Ansel
Cherish Everything…
Tuesday, August 4th, 2009 | Family | Comments
…In which I talk about a recent dream and the advice I’d like to pass on to my son.
So, a couple of days ago, just after waking up from a dream, I rushed to the computer and wrote down as much as I could so as to remember it as vividly as possible. I did this because it ended in a message that I want to pass on to Ansel when he’s old enough to understand.

Rutting through my Day…
Tuesday, February 24th, 2009 | Blogging, Family, Writer's Block | Comments
…in which I talk about my daily routines and how I’ve learned to live with the mind boggling repetition
I can’t believe it’s been more than a month since I wrote an entry? I am ashamed to have let it go so long and, once again, vow to remedy this situation. Being that I had no topic in mind, I have once again gone to LiveJournal and checked out their Writer’s Block segment to see what their suggestion is. Today the topic is “What is your daily routine?” › Continue reading
So Much Time, So Little Blogging…
Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 | Blogging, Family, Travel | Comments
…in which I talk about the past three weeks in brief.
I feel really bad I haven’t blogged in a while, I meant to just write and write and write over break, but I think I enjoyed the break a little too much. I am still not back up to speed yet. I had two full weeks off for the holiday, and so far three days back at work hasn’t changed my mindset, yet. › Continue reading
Another Grand Family Trip…
Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008 | Family, Food, Travel | Comments
…in which I talk about our recent trip up to Arkansas for Thanksgiving.
Yet another grand adventure with the family transpired last week. We were so excited to take Ansel up to see his grandparents, great-grandparents, and other family, since he’s been walking, babbling, and just all around loaded to the gills with cuteness. We left out of Denton on Wednesday and made the 8+ hour drive up to West Memphis. Ansel didn’t do as well as he as in the past. He hardly slept at all on the way up, and for the most part grumped and fussed. He was simply not in the mood to be in his car seat for that long. On the occasions where we stopped and were able to get out for a bit, he was even more resistant to go back in. I felt sorry for the little guy, but he was just not happy about the trip. › Continue reading
We Now Return You To Our Regularly Scheduled Broadcast, Already in Progress…
Monday, November 10th, 2008 | Blogging, Family, Personal Flaws | Comments
…in which I talk about my own current affairs and the regularity of my blogging.
I feel bad because it shouldn’t be all that hard to post one blog a week. Every friday I all of a sudden realize that I haven’t posted anything and that I should write something up “right now” or another week will go by. Then, on Monday, I realize that I’ve missed that week. Maybe I need a weekly blogging night, or something. I frequently have ideas that I want to write about, issues that bother me, thoughts that I ponder; you know, regular blogging topics, but I often forget them before I get a chance to write about them. To this end, I think I’m going to buy myself yet another blank journal and start a blogging notebook… kind of a “writer’s block defense book.” I almost bought one this weekend (for free with a coupon), but they were all so cheap looking I didn’t think they’d hold up to the abuse I was sure to pile on them. I’m low on funds right now, but I may still go out and see what I can find in the bookstore, later. › Continue reading
One Year Ago…
Saturday, September 20th, 2008 | Entertainment, Family | Comments
…in which I make a quick note about Ansel’s Birthday.
Yesterday was Ansel’s first birthday. There was no great hoopla, not riotous celebration, just a day out shopping and dinner at home. We went out to Frisco to go to Ikea to buy a gift for Ansel, but it turns out that the item is no longer available at Ikea. We’ll have t get a slightly more expensive one at Target, now. › Continue reading
Terror Comes to Tiny Town…
Friday, September 5th, 2008 | Family | Comments
…in which I talk about my poor, poor little baby and his horrible, terrible, no good, very bad night.
So, Wednesday was not a good day for baby Ansel. He was dripping snot all day, didn’t sleep well the night before, and didn’t nap well all day. He was grumpy (which was reiterated by his “GRUMPY” onesie) and we were pretty sure that Wednesday night would not go very well either, but we had no idea how bad it could be. › Continue reading
I didn’t blog last week…
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008 | Cycling, Family, School | Comments
…in which I talk about stuff, trying to make up for missing a week.
I’ve got three computers installing software on my desk right now, so I’m going to take a moment to just ramble mindlessly. › Continue reading
Busy Little Bees…
Friday, July 11th, 2008 | Family, Travel | Comments
…in which I talk about not only my hectic life, but the great achievements of my little one.
So even though we were on vacation last week, I feel like things have been crazy all over. With the very appreciated assistance of Angela, we flew out to Indiana Thursday to visit my brother and his micro family. We had a great time. My parents were in town to visit for the first few days, so it was nice to see everyone all at once. We got to go to Christy’s mom’s house for a nice Independence Day “meat and munitions extravaganza,” which was really fun and I got, what I think, are some really good fireworks photos (though, I’ve kind of decided most fireworks photos all look pretty much the same). › Continue reading
In the Tree Top…
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008 | Family | Comments
…in which I talk about babies and eyes (but not writing because I ran out of time to finish my entry).
So last night was my first real solo attempt at putting Ansel to bed. Every night before this has been either a tag team effort or a solo effort on Heather’s part. Now this isn’t that big of an injustice, as until recently, we only really put Ansel to bed by either dropping him in his swing and letting him rock the night away, or by Heather nursing him to sleep in bed beside her (a task I am gender challenged to perform). › Continue reading
