So Tooz sent me an email with links to blogs from the extended Meadors clan, and as an unofficial member, I figured I ought to follow suit. I'd been following Lydia's Baby Blog for a while, and was pretty stoked to see Jenn posting comments as I think of her every now and then. So, here goes. Lots of topics come to mind, but I think I'll break them up rather than tap myself with on long post.
Catch up for anyone who doesn't know--Tom and I marked 10 years together last Thursday, and Monday marks our second wedding anniversary. Our son, Christopher, is approaching 19 months old and I can barely keep up with him. Not only is he a runner, but he's a climber, and I am constantly turning around to find him perched on a coffee table, the ottoman, an end table--I'm surprised he hasn't made it to the top of the curtains yet.
I've been sick since Wednesday after the big duststorm hit the Valley of the Sun. I've basically been in bed for three days fighting fever and pondering what to do with the tissues and toilet paper wasted from blowing my nose. I have to think that there's something there--maybe a fuel source? Not as efficient as biodiesel, but there are so many people out there with allergies that at least it would be renewable. I suggested to my husband that I could the tissues in construction--replacing wood glue, or compressed into bricks. That's when he felt my forehead and asked if I had another fever.
I actually took some rare sick time from work this week. I'm working at a large global company in their technology division, behind the scenes on our customer website. I'm a Senior Business Systems Analyst, which basically means I act as a liaison between the tech guys and the MBAs so they understand each other. It was very nice meeting Daniel a few weeks ago when I was in Kentucky--he's the first person I met in a while to whom I didn't have to explain my job. We had a very conversation on Sunday morning waiting for Ann before the service started. I decided I like Daniel a lot.
I'm going to go ahead and post this, and see if anyone cares, and then I work on getting some pics of my son up, some funny stories about my visit last month, and some other odds and ends. Tom just got a bowl of ice cream and I'm finding it very tempting.

Cheese, Louise! I get to be the first one to post on your blog! I think snot might not work as well as buggers in construction (remember In Living Color and the wino who added a room onto his cardboard house?), but I'm sure there is a use for it. I will really look forward to reading posts and comments on this blog! Love you.
Hey, Butch! How the heck are you! I, too, have a blog (which started because of Lydia's blog). I kept meaning to get your e-mail address and write, but you know how it is - no time for anything between working and a kid! There's a link on my blog to e-mail me - so please do! my blogger blog is stinkbumps.blogspot.com.
So excited for you! I'm glad everything worked out for you!
Love, Sundance
P.S. Snot would possibly work in construction, but only if you mixed it with a little flour (kind of like old-fashioned glue).
Yesterday I learned from my husband who USED to do construction work, that flour/water wallpaper paste is the roach's favorite food. I wonder if they like snot/water wallpaper paste? You could be helping out a lot of pest-infested folks if they don't!
yay. i'm excited. i think it's funny that we all have our own personal websites, don't you? it's really ridiculous. i'm so thankful we were reconnected with you. daniel and i found a church today, and it's a vineyard. yay.
Did you know that you are practically my neighbor? I live in San Antonio, TX, now. How's the family?
"She said, 'I'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our home....'"
I don't recall any mention of snot in the song, though. Roaches also love corrugated cardboard. Found that out the hard way once, in our apartment from 8 years ago, when we cleaned out a closet stuffed with cardboard boxes. I wound up mopping the walls with 20Mule Borax.
Maybe we should all join forces and make one huge blog that we would all post to!
So glad y'all came to see me--I'm in the middle of making dinner, but I'll be back.
I believe if we all combined our rather nutty personalities into one blog, it would create a gigantic black hole in the internet and destroy all cyber-life as we know it. I think the world can only handle us all in small, individualized doses! LOL
Now what would we call our mass blog? We could have one, you know, and each still keep our other one. We would have to invent a character to host the thing, Joe the Wino, something like that--well, talk amongst yourselves. Love you all!
Our blog name? Hmmmmm........
Crackers, Nutso & Shenanigan, Ltd?
Just a thought....
No thoughts on a blog name, but I'm thinking it could be fun! Another option: we could set up our own discussion forum. I know a site that hosts private boards, and belong to one some online friends and I created. I could certainly look into setting one up if we wanted it.
