Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
none but ourselves can free our minds.
Right, what would i deem mental slavery? I suppose the thought that the news had me all hyped up that there would be ice and I35 would be closed down and I’d get a day off hanging out at the house. Sitting in the garage and writing post cards and drinking grape juice and eating pickles; But nope! They said it was going to be BAD BAD BAD and all I got was a slow down on a weird section of interstate. Not even a proper t4raffic jam. Due to all the people who watched the NEWS OF ICE STORM 09 and bought it and watched those movies they have had sitting there waiting for a free evening. Watch out net flicks your going to get a rash of send backs from central TX.   So the staying up late watching movies made every one late to work. Except me because I am not a slave to the news and I said to my self yeah right I’ll bet it is nothing!
Been awhile since I have said anything in this forum. I have not had a lot to say.
Just little crap that I don’t think you really want to read.
Been looking for a third car. Donated one and now need another. Been scouting 2000 to 2003 Saab 9’3 Viggens. Id would like a convertible but since I have a kid and it is really so stinking hot here in the summer I am thinking a 5 door is more like it. So keep your eyes peeled.
The Mini is home and ok, but I know in my head that it has been wrecked and my nature is to constantly be picking at it. And the baby riding shot gun is only a problem when you want to take some one other than the three of us need to go any where. I’d deal for now.
See this is choch you don’t want to read it.
And I am crazy busy, so I’d better cut this for now.
later

Want to see something really cool?
Of course you do.

My friends James and Elizabeth do some amazing freeze frame action and they captured the sweetness that is my baby.
Let’s just say you live in Central Texas and you want some pictures don’t say I never told you who to go to. I mean just look at my girls wow so hot. And to think people I live with these ladies. See; I need a son to help bring the universe back into balance. Alas, it will stay lopsided for a while hopefully.

OK this is an old post that I never posted from Christmas or Dec 27^th and my rule is that if it smells bad don’t eat it and if it is too dry don’t try to smoke it and if it is more than a month old don’t post it. So I am sliding this one in.

So we are flying home from California from Christmas and man I ever glad it is over. Jade has done pretty well on the flight. Right now she is holding onto her mommy’s necklace. So cute. I am listening to pinks new song “sober” thanking god I was somehow spared her life. The tag is “how do I feel this good sober?” Instead of living from one high to the next I love this life some of you would think is so gaud awful boring. no high highs but no severe lows either. I suppose right now would be one of the higher points. I am flying over some of the prettiest scenery. And I remembered my headphones and there is a demon child behind us. I am blessed with a good little traveler. Someone just gave their 6 dollar Asian chicken wrap back to the stewardess and said it was bad. She smelt it I’m like “oh no just give his money back.”
I am wondering how fun it would be to do a day in the life if post complete with pics and videos. Maybe if a bunch of us did this at once. Mrs. Vida Sara & Sarah fish Zach maybe even.
Jade is cutting her two first teeth and is a process that sucks. She is miserable. And I know what would make her feel better but I am Sure CPS could take her away and lock me up for administering rum soaked leather coasters as chew toys. Hey and for the record I have a friend who was teethed using this method and she is normal. Well pretty normal. Huh sis?
This coming week is going to be a blast though.  Jade and I hanging out and she is teething I can think of a couple of other alternative ways to spend my week that may be less stressful.
So for those of you about to try traveling with an infant in a car seat and stroller you have to un-strap the kiddo and put all that seat stroller madness through the TSA belt. I pinched the snot out of two of my fingers trying to fold the stroller they are still throbbing I pinched them that hard.

-ok, let me interject into my own here. I think I royally screwed my finger, two weeks later and it is still swollen and sore.-

Oh and the week with jade and I watching her was one of the longest ever and we finally got the mini back and then I took it back and they fixed some other things and we got it back and all has been well for a couple of days now with it.

It is not the easiest car to cart a baby around in but she loves it. It is so rough and bumpy and the road noise is so loud it puts her right to sleep.

pretty much every one but Josh and i have given up on Dave Matthews. But he did a song called “too much” and his has nothing to do with that except for the fact that i have too much going on and i cant help it. I have Tim Goss disease. He was a friend o mine long years ago when back in high school. Say anything and i mean anything and he would sing a song with what you just said in the lyrics. and it would not be just any song it would be a old show tunes song from forever ago from some old musical. i don’t know where he got them but but he had a library of old old movies. we would go out to his house i the middle of NOWHERE and watch these. I watched “father Goose” and “Some like it hot” and the “princess bride” (in know not as old but a favorite).

An way i have lately been reinfected with his singing disease. and i have too much going on. and i have been pretty heavily medicated with cold allergy meds so i am all jittery and it is crazy. Crazy, I’m crazy for feeling …. so lonely, I’m crazy crazy for feeling s blue I knew i love you as long as you wanted and then some day you’d leave me for some body new, Worry, why do i let myself….see what the.

Oh i gotta say this Oklahoma lost to Florida and Texas did not get ther big game and Obama was elected and i got prison issue converse for Christmas and NONE of that will change anything in the grand scheme of things. If there is a God and If he really loves me it is all gonna be ok. My car crash crap, may lack of parenting skills and my great uncle Bill going home to his real reward. and my Pop’s dealing with that. it is all going to be ok. why is it so hard to trust?
