  • IF…

    We all say if…

    …I could get that promotion.

    …I could meet the right person.

    …I could afford that new thing that I want so bad.

    …I could win the lottery.

    So after talking to OhCaptain this morning about what I would do since I couldn’t make it up to his Halloween poker game,  I’m putting my list now.

    IF I WON THE LOTTERY…

    I would do these 11 things:

    1. I would continue working.  Why leave my job?  I would give more visability to my station and would have the ability to just tell the boss “Bite me!”  What’s the worst that could happen? They could fire me?
    2. I would establish scholarships for Shelby and Ryan so they could go to whatever school they would like to go to.
    3. I would pay off my families debt.  Then they would be told that they are on their own.  They get a free get out of debt payment and that way I feel like I have allowed to not only change my life but the lives of those I love.
    4. I would go and buy me a 1964 1/2 Mustang that looks just like the one my dad got stolen and stripped from him.  I would give it to my dad.
    5. I would finish restoring my 67 Mustang.
    6. I would pay off my current house and build my dream house.
    7. I would go back to school.
    8. I would make than one blogger gathering a year.
    9. I’d tell someone that is clueless, the truth about what I think about them and then tag the end of it with “and that’s why I think you’re a miserable excuse for a human,” hand thema check for $5,000 and walk away.
    10. I would give a charity very close to my heart a large donation, and then tell them to never ask me again.
    11. Take the remaining $ invest it in secure instruments and live my life like each day would be my last.

    That’s what I would do If I won the lottery. 

    Doc Chako, The Wife, OhCaptain, Waffles, Riggstad and of course Joanna are officially tagged.

  • Happy Anniversary Joanna!

    Even though we consider today our two month anniversary, I guess close to three years ago we both knew.  Sitting next to each other in that conference room.  We knew we were both attracted, we knew we had a flutter in our heart and a twinkle in our eye.

    We knew then that we were meant to be with each other.

    But we took time apart, meeting and dating other people.

    We were meant to be together and thus we found each other again.

    I’ve been so busy with the renovations and the “thing” at work that I didn’t say it when we got up yesterday.  Subconsiously I knew and got you flowers.  We don’t have to celebrate the little anniversaries. 

    Hopefully we can celebrate the bigger ones like five, ten and twenty-five yeaars.

     

    I love YOU,

    Sean

  • Guest Post : “I Saw a Witch On Her Broom.”

    I thought growing up in West Texas, I knew what windy was.  Houstonians gripe about 15 miles per hour being windy.  Sean and I have played golf in 45 mile per hour winds from the north trying to finish 18 holes before the rain shows up.  Wind does not bother me.  I have been in the middle of dust storms that look like the scene from the Mummy where the plane gets knocked out of the sky.  I have seen sand turn 3pm into midnight.  I thought I knew windy.  Brother, let me tell you something.  Geraldo Riveria standing out in a storm reporting makes it look easy.  Hurricanes blow, literally.  The eye of Ike was about 60 miles across at landfall, but it diminished somewhat, but 75 miles inland, we had lower level hurricane winds, (75+ miles per hour) for a couple of hours, and then high level tropical storm winds for several hours more.  All in all we had high winds for about 9 to 10 hours.  The worst of the storm blew over by noon on the 13th, but heavy rain and wind was still flowing out of the system.  Once the data was out, Ike’s eye passed about 20 miles to the east of our area.  I saw stuff flying around the neighborhood, that I had no idea was aerodynamically sound.  I even saw the Wicked Witch of the East on her broom, whom Sean has met.  (more…)

  • Guest Post : “Meet Ike. He Was A Sorry SOB.”

    First off, understand, Houston is not New Orleans.  We are not a city built in a bowl, 30 feet below sea level.  We are a whopping 43 feet above sea level.  Houston sits 45 miles from the coast, but has a huge ship channel cut to reach Galveston Bay.  I live 30 miles further north of Houston in a heavily wooded area known as “The Woodlands.”  Texans are not much for over dramatic names.  We are pretty simple.  If there were mountains around here and we built a community there, it would be named “The Rocks” or “The Summits.”  There is a golf course in San Antonio built in an old rock quarry.  Guess what it is named.  I digress.

  • The greatest call ever…

    was from my six year old son today when he called and asked ” Daddy, can you help me with my walk. I’ll walk and you pay me and I give it to kids.”

    I immediately knew that he was doing the charity walk for school.

    And it made me feel good that he was learning about giving to others before taking.

    I’m really proud of you Ryan.

    And Shelby, trying to hit me up for more than Ryan gets you a gold star.

    I have a big Friday blog that I will post later but we (Joanna and I) are off to try and hook up one of my friends Kerri, with one of her friends (Toby).  Hope it works.

    BTW got my first D-A-S from Philly. I wish I could have gone, but the toe is not cooperating.  I think I may go see the doc tomorrow or Monday.
