Reality Check
November 27th, 2006 . by CaryI am going to be a new daddy in less than a month.
I realized this (or should I say, this point was driven home to me) whilst listening to KLOVE on the radio the other day and John Rivers, the morning host (with his lovely bride Sherri) said that it was thirty days until Christmas.
Thirty days. Now, it’s even less. And Christmas Day is the projected due date of the bundle of joy. Are you in the pool yet? Over 800 BlogMad credits are up for grabs…
Less than thirty days. Wow.
So, how was your Thanksgiving Holiday? TMBWitW and I spent the day at the house, with the exception of the church service. We had some turkey and mashed potatoes, stuffing and peas (with baby onions). Friday I went to my toy store (big blue sign, rhymes with Bowes) and picked up some 2x4s and three sheets of 3/4″ plywood. Since the room that used to have our “extra” stuff in it is now a baby room, we have had some boxes and what not stacked in the hallway. I built some shelves in what is now the hobby room (as opposed to train room – I gave up some much-needed real estate, since I do most of my model railroading on a club layout; I need less room for a shelf-type switching layout than the miniature empire I had planned) so that the hallway can be navigated by a certain person who is much larger than she was a few months ago. Saturday was spent cleaning the house. Sunday was spent visiting TMBWitW’s cousins in Kingman, and, since it would be the last trip up there for a while, we exchanged Christmas gifts. It was quite enjoyable, and not nearly as traumatic as certain trips up there have been.
Wow. Less than thirty days.
I have one more project in the baby room – a “knob board” – basically, a board, with knobs mounted on it, to hang clothes on. Pretty, frilly, special clothes, on pretty, frilly, special miniature hangers. I’ll get a picture of that one, it should be good.
I missed doing this last Friday, so maybe this will make up for it:
Go here. Order a shirt or two, and steal this picture. Plaster it all over the web. Please. Show your support for our troops!
Thank you, God bless you all, Wear Red on Fridays, and get in on the Baby Pool!
Well on that Blog Mad stuff…
I attempted it; but I have a major handicap and that’s severe vertigo like symptoms. That’s why I had to stop. It can get much worse than that too but that’s not what it is, however that’s as close as I can get in explaining it so I have to be careful on the computer because clicking on web pages can ruin me if I’m not careful…
Weird stuff.
I’m happy for you Cary and excited. It’s been 12 years since I had such an expierence. It won’t be long until Ebyjo and I are married and who knows what the future will bring? We’re leaving all possibilties out there. Never know. 🙂
Man you work your tail off…
Good to go bro… Semper Fi!
Well, I can understand why you wouldn’t want to be on the computer too much, Gunz. That would be very discomfiting, from your description.
There’s always the possibility of putting your guesses in, and, if you win, transferring the winnings to Ebyjo, so she can have fun with BlogMad.
Be sure to keep us up to date with the wedding and whatnot. That would be an event to see, but I understand if you don’t want to post pictures.
I don’t work hard, I work smart. And I visit my chiropractor.
Semper Fi!
Sounds like you had a nice (and busy) weekend. Counting the days. Reality setting in. No adventure to Kingman and back.
What more could you ask for.
Can’t ask for much more, p1.
That’s the life of Reilly, right there.
Poor kid, my hubby is a Christmas baby, he kinda get’s forgotten. I do try to wrap some of his Christmas presents in B’day paper though.
Mines the 9th, and I still get Christmas/Birthday presents.
How exciting!!!! I remember when you first announced it, time flies.
I’m a Christmas baby myself – the 27th – and I got combined gifts my entire life. TMBWitW is 1/9; she also got “combined” gifts, even though that’s quite the stretch.
TMBWitW and I made an agreement – we would never, ever, combine the gifts for TMBCitW. Seperate gifts, different celebration. Yes, even the different paper.
Boy howdy, does time fly.
