dahlia is fascinated w/bodies right now.. she’s fixated on my scar for example for my appendix thing…
also on boobs… she is fixated on breast feeding……
so she was taking this nutcracker doll guy we have… and trying to breastfeed him
she was making his mouth close on her nipple with the little handle on his back.. Elsa was laughing so hard when she saw her doing that…. she told me and i was laughing…..
Back up to my original weight.. maybe a little more.. working out almost every day… which really means i jog or go to gym… jog is more of a 1 mile run and 1 mile walk.. i found that when i was on the roids pretty heavy my lungs did not have nearly the asthma issues that i have now… Right now 1 mile into it i can’t get enough air. I am going to investigate doing more albuterol before i jog.. could really open things up… workouts in gym have been good but not seeing a lot more muscle gain anymore… maybe I’ve hit a plateau.
Otherwise things are pretty good.
Monti and D had their first days of school respectively. I cried at Monti’s.. Not sure where that came from.. Must be the roids wearing off… The Joe from July would have beat up the Joe from September for that move. 😉
Monti seems to take to school well. Dahlia said it’s “not fun” when I asked her about it. But I think it’s growing on her. We got rear ended over the weekend. That wakes you up in a hurry. Elsa getting the car checked out right now. Waiting on some orders to come in to ‘make my year’ here at Apple. I declined going further in a job interview with Google at this point for a CSE position. The pay was not high enough… but the job looked very interesting.. Maybe I’ll go back to it in the future… Eating almost anything I ate before now… Though not nearly as ravenous as I used to be… I should go do a midday workout… adios…….
I enjoyed this 5th installment of the Mitch Rapp series. This was the first unabridged one of the set and I thought it was very enjoyable.. Again this is a mystery thriller…. Mitch gets revenge should be the title. Anyway.. George does a great job with the narration. A good solid can’t stop listening to it installment. (my rating 8/10).
Less amped than ever. Down to 20MG Preds these days… tho i am still eating like a horse.. back up to original weight.. working out a lot still (4x this wk)… tho i fear i may bulk up in the stomach than in muscles… oh well.. labor day weekend coming up… hot winds blowing.. after a relatively cool week.. we will go to racetrack tomorrow or something… kids day at racetrack.. also bumbershoot is going on in town… trying to plan out xmas.. fares are spensive esp since we are thinking of doing FL and IL … monti getting ready to go to kindergarten… she has a backpack with a phone slot in it.. now she thinks she needs a cell phone. dahlia getting bigger and talking better. still won’t go #2 on the toilet..but we are working on enticements.

Nickname for Dahlia – Dee Dee McGrawster McBeasley
Had a good day again yesterday. Out with LPK/KC. Went to (what we thought) was a rock climbing area, it turned out to be a water rock slide thing. Freezing water but very refreshing. The hike to it was 1 mile, mostly uphill. Monti made it the whole way, D made it about 3/4 way walking. The water was a big reward for that hike. We all got wet. The walk back was much quicker and cooler, but both girls got carried for that. Dahlia fell asleep riding on our shoulders back. Pix to follow.
Healthwise, I’m feeling much less amped, and unfortunately slightly less ‘happy’ than before. I am sleeping better. Went to bed about 9 last night got up at 4 (now). KC/LPK leave for airport this am. 5:30 wake up call for them. Strange to be up so early before everyone still.
Bought the new couch. I think it is great. Did a lot of furniture shopping on Sat to try to find things for this house and the new one. Then we saw Xmen 3. I liked it – needed some brainless action like that, though some kids kept kicking my seat behind me. I think I will use the new home theatre in the new house a lot more than I’d originally thought after that experience Saturday. We ate out 3 times, bought a set of Nike shoes that take that Apple iPod thing. But we are giving the thing to LuLu for her birthday. I will buy another one. Everyone sells them now.
I’m still eating like a horse, but not eating so healthily now so I’m packing on the pounds where they don’t go again. I am now going ‘back on my healthy’ diet. Not so much more cheese this or bread that.
Well that’s enough.

yep title says it all. i’m less amped in the am.. but still working out.. have a lot of energy around 10am-1pm… things are definitely better in the bathroom department… slept from 9:45 to 3:45 last night. had a very nice birthday with everyone, though I worked my tail off throughout the day for Apple. Was a very busy day and good busy. I think I’m still around 151 but feel like I’m getting a paunch back. I have to watch what I eat now.. no more free rides just to pack on weight. I would like to do it smart. Maggie got me a hilarious tee shirt that says HUMA_ with a horse playing basketball. JC also got me a tee that is a flowchart for helping people out with computer problems. It’s pretty funny. He got it in Thailand and has been holding it for my birthday. I emailed him this AM. Going mountainbiking with Elsa when she wakes, then on to customers.
Here is a pic of Dahlia that LPK took yesterday.. We’ll see how this shows up on this blog.
“OK, Fry, grab a Kleenex for this one, ’cause there’s no God and your idiotic human ideals are laughable!” is one of the things Bender says to get Fry to cry out the water emperor that he drank accidentally. Fry’s response is priceless: “Phew! That’s a load off my mind.”
