Tomorrow my 12 , soon to be 13 year old daughter attends her first “prom”. Yeah ok its her grade 7 prom, and I have alot more of these to drink my way through get through, but its still, well……blech. I always tease my wife that boys would have been easier. I was a boy. I know boy stuff. Argue with your best friend. A quick scuffle settles it, and in my case often times I was playing , star wars, sports, watching the ball game whatever literally sometimes within the hour. Girls? a slight, perceived or otherwise, can lead to weeks of foolishness, name calling, world war 3 level bs that can seem like the end as we know it is upon us. My girls are 10 and 12, with my 12 year old going to turn 13 within 3 months, and I want to lock em up and let em out when they are 18.
Sigh. On to other topics.
Things are going ok. An earlier in the year blood pressure/health scare has worked itself out, and I am starting to feel better. The catch 22 about starting to feel better is I am falling into some of the old bad habits that got me feeling like shit in the first place! Got to get my head back in the game and get moving. I have lost 30 ish pounds with alot more to go. I will get myself fit and healthy by my birthday, Dec 31 2010. I do not want to reach another birthday with 30 percent body fat and a 14 month pregnant looking belly.
The nice weather is finally upon us and I went with the wife and youngest daughter to the beach this past weekend. While certainly not turning any heads on the beach I did have enough confidence to take my shirt off and not feel I would be shot with a harpoon gun as a beached whale. Progress I guess. Hope to get to the beach more this year.
Not a whole lot else going on, wife going away with the kids next week camping with my inlaws so I will be a not so swinging bachelor. Might get a poker game or two in but other than that, I work through the week and will likely be laying low taking it easy and enjoying some quiet.
All for now.
