What makes me interesting?

Yesterday aunt Pam was talking about how much she loves my site, going on about my posts and encouraging others at the party to check it out. It left me thinking. What was so interesting about me and my thoughts? The site is great therapy for me, getting out all of my thoughts and what is happening in my life. But what make my site so interesting to other people? I will admit that I love attention, good or bad. So I love it when people comment and either agree or challenge me on something. Over 85% of the people that visit my site are returning visitors and I get on average 15 different visitors a day. So what makes you come to my site?

Not green just Cheap.

I have heard that spraying vinegar around your house is a natural pesticide. I also found that a gallon of vinegar is much much cheaper than the $30 dollars I was spending on pesticides for the out doors. So today I sprayed the perimeter of the house with vinegar and will test the theory. I will let you all know how it worked.

Hourly VS. Salary

This can be different in many situation but in mine salary is the only way to go. I am a very hard, and fast working person. I usually find a way to streamline a job, and do it in less time than most. So I don't think people should get paid for the hours they are at a job, they should get paid for the job they do. Americans would be much more productive if people got paid for what they did and not how long it took them to do it. I could work an 5-7 hour day and produce more than most people do in 8 - 10. Fortunately this is how I get paid now and I don't think I could ever go back to an hourly job. Me and my time are to valuable.
Which do you prefer and why?

Morning peace

This morning at about 4:45am I could not sleep so I got up and decided to have some quiet time as the family was sleeping. No children needing to be watch, and nothing be me and my laptop in the back yard. This is the first time in awhile I have sat out back and just enjoyed the morning. It's about 65 degree's, the sun is starting to rise, and the birds are flying and talking. My glass of milk and my Entenmann's - glazed devil's food popems are also helping with my Zen like moment. Parents need these moments to reflect and just enjoy being free like the birds.

The wife is a graduate.

Tonight my wife will become a college graduate. I'm have been very proud all day telling everybody I see that I will be going to my wife's graduation tonight. She has work very hard for this day and it has finally come. It has been a long, hard road but I know it will all pay of for us in the end. Congrats babe I'm very honored to of found a women like you. It's not easy balancing school, children, house, and a needy husband but you have done it.

With near death comes life.

I had a friend almost die the other day because he wasn't paying attention. You can read about it on his site. Now his web site has come alive. It's great how his near death has brought life to his dead web site. I hope he doesn't go brain on it again.
A brain Quote on his blog "Anyways, I will try my best to (as Steve says) not get "Brian" on this and keep it up. Apparently my name is synonymous with lazy."

Looking forward to having my wife back.

As you all know my blog as been very neglected. But the wife is in her last week of school (finals) and will be graduating on Friday night. It has been a very long semester for the entire family plagued with illness, drama and no time to spare for each other. Next week will be like living a new life. No school just the day to day challenges of life. I'm very proud of her for sticking it out the entire semester and finishing her degree. I know it was very challenging. This was not only a great accomplishment for her it will also help our family in the future when she decides to re-enter the work force. Love you babe.

F@#K IT - Just make it to Friday this week.

I enjoy some kids shows!

I never thought I could ever enjoy the shows my children like. They are nothing like watching good old Wylie coyote fall of a cliff or get blasted with TNT. I don't like a lot of them but some of them I actually like to watch. MY favorites is Backyardagains. It makes me laugh out loud. It teaches kids how to use there imagination and it has some crazy humor. Maybe I'm just a crazy old dad, but this is a very funny show.
What is your favorite kids show?

The dragging week

This has been a very busy week for me and it has just been dragging on. I have been getting up so early in the morning that I have been taking a nap everyday. I think my nap plan for vacation is working against me for my work week. The weeks fly by if I don't nap. But it feels like it should be close to Friday but I'm just starting Wednesday. Getting 2 days in 1 is not good during the week.

Bud Light Lime.

Monday was the national role out for Bud Light Lime. This new product was surprising good. I thought it was going to just be another fade that would come and go. It still mite be but I think it mite actually become a very popular product, especially in the summer. It is very limy and refreshing. This product would be great when doing yard work, out by the pool, the lake, or if you are just looking for something different. The wife surprisingly enjoyed it. Let me know what you think. I would really like some input.

Be True! Be Real! It will give you more respect from people and for yourself.

Bear with me, I'm in a rut.

Life has been very challenging lately and not interesting or exciting. Just the same old same. The blog is suffering but I will continue to push threw my rut, just hang in there. Thing should be improving soon.

My man / fruit moment

This morning on my way to my first stop Air Supply came on the radio. I was singing " She's every woman in the world to me". I rolled up the window and had my special moment. I looked like Chris Farley and David Spade in this tommy boy clip. It was an odd moment to say the least.
What song do you like but don't like to admit it? You know the one you know every word too but, you would dare start singing it around the office.
