A more obvious gush

Zomagosh! The blog is being written and posted the day of? That's just crazy! Kerry must really be on top of things. Yes, yes I am.

The first thing I wanted to bring up today was something that happened another night. I'm not sure what night I think it was Saturday. In any case Kristin was coming home from some where, I think shopping, and I had come down to help her get groceries out of the car. When I cam down I brought Maymie and tried to kill two birds with one stone. (A bit of a morbid saying eh?) Either way I was letting the dog do what she does and I felt a sharp pain on my ankle. I didn't know what it was and can take pretty good amounts of pain and so ignored it for a second until I started feeling a lot more pain. OH MY GOSH I'M STANDING IN AN ANT PILE!!!!!!! Needless to day it was dark and I couldn't see the ants to get them off my feet so I drug Maymie and the groceries up stairs with screaming pain in my legs. I dropped the dog off at the door and the other stuff on the counter and ran to the restroom. Once I removed all the little bugs I counted and there are 11 bites on my ankles and two on other parts of my leg. This is two days later and they still hurt.

Lately my manager and I have been talking about running a marathon in December. He is well more prepared than I am but I'm going to try and catch up to him and see if I can run it with him. So to help me with that I ran around nine miles today. I haven't run that far in a long time, but it did give me an idea of where I need to run next week to get to eleven or twelve miles. I also kinda wanted to use this new app for my phone. I have had a running app for a while but this one is connected to a website that will show me my routes and help me pick out new ones. I'm not going to lie though, my knee's are killing me.

Tonight was the first night of our birthing classes. They went over what we, or rather she, would feel when she was going into labor. They talked about the different parts of labor and what I needed to do during. Basically what ever she needs me to do. I'm the man. =) Tonight the class ended earlier than it was suppose to and they took us on another tour of the hospital. It was good to have the second tour because this lady explained things differently to us. Whats crazy? Oh just that we are one of two couples who plan to have the kid with out an epidural. Yep crazy.

I'm gonna serve hot dogs on Oct 30th and call them Halloweenie's

Ladies and gents we are on lock down! We have less than a month until the due date of the dude in my date. d(>w<)b I guess that must mean we'd better start picking a name for him, and that is on our to do list.

This morning I went to work at 7 in the morning and I was the first CSM there. Well I always get up about thirty minutes before I need to leave for work which makes it an hour before I am suppose to be there. So I needed to get up at six. I woke up at 5:30, my alarm wasn't for another thirty minutes so I went back to sleep. Well the alarm was on Kristin's phone and she shut it off before I heard it. She says that she woke me up but I don't think I woke up, and so at 6:30 she poked me again and asked me if I was going to work. So long story short I sprayed the spray and deodorized and did not shower. I felt gross all day.
So Sundays are weird days at Wal-Mart because they usually are busy up to a point and then they slow down because there is a Cowboys game on. Well with all the college games yesterday and today's lack of Cowboys game we were pretty much slammed all day long. The parking lot got hit really bad and so I was going to stink any way. I guess I'm saying I didn't really feel bad about not having a shower. But we ran the front like champs and took care of business, even if I did stay late by a few minutes. But that's the very reason they don't schedule us 40 hours a week.

All fun aside I will bring your attention to the pictures. This is what our service desk looks like... I"m sure they will decorate for Christmas too, oh boy. The other one is just Jim and I chilling on break watching some football.

After work I came home to a well rested Kristin and for the second night in a row we stayed in. Tomorrow we have the start of the birthing classes. She needed the weekend to get rested up for all of this craziness. But don't worry folks we did spend some time trying to figure out a name for the child she is baring. Probably a name that is fierce like Lion or Fracture. I like them both, maybe that's a good first and middle name combo.

P.N. Hey so every one can give a thanks to Nita for the emoticons that I'm putting in the blogs now. But before I make them permanent let me know if they are cool or just annoying. KThanksbia

I have to pee... You always have to pee..

I believe that there are several things that change in the female body once they are pregnant. There are the obvious things, like baby in there, big belly, and swollen feet. Then there are things that we don't think about but we all reap the benefits of. One of these things is bladder size. I think that the female bladder splits into two parts that always feel like they have to pee. That way even when you are peeing you still have to pee. I think that if pregnant girls didn't have a lot to get done they would spend all day on the john nelson and still think they had to pee.

Kristin and I were both off by seven today and Kristin had most of her errands run by the time I cam home. So as a treat we stayed in... oh man that means I'm old. Crap.
Well since we were staying in we decided to cook, plus cooking is cheaper than ordering in and that is always good. So she made her famous taco salad with a few things put in it just for me and I made chocolate chip cookies. Both turned out good, but the cookies didn't stay soft.. which means that I cooked them to long or they didn't have enough moisture to begin with. FAILURE!!!!

Its okay with enough milk any cookie goes down. And with enough movie any Barnett gets tired. So we finished up watching the Tenth Kingdom. Every time we finish the movie, series, thing, we check to see if they ever made a second one. They never did. Hollywood makes me so mad when they make a great show but they never follow up on it. Even when all the ratings are high. Now Eragon was a different story, that movie was total crap so thank you for not making another. But the Tenth Kingdom was awesome, and there should have been a sequel. =^.^=

Would you rather be a fruit, nut or flake?

What is with these titles? I haven't any idea, I think we just type what ever comes to mind, or some times some really funny comments. So long as we can remember them. I know some of these titles are comments that were said like six months ago.

Today I went into work with a mission on the mind. I was going to change the Site to Store area so that there would be more room and so that it was more efficient. Luckily Lance was there and he is down for a lot of these odd experiments and projects that I come up with. So when I got in he was already unloading some of the steel we were going to extend. We took the steel apart and then went to the back to get more steel. It was a very dirty project and we had to steal some grid from other places to allow us to have enough up front. I wont say where because I don't want any one to know that I did it, but I'm sure any one who would have noticed isn't reading this today. At least I hope not.

Well we moved every thing around and re situated the room and I really like how it is now set up. There is one common reaction that people do not like about it so I'm sure we will fix that in the future. Not that any one who complains about it would fix it, but I will.

Management had us working on other projects around the store so I got stuck with decorating the entrances and service desk. I'm not good at this because I think some decorations look stupid and cheap and shouldn't be used. I'm not apposed to using decorations I just really do not like the gay looking ones or the cheap scary ones. But its something that I have to learn to relinquish to others. Good luck to you.

Kristin was working early today so that she could get to her doctors appointment and get out of it by the time I was off work. That didn't happen today. She went into the doctors office and waiting in a room for almost an hour, plus she said the doctor was acting weird on her. Its okay we have another appointment in a week that I will be able to go to so I'll see how weird she is acting. Everything went good with the appointment though, and I think next week they start checking for all the important stuff that needs to happen for you to have a baby.

That was pretty much all we did today. Oh and Kristin got a radio dock for our iphones so that she could use it when she is in the hospital. It was good stuff. I suppose I should tell you that the rim that is silver in the picture is now pink... of course.

Is it really October?

Another early morning of work. I got up this morning and left at 7am and it was cold. I always have my air conditioner on in my car around here but today I was chilling so I had to turn it off. I'm just hoping that means that there will be cooler weather to follow. Of course we are in Texas so I don't know if that is really going to happen.

I guess because of Wal-Mart it has seemed like fall for about a month and I feel like Halloween is tomorrow when I know that it is still weeks away. The store is starting to control my feelings for what I think is going on around me. I feel like it should be much colder and the leaves should be turning a orange and brown tinge. I'm even starting to get that fall attitude that I have. Usually its very quiet and I just listen to things, but that's only when I'm by myself.

Work was work and Kristin was off, so when I got home and saw that she was ready for the day at 5 I was very impressed. I'm not saying that Kristin is lazy but when she has a day off she does a good job of resting and hanging out. I do the same thing I just get up earlier. When I got home we left to go back out shopping. We ate at Red Robbin and then shopped at Target and Wal-Mart. Peaches were 25 cents a pound. Pretty good if you ask me. We left and went home and with no more Grey's to watch we went to bed pretty quick. Tomorrow is going to be another early day.

P.N. Last year at this time I can remember getting ready to get married. I was still here in Texas and Kristin was either in Kansas or about to go. I was still working and had about a week or so before I was leaving for Colby.

Writers box...

Today the morning was much the same as yesterday morning, so if you want to know whats going on then you can go back and read yesterdays. No I will not type it out for you today, not at all.

Kristin didn't have to go to work until late so she made me wake her up at twelve, but I wont tell I lie I kinda wanted to watch Grey's Anatomy so I woke her up earlier. I guess I'm a sucker for a good medical show, plus I really like to see it when the bodies get cut open and worked on. That's not gruesome is it?

After watching three different episodes of Grey's, and many searchings about the characters on my phone, er the phones, Kristin went to work and it was time for me to get down to business. I hadn't written in my book since I got done with the first chapter and decided that I was time that I wrote the second. So I did what all good writers do, I got in my writers box and went to work. (A writers box is a space where the writer feels comfortable and can write without distraction.)

My box is fairly distracting. I sit at the computer desk playing loud music, some times mellow and some times hard but always loud. I drink milk and water and juice but I always need something to drink. I need to be playing a game or watching a movie in between writing many words on a page. I also have to stand up and walk around plus a good out doors atmosphere is good for it. I had many of these things and was able to push out another chapter in my book and hopefully I can get another done next week. Its fun to write thought so I think that its a good book. But I don't know.

After seven Kristin and I were getting ready to leave to go to Pearla's going away bash. We went with Justin and Stephanie. It was at an English bar over here and the moment I walked in I decided I liked it. They show soccer games. I think that I'll have to go to the place when my games are on. It'll be great. Well we weren't able to stay for very long and Justin and I had even less time because we had to go and get his ID. It was a pretty good night though, but I had to get to sleep so I could get up early the next day.

Summer nights.... er fall nights?

This is the day that the Lord has made and I will sleep in and enjoy it. That is a direct quote from the bible of Kerry. You can enjoy the scriptures of Kerry any time I quote them, for it is I only who knows them. So we slept in, and a good sleep it was. I slept until 8:30 and then got up to run a good run. I ran the good run and I kept the faith, and then my legs hurt.

This day was short lived as far as interesting things. I mean last night at least Maymie hit her face against the crib. Oh, we didn't tell you? Well you see I was getting ready to get in bed and I threw my T-Shirt over Maymie. Smartest dog in the world turns her head really quick and smacks it hard against the crib, poor puppy. But I laughed pretty hard and had a good time at my dogs expense.

After my shower today I caught the poor delusional soul drinking out of the bath tub. She thinks she is so thirsty and needs every bit of water she can get. I'm afraid that if we went to the lake she would explode from water. Now that would be something to write about. Today though, there wasn't much. Just work really. We are getting ready for the Holiday season, plus it was Pearla's last day today. We will miss you, we will miss you.
