    Copper Creek Chit Chat, Part #4

    Seems like everyone is getting new toys but me! Ah, the joys of being broke and having kids. :facepalm: Well, it's time to head out and get to the gym. 6 more pounds. 6 more pounds. 6 more pounds.... Ive been playing with the numbers... I'm thinking that if I can get down to about a 12%...

    Good Not Monday Morning!!!! Standard weather in the South today. High 80's, probable popup thunderstorms this afternoon. Mrs E came to Kat's practice last night for the first time since Kat started on the new team. She was about as unimpressed with the team as I was, but also agrees that...

    It really has been crazy quiet in here... I miss a lot of the old gang... Ben, Bruce, Paul, Sallie, Voo, Bliss, Dawn..... <sigh> Today's been another busy yet uneventful day. I've managed to muddle through a bunch of new procedures from the new combined company... Man, if they find the most...

    Happy Monday!!! :glare: Had a relatively uneventful weekend. Went to the gym Saturday morning. I buzzed CJ's hair off. He refused to brush it without a small battle every morning, so I said "Fine. You wont brush it, I'll shave it off so you dont have to worry about it anymore". When I went...

    Time to start packing up and changing clothes. Traffic on my primary route home is already snarled up. It's always worse than normal on Fridays, but there's a wreck that got a whole bunch of dark red on Google Maps. So, its off to the secondary roads. Blech. Y'all have a great weekend!

    I was making good headway... Then lunch happened. For some reason, I lost my motivation again... Not that it matters. In a little while, I have a one hour block set up for a phone conference with Douche Canoe. That will leave me about 15 minutes before I have to fill out my timesheet. Then...

    HAPPY FRIDAY!!! Where is everyone??? PD? Drott? You guys normally beat me here! Today should be a rather busy, yet uneventful day at work. Admittedly, it's my own fault. I havent been moving like a Tasmanian Devil this week, and it shows. I need to get my .... in gear and hit the...

    Right now, I'm hoping the rain holds off until about 10:00 tonight. I'm headed home to get the kids and change clothes, then heading to the gym for a little bit, then taking Kat to practice from 7:30-9:30. Ungh. Tomorrow is supposed to be a little warmer, but no rain. I'm probably going to...

    Good morning everyone. The kids' last day of school is today. It's also the day we see the final report cards. Mrs E told Kat that if she didnt maintain the A/B Honor Roll, she's not playing softball until the Fall season. Not really much else going on. Temps are still down in the 70's...

    Mrs E says the same thing! She used to be absolutely tiny, but three kids has demolished that, and she hates it. I remember her curled up in my lap after we got married and she jokingly said "If I ever hit 120, just shoot me!" I'm glad I didnt. It's nice having her around every once in a...

    Good morning everyone! Weather is still being bipolar. Rain this morning. Supposed to have sun early afternoon. Then more storms this evening. Temps are unseasonably cool. Lows in the mid 60's and highs in the mid 70's. I'm really wishing I could ride the bike, but I dont feel like riding...

    Well kiddies, time to head home then rush off to the gym. I know, I know. My party animal life is too wild for this bunch. ;) I hope everyone has a good evening!!! I threaten my kids with "You dont eat until your chores are done". Of course I give in long before they finish, but they dont...

    ^^^What she said^^^ My day isnt going too bad. Been fairly productive. Weather is rainy, thundering, and just dreary. I'm loving it. We've been in a dry spell since early May. We needed it. I saw something on FB that was hilariously messed up. Someone tied a "Get Well Soon" balloon to...

    Mornin' everyone! Y'all have been quiet lately. Nothing new to add... We're just settling down into our normal weekly routine of softball, gym, gym, softball, gym, yard/housework, softball, repeat. Kids are on their last week of school. Theyre excited. Mrs E is terrified.

    And now I'm back looking for sponsors. This time, not for a whole team though. Just for Kat. The team is asking for $300 by next week. When she told me that, I laughed. She kinda looked at me funny. I have a few places in mind that may be able to help out though. Now its just going to be...
