Sugar Free

My wife continues to kick ass. She made pudding from scratch. Not only that, but it is sugar free pudding from scratch.

She is amazing. Epically amazing. Brilliant, beautiful, and amazing. I love her so much.

Friday

It has been a pretty quiet day at work today (JINX!) apart from my brief stomach rebellion. I have 32 minutes to go until I can punch out for the day. I am starting to day dream about the weekend a little.

Music. I recorded a vocal track for one song on Thursday. I have a couple more songs that could do with some car music vocals. I have to practice for Sunday’s band rehearsal as well. I have nine songs to brush up on. I don’t know if we have a working PA system or not, but I did pick up a replacement for my dead Shure SM58 microphone. If our old, dinky little PA still works I’ll take it for a test drive. My Vox AC15 amp is in the rehearsal room along with my great big use-with-the-band pedal board. It’ll be nice to visit with my sweet RYRA The Klone overdrive pedal again.

I suddenly find myself in the middle of a whole bunch of TV shows. The X-Files epic rewatch continues, and we’re in season seven which means the quality is taking a steady nose dive. Uh oh. Only a few episodes to go until we reach the two season mostly-Mulder-free stretch. Yikes. I have a new episode of Star Trek Discovery (Disco) to watch. I have a new episode of Manhunt to watch. I have 6-7 episodes of Fallout left. I’ve watched the first two. I didn’t expect it to be so… goofy. I never played the video game so I really didn’t know what to expect. Silliness was not on my menu though. I like the show so far even though I don’t really know what’s happening yet. I’m caught up on Star Wars The Bad Batch. There are only a few more episodes left and I am thinking about rewatching the whole final season. I don’t know. There’s so much else to watch. I’m in the middle of Ripley on Netflix too. It’s pretty twisted. I never read the book or saw the movie so this one is all new to me too. I am enjoying it in a sick and twisted kinda way.

What else is going on? I am hoping to spend some quality time hanging out with my wife, of course. That’s the best part of the weekend. She mentioned she’s going to have to work a lot, which is a bummer, but we’ll make time. I hope to cook for her now and then. Lunches and maybe dinners? We use one of those dinner delivery service things. You know, where they send you all of the ingredients and a recipe with (somewhat) detailed instructions and you prepare the meal yourself. We are supposed to get a delivery today. I like it best when we cook those together. I find that both less stressful and generally enjoyable. Mostly. Some of them are still stressful even when we gang up on them. Does everyone think they are stressful or is it just us?

I did not promise myself that I would avoid the sugar free bakery in Salem, NH this week… so when I go out to do errands… yeah, I am probably going to buy some cookies there. I can stop any time, really. I promise I can stop any time. Totally.

Okay. 20 minutes until quitting time. I haven’t had anything to eat in two hours and 56 minutes and my stomach is starting to ask me why it’s empty. Three hours is usually how long it takes for my stomach to wake up after a meal. We’re pretty much right on target. Here’s hoping I don’t mess up with my snack on the drive home. A repeat of The Foamies… in the car… yeah, that would be annoying. I keep a spit up cup in the car, though I have never used it. Here’s hoping we keep the streak alive!

TMI?

One of My Favorite Pictures

Maybe we should go back to the Statue of Liberty one of these days. Now that some of those liberties have been extended to more Americans. Also because I absolutely love this picture of my beloved wife. hehe

We Didn’t Win

There was a Powerball drawing last night with an estimated jackpot of 400 gagillian zillion dollars.  I once heard state (in this case, multi-state) lotteries described as a tax on the stupid.  Well, I paid that tax after work yesterday.  I bought 10 tickets.

I completely forgot about it until a few minutes ago, so I checked my numbers.  Of the 10 tickets, five had exactly one of the winning numbers.  I could be wrong, but I think that’s the best result I’ve ever had!  WOOHOO!  I lost, but by less than I usually lose by!  Nice!  Each loss brings us that much closer to the inevitable lottery jackpot.  I can feel it!

I mentioned yesterday that I had to get up super early to cover something at work.  The end result was that I went to bed super early last night.  I wanted to listen to the Red Sox game while I read myself to sleep (still reading Tony Iommi’s Iron Man.  I am nearing the end of the Dio years) but as the game was about to start I put the book away and laid down with my headphones still on.  I’ll just lay here and relax while I listen, thinks me.  Nope.  I was out like a light before the first pitch.  I woke up a couple of times with an ear pod (magically) still in place.  I would hear the score and then fall back to sleep.

That changed when I woke up in the top of the ninth with the Sox down 5-4 and a runner on first.  I stayed conscious for that.  Then Drew comes up with two on and BOOM the Sox are up 7-5.  Even on the other short wake ups, when I would hear that they were losing, I knew that there was no way Houston was beating us again.  I didn’t fall asleep again until after the game was over.

There is something about this year’s team.  They shouldn’t be as good as they are, given the horros of last season, but they just keep winning.  If nothing else, it’s fun to watch.  Hell, they’ve already won more games than last year!  Go Red Sox

 Changing the subject again, I just cooked my telecommuting lunch on the grill in the back yard. The hamburger was frozen so I walked around the edge of the woods and took two pics with Oggl.

You are utterly blown away, I can tell.

In closing, my wife is stressing out about something today. I have full confidence that she is stressing out about nothing. She is just so incredible that she’s going to kick the holy hell out of that which bugs her. I know it. You all know it. She knows it too, deep down. She’s just awesome. Simple as that. Still, if you can spare some positive energy of the calm and relaxing sort, I am sure she’d love a little extra.

I love you like crazy, Jennifer. You are simply amazing.

My Wife is Beautiful

Please pardon the gratuitous my-wife-is-gorgeous post.

She had her hair done yesterday and it is totally different. It looks beautiful, it looks adorable. I love it. I will try to stealthily grab a picture as soon as I can.

I love her.
