Basement Update...

My friends Brad and Mike came over today to build a frame to hide my duct work in the basement. I must say, they did an awesome job! We also ran the cable for my modem and computer to the other side of the room. Next step is the drywall for the ceiling. One step at a time.

Chad called this morning and let me know that the Broncos drafted Jay Cutler as our QB! He is supposed to be this stud from Vanderbilt University. We will see. It will be hard to fill the void left by THE #7.

Deidra is done with her classes for the year. Final is Monday and Tuesday then it is all over. At least the first year is. One more to go! She is a stud.

IM BACK!!!

Its been awhile since my last post, but I have had a bunch of things going on for the last couple weeks. First of all, my little sis Lisa was down for the week last week and we had a great visit. We went to see Grandma at her hospital and she is doing fine. She looks great and is healing well. She is starting to get that spunkyness back that we all missed. During the week, we had several chow nights. Of coarse I grilled up steak, dogs, and brats on one of the nights. James made some pretty good spaghetti and my mom and grandma made some awesome ham another night. We went to Meremac Springs on Saturday and on Monday night Dad, James and I went to the St. Louis vs. Pirates game at the new Bush Stadium, which by the way was beautiful! Last week I also had Commercial Drivers License training so now I will be testing 18 wheelers and school busses. Im looking forward to that. It was a tough course with 2 tests daily. I aced the tests! BOOYA! As for getting good grades, I would like to mention how well Deidra is doing in college. She is holding down a 4.0 for the year and the year ends next Tuesday so needless to say I am so proud of her. She is amazing! Back to Lisa and James visit: Mary is a fireball! She is a cutie, and is full of piss and vinegar just like her parents. Donavan is a beautiful little fart with curious expressions. You can tell he takes in his surroundings with awe.

Anyway the week is over. It was fun while it lasted but its back to the daily grind. Ill post again tomorrow. Going to get some sleep after I whoop up on CJ online in NBA Live 2006.

2006 NFL season around the corner...

Well, ok. Not really. But I do have the Broncos 2006 season schedule!

1/4 of the year almost over!

Can you believe that the first 4th of this year has gone by so quick? Deidra will be finished with her first year of college in a couple weeks! Only one more year for her to go! I am so proud of her.

Well I am in my 4th week of the YMCA and have been going pretty much every day. I just have to think of it as the last hour of my work day. That way I don't CHOOSE to do it, I feel that I have to. It works better for me that way:)

We had a pretty good weekend. Deidra and I planted some bushes and did some landscaping in our front yard. It looks pretty nice. I hope we can keep the bushes alive. We can't seem to keep plants alive indoors, so maybe nature will help out a lot. I will be seeding my front and back yard this week so that we can have a good green summer.

My best friend Chad has finally got XBOX LIVE!!! We can now play online, and have been on a pretty regular basis for about 2 weeks. I think he is loving it. We are a pretty even match on NBA LIVE 06 although when I am the Denver Nugs in the powder blue uniforms, he doesn't stand a chance. He is pretty dominating with his Pistons.

Deidra and I are going to pull out the summer duds and dust off the tent and bikes. Summer is on the way and I can't wait to get out and enjoy the outside. For those of you who have known me, going outside has been a horrible experience for me since I was young due to allergies and asthma but now I am able to do everything without too much sniffling and sneezing and wheezing due to my allergy shots I have been taking for the last several years. This is the first year that I think I will be able to leave the windows open at night. I can't wait.

Grandma is doing good I hear, and I will be going to visit her this weekend if all goes to plan.

Have a good week everyone!
