Flubber.

I've lost a little weight playing Wii Fit. I got excited this morning when I figured out I could wear a pair of pants that didn't fit the last time I tried them. I just went to the bathroom at work and saw myself in the mirror and I look kind of bad. I think the pants kind of give me a muffin top...or some more masculine West Virginian version of a muffin top. Pillsbury biscuits popping out of the tube, maybe?

It's my birthday!

After 32 years of being snubbed by other types of exercise today Wii Fit offered me these kind birthday wishes.



This is not the kind of creature comforts I've come to expect from fair-weather friends Jogging and Jumping Jack. Take a hike fellows, there's a more thoughtful physical exertion in town!

PS: I'm unsure if "creature comforts" was appropriately used in this post. I said it because I think it sounds cute. I can do anything. I could shit on your head and tell you it's raining. IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!

PSS: Kind friends who read my blog, I'm sorry I said that thing about shitting on your head. I thought it up and it sounded funny, like something Dr. Phil might say.

PSSS: Expect me to talk more like Dr. Phil in this year of my life...it's my new thing.

PSSS: Thanks so much to everyone who came to my party on Saturday. It really meant a lot to me and it was so great to see everyone!

I love this so much.

Dancin'

I'm I appropriate in thinking that a car with a bumper sticker that says "Dancin'" being towed away is the funniest thing in the the world or is this something that is distinctly my sense of humor?!?

Punch Fight Party.

It's Beautiful.

Thanks Shane.

Check out those ass holes on the box!

Yup, we got one of those. A BebeSounds, so I can DJ the unborn baby some womb tunes. I put some little speakers on Heather's belly and jamming though the amniotic fluid the first songs heard by the little girl were.

Velvet Underground - If You Close the Door
Donovan - Wear Your Love Like Heaven
The Primitives - I'll Stick With You
Sweet - Fox On The Run

Then causing the ruckus I felt her kick for the first time when I played Suzi Quatro's Can The Can! I saved it for last because I thought that Suzi was some intermediate level shit but our little genius stated kicking like Pele.

That's my girl!

I made a Westcoast Kickball...

Wow. Today I got a email that I vaguely remember sending myself a year ago. Futureme.org is a website that you can send emails to yourself and set them to arrive at any point in the future. I sent this to myself a year ago today. Some background, Maw Maw B is my Grandmother Baker and Poppie is my grandfather on my mothers side.

Dear FutureMe,

I've tried. I want to be like Maw Maw B. There is no one on this earth as kind hearted as her. I want to be like my Poppie. Few People have his patience. I'm from the same genes but I'm not like them in the ways I'd like to be yet, maybe it just comes with age. What I am. I'm a good friend. I'm a good listener. I get lost in my own thoughts but I think about the people I love a lot. I've got a ways to go but I'm a good person. I've had good people raise me and good role models. I'm working on having enough knowledge to know myself and be able to express and explain my actions.

I'm not sure what was going on with me exactly at the time but with all the thoughts and emotions I have running though me lately with the baby on her way the heartfelt analytical hindsight did me some good.
