The inner-core of an everyday American...

So when you are @ work, and either pick up a call or make a call do you simply ask, "hey how ya doing?" or "hey how is it?"
I have noticed that without any hesitation, I recite that line during most of my business phone calls. Do I really mean it? Problably not. Its just an easy opening line for me to throw out there to start the conversation.
Why is it that back in the day, I really think people meant those words- "How are YOU?"
food for thought.

movie night @ the burchs' - w00t!

having some friends over tonight to watch "role models". we saw it in the theatre, and thought it was funny. there is a kid who has a dirty mouth... mind you this is what he is PAID to say as an actor. I just find it odd, that at such a young age he is learning these words. I dont think i knew how to curse until i was like 10. I dunno. maybe im wrong... oh well.
rock on.

appointments...

went to the dentist:
i have a cavity, bummer. this is my first one. i am 26 years old, and i am NOT in the no cavity club anymore. crap.

went to the baby doctor:
during my dentist trip, we found out that his wife goes to our baby doctor! crazy, small world. both my mother and my mother-in-law go to this dude. guess they folks are good there. we went, and this was my first time... interesting. mostly girls working there. that made me happy. we never saw the actual doc that practices there. he had a couple other partner docs that saw us. she was very nice and informative. we came away with a bazillion pamphlets and goodies. we saw the FIRST PICTURE OF OUR LITTLE ONE!!!!!!!
this is amazing.

i think this really will all sink in after im actually holding our child.

goodnight, fare thee well.

until next time,

the D word.

Divorce.
...as of this evening some personal friends of ours are separating. I'm hoping its not permanent but just for a small period of time where they can both individually collect their inner thoughts and pray for the best outcome. They have a baby together which really is/should be the center of attention. I personally don't believe in the big D, but its really easy for me to say sitting here being all fat and happy, listening to the Presets, and hearing my wife watch (satans bff) Oprah just over in the living room. I know that I cant see everything that goes on between these two folks, but deep within me- a small voice says that there is always hope. I know you cannot change people, but that doesn't mean you cannot pray for change in the relationship.
Time will tell.
God bless them.

On a separate note, the woman and I are off tomorrow to look at Avalons first "middle income" housing. I really dont know about this one. There seems to be just a couple too many cons than pros at the moment.

will update sooner than later.
keep on keepin' on.
