I’m not going to lie. It’s been a shitty past couple of weeks. I’ve been working 75 to 85 hours a week, and to say I’m burned out would be an understatement. I scheduled a week of vacation this week, and it has made all the difference in the world. I’m on day two, and [...]

We had breakfast for dinner the other night because it’s awesome. I didn’t want Jules to do all of the cooking by herself, though, so I offered to help. She let me do the pancakes… an action that will henceforth be referred to as “The Mistake.” As you can see, I flipped a bit prematurely.
Still Crazy, But Back To Normal

I’ve been a married dude for nearly a month now. The honeymoon is over, the gifts are unwrapped, and things are finally starting to calm down a bit, right? *snort* I wish. My first week back at work was no tamer than the week I left. It’s been sheer chaos ever since I came back, [...]
I walked out the door today, and was almost startled by the cooler air when it hit me. It was about 70 degrees and absolutely gorgeous, in stark contrast to the miserably hot weeks we’ve had leading up to now. Glancing at the calendar on my desktop, I can see why. We have less than [...]

First of all, y’all will be pleased to know that I survived Jonny’s birthday party/float trip this past weekend. It was a lot of fun, and it was so nice to be able to relax for a while. This week is going by quickly so far. Already two days down. Midway through the day today, [...]
Why, hello there. For those of you who were wondering if I’m still alive, the answer is yes. Let me see if I can backtrack a bit. Tornado season has officially hit the Midwest. Two nights over the past week, the sirens have been blowing as heavy rain, thunder, and lightning put on a show [...]
This seemed to be the only appropriate title for this post. I have a little calendar over there on the side that keeps track of the days I’ve written blogs. The days light up on the days I write one; kinda like the little “good behavior” charts we had as kids. As you can see, [...]
The Makings of a Happy Mike

Since I hate being a downer (see last post), I figured I’d post about what a good mood I’m in. Because… oh yes… I’m in a good mood. First of all, I just did my taxes. I’m getting almost $3000 back. I was dreading doing my taxes this year, since we had business income, and [...]

Well, I’m glad you asked! Here’s the rundown. Jules and I had a date night Saturday night. We went to eat at Olive Garden, then went to see Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland. It was totally different than what I was expecting, but actually really good. Definitely had that “dark” Tim Burton feel to it. [...]
