So my big project these past two years has been building a patio and leveling the backyard. Both of these are to help keep the ground drier so that the dogs don’t track in mud. FInally threw in the towel and decided to get a contractor to get me a bid on doing the project. I just can’t seem to be able to finish it myself. Kinda annoyed that I need help in setting the railroad ties but they are just too heavy for me.
On the adoption front. 2 months or so until the big day. Getting really nervous. Will I always make the right decisions? Will I be a good dad? I can’t be the first prospective parent to worry about these things. I just hope that I don’t screw anything up. I figure minor mistakes are going to happen and are ok. I just don’t want to make any big mistakes since mistakes in this situation will effect my son for the rest of his life. Gotta remember to teach him how to be a good man.
Man I am feeling introspective tonight. Usually takes a few beers to get that way but I haven’t had a drop in a while. No big grand plan to not drink, just lost the taste for beer. Used to have a beer with dinner on occasion but now it ends up overpowering the flavor of the food. Oh well, at least I know I won’t miss it if I do give up my six pack a month beer habit… I really have toned down since back in college.

Been almost 5 months since I last posted. Not much has changed. Including my weight. Got the creative urge though so I need to figure out how to channel it into this site. Stay tuned.

Got a bit of a bug. Dizziness, fever, chills and disorientation. Lovely mix. Going to take it easy.

On the eating and exercise front, things were alright today. Not good but not too bad. But did make it to an Arkansas Naturals game. Something different to do and it wasn’t that bad. Probably make it a once a year kind of thing.

Worked out during lunch and stuck to my diet over the past few days. Having to start out really slow since I have a bit of a cold and I also don’t want to stress my back out… That was supposed to be the sum total of what I had to say about my day.
Instead, I had a bit a crisis with my dog. Came home after work and went into the backyard to play fetch with Boudreaux and Solomon. Looked like Boudreaux had been playing in the mud since he brown clumps of stuff of his face… Nope it was blood. Don’t know how but he gashed the shit out of his forehead, right above his eyebrow. Inch long cut right on the eyebrow ridge. Holy shit, did I freak out. And I still can’t figure out how in the hell it happened. Both dogs were locked in the backyard. No weirdness between the two of them and Solomon does not have a penchant for disfiguring Boudreaux so I don’t think it was Solomon. Right now the only guess I have is that Boudreaux got his head stuck under part of the fence. He does do that but it is a big leap to go from watching him do that once or twice to ripping an eyebrow up.

So I have decided to renew my effort to blogging… I look forward to putting content out there for future interviewers to look at while doing a background research on me. (You laugh but that is what we looked at for one of our recent new hires. His hobbies showed a technical curiosity that helped tip things in his favor.)
BTW. Most of my posts are going to weight related since the underlying motivation is that when I blog about weight loss I actually lose weight. Something about not wanting to let down some mythical audience who reads my blog. On your right you will see two widgets that will be helpful. The first will be a line graph tracking my weight loss. The second will be an aggregation of my Nike+ info.
