I am looking forward to the day my son is old enough to have chores. It can be really hard to find the time and the energy to clean the house with an almost three year old running around. Even if we could just assign one task it would help. I mean, currently, he will do the vacuuming for us. Trouble is that he vacuums chaotically. Given the task ( Read more... )

What am I doing up at 3 AM? I am sitting in my son's doorway while he falls back to sleep, of course. This is actually the second time tonight. I assumed he was fully asleep about 15 minutes ago, walked away, and then he came back upstairs crying for me. I won't do that again. I'll wait here for twenty minutes then go in there and give him a good ( Read more... )

It's been forever. Really has. And I've had tons of ideas about what I should blog about over the past 300 years since I last posted, but never sat down to do it. I actually wrote an entry, at work, then submitted it, but then it completely disappeared. Right off the radar. No idea what happened to it ( Read more... )

For the longest time I have had 30 minute lunches at work. I recently went (back) to having hour lunches. I miss my two fifteen minute breaks, but I have to same I am really digging the hour lunch. The trouble with the thirty minute lunch that it wasn't really enough time to leave my desk (nor the office.) So, since I was at my desk people would ( Read more... )

I was watching WALL-E with the boy before bedtime just a little while ago and something struck me as odd; so, there is a little cleaning bot named Mo. He's cute and fun and all that jazz. What's weird is that when he talks he has a small little voice with which he just says, "Mo." But, when we see things from his point of view there is point at ( Read more... )

I've been watching a lot movies with my kid lately. Well, I've been watching the same two movies over and over and over again, and those movies are kind of freaking me out a bit. We've been watching Cars and Robots. Despite being 5 or 6 years old, they're both still really fun movies. I really do like both of them. However, they both really bother ( Read more... )

Okay, I've been a bad boy, it's been forever. I just haven't gotten to posting. Oops ( Read more... )

I didn't want my long absence to resume with "Ooooo, it's been so long. I wish I had a reason to post, wah wah wah." Still, I also didn't want to wait too much longer before I posted. So, let me resume posting with something light ( Read more... )

I got an email at work today that said that February was Heart Awareness Month, or something like that. Maybe the word "disease" was in there. I don't remember. Maybe they just want you to be aware that hearts exist. In any event, it made me sad for the month of February. It's no longer good enough to just be the 2nd month. Or to also be Black ( Read more... )

So... Someone I work with went ape-crazy generous and gave me a Nook Color. Man, what a cool toy! So, it's a reading devices, right? I mean, that's what it is on the surface. But, what it really is, is an Android tablet. I rooted it (which is like jail breaking or cracking or hacking), and once you do that, you can load the Android market and use ( Read more... )
