Our House... (decisions Rob made pre-Addie)

Its true... Blake and I have built some Bitchin' castles and space vehicles lately out of Legos.... Most guys want to take their son fishing & hunting.... yeah... I wanna build one of those big lego star destroyers with my son:
'cause that's how we roll.

Packrafting

is awesome. What's not quite so awesome is the aftermath! :) Addie's got a pretty massive cough/cold, and I'm not feeling on top of the world, but owell, life goes on! I love those 'vacations' where you need to get back to work to gain some rest. Work hard, Play hard; that's the Bedford motto!


Thinking about breaking out my guitar sometime soon. I have a trip heading up to Spokane tomorrow, where I'll be for about a week and a half, maybe more depending on progress on projects. When I get back it'd be nice to, as Lonnie continually suggests, "pick up a fun hobby!"

I've also recently dropped a tiny bit of money on a fly-reel, as I 'inherited' a fly-rod. Now I just have to sucker people into taking me out and showing me how its done... not to mention where!

If i had business money:

If only!!

Legos, Taco Soup and Spankings.

Addie ditched Blake and I today to go hang out with my mom and sisters. Something about dress hunting, but I think my eyes glazed over pretty quickly when they started using mall-speak. Anyway, we started playing with the Legos and got pretty creative. Then we got hungry and reheated the taco soup from last night. After that, I ate two bowls, the Blakester ate about 2/3 of his and was just playing around on the table after I'd asked him to finish. So after giving him about 10 minutes of dinner-playtime, I figured it was time to nap. (and addie threatened me with ME putting him to bed tonight if he didn't nap...) I took the bowl away that he'd been ignoring for the last 10 minutes and said, "Alright! Lets clean up the legos! I'll help you since I was playing with them too." At that point he starts crying and sits on the floor, so I used the addie line of, "Blake, are you obeying all the way right away and with a happy heart?" and he kept sitting there and crying.. hence the Spanking. bleh. :( After the spanking we went back to the living room, cleaned up the legos and whatnot scattered all over the corner of the room, read a book, and now he's napping. (or at least in the room with the door mostly closed and not making too much noise)

On the path to greatness!!

Or at least recovery. (Always take the or, she said.) Things I have learned: 1) Some people aren't good at sympathy. 2) Man-colds are psychologically horrible. I'm so used to being able to function at a certain level that as soon as I come down with a cold and can't THINK / it hurts to move / i cough every other minute / i can't breathe because my sinuses are messed up and my chest feels like someone is standing on it... well, i fall apart. seriously. oh, and more importantly 3) i'm SO thankful I can't get pregnant. i couldn't handle being a woman.

Still sick

but doing much better! Better living through Chemistry is what my wife-to-be says. i gotta agree. life is better by a little bit when you take the right drugs. on top of the cold, i was also suffering a massive headache and didn't really figure out why until around noon today. 1) i've hardly eaten anything in the last 3 days. 2) no caffeine! so i made myself some tea and soup and i'm feeling a bit better.

i can't wait to get back to work, though. i'm getting really restless. not to mention the thought of bills, bills, bills, mortage and more bills start to press down on you when you're not working. addie and i are looking into refinancing the house, and we should be able to bring it down an entire percent. the initial 3k or whatever to get it done will be a bit fun to come up with, but it'll save us big in the long run. i also met with a realtor working with moody on student housing and he seemed very excited about renting the house. if that happened, we could have a signed contract for 3 to 5 years, depending on the student & major. even if we just break even, that'll be an awesome thing to have happen.

Sick.

Went to sleep last night with a bit of a cough, woke up this morning with a bit of no-voice and a bit of a cough and a bit of pain. I called Mortimore's to tell them I'd be a little late, since I'd need to pick up some cough suppressant and Angela told me not to bother coming in. I am now drinking very hot green tea in an attempt to burn my throat into numbness. I took some Buckleys but forgot to eat anything first, so its not feeling so great in my stomach. Thankfully Rachel picked up some breakfast when she went out, so I've now had a sandwich. I also now have some Robitussin. Yummy...

anyway, this shouldn't last long. only a temporary setback!
