Feb Brew airy

Well it is now February and I have successfully completed a few more items on my list.  I completed numbers 89 and 98 this week.  than means I made it through the week without playing my xbox.  It was touch and go for the first couple of days but after I made it past the shakes and withdrawls it was a breeze.  Ha Ha no I did not really go through withdrawls but it did make it a lot easier to complete the task of going to bed before midnight for a week.  All and all it worked out pretty good because I had some homework to get done so that took most of my free time.  

While going over my list I discovered number 23 that I had completed and forgot to mention.  I entered a chili contest that a church was having.  I entered my caution flag chili for the contest and I must say I got a pretty good do on it.  All though for some reason I did not win (I think it was a conspiracy with the church ladies) I did win a sprinkler for having the best spicy chili.  By the way what is with churches and chili.  I guess they just go hand and hand both are good to warm the heart and soul.  

Madigan is now putting down a size 2 thing of food like it is nothing.  You should check out Sarah's blog at thesillyhilles.blogspot to see all the pictures of her.  She is getting so big and sassy. She was sitting in her high chair as i was carrying her food over to her when she looked right at me and let out her high pitch war cry.  She even leaned forward in her seat at me.  It was like she was saying move your butt I am starving over here.  Only 7 months and already an attitude, can't wait until she is 15 ha ha.  She had her dr. appointment and he said no meat until 8 months so we still have a little time until I have to feed her the ham or chicken or beef or what ever it is.  We should be getting her 6/7 month pictures back this week finally.  Sarah is getting a little upset so I hope for our photographers sake he gets them done.  Well that is all that is happing in my little world so have a good feb brew airy and have and if anybody tries a new brew let me know about it.   

January is almost in the books

well january is almost over.  Hard to believe that we are already one month down.  We celebrated Burns night on friday.  It was a very fun night ( except for the few nerves before giving the toast to the lassies).  I got to try 2 new scotches that I have never had before.  McCullum and Oban and I would recommend them to any single malt lover.  Sarah did great with her speech to the lads.  We all looked great in our plaid.  Sarah made Madigan a cute little skirt out of the left over scrap she used to make my kilt and her skirt.  This week I am working on completing 2 more of my 101 list items.  They are to be in bed before midnight and not play the xbox for a week.  It has only been one day but it is going fine so far.  I am also going to start helping out with a little kids wrestling team.  It is in Axtell which is a small town just south of Kearney.  I am excited to get back into wrestling.  I hope that it will be a lot of fun and hopefully there will not be to many criers.  

Madigan is getting so big.  She has a doc appointment on friday for her 6-7 month check up.  We are going to ask about when we can start meat.  By the way if you haven't seen the meat in the baby food jars I suggest you don't look.  Better yet make a game of it and try and guess which meat it is.  They all look the same, the beef is the same color as the turkey, ham, chicken.  I have tasted all of the other foods we have given her so far and they all taste similar to what is says but i am nervous about trying the meat.  If you are ever so lucky to see the meat in the jar you should look around and find the little sausages in the jar of fluid.  I call it fluid because I am not sure what it really is.  Those things make me throw up in my mouth every time I see them but I still have to look every time.  Who would bother feeding their kids those.  Why not just cook them a hot dog it looks like it would be healthier.  Anyways Madigan got a jumperoo and loves it.  She goes crazy in it jumping all over the place.  Once she figures out she can move around Sarah and I are going to be in for a lot of trouble.  I get the feeling she will be all over the place and getting into everything.  

I will have to post again at the end of the week when i finish my 2 items and have some more to say. So until then have a good week and don't waste all of your time reading my blog.

A New Year

So it is the start to a new year.  I hope everyone had a good holidays.  Madigan is eating baby food now.  So far she has eaten the green beans and sweat peas.  The oatmeal cereal still seems to be her favorite.  Madigan seems to be enjoying the new foods.  Of course since it is a new year Sarah and I are starting a diet again to shed some of those unwanted and hey maybe it will help me achieve one of my items on my list.  To help with our diet and exercise plan we purchased a wii fit.  Getting our hands on one was an adventure in itself.  We had to call the stores around Kearney everyday to see if they had gotten any in on the trucks that day.  I am pretty sure that the employees of the electronics departments got tired of us hanging around and asking everyday.  Hey but the upside was that I now know the days that the new inventory will be in for future items that we might want.  I will let you know if the wii fit helps us with our diet.  If nothing else it is a lot of fun to play.  It is my turn up on the wii fit so until next week happy blogging.

#72

It has been a couple of weeks but I completed another item on my list.  I read Freakonomics by Steven Levitt.  It was a very interesting book.  It raised some interesting ways of thinking about how things in our society interact.  Some seem to be the obvious connections while other factors that you did not even think would be connected have a larger impact.  We had a good Thanksgiving. I ate too much as usual but that is what the holidays are about right.  It was great that Zac called and got to talk.  We all think about him and pray for him as he is overseas in Iraq. Madigan put on her show entertaining the family as usual.  She is getting so big and we are going to start to feed her cereal soon.  Hopefully she likes it.  If she is anything like her papa she will love food.  We got all of our Christmas shopping done which is great.  So now we got a few weeks to rest up before the mayhem of Christmas starts.  I hope the next few weeks are not to stressful for anyone and have a happy holiday season.

#82 complete

So it has been a week since i made my list and I have completed another task on my list.  I won my 5th game of racquet ball on Thursday night.  I have just started playing a couple of weeks ago.  I hadn't played for a couple of years so I had to start figuring it out again.  This list must be a bit of a motivator because prior to making the list I had only one 1 game and this week I won all five.  Other than that not much else is going on. The parents came up this weekend to do a little shopping and take a visit to the winery.  It was a good time.  Hope everyone has a good week and a happy turkey day.  

# 85 complete

So here it is--I too got suckered in and started my own blog.  Sarah talked me into it but I am still holding out against a facebook page.  I thought the 101 thing is a cool idea and it will give me something to work towards.  So by starting the hebeBG blog I can now cross off one of my items.
