I just closed on a new house recently *and* I just found out I'm going to be a first-time father! Woo!
Awesome! Congrats man.
Stubbing my toes on my own bed.That's the kind of bizarre joy that I really appreciate.
Oh heck yeah. Not to mention, there is nothing like coming home and using your own toilet. It sounds odd, but man when the toilet breaks it's like being stabbed in the back by your best friend.

"Look!" *whoosh* "It flushes!" *whoosh whoosh*
"Dear - stop playing with it, wash your hands and come to dinner ..."
My daughter is getting dressed herself. I didn't even have to chase her around.
Yay!
Thanks, I'm on Cloud 9 right now.

Mucho congrats!

Yea! This is the most....blah, blah, blah.....
Sorry, 2 kids 10+years of marriage, tired of lying to get the newbs into the fold....someone needs to revoke my card....just joking. It is really cool, enjoy it. Someday you will game with that little embryo and it'll all be so damn cool!
Congrats...
"Housesitting" (aka subletting) a place in Brooklyn until later in the month, so my commute to and from work has gone from 2.5 hours one way to 20-30 minutes one way. All time that I hope to put toward illustrations that needed to be done, like, now.
Albeit a small amount, paid some of the debt off tonight.
Moving soon into super cool house that makes wifey happy.
Still like my job despite the stress and pain it is currently causing.
Mother's day present already bought and paid for.
Great weekend with the boy. It feels great that he truly seems to enjoy spending time with his daddy. :)
Gaming tomorrow. I've really been enjoying the break of being a player for these past few months.
Actually got some work done tonight, even if it's still not nearly as much as I was supposed to get done.
Sunny Spring days making my mood a bit better.
A rapidly recovering sick kitty.
A day without the wind blowing
Women's volleyball uniforms.
which is why I always had volleyball girls playing on the untitled site while we had our beer and bbq :)

Fresh peanut butter cookies straight outta the oven.
I've been at home sick all week, and I just had my delivery from Hirst Arts arrive. Yay!

Welcome to Brooklyn, James :)
Good things :
Seeing my son celebrating his 2nd birthday yesterday, growing up day after day, learning something new at every minute, and teaching me new things about life along the way...
My littlest has her second birthday tomorrow; I get her for two hours; aught to be a good time; gotta make cupcakes :)

Getting together with ... half my band in about an hour. *psyched*
The three of us are totally inexperienced, we suck, and we spend every second of practicing trying to figure out off-tempo rhythms in the poor acoustics of Dennis' (the drummer's) basement.
And we love every minute of it.
Peace out,
Shiny

Every great band has to start from somewhere. ~grins~ Just do your best and practice, then things should go a bit better!
Today's noise is tomorrow's Mozart.
Or tomorrow's Noise, if that's what you're into.

Two great band names, if you ask me.

I think I mentioned it the other day - but being home with my wife. I don't think that I can mention that enough. Getting to take the youngest guy to the build-a-bear store so he could get a new friend (that was fun!) Getting books in the mail (yay! gaming goodness!) Baked potato for dinner (can never have enough of those ...) Putting some things in the Paladin think tank thread that I thought actually had merit (for once.)

... being home with my wife. I don't think that I can mention that enough. Getting to take the youngest guy to the build-a-bear store so he could get a new friend (that was fun!)...I definitely know how you feel :-)
Oh, and potatoes: didn't KBR have baked potatoes in your DFAC?
Unfortunately ... My "shift" ran midnight to noon. COB Speicher is kind of big, so we usually missed "midnight chow" and definitely "lunch". The only meal I ate regularly was the breakfast meal, but ... I was a mission commander most of the time and couldn't get away to eat - so I would get a plate brought in for me, so I was at the mercy of the grabber. Most of the time I just ended up asking for whatever. I did, however, take a great deal of joy noshing on Shin Ramen when I got back to the CHUs...

Ahhh, yes! The infamous plate of cold, soggy fries and a single chicken strip! Nothing better after a long 36-hour day of getting shot at, IED'd, and mortared!
Oh, I forgot the 250ml carton of 2% chocolate milk with the missing straw! Now that's a complete meal!
...
...wait a minute. Maybe this should be in the companion thread...Things That Suck... :-(

I posted on the Things that Suck thread that my youngest son had a rough go after his biopsy.
Well, he was admitted for observation Monday night, but came home yesterday afternoon, and is now looking OK. He's on some antibiotics for the possibly pneumonia he might have.
But, the point of all this was the biopsy to test for any signs of rejection....
No signs of rejection!
YEAH!!!!
Three cheers for the little trooper!
Clean bill of health from the surgeon (though they haven’t done any counts yet). Due to a slight miscommunication, they thought I didn’t want to treat at all, but I think I’ve cleared that up and am headed to the oncologist on Monday morning.
Can pick up my son again (and give my wife a break), and even mowed the lawn yesterday (which, overall, didn’t suck as bad as it sounds).
Not too shabby really; three months ago I was busy confronting my severely moved up mortality, and today I feel pretty darn good. It’s nice to not think about being dead “real soon” every day.
Yay for everyone whos in good health!
In about ten minutes I'm going in for an interviev for an internship.

I want the whole story when you get back. Oh, and if you're wearing dress clothes, I WANT PICTURES!
Just after I received my Hirst Arts shipment, I drove into town to pick my wife up from work, and it was a local employer who'd interviewed me, looking to hire me!
...His first question was "Did you know your mobile number is wrong on your resume...?"
I've now been working a full week, at full-time rates, straight out of the gate, and I'm liking this new job, I must say. I didn't think selling furniture would be this fun, but I'm definitely not complaining.

Spent the weekend visiting Hershey in Pennsylvania. Interestingly enough, the town is actually called Derry Township. The wife and I were there as part of our 1 Year Anniversary. It was nice. We stayed at the Hershey Hotel, where even the soap smelled like chocolate. We didn't actually go into Hershey Park (the weather was kind of blah) but we went into Chocolate World, visited the Hershey Museam, and went on a trolley tour of the town. All in all, it was nice.
Free box seats to Radiohead! Going to the show in 36 hours!
So many people have come to me and offered places to stay, help moving, and general love. Even strangers, like my neighbors I never talk to and friends I haven't seen in years. People really aren't that bad, on average.

Shiner Bock is good. Especially with pizza.
Mmm...Shiner Bock. It's good with everything! :D
