Look what I found!



Since Thursday, Kim has been without her cell phone. We've been looking for it for two days. Under couches, in clothes, behind tables. Nothing. Last night, at 10:30 no less, I started looking again. This time with the lights out. It seems that it was on "pager" so it wouldn't ring, so I needed to see it ring. I was in every room in the house, calling the phone over and over and over again, looking for a light. Most of the search was spent crawling, looking under everything. When that search turned up nothing, I went outside and crawled in her car. Nothing. Then, on to my truck. Sucess! It seems the best place to keep your cell phone is in your spouse's seldom driven vehicle as far under the front seat as you can reach!

By the way, if you called, call again. She missed 35 calls and had 8 voice messages...

Where did he get all that crap?

I spent 7 hours of my Sunday cleaning JD's room...

When the smoke cleared, I had removed three totes full of toys that will go into our next garage sale, four BIG trash bags of junk, and enough dirty clothes for a week at camp! Everytime I asked him to clean his room and get rid of the toys he doesn't play with, he said "I play with all of them". Not anymore! I am painting his room tonight and will try to post pictures of his new bed that I built along with his new paint when I get a chance.

The carnage didn't scare Kaylee. She asked that I do her room next!

This is a Guitar Hero...

I tried this song on "Easy" and made it 3:45 into the song that lasts over 7:00 minutes, this guy is good (it says on one of the comments that he is one of the GH-III creators).

Fifteenth Time's a Charm!

Kim made it past "Hit Me With Your Best Shot". Presently she is destroying "Rock and Roll All Nite." Try number 2, I mean 3,is coming up...

Guitar Hero? Hardly!

Kim is on try number 7 or 8 or 14, trying to win at ONE song on Guitar Hero for Wii. It's sad really... being a guitar god is NOT in her future...

What Stinks? Oh, it's just him...

"SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- A measure seeking to commemorate President Bush's years in office by slapping his name on a San Francisco sewage plant has qualified for the November ballot.

The measure certified Thursday would rename the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant the George W. Bush Sewage Plant.

Supporters say the idea is to commemorate the mess they claim Bush has left behind by actions such as the war in Iraq.

Local Republicans say the plan stinks and they will oppose it."

This is true, I didn't make it up. Voter's can do that in California because of the ballot initiative law that they have!

Where have I been?

I have been at work. I have had a lovely week, dealing with little issues at work that have really wore me out. I'm trying to hire an AE -- already turned down by the candidate that I wanted, so now the process starts all over.

I am constantly interupted so I have not written either of the proposals that I need to get done.

Kim and JD just walked in... see what I mean?

I have been good about riding my bike the last two weeks. I drag Kim along with me every morning.

Baseball is over. We lost three pitchers and two coaches to another team. That mean I will be a coach next year, which I am looking forward to. I have a list of things that will be different next year.

My reunion is 8 days away. I did not lose 20 lbs. Only about 5. Oh well, there's no one there that I will be trying to impress, most of the people I hung out with probably won't even be there.

I created a new "mix" tape, have a listen...

10:15 PM Tuesday Evening...

any guesses where I am?

It's kinda like "Where's Waldo" only more fun.

OK, Time's Up!

If you guessed that I was behind my desk at work, you are correct!
Gawd, being in charge is fun!

48 Hours

I just finished 48 hours at Webelos Camp with JD. SO what did I do when I got home at 3:45? Took and 15 minute nap and headed off to work. That's right... no shower, no shave, no tie, just Dee back in his chair in his office. I am mainly gathering up stuff to take home and get done for a meeting in Wichita tomorrow... it doesn't pay to take time off.

Wow! I need a vacation.

Bits and pieces from my life:

I have driven my grandma's car 2700 miles in 11 days of using it as a work car.

Mileage reimbursement from those trips paid for 1/2 of our vacation and will pay for a Wii for JD (once I find one)

I let two people go last week -- meaning I am the only traveling sales person at MarketAide (same as before I let her go :-) )

Vacation was great. Ask about my photo book when you see me.

JD will play his 6th baseball game since Friday tonight. Thankfully they were all in Salina.

The break between Friday's game and Saturday morning's game was shorter than the break between Saturday morning and Saturday evening's game.

Here is a very nice picture for the movie poster promoting the remake of "Deliverance"



More Later.
