First Day of Working Out


Joy and I decided to start getting up at 6:20 and working out from 6:30 till 7. Which is only a few minutes before Chase normally wakes up. This morning was the first morning of our working out. I’m glad to report that we DID actually start this morning and we only started 10 mins late. So then we did 30 minutes of yoga with Fai Chi Min, the overly buff host. I have to say that I felt much better in the shower today than normal. Usually I’m falling asleep standing or fighting the urge to lie down in the shower. I think this will be a great new routine. Hopefully Chase will keep sleeping through the night so we don’t have to put off a day. I think tom, we are going to try Tae Bo.
Anyone have any good recommendations as to what we should do for our 30 min workout?

Happy New Year!


Well Happy New Year! We are finding it hard to believe another year has flown by. We celebrate 3 years married today! Woo hoo. We are very excited for the new year, especially spring time and warm weather. Also for the new year, I’ve made a new mcvideos. The flash got an update with more movies on each page, smoother transitions + loading and a full screen option! Some other changes were made in the backend to make life easier for me when adding new videos.

Check out the new McVideos

Compare it to the old one (for a limited time, till I clear these out)

Oh and who thinks I should make the new one brown like the old one?

If you can’t get full screen to work, make sure you have the latest flash player installed

Sleepless in Springville

Chase is no longer a fan of sleep. So I was thinking… maybe Pace and I just need a little of this good stuff:

WGA Strike Continues


I find this whole writers thing fascinating. Does every single writer belong to the WGA? why can’t shows find some college dropout writers to take individual jobs? Likewise fascinating and annoying will be the list of shows that get interrupted b/c of the strike, and those who won’t. For example, Jay Leno and David Letterman will be attempting to go back on air on Jan 2nd, without any writers… but then who is writing? someone has to be labeled the writer.. and then wouldn’t they be entitled to be on strike?

So here is the discussion, given no writers who will be the better entertainer? Jay Leno or David Letterman?

And if shows decide to go on without writers and people like it… then there won’t be any “writers”.. discuss

How harsh

I hope these people can enjoy the smarts behind the marketing of this experiment.

A Little Update

Well, Chase has been considerably better, in case anyone was wondering. For several days after the flu he was fine, but then throwing up in the late evening times. He’s been all clear for a couple of days, but just this morning he woke up quite early and threw up. So…. I called the pediatrician’s office and the nurse said it’s totally common, but if he continues vomiting for more than 2 weeks, I should bring him in to see the doctor. Wow, 2 weeks? Hm, interesting. Meanwhile, he’s seeming relatively healthy, but is very clingy and wants me to hold him every second. For that reason, I just got our Christmas cards all mailed out today! In other news, my family (except for Ryan and Tina) is coming tonight, to spend the week with us and Rach! It’s been great weather, with no snow for a while, but right now it’s hailing, so I think the storm came in just for them! Happy Holidays!

Below are a few recent photos; as you can see, Chase does NOT smile for the camera!

First Day at work


So today I started at Vital Smarts, and it looks like I’m joining the dark side again. I walked into my amazingly large cubicle to find a brand new iMac sitting there. I currently long for a two button mouse… The day was filled with meeting people and forms and meetings. I’m scheduled to take Crucial Conversation training all day Wed and Thursday. So next time you see me, I’ll be better at expressing my feelings. All in all, looks like this is going to be a great place to work. And now I’m really tired, seeing how Chase waited till Midnight to throw up last night… and the nurse says it isn’t DR worthy till it’s been 2 weeks of throwing up… arg.

Prayers

Chase has been sick and throwing up all day. He hasn’t kept any food or liquid down for a while now. Please pray for his quick recovery. Thank you.

Santa, I’d like a car that not only doesn’t make me pay for gas every two weeks, but actually makes me 4,000 a year. Oh here’s one!

Need techie stuff?


Looking for a great deal on a new anything techy? Find your nearest Compusa and count to ten, by then it should have it’s going out of business sales printed up in your newspaper. I’ll be headed to ours looking for anything ebay worthy.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Mexican retail and telephone baron Carlos Slim will close out Comp USA’s remaining US stores and liquidate all the remaining assets including the brick and mortars, after investing close to $2 billion into the business in the last 8 years.
