beginning

Hello blog, I don't ever have anything useful to write. I guess this is my attempt to kill time and empty my head which doesn't have much to begin with.   Anyone who reads this will already know who I am so I'm not going to go into great detail about my world travels and various major medical/archaeological/scientific discoveries.  But since people secretly (and some not so secretly) love talking about themselves here's the quick and dirty of my recent history and current status (happy/tired).

I have a beautiful wife.
She rubs people for money and makes things that smell.
I still love her though.

I have a beautiful daughter. 
She sticks things in her mouth without even being dared to.  She is everything.
















This is me.
I play music.
yawn.

We also have four cats who may or may not look like this.  I don't carry around pictures of them in my wallet anymore so I have to guess.  They have bad breath and like to lose their hair.














We just bought a new house in Mebane, NC and we are working hard to pay for it.  We also just bought a new car to go with the car we bought 2 years ago since the car we bought 5 years ago died, but it was 18 years old so it was time for it to blow up spectacularly and with much smoke.  We called it our Lego car because we glued legos to the top of it with plans to cover it entirely.  I doubt we'll do that to any of our new cars, well, new to us; they are 3 and 5, respectively. 

My wife, Kimmy(ie/ee/ey/eeyie), works as a practice manager for an acupuncture clinic and sees clients there as a massage therapist.  She also makes and occasionally sells all natural soaps and lip balms and whatnot.  She stays busy.

I am busy too.  I work full time for the hospital.  It's not my intended career field, but it's more stable than teaching and, sadly, pays more as well which is a major factor for us now that we owe the credit union our souls.  I am a musician as well.  I play in 3-5 bands with some regularity and rehearse on occasion, as I can drag time away.  It may sound like a lot, but that really equates to only 2-3 nights a week, 4-5 on particularly busy weeks.  I also work 2-3 overnight shifts a week stocking shelves at a grocery store.  It's not glamorous, but we are trying to pay a few things off so we can have another baby.  Childcare can be expensive, especially when there are more than one.  But, as my wife likes to say, my biological clock is ticking and I want more childrens sooner than later so I doubt I'll be slowing down any time soon.

I'll probably spend most of my time writing about my daughter, Zoe, in here.  That's probably for the best since we have basically become the baby/toddler (she's 2 as of last Thursday) delivery service for all family functions.  She deserves all of the attention though.   She's simply awesome.
Check it out.

OK.  That's all.
