Final prep of the house before we put it on sale!

We are so close I can taste it and so can Deidra. We are finding ourselves looking at homes in Colorado on almost a daily basis now. We have several areas narrowed down and I think we will be making some very large moves in the very near future.

Had the carpet dude come by today to give us the estimate on our back three rooms....that will be the last big thing we have to do other than some touch ups with paint some decor issues which we should be getting fixed after the carpet goes down. Easy to do the decor of rooms with no furniture in them and since we have to move the furniture out to make way for the new carpet, we can just make them look "sale prep" ready. Looks as though our world is about to open up into a life change very soon. I'm getting chills just blogging about it right now.

Click "HERE" and look at my post in the archives for December 2nd, 2006. Amazing that it is now coming to an end. Need to settle down. Going to bed.

Football Is ON!

So we are back in action! Bout time guys! Lets dig into the Mile High turf and get our game faces on! We got to make an example of those who enter our field with rude intentions.

Gotta say, If we trade Orton and go with Tebow.....That would be ok with me. Hope we get a good trade for the guy though. He doesn't exactly suck.

7 lbs down!

So here we go again! Will post my weight loss every week or two.

Back to the Gym

So we decided that it is important to keep a gym membership. Once we got on a pretty good diet and exercise program at home, we got rid of it. The problem is, if you are not paying money to a gym to get in shape, you don't have to pay anyone to get into shape....thus you do not get into shape, because you'll be damned if you are going to waste free time doing something that "hurts" or "makes you tired" (thus getting you into shape)....so you have to go back to that place that you hate to go and pay for a membership to force you to go because you have to pay and you'll be damned if you are going to waste good money on something that you do not use.

Trust me...read that over. You will understand...and agree.

Plus you never want to look like this guy:

Ok Ok OK!

So last week my little family went on a much needed R&R vacation to the land of clean air and beautiful mountain sunsets. I took my camera and popped off about 700 plus photos in "RAW" format that has been a bit hard to work through on my NIKON software. I have been able to get some of the photos formatted to a smaller more web friendly version for your viewing pleasure. These photos are in a file on my computer and I will be putting them on this blog in order that they were taken with a little info about each. Bear with me because the reformatting from RAW to JPEG is not as easy as you would think with this many photos. Here are a few of the photo's that were taken at random times throughout the week. More to follow.

Photo from "Our Garden" near the Garden of the Gods.

At the Olympics Center in the Springs.

Pic of Rae on the way to the top of Pikes Peak.

One gorgeous sunset taken from....."Wal-Mart"....go figure.

Went to Jose Muldoon's for lunch one day. Great food, and very good memories for me and my best friend CJ. (It's changed quite a bit CJ...go check it out sometime)

Many more to come and in better order.

Love it!

Missouri Blizzard 2011!

So...its been over 100 years since Missouri saw such a storm. I've seen 4. However it is still funny that if you turn on the radio, it is nothing but gloom and doom for the state of Missouri for days to come. I have to say I'm amazed that people are not straddling highway billboard signs holding up handwritten cardboard signs with the words "Repent! For the time is at hand!" written in bold black letters on them. You would think that the worlds end is at hand listening to the radio and talking to people around here. What can I say. If you lived in Colorado you would understand that a blizzard is nothing more than a bunch of snow being blown around that makes it hard if not impossible to drive due to visibility....not because OF snow...but the addition of wind BLOWING snow. You could have blizzard conditions with several inches of snow...just happens that we are getting a bunch of the white stuff too. It will be white around here for a good week or so, but the roads will be OK for the most part by Friday. Don't go out and buy canned goods and boxes of Spam and Tang just yet. We will be OK. None the less the snow is beautiful and I'm going to take a bunch of pictures. Lets face it...snow is a rare thing in this state so I need to enjoy it while I got it...wont be around for another 100 years to see more! I say...tuck in and enjoy the wonder of mother nature. It cant snow like this all the time. Pictures to come soon. For those of you out in this that don't have to be or for those filling peoples heads with the hype of how Missouri will never be the same after this....do me a favor m-kay? Look up the word "Stupid" in the dictionary...then look in the mirror for me...then make the connection.

My 35th Birfdaze!

Got a card from my Mom and Dad on my wife's side.....I couldn't stop laughing! Here it is, enjoy!

Thanks guys...good stuff!

Champion once again!

So here is to the end of another NFL year and the end of yet another NFL Fantasy Football year. I ended the season by winning my second championship by knocking off the #1 team to make it into the Super Bowl and by beating the #2 team to win the Super Bowl once again! For my prize???........I got....eh....well.....nothing.

My trick? Put Broncos on the team. Both of my Super Bowl wins came at the hands of Denver Broncos. I benched Drew Brees and put Tebow in for my final game. Had I not done that...I would have lost. Gotta love my Broncos!

Happy New Year!

Well here it is 2011. This is the year. The year of many changes. Uncertain times ahead, but sure of one thing. I will look back in years to come and remember what a good decision it was.

Happy New Year!

God Bless.

TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

His 1st Mile High Come Back!

Broncos 24 - Texans 23

Now Texans...do the right thing! Fire your coach...so WE can have him back!

My fellow Denver Bronco fans, do you feel that? That sensation that you are feeling is that "Orange Crush" feeling of old. Yes, it is coming back! Next year will be the first year in a long time that we have had a team leader behind QB. Now we need to work on our defense and get a couple more weapons to step up.

That feeling may also be the fact that the Raiders and the Chargers just got their comeuppance and went home with heads dropped to the floor. Season enders...both of em...HA! For you uneducated Charger and Raider fans...the definition of "comeuppance" is: a punishment or retribution that one deserves. So....Go Home! NO SOUP FOR YOU!
