Crazy Crazy

So work is CRAZY right now I'm only here till the 12th or depending on Olivia could be earlier or later we'll see :D

I've got this project to do at work right now installing and setting up PDA's I have over 100 to do in less then two weeks, as I'm the "resident" PDA expert. It takes roughly 1hr and 15mins to set one up from nothing with everything they need to work in the plant. I've already done a pile of them and needless to say I'm sick of seeing them already... So I thought I'd make you guys look at them :P

I guess its not all bad seeing as I now have 2 outta the 3 PDA's for my personal use, I have both Dell's (the ones on the end) Work paid for them and I can take them home or whatever I want. They bought them so that I can learn how to use them inside and out... I guess I've done that. But you can always learn more so I continue to play with them. Also I've finally convinced them to get me a Blackberry I'm getting the 8703e I'd prefer something else but they wouldn't go for it. The only reason I'm getting one is because the BIGWIGS all of the upper management guys are the only ones that have them and we can't very well be testing problems and finding solutions on those, I have to fix it and get it back to them ASAP So I'll have my own to hose and fix as I please :P It's basically an over glorified PDA (personal digital assistant) with a phone and better internet capabilities.

So as most of you have been reading on Christy' blog were going to be having our baby soon!! I'm UBER Excited! We still haven't decided on a middle name yet though which is weird but to be honest I don't know if we've really been thinking about one. Is it weird if you don't have a middle name, who said you have to have one anyways.. not that we won't give her one but maybe?? who knows. Anyways I've got a few things to do this weekend to get ready, setup the crib and get some stuff outta the shed and cleaned up for mommy and baby. I've been telling Christy that she's been over doing it but she never listens to me... Staying up all night on the phone or the computer nerding it out.. She's been staying up later then me which is a HUGE change for us usually I'm coming to bed an hour or so after her.. I was in bed 2.5 hours before her last nite :P just as an idea..

Anyways were all getting excited for the new addition to our family, Christy has again stuck true to her word and not complaining about being pregnant even though she's VERY sore this time She's a trooper. I'm really proud of her. This pregnancy has been a lot different then with Tristan. She's gonna be a great Mommy all over again, I love her heart, her attitude and her excitement. I'm really stoked for having a girl a little Christy runnin around fartin up a storm :P A princess for my Queen!!

Yum Yum Sushi Time!!

Tomorrow I have my "Performance Review" yipppee there's only one thing I want MO'MONEY But thats a whole post in itself...

The great thing about the performance review is that my supervisor takes us out for lunch, for a "private" meeting and I get to pick the restraunt. So we'll be out on the companies dime. If there's one food I love to eat and not pay for its Chinese!! I'm a HUGE sushi fan which is wierd cause I don't like fish lol (Although my taste buds have seemed to change and I can eat some fish) We went out to this place in North Van a few years ago... OMG to die for. We were visiting Tommy boy and he and a friend took us for lunch to this place and said "Chris if you like sushi this is the place to eat" so I said sure we ordered a huge platter with everything on it, it was amazing. Anyways I just found out my supervisor likes Sushi as well so I'm sold were doing Sushi for lunch tomorrow... I'll have me a nice bowl of soup and a Yummy platter of Sushi!!

I've Rediscovered A Lost Love

Monday, January 15, 2007
I used to love reading, for some reason I stopped almost all together. The only thing I was reading in intervals, to be completely honest was my Bible. But I've rediscovered a lost love and I can't believe I've let it lay buried in the closet for so long. I've got a million "excuses" but only one sticks. When Christy and I moved into our new home we threw away our bookshelves (they were old and ratty) so we left our books packed away for far to long. *Side note* Sam and I share a passion in Wrestling, I know a lot of you are going to be like wrestling's so fake blah blah, but its not about that... anyways thats a whole different post. A while back (Nov 13, 2005) Eddie Guerrero past away, the great thing was that he was a very popular wrestler one of the most popular and he was a Passionate man of God. Anyways Sam bought me Eddie's auto-biography (Cheating Death & Stealing Life) and I just had had had to read it. I could barely put it down, great book for those of you who haven't read it I suggest doing so!! Anyways it has rekindled my love for books and I've read that and already dived into another one. "Fakes or Followers" another great book I suggest reading if you haven't. I even went out and bought a new bookshelf!! Anyways the whole purpose of this post is, I'm buying another book. My wife is gonna kill me cause were supposed to be saving money ha-ha but I couldn't resist its normally $100+ but I got it for $44.04 and free shipping from amazon.ca

J R R Tolkien' Lord of the Rings; As it was supposed to be released. A single-volumed Trilogy, in hard cover. Originally it was his intention to release this in one print but the cost of printing books was astronomical then and couldn't be done so they printed the 3 individually. I'm SO SO SO excited. I know this is gonna be like "Chris what were you thinking" but... I haven't read it before, I started reading it online just browsing and I couldn't stop so I knew I had to order it so I've been doing some digging and found the one that I wanted!




Anyways I seriously can't wait. I've been talking to Tom about it and told him why I hadn't read it, I was worried that having seen the movies first I would be disappointed in them and I couldn't handle that as they are definitely in my top 10 favorite movies. He assured me that it only adds to the beauty of the book. So I'm super excited I almost want to blaze through "Fakes and Followers" to start Lord of the Rings. It won't be here for about a week and half though, cause I took advantage of the "Free" shipping :D

So ya just a quick mention my favorite author is Frank Peretti, I've read all of his book except maybe two. My favorite was the Oath, I couldn't put it down. I loved it...

OK so I have to say Thanks to Tommy and to my Wife for hooking me up with the book, otherwise I'll be hung.

Post comments on your thoughts about the book and about your favorite Author's!

Ahh Happy New Year?

Friday, January 05, 2007
I trust all is well with everyone and you had a Great New Year!! My family didn't do much infact I think the outlaws were up later then Christy and I were :P I was VERY sick from Thursday till actually today. So I didn' t do much of anything.

We started potty training Tristan he's a funny dude, this morning he woke up with a DRY diaper, told Mommy that he had to pee ran to the bathroom proceded to undress himself and then he let her fly just stood there and pee'd his heart out! Which is great cause Christy's been teachin him to pee sitting.. I've shown him the standing technique and the cool bubbles :P So he was pretty thrilled about that. He's a smart lad and is and has been ready for awhile now, we've just been waiting for Mommy, its hard for me to teach him cause I'm at work for 12hrs a day so he only sees me at night and weekends. Kinda pointless to only teach at night, but now Mommy is more the ready she's doing it and I'm helping with as much as I can. I cheer him on we do a little dance and celebrate after he goes potty. My little guy is growing up :( I'm getting old haha

Anyways Happy New Year yadda yadda
