Diary Picture Show

The first picture is my brand new niece, Lindsey. She was born Friday, May 21st, and she weighed 6 pounds and 10 ounces. The other pictures are random shots of Brandon.

Stuff

I think it's high time for an update, don't you? I'm still adjusting to my new life. I think I'm finally getting the hang of it now. For the longest time I was trying to figure out how to have "me time." I kept getting further and further behind on my little projects, and would still be bringing in new projects. After months of pondering, I've come to the conclusion that there is no "me time" anymore. It's all work, and all baby. The only way I can see that I'll ever have "me time" again is to eliminate work. The only way I'm going to be able to do that is to win the lottery, and that doesn't seem very likely since I rarely even play the lottery. So it looks like my music projects are just going to have to be left unfinished for a while. I hate going on hiatus. I was doing such a good job kicking out monthly Cruel Music CDs. It's going to be hard to get back in the swing of things now. Oh well...

Umm... I'm on a diet, I think. I've been 180 pounds for the last 7 years or so. With my lack of exercising, and my increase in chocolates I've found myself weighing 185 pounds all of a sudden. My nice, toned up belly is getting extremely flabby. Exercise is another thing that I need to figure into my ridiculous schedule.

Dad has not been doing so good. He sits around and cries a lot, and he hardly ever goes anywhere. I think Brandon is helping him. He does seem to be showing some signs of improvement. Now, if we could only get him to see a better doctor... He's about to have another stroke, but his doctor is retarded and can't see it.

Brandon... For the last couple months he's been keeping us up all night. He'd fight sleep as hard as he could, and wouldn't go to sleep until 4am every morning. For the last few nights he's been going to sleep at 2am. And, last night he fell asleep at 1am! I think we're finally getting him under control! Woo hoo! I got a full 8 hours of sleep for the first time in about five months last night!

Saw any good movies lately? That's another thing we haven't had time for. We managed to watch "Hot Tub Time Machine" last week. That was funny. I'm a big sucker for time travel, so when you mix comedy in with it, then I'm there, Dude!

Stone Temple Pilots' new CD comes out tomorrow. I'm really excited about that. It's been such a long time since any good rock music has come along.

My good friend of almost 19 years, Scruffy, is getting close to the end of her road. She's got tumors popping up all over her body, she's got arthritis in her hips, and now one of her front arms(?) is dislocated. She doesn't seem to be in any pain, which is weird. She's acting about like she always has. But, we're going to have to get her put to sleep in the next couple weeks. She's not in pain right now, but she will be soon, and I don't want her to go through that.



















But anyway, if I've been out of touch lately I hope this clears things up a little. I can kinda see the light at the end of the tunnel, so it shouldn't be much longer. But I'm serious, all I do is work, eat, change a few diapers here and there, and sleep. I'm really tired of it. Does anyone know of any good work-at-home programs that actually work?
