story is all wood. When I win the lottery one day, I am going to get siding done on his house. I have painted that house for the last time. I have painted it four times in my life. He bought good paint so we should at least get ten years out of it, but who knows.
I came home after that and took me a big old nap. I love Saturdays when a whole lot is not going on.

Tammy and the MIL went to Bingo again tonight. So I am just sitting around and fixing to watch America's team play and win tonight. Yes, I am talking about the Dallas Cowboys. If any of you ever feel like you need to do something for somebody, and just can't figure out what it is. I sure would like season tickets to the Cowboy games. I don't even care if they are in the seats all the way at the top. That is one of my goals to have season tickets with in the next two years.

Well the Dallas Cowboys are about to play; so I have to get everything ready for the game. Yes, I have a ritual before the games. I will go into that at a later date.

GO COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!

BE COOL.

TGIFF

If you can't figure out what the extra F is for, it has not been a long week for you. I am so glad it is Friday. I am ready for this month to be over. It is almost H7P time. I think I look forward more to this party than I do when the nextel cup race comes to town. I am still trying to figure out what costumes the wife and I are going to wear. I think we are going to break from the norm of T-shirts this year. Here is where I was passing the torch off to Rich for being the Ice Luge Master Bartender Passing of the Torch If any of you can ever make a party, this is the one you need to make. There is going to be more people there than you can shake a stick at. It's good times.

Tonight the wife and I are going to watch the Princess march during the football game. She is in the percussion section. I missed all of her performances last year, because I was working two jobs at the time. So this is going to be a short post.

Ya'll have a great weekend, and Shump have a great time.

BE COOL.

HNT HERE NOW.

Well I don't get to play with the other kids, because we don't have a digital camera yet. All of my other pics were on the PC that is down right now. I probably lost all of them. So if anybody has a digital camera laying around that they don't use, send it my way. WAIT!!! I forgot I have a picture phone. So I took a pic and am emailing it to my myself. So it's on there now. Look at those abs baby. Body by Bud & tequila. Not going to talk about work here. I am tired of boring ya'll with all that blah blah.

Shumpy, sorry to hear the weekend crapped out. If all else fails. Come by and we'll tie one on, and you can work on the site and fix the other PC. I would even put some Freon in the Shump Mobile.

Chuck, tomorrow I will post a pic of my attack dog for you. I let you tell me whose looks tougher.

Tammy, is feeling better. Her and her mom went to Bingo. No they didn't go to this place. I am just playing around and placing things all over this post. It gives her something to do, and she wins quite often.

I am just going to sit around here and surf the blogsites and watch TV.

Ya'll have fun.

BE COOL

Life After Jury Duty

Being gone from work two days had its perks, but the return to the office sucked. I had to play a little catch up to get things straight around there. Troy the guy who works in the office did a pretty good job with out me, but it takes two to run that office proficiently. Thank God we had things caught up before I had jury duty or we would be in a world of shit. I had a meeting today with one of our vendors that didn't want to pony up and pay us for the work that they had us do for a customer today. So we had a little come to Jesus meeting today. We basically told them that we weren't going to finish the project unless they took care of the first bills that we had already sent them. Being the great negotiator that I am, and with a little help from one of my managers we are going to get paid what we are entitled to. It was basically a waste of time because I knew they were going to pay, and they knew they were going to pay it all. I guess they just wanted to fly down here to get a way from their wives. It seems everybody gets to go on business trips in this business except me. I really couldn't afford to right now, but I wouldn't mind getting a way on business every once in a while. The problem with once you take a trip for your company, they want to send you all the time. It would really fuck with school right now any way.

Tammy is still trying to recover from the trip to Sixflags. It really gets to her when she has to be out in the sun for that long. She also has been running 90 to nothing before Sunday taking care of her mother. Her mother is doing better. She finally went back to work yesterday.

Nothing else really going on. Too broke to go to the bar, and school doesn't start until next Monday. Just laying up like a crack whore at nights watching TV.

Yell at ya'll later.

BE COOL.

Back in the Saddle Again

Well I am back in the saddle again. The problem is that I am having to ride a shetland pony instead of a quarter horse. I have the kids computer hooked up and able to get to the internet. It keeps crashing if I have too many things going at once though. They had so much crap running in the back ground. I am just going to have to come in here after every weekend that they are over and get rid of all the crap they have going on this computer. I my Dad's PC went down, so now I am second in line, because they have to use their pc's for my mom's work. So I am still waiting on my newer computer to get fixed. I have narrowed it down to the motherboard, so it is under warranty. I just have to wait my turn for my brother to fix it.

I got through finals last week, or should I say my final. I was only taking one class in the second session of summer. I got an A on my final and got a A for the class. So now I am carrying a 3.028 GPA. I am so proud of myself. This class was no walk in the park though. I had a really good professor. I would classify him in the top two of all my instructors. He really taught us how to write papers and get them right for academic purposes. He showed us how to fill in papers with words to make them sound more professional or academic. I didn't know if I was going to get a good grade in this class, but it worked out real well.

We had the little one again this weekend. We went to pick him up Saturday. We had a company picnic on Sunday at Six Flags. He had a blast. We took him on the Log Ride, and he loved it. I thought he might have gotten sacred, but he didn't. He loved it. We all had a real good time.

I had jury duty for the last two days.It was pretty much a waste of time, but oh well. It got me out of work for the past two days. I am just counting the days until nursing school starts. I am getting so tired of working in a place where they want you to take care of the business where the numbers look good, but they don't want to pay adequately to do the job. I am looking in too a few things to try and get something going before nursing school starts for income, and if one of these things comes up before school starts in the fall of '06 I'm taking it. Hough about that stuff.

I am glad to be connected again, even if it is on this shetland pc. That's a small horse, that don't go very fast, and usually is a pain in the ass. Also, if you don't watch'em they will bite you when you aren't looking. I am just going to have to get me a dell. The prices are coming down on those and I don't do a lot of gaming so I don't need all the bells and whistles. We also need to add a transmission to the wish list for the Jeep. If Tammy and I didn't have bad luck we wouldn't have any luck at all.

Well that's about it for today little buckaroos. I am going to go out there and look at all ya'll sites which I haven't been able to do in a while.

BE COOL.

Part Thursday/Part Friday

Life is going ok right now. Finals are next week. I have been studying harder trying to get an A in this class. Good news though, I got an A on my last paper. I should have had an A on the first paper, but I forgot to box something on the paper like he asked us to do, and I got a 8 points knocked off. So, it ended up being a B. Oh well, what are you going to do.

I am still having problems with the PC. Shumpy is supposed to come by Sunday and we are going to try and set something up temporarily. I am not giving the PC to my brother to fix until this class is over, because I still have Office working on it. It is a lot easier to work on it then the old dinosaur I have in the kid’s room.

I am thinking about opening my own moving business. JK. I have to move the MIL this weekend. Between the family and me I am having been moving somebody every weekend since the 22nd of July. So if anybody calls me to help them move; I am retired after this weekend. Except, Silent Dave. He saved my life when I had to move. You know it is always funny, when you are moving how everybody has something going on. If I were throwing a big party with naked girls everybody would show up. Maybe that’s what I need to do the next time I move. I will hire a couple of strippers to show up so all my friends will show up to help. Used all it took was buying everybody some beer and pizza. Of course now, we have a lot more stuff to move. It used to be all we had was a mattress, box springs, a T.V, and maybe a couch. Moving was easy. I used to be able to move my whole household in one load in a Nissan pick-up truck. That’s not how it is anymore. Somewhere over my lifetime I have acquired a lot of stuff. Do you think it might be because I have a wife now? I swear we have more shelves in our apartment than can be hung up in a six bedroom house, and I put about 5 more in storage the other day. We have not been able to get everything put up in the apartment yet. Tammy has been working on it a little bit at a time, but with everything going on with her mother she just hasn’t had the time. There is still a lot of stuff in the living room that needs to be put up or sent to storage. Maybe by the time we move out we will have everything put up where it goes. Matti, our little Chihuahua, loves it though. She has so many places to hide and play in now.

I have got a full weekend ahead of me. I have a paper I have to write. It’s not due until the 18th, but I like to write it over the weekend instead of during the week. Also, we have to move the MIL; I have to replace the brakes on the Jeep, and Shump and I are going to work on the computer.

I started writing this post on Thursday at work. Work got so busy yesterday that I could not finish it. I am thoroughly looking forward to this weekend. NOT.

I did get some good news last night in school. I turned my latest paper in, and the professor graded it while we wrote another paper in class last night. I got a 96 on it. That made my night. Then at 3 am this morning my wife woke me up with some more good news. Her oldest niece had another baby boy. 8 lbs. 21 inches. Great news, but I could have waited until this morning to hear it. Oh well, its FRIIIIIIIIIIIIIDAY.

Hope all ya’ll have a good weekend. BE COOL.

Life sucks and so does my PC

Well the pc is still down. The motherboard took a big old dump again. My father is raging pissed at my brother right now about. He keeps trying to say it is viruses, but when I have to move Ethernet cards and such because the processor can’t see them. I don’t think it is a virus. I can’t get certain programs to load up either. They fail half way through the installation. I haven’t been able to get to the old computer because either the kids had it tied up, or MIL was sleeping in there.

The house is quiet again. The kids were over for the weekend. I never realized how much space we had in the house compared to the apartment until we are all in there together. They go home today and we took the MIL home last night. She went back to work today. She is doing real well. Thanks for all of ya’ll’s concerns. It was not bad having her around though. She bought a lot of stuff for the apartment and Tammy actually cooked a little while she was over. Yeah baby.

The best news is that the little one that we raised from two months old until he was two years old got to come over Saturday. His mother called us Friday and asked us if we wanted for him to come over Saturday. Naturally we were ecstatic. I went to pick him up. I am having Shump post a pic of the little one doing his favorite thing to do.

He loves calling me on the phone while we are driving down the road. He and I played all day together Saturday. We got up and cooked breakfast Sunday morning. We had a blast. His mom is going to let us get him more often now. I am so ready for him to come back over, but I can wait.

School is busy as hell. We are writing a paper every week. I am not doing to bad. I am just ready to get this class out of the way. Summer session classes suck. I will either be posting from school or Shumpy will be posting for me. I can’t get to the site from work so we I get a minute or two I am going to send my post to Shump on a word doc so he can post it. I can check the responses on my phone, but I can’t post from it yet. I am going to be getting a phone where I can, because I am tired of messing with the computer at home.

That’s about it for now. I doubt I will post everyday, but I will try to post as much as possible.
BE COOL.

PC Down!!!!

Hey my computer crashed at the house again. My brother is working on it. I think I need to just go and get a new one. I can't bitch too much though it was free from my family. My dad is getting pissed at my brother for building such a POS. I got a free line out of work today so I could post a short message. It is good to know the IT department and have the hook up. Tammy's mom is doing better and staying at our house right now. Thanks for the prayers. She had to have a stint put in. I will catch ya'll up later this week. I will be blogging from school.
