4 Hour Sleeping Blocks

I have found for some time now that I sleep in 4 hour intervals. I usually go to sleep quickly and sleep for about 4 hours, wake up to check out the final scores of all of the sporting events that I didn't stay up for and watch TV for an hour and then go back to sleep.
Now my doctor would say that I have a sleeping disorder...duh. But I don't think that taking another pill is what I want to do. What I think would help is for the Cowboys to start winning again, my yard get raked by the a bunch of illegals while I am out of town, and for all of our employees to not give me any anxiety.
I guess the reason I share this is for all those that read this see that we all get affected by crap like this.
Halloween was not very eventful at all. I went to dj for the local high school pre-game dinner, and my wonderful wife surprised me with a birthday cake and brought it up to the school dragging a bunch of reluctant people who were there cleaning up the mess. Trick or treat is not what it used to be. Best costume at our door was a voting booth with two bags of candy...one for the old man and the other for that Tiger Woods guy. that is how she was going to determine who was going to win.

Bad economy...What bad economy?

I had a full day yesterday and went on 6 sales calls and sold 5 of them. People have money, they just are more particular in how they spend it. I am going to start taking my camera and start posting pics of Dog of the Day...they are much cuter than my kids.
A follow up on the polyp...non cancerous...wooohooo. But they did find a geode inside with a hat on.

From A to Z and all the guts in between

My life is pretty mundane and I don't have a lot to say lately, mainly because it all seems the same to me daily. Going a month without posting seems like a long time but then I think about how long it was before I even thought about doing a blog before I actually did it and one month is not so bad...ramble...ramble...ramble.
If you want a CD with the songs that were played at Grandma Erwin's funeral, put in your order now, I will start burning and mailing this weekend.
We went over to Meredith's house to watch conference Sunday and at the end of the afternoon session (which ended at 6 pm our time) it had been a long day for a 2 yr old. It was time for the closing prayer for closing session so Avery bowed her head and folder her arms for the prayer, and since it was the last prayer of conference it got pretty long. I called it the "walking prayer", cuz that is what Avery started to do after 30 seconds of this long prayer. As she walked across the room towards the TV with her arms still folded and head bowed, I thought that maybe the spiritualness of the prayer was drawing her to the TV, but instead she walked over and picked up a balloon that she and John David had been playing with, and used just one hand as she kept her head buried in the other one. As the prayer finally ended, and we were all cracking up watching her, I hope she didn't get the idea that it is ok to laugh at the end of prayers.

By the way, I had my colonoscopy today and looking at the picks, I did a good job of instituting the cleaning out process. One polyp was found and no geodes...thank goodness cuz Owen would probably want to have show and tell in class. The pictures were pretty cool if you like guts. I will scan and post if I have just one request from anyone out there...just one is all it takes.

Thought for the Day

A Dork is a Nerd with confidence!!!

One of the Mysteries of Life

Well, I finally downloaded the Labor Day Pics at the North Carolina lake house. What a beautiful place.

As we took a walk something very thought provoking occurred to me...how can a gnat fly backwards for 1 hour and hover in front of my face without looking over it's shoulder to see if it is going to run into something.

I guess it figured that if he was going to back into a tree my face would be close behind.

It was a humid but fun hike just the same (if hikes can be fun).

On Sunday evening right at sunset we were serenaded by a person playing the bagpipes. It echoed across the lake and you could hear it far away.

I have also decided that I still hate Jet Skiers...the most rude people on any lake.

Please say that it's so!!!

If only it could happen this fast.

A little Taste of the 80's

Lindsey calls me and tells me that Owen was going around the apartment singing "You're all I got tonight, you're all I got tonight." Nothing like your grandson singing the Cars...and of course Hazel not wanting to be outdone wanted to here the clapping song..."My bestfriend's Girlfriend."
Watch out American Idol.
