I have come to the conclusion that I am just too damn nice. Being nice is suppose to be a good thing, however when people step all over you all the time the niceness begins to wear thin. I am getting so tired of worrying about other people all of the time. I have long since come to the conclusion that we are all put on this earth for a reason ( Read more... )

I posted pictures on Facebook of Nikole's second birthday and the trip we took to the Dells last August. I just got a phone call from Stevie asking me to delete the one of him in the hot tub. Apparently, his friends saw it and are giving him a bunch of grief. He had swim trunks on, the air from the hot tub jets collected in the trunks and it ( Read more... )

I have the day off for the holiday, thank you MLK! Had a great time at the Cubs Convention yesterday. Joe called me last night and said that Steven was on the news, he was in the crowd at the convention. Cool ( Read more... )

I am going to the Cubs Convention tomorrow!! Steven won tickets for all 3 days from his work. He and a friend went yesterday to have lunch with the players in the VIP area. He got pictures of himself with lots of current and former Cubs players and with Lou Pinella. He and Anita are going today and tomorrow he is taking his dear old Mom. I can ( Read more... )

Ok, for the two relatives that I have who commented on the pants I bought for Joey.....Joe got a call from the school principal who told him that Joey would need to stay after school for detention because there was a large hole in the knee of his jeans. Joe told them that Joey only had one pair of pants and that he would find a way to get him some ( Read more... )

When Joe and I were driving to go out for our weekly breakfast, I spotted my lost garbage can alongside the road about a block and a half away from my house. Joe walked the garbage can home without me asking him to. I guess not every guy would be willing to walk a battered garbage can home along a busy street!

Steve, Ana and Nikole are back from Ecuador. I had to go to O'Hare last night to pick them up. Didn't get home until 1 in the AM, I had already spoken with my boss to take a vacation day today because I knew that I would be useless at work ( Read more... )

Steve, Ana and Nikole will be home tonight from Ecuador. I have to pick them up at the airport later. I am looking forward to seeing them, they have been gone since December 13th. Gonna have a late Christmas here for Nickole. I know that her relatives in Ecuador spoiled her rotten and my presents and not as elaborate as what they can afford but ( Read more... )

With so many people making goals for the new year, I decided to do the same thing. However, my goals are simple....

1. Have a good attitude
2. Be happy

Here's my logic, if I try to achieve number 1; number 2 will happen with little or no effort.

New years Eve was the best! I danced most of the night, even attempted the electric slide! I am sure that the woman next to me thought I was a moron but I had a good time anyway. The food was good, the dancing was fun and the friends we go with every year are the best. The only bad part was that before we got there, a woman passed out in the ( Read more... )
