  • I was really surprised and why are Young Christian Men Weirdos?

    OK, so I first have to tell everyone who was at my surprise birthday party last night THANK YOU…you are awesome.  That is the first time anyone has been able to throw a surprise party for my birthday.  Mandy you rock, good job babe, I had no idea it was coming.

    For those who weren’t there last night and have no idea what I am talking about my wife pulled of a great surprise party.  Yesterday was a great day, I met with the Chicago Bulls head strength coach and he really liked the software I wrote so he will probably end up purchasing it when we go to sell it in January.  Then, I drove home from Chicago and thought we were going to have dinner with a couple friends of ours and just have a chill night.  So when I walked into the house and a bunch of people came running around the corner with balloons and yelling “SURPRISE!!!!!” I was a little shocked because my birthday isn’t for a couple weeks so I had no idea this was coming.

    So yesterday was a great day.  Tonight Mandy and I are working on stuff and she was looking for something in her email and came across some really old emails and I just have to say that there are some men in this world who do everything that they can to repell women.  C’mon guys, quit being stalkers and you might have a chance.  Talking about a woman’s beautiful eyes (which they are) and asking her to go to Africa with you on a missions trip after only talking to her once is not the right way to do things.

    Anyway, I need to dig my way out of my inbox from being gone yesterday.  Have a great weekend.

  • My Biological Clock is ticking…

    Normally you hear about a biological clock when it comes to women, but thankfully my clock

    is ticking correctly.  Last week I read an article similar to this and it reminded me to be thankful that I had trained my internal clock pretty well.  Having a clock that was ticking correctly saved me this morning.  I had called for a wake-up call at 5:30 this morning so that I could get up and workout and still make it to the client site on time but the call never came.  But, I still woke up at 5:36 (alright so my clock is a little off, but hey, 6 minutes isn’t bad, give me a break).  So I was able to get up and work out like I wanted to.

    On another clock note…why are they still horking around (as a friend of mine calls it) with this bailout bill?  I agree with President Bush that this situation needs action in hours not days but wait, it’s Rosh Hoshana so let’s take a vacation in the House of Representatives…WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!  Are you kidding me?  We HAVE to get a decision on this crisis NOW, not later.  Either that or shut down the news companies like the chronically negative news spewing negative news all of the time which isn’t going to happen so get your backsides back into the House and get going.

    On a more positive note, I have a picture for you.  Earlier in September we had a NICU “Family” Reunion for kids who had to be at the NICU at St. Mary’s in Madison.  So without further ado, here is the picture.
