Happy Halloween

It's about 7:15 and we've had about 4 tricker treaters and about half the candy is gone. I think I need to cut back on the portions I'm handing out. Either that or I need to stop eating all the candy. Or better yet, Jen needs to stop eating it all.

This is Hayleys first Halloween. She's dressed as a lion and she is super cute. She is growing up way to fast. I think time should move way slower so we can enjoy this all the more.

And that's a rap, we have more tricker treaters.

Wanted: Dishwasher

Well now that Jen is working evenings we don't have that much time with both of us at home to take care of simple chores. One of them being washing the dishes. Yes we are a little behind the times and we wash our dishes by hand. After being interupted numerous times while washing dishes the other night I decided we need one ASAP. I'm so sick of looking at dirty dishes let alone washing them. So we're going to break the bank this weekend and by a portable one. With Jen working it we should be ok finacially. Maybe, well see.

Brownies

Is it a bad thing that I ate all the brownies meant for my co-workers. I don't think Jen will mind that much.

And for an update on Hayley. She's been sleeping through the night. She's also a lot more alert and stays awake longer. Lot's of fun.

Morning commute

This morning I was driving to work and this truck pulls up next to me honking. I'm thinking it's a road rage driver so I try not to look but the truck keeps honking so I glance over and it's Scott. Holy crap, for one it's 6:00am, two he lives on the other side of the cities. What are the odds we'd run into each other. Crazy stuff. Here's his response to the question "How'd you notice me?"

it was weird, I was driving up towards your explorer and I was like that thing looks like a piece of crap, I bet Kyles is starting to look pretty rough, since you have had it so long, and low and behold it is you driving....freaked me out!!

I can't believe he called my Explorer a piece of crap. Oh well, it's 12 years old and still running good.

Same Name

While talking to Scott he mentioned that our old roomate Becca had a baby. I haven't seen or talked to Becca in 5 years. She named her baby Haylie Rose. What are the odds of that? At least we spelled the names a little different.

Vikings woes

I got an idea. Why not fire Tice. This team has no discipline.

Great Day

During a huge rain storm last week which dumped 4 inches of rain I had to drive home from school. During my drive I drove through water on the freeways which splashed up on my motor. Basically the same that happened in FL a few months ago. Now my truck is acting up again and it's going to cost around $300 to fix. I haven't fixed it yet cuz I'm angry and I don't want to pay that much. Plus I'm trying to figure out if I can fix it my self. It's a coil and sparkplug that need to be changed. Anyway, I've been driving my Explorer instead of the truck. Well this morning when I was leaving to go to work I notice my Explorer was sitting low. I look down and sure enough it has a flat tire. grrrrr. I didn't feel like changing it in the dark at 6 in the morning so I drove my truck. Hopefully I didn't damage it worse. Now I definitely need to put a call into a mechanic.

Time capsule

Ben informed me and my colleges at work that he got a strange reply to one of his posts. Read it here Apparently a girl I went to prom with 10 years ago Googled my name and got this post from Ben. Well it led to some hilarious conversation at work. See Michele is a girl I met on the Internet way back when 14.4k was the speed of the Internet. I drove to Washington to visit her and take her to prom. This is back in the day when it was unheard of to meet up with someone on the Internet. It was definitely an experience.

Anyway, I told the guys at work I'd dig up some old pics from that prom and I stumbled upon some more pics. So for all of you needing a laugh here you go.

Back in the day with the Internet being so slow we exchanged pics with snail mail. Here's the pic I sent to Michele. I lost the pic she originally sent to me.





Michele and I at her prom. Her mom got us a limo which was kind of cool.





And while we're at it why not show some top hat and cane prom pics.

First of Holly and I.





Then Hillary a few years later.





And I haven't always been a fatty. Here's a pic of me in Washington by the Ocean.





The car I so sorely miss. Has it really been 10 years since I owned this? How depressing.





And while we're visiting the time capsule why not show off the mullet.

Back in MN

We made it back after a 3 day drive from FL. Hayley only cried for a while on the second morning, otherwise she was content sleeping in her car seat. That was nice. We didn't really know what to expect. But now that we're back it's time to clean the house and get it ready for Hayley. So far, with the help of Jens mom, brother, and sister, we have the baby room almost done and our carpets are shampoo'd. The smell that I smelled last July when I visited is now gone. Now we need to figure out where to put all our junk. I keep asking myself, "Where the heck does all this stuff come from?" But I'll leave it to Jen to figure it where to put it all so I get in trouble for throwing something she wants.

I'm watching the news now and they're saying we're going to get cold. I'm so not looking forward to winter this year. But I've probably said that enough so I'll stop babbling for now.
