Adventures with Maryn

Point of No Return

1 Comment

Janice is now 35 weeks pregnant.. which means that Vegas could arrive at any time. We’ve been told by the Dr.s that they will not stop labor, should it start for any reason now (of course…they told us this after spending 12 hours stopping her labor – which is a whole other issue-..so.. who knows if they mean it)

This has put Janice in a ‘hurry up and get it done’ mood…. she wants to finish up all the stuff we don’t have done (little things like pack the hospital bag, wash the baby’s clothes, pick out a name…)

So, last night at work, Janice sends me an email with a bunch of names on it that she wants my opinion on.. on the list was this:

Yoda Jade suggested by Kael. I think its the clear winner, and I think we’ll let Kael make the final decision

Message from Kael

kkhggfgujkk;]2

your guess is as good as mine what it says… probably “what happened to my message” as he has now learned that you can move items around on the dock.. so he just spent 10 minutes moving some of my dock icons around.. right up until he decided to quit one of the running programs and drag it out of the dock so it would do its little poofing trick and disappear..

Is it a bad sign, when you have to watch what your two year old does on the computer.. not because you’re worried about him browsing to a porn site (although, he does manage to move from one website to another pretty well.. Janice says he’s even started posting messages on one of the forums she’s on).. but because you’re worried he’ll drag something into the trash, and empty the trash on you?

Toddler Wisdom 10

Race that car Daddy!, We’re in First Place!

I’m beginning to think that there are lots of speeding tickets in Kael’s future… Of course, being the good parent that I am.. I do ‘race’ the car he’s pointing at when he says it.. so.. there’s bound to be more speeding tickets in my future to… hopefully, I’ll get pulled over by a cop with a toddler.. so he’ll understand and let me go without the ticket!

Love hurts

Or in this case… it kills!

This poor guy will never get a date again. Can you imagine the conversation?

Girl: “So, how come you and your last girlfriend aren’t still together?”

Guy: “Umm.. I killed her”

Girl: “Uhh..I gotta go wash my hair or something”

Now personally, I would think that if your girlfriend was allergic to peanuts… that you would be a little more careful what snacks you were eating around here.. or, at least always have a bottle of mouthwash handy if you just can’t resist the Reese’s Peanut Butter cups (and really, who can resist those.. yummy!)

First Sleepover

Saturday night, Kael spent the night at his Nana’s.. it was the first time he’s spent the whole night someplace else.

He did a great job..he went to bed ok, then he mostly slept through the night (he was only up once I got told). This is a good thing, it means that when we have to leave him at one of the grandparents’ house when Vegas is being born, that it won’t be a huge pain for him.

And, it means we can get a night or two to ourselves between now and Vegas’ arrival.

Kael is turning into such a big boy!

Tech

Name Brand Confusion

OK.. once upon a time, there was a cell phone company called AT&T Wireless.. they sold themselves to a little company called Cingular Wireless, and then there was no more AT&T Wireless.. now.. while this sounds like a sad, sad story for little AT&T Wireless.. it doesn’t end there.. see, this other little company called SBC bought all of AT&T (the little, itty, bitty, phone company) and now that they have completed that little purchase.. they are changing the name of Cingular (who they own a good chunk of) back to…. wanna take a guess?

Yep..AT&T Wireles… only.. apparently, AT&T is no longer ‘cool, hip, and in touch with its youth’ so, the marketing type folks at SBC have decided to change the name to: at&t apparently.. they think this will make them part of the ‘in crowd’ since they won’t have to worry about the lazy people who always type with ‘u’ for you, 2 for two.. etc..etc.. having to remember to hit the shift key for all four characters, just for one…

I’m a Winner!

No I didn’t just win a 340 million dollar lotto.. or even a 3 dollar lotto, heck.. I didn’t even win a 1 dollar scratch ticket….. way back in August, my happy web provider Dreamhost was running a contest to have people edit up a short video they put online.. the grand prize for their contest was free lifetime hosting – at one of their ‘lower’ plans (even their lowest plan gives me way more disk space and bandwidth then I can actually use)… Today, they announced the winners, and no.. I did not win the grand prize.. or even the 2nd place..or the 3rd place.. all of those went to people that actually knew what they were doing when editing the movie..I won the consolation prize.. a free year of hosting! (and yes.. the consolation prize is better then no prize at all.. so don’t think I’m complaining) So.. now I’m not only a happy Dreamhost customer.. I’m a happier Dreamhost customer…
