wedded bliss

Just got back from Minnesota over the weekend where we saw my wifes aunt get remarried.
She and her new husband are both widowed and in their 70's and they went to youth camp together in the 1940's. Pam's Dad knew the groom but hadn't seen him in 65 years. So it was a little unique to say the least. it was real fun to see some of her family that we havent seen in a long time.

Kill count is impressive

I just watched the new Rambo movie and I must say that Rambo out did himself again. I don't think i've ever seen so many people graphicly killed ( you gotta love cgi ). I know that they track this somewhere. just haven't found it yet but I wonder what the kill ratio is compared to other movies.

Breakfast of Champions!

Coffee, Cheerios w/ strawberries and whipcream!

Today I might be getting my new(almost new) car

I'm not much of a fancy car person. Am I saying I wouldn't want a Porsche if I had one. NO! I'm just saying that it isnt very practical for a father of three struggling to make ends meet driving a 80k vehicle that makes him look like an overweight Greek Adonis. LOL!

what about a 2005 Ford Focus. That willmake me the talk of the town. My neighbor Angela (three doors down), unfortunately we have too many things in common. Her husband ( Jeff I think) is in Hospice care with a Brain Tumor and many other issues. We happen to share the same brain surgeon Dr. Rabin http://www.aboutnsss.com/NSSS-Doctor_Rabin.htm and the same infectious Disease dr Augustinsky ( not cool enough to have his own website) so she is stuck with two car payments and I'm hoping I can help stop the bleeding on that front for her. www.eloan.com already approved me for way more than I can afford and yes the practical me (and boring ) is gonna spend within my means instead of overdo it. approved for 24k and spending 10 at best. hoping we can close the deal and finance about 9500$ total after tax and title leaving me with a 150 a month payment for 72 months with no prepayment penalty.

i'll have to take a picture of the car and post it later today or this weekend. It will take about a week to process the paperwork.

GOD IS GOOD>

now if I could get that stupid Focus and a Dell jingle out of my head!!!!!

Did I get enough sleep?

I slept like 3.5 hours last night. Well I got up and went to the bathroom and when I walked out I just instinctively went downstairs instead of back to bed. I fixed outlook on Pam's computer, did some work on mine and then 5am rolled around I went and grabbed the papers. I had breakfast and made coffee then I wrote in my journal a little whilst reading my bible. Then I took my pills drank my coffee and here we are. 6:30 in the morning and ready for a nap. LOL!

A true step out in Faith to Bring People Back to God!

Today I went to Leadership Community at www.communitychristian.org and it was awesome.
The worship was powerful the Parody song to celebrate new leaders was hilarious. But most of all I got to see a person who is going to truly step out in faith to do Jesus' mission which is bringing people back to God. Aaron Monts and his wife are going to plant a Church in Sanfransisco one of the least churched cities in our country. they need your prayer and support in many ways. check out http://thesfproject.org Sign up to be a part of the prayer team It's the least you can do.

YIPPPEEEE!!!!!!

Tomorrow is my last day of antibiotics. They saved my life but after 8 weeks. Be gone with you! This also means I get my picc line taken out. peripherally inserted central catheterhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PICC_linein case u must know.

I can't really exercise/ use my Right arm for any kind of physical activity. So now it's time to get my butt off the couch and get into some semblance of shape!

Steroids end in 10 days. So I have ten days of exercising on steroids LOL. If I got em I might as well use them!

I've created a MONSTER!

Earlier this year I won one of those IPOD docks valued at approx. 50$ but I had no IPOD so it sat in our storage closet under the stairs for three months. Lately Pam has been complaining about not being able to rehearse her music upstairs in the Bedroom and having to be attached to the computer downstairs. So I broke down and bought a 200$ IPOD nano 8gb. Somehow Apple is the big winner here. My consellation prize is I got her a black one instead of a Pink one. Just in case I end up using it. Not that i'm not secure enough in my manhood to use a pink IPOD.

Now I can't get the woman off ITUNES and I swear we are going to have to add ITUNES to the budget every month. She is just starting to figure the thing out and I think she likes it! I will have to snag a pic of her using it one of these days.

I also have to admit I'm a little impressed with the quality of the device and software. Pretty wicked how the thing practically does everything by itself.
