Longhorn in Paradise

So, my brother has admonished me for not posting in a very long time...actually, he has been more specific in saying I have not written a substantive blog in a long long time. I guess the little blurbs about the fam and Mr. Obama don't count. I KNOW that peeps get tired reading my long-winded posts and that is why I have been trying to keep them short and sweet.

The fact of the matter is that I am both busy and uninspired. This freakin' presidential race is wearing me out...work is non-stop as I am completely tap dancing my way through shit that I have never done before. I mean, have any of you tried tap dancing for 3 months? It is tough. I'm often reminded of the story of Greg's mom's first day at work....but, I will leave that story for him. Same general idea, but I don't have anyone to call in for help!

So, enough bitching. My weekends have been great though. I got my walking boot off this past weekend and played some H.O.R.S.E. with my neighbor on Sunday in the beautiful 70 degree weather we had. Kat and I went to a wine tasting on Saturday that she had won...a group of about 10 of us went about an hour outside of town and tasted some exceedingly mediocre wine, but had fun doing it...we then had dinner with friends at a posh, mid-town establishment and went back to their place for our monthly "Game Night" and played Guitar Hero and cricket (high tech and low tech at its finest). Good times, good times.

This weekend is our FIFTH wedding anniversary and SIXTH anniversary of the day we met!!! Hard to believe everything we have done in six years...let me try to list it:

1. Got married
2. Had Liska
3. Switched Jobs
4. Sold the house in Austin
5. Moved to California (me) and Tulsa (Kat)
6. Bought a house in Cali
7. Had Hagen
8. Rocked the house at Seis de Mayo
9. Changed jobs again
10. Sold the house in Cali
11. Moved to Tulsa
12. Bought a house in Tulsa
13. Survived the California Fires of 2007
14. Broke my foot

I'm sure there is more that I am missing. I didn't talk about the formation of the Natty Five 9s. Or the formation of this blog for pete's sake! I guess those things have had a more profound effect on my fan's lives. They can put it on their lists. :-)

So, there you have it...substantial enough? I know it was boring, but I am f'ing tired. Did I mention that I cuss more when I am tired? I have been dropping f bombs like crazy lately. It is quite fun though. You should try it.

Much love to all!
