Where the h-e-double hockey sticks have I been?!?!?

So, I'm sad to say that I've been away from the blog-o-sphere for way too long. My heart was warmed by the outpouring of support I got on my last post. And by outpouring, I mean 4 comments, and by support, I mean no one threatened my life.

So, since it's been awhile, let's catch up. My kiddo's almost 5 months old now! 5 MONTHS! Holy crap, the days of my growing up are fast approaching, and pretty soon I'll have to actually start actng like the adult I pretend to be. Work is still work. Those of you who know me, know enough. Those of you that don't...why the hell are you reading this blog?..anyway, for those of you that don't know me, I'm about to enter my 11th year at the same company, and i LOVE my job! the sad part is that's not sarcasm! I love what I do, it's 50% stress, 50% teamwork, 50% people management, 50% creativity. Wait a darn minute, that's 200%!! oh yeah, I forgot the other 50%...political crap. that's the part that I do not like, but oh well.

So, since I know that you all tune in to hear me complain about something, I'm going to complain. Today's victim is..me.

I have come to a few conclusions in life, and they are painful, hopeful, stressful, wonderful, etc, etc. I'm a little bit crazy. I know, I know...'Not You!' is EXACTLY what you're all thinking. I've been looking back over the last few decades, and I've come to the conclusion that I have to be crazy for one simple reason. I'm happy, and it seems like the rest of the world is FREAKING OUT! Let me go into a little more detail... (sorry)

I am 33 years old, only slightly out of shape, I have an excellent house, a WONDERFUL wife, a beautiful baby girl, a great puppy, I love my job, my health is good. Now, there's debt, and gas proces, and terrorism, and whatnot, but why should I get stressed about thing I can not control. I do my best, like car-pooling, keeping the air and heat at reasonable temps, recycle a lot, garden, etc. But for things like the oil proces, what can I do, yell at OPEC, ok...AARRRGGHHHH! did it work? oops, guess not. I had my water heater die, and had to buy a new one. Wht can I do, not have hot water.

So it's these reasons, and many more you can come up with that have led me to belive that I'm crazy.

Oh well, I've accepted it.

I promise to be bitchier next time....
