‘Morning’ Sickness?

I don’t know why they call it morning sickness. Melissa is sick all the time. I feel so bad because there doesn’t seem to be anything I can do! Bananas help. Gatorade helps… though she is really tired of it, says it’s too sweet. Ginger tea helps… but there’s only so long you can live [...]

hummingbird blues

we’ve got a feeder attached to one of the windows on the back of our house, so we attract quite a few of these little guys. today while taking out the trash, i noticed one flitting about in our garage, apparently without any sense of direction because it just wanted to go ‘up’. with the [...]

We’re Pregnant!

Last week, Melissa started feeling a bit ‘icky’, and while she wasn’t exactly ‘late’ … we haven’t been exactly ‘careful’ lately, and she was definitely symptomatic, so I urged her to take a test. Sure enough, it came back positive! This past saturday (the 19th) we went to see her doctor for a second opinion. [...]

Why all the pressure?

When Melissa and I first bought our home, we got this thing in the mail that said that we could get a free $25 gift certificate for Home Depot just for allowing someone to come over our house to give us a free water test. I thought that was such an awesome marketing approach and [...]

100% satisfaction guaranteed!

I find it interesting that this would be found printed on the box of a pregnancy test. I think that at best, they would only be able to guarantee 50% satisfaction depending on the answer that you were hoping for!
And no, Melissa is not pregnant. Sorry folks!

Butt Licker

All this week, Melissa has been yelling at Güenther … ‘Stop licking my butt!’. He’s developed this habit of sniffing her behind, and then licking it. Today I finally owned up to the reason why. All this week, I have been putting a small bit of peanut butter on the back of her jeans, thereby [...]

I got this in several boxes and bubble wrap from a friend who works for a refurb warehouse. It was pretty much like putting together a puzzle. It is [...]

nuts.

Proof yet again that i get my best material from my family… my dad was inspired to tell me about these when he read about Güenther’s surgery. The first thing my wife asked about them? “Where do they put them?” … wow… I couldn’t ask for better writers.

dog-gone it!

Güenther is going in for surgery tomorrow to get neutered. i honestly don’t know how to feel about this, but everyone around us seems to say that it is a good decision. While we never intended on breeding him, and we understand all of the health reasons and such for doing this… i still can’t [...]
