ME: "The most commonly reported side effects are nausea, insomnia, problems with ejaculation, somnolence, increased sweating, fatigue, decreased libido, and anorgasmia."
HER:"We will just have to try and check."
This was part of a conversation after I told my wife I was not feeling the same, like my brain wasn't connected to anything. Then finding out I took 3 times the dosage of what I was supposed to take.

King Cake?
It is that time again… Time for the company I work for to have all kind of fund-raisers for some random non-profit group. Even though I really did not want to participate I gave in late last night and baked a cake. I did not let anyone know what I had done and got to work early to place CAKE, as it will so be named, in the dining area. As the morning progressed I was soon stopped by co-workers wondering where the sample cake was that they had been anticipating… So I complied and supplied them with the duplicate of the cake to be auction for them to consume, in accordance with the prophecy.
So I will let everyone know if CAKE will be the high bid winner again this year.

All in all it's just another brick
It is done.
10 yards of fill sand, 8 4x4's, 750 paverstones and about 400 lbs of gray drainage stones and the outdoor patio is done.
My yard is not level and it took a lot of fill sand and some whacked engineering to build a frame and fill it to have a place for all the paverstones to sit somewhat level. It has been several weekends in the making, but I was determined to get it done this past weekend. As the kids played in their inflatable pool all weekend, I moved paverstones from 3 different piles to the area that had become a giant sand box for the dogs and kids. Out of the possible 750 paverstones I had available to me( I bought 3 pallets and each had 250 stones on it) I believe I have about 150 stones left. The weeks before I had to move the stones from their original pallet to another spot in my yard because my utility trainer could not hold more than 1 pallet at a time. So I would have to pick up the pallet, drive it home, then unload, head back and get another and repeat.
During this building process, close to being complete I took a small break to go and get the gray drainage stones. So I get the family truckster ready to go, drive the 20 miles to the Home Depot and when I get there it is blocked off by every cop, sheriff, emergency vehicle the town has. They were not letting anyone into the shopping center at all. A bomb threat I was told. So I drive 3 blocks down to the normally dead Lowes. Which is now extremely busy. I wonder if it was a lowes' employee, um never mind.
Anyway done done for now.

Echo
She’ll be my mirror
Reflect what I am
A loser and a winner
The king of siam
And my siamese twin
Alone on the river

A loser and a winner
The king of siam
And my siamese twin
Alone on the river

Mistletoe
The druids believe that mistletoe is special because it never touches the ground, and possesses symbolic fertility qualities.
Druid Stefan Allen, from the Mistletoe Foundation, revealed just what makes mistletoe so appropriate to smooch beneath.
"Traditionally mistletoe was considered to be the semen of the gods and of the forest, because the berries contain a liquid that looks like and has the texture of semen," he said.
"This is the real reason we kiss under it at Christmas, this and because mistletoe blooms in the dark womb of wintertime."
Huddled in a circle, the druids clasped bunches of mistletoe and performed a ritual asking for the plant to bring blessings to all the homes that it was going to.

Smile and the world stares at you.
Sorry for that last entry. Just in one of those dork moods. I finished up the video I was working on for work. Everyone else was impressed by it and loved it, but I still see my mistakes in the final production. I put on the social face of being satisfied with my work so that I do not get the inquiries into what could possibly wrong with me. Master of my own puppet controlled by threads of my sanity.

Is it really so strange
Today at work we are having an auction of baked good to raise some money for the local food bank. Being the charitable person I am(stop the snickering), I made a cake to sell and one for the masses to sample. Why bid on a delectable if you can't savor what you are bidding on? My cake is just one of twenty-three that are up for bid.
The cake.
I don't associate with my co-workers outside of work, so many of them do not really know me. I have been here offcially for 4 years, and was a contractor for about a year and a half before that. It amazed them that I am able to bake?!? Comments were made about how my wife did a good job, but I would let them know it was me who made the cakes. I would get these stunned looks and questions. Is it that odd that I can bake and cook? I do the grocery shopping. I take care of my kids. I love my wife. I can be an ass. I can fix a car. I can build furniture. I do what needs to be done. Big deal.
Update:
I kick cake ass. Starting bids on all items was $2.00. My cake went for the auction high of $31.00.

Fellowship of the ring?!? Past Part IV
Here is my wife's prom picture. The blow up section of her hand shows a small band. That band is our wedding band. We eloped a few month before her prom, during the week I was on Spring Break. We could not tell anyone that we were married because her school allowed pregnant girls to attend and not married ones. She was also a National Merit Finalist, Honor Society Member and all that fun stuff. None of our friends knew. Our parents didn't know.

Past Part III
The box contained old letters, photos, ticket stubs, stickers and just stuff from my youth. Going through some of the old items made me realize how simple our lives truly are when we are younger. Reading the old letters written to me and recalling the events around that time seem so trivial, but back then they meant a lot. Which makes me not like how old saying usually are correct. "Things will get better" or "You'll look back at this and laugh" I now find myself saying some of those same things to my kids and I get the same look I gave everyone else in my youth when I heard that stuff.
Continuing with items from my past I now present a picture circa 1988 of me and once again soon to be wife.
Footnote for Rose: Yes I had a pair of Chuck Taylor's, but in this picture I am wearing my K-Swiss High-tops. ;)

Place it in your memory - Leave it in your past - But don't forget
I happen to come across an old bag of stuff, inside and old box, buried in the closet.
Over the next few days I am going to try and post some of it.
This first one is for Indigo. If I remember correctly it was The Music for The Masses Tour.

I'm not a mountain, no.... you move me
I am trying to loosen the grasp my insecurities have on my trust. I am looking at the world thru different eyes. Ones that do not have the taint of a jaded view. My feelings can be still be genuine. I can see the unconditional love I have overlooked.
This morning as I was getting dressed, my youngest walked down the hall with her hair messy from sleeping and her lower lip sticking out pouting. I asked what was wrong a few times and she finally pointed to the front door. I asked if she wanted me to go to the front door and she nodded yes. We walked over and I opened it. She then asked, "What are you doing?" I replied, "Getting ready for work." and she continued to pout. As I was tying my shoes, my wife came into the room and said, "she says she is going to miss you"
