Well, today was pretty nasty. It was cold and wet all day. Got allot done work wise but not much outside. Tomorrow I will be headed to Conway to work, should spend most of my morning there. I hope I will be done by lunch, because tomorrow is Wings Wednesday baby !!
My wife got allot done in the garage for our garage sale this weekend. We seem to be finding more and more things. It is suppose to be sunny and in the mid 70s so hopefully it will go well.
I HAVE to get back into the gym. My eating has been pretty good but I need to get in the gym to really start loosing weight. I have been talking to some friends and they get there daily, so there is no excuse why I can not do the same.
Hopefully tomorrow will be better than today.

Decisions...
Well, I ended up call back ATT asking how much it would take for me to get out of my contact and it is going to cost about how much I can sell my phone for. So I could get out of my contact and go to another carrier with no cost to me.
Being ATT, they told me that I could lower my plan to save some money, because come to find out I am not even coming close to my minutes. Chalk this up to something else that I did not know. Currently me and my wife share 1400 minutes and we are really only using about 500, 600 at most. It actually took the rep a few minutes and help to find out where I could see this information.
I could drop down to 700 minute plan for $20 less. And on top of that I could get a fee upgrade to any phone but the iphone4. So If I stay with ATT I could get a new phone and cell my current phone and gain about $250 or I could drop ATT like a bad rock because they did not honor what they said and transfer over my unlimited data plan and move to Verizon.
I will be waiting on whatever I do to when Tiffany gets ready to upgrade her phone. Did some reading today and it looks like apple may not release their next iphone in June like they have been doing in the past.
One thing I know, more phones are due out soon so I will be waiting to see what is going to happen. I might just go ahead and drop my plan down to 700 minutes just to save $20 a month.

Monday
You know, it has been one of those days. It seems that it has been a typical Monday. I did meet up with some friends and ate sushi but other than that, the day has been pretty blah.
I really need to get out and do something but I just can't get motivated to do anything. Megan has soccer and Mason has tumble so I will get out then. I think it is the weather. Cold and wet lately, not conducive to a good mood.

Movie !!
Today was a pretty good day. Started off going shopping with my daughter. She needed a new pair of shoes. We went to Rack Room Shoes, and she got IMO a new pair of good shoes, not just a kids pair but one that will hopefully last her for awhile.
We then walked to over to JC Penney's and looked at some luggage. We are thinking about getting new luggage for our trip to Oregon. We have never bought luggage before, we just use hand me down stuff atm.
After killing time looking around in department stores, I ended up going to the movies with my son. We saw Rango and if anyone has not seen it, it is a pretty good movie.
After the movie, we ate with my wife's friend Beckie. I ate a Olive Garden and for the first time I did not have any pasta there, just good soup and salad.
We are now home, and I am ready for bed. Am I glad that the weekend is over? Not really. It was a pretty good weekend with my family even though we spent money. :-)
I would do it again in a heart beat. I love my wife and my family and I enjoyed being with them today.

Megans Soccer Game
Well, Megan had her soccer game tonight, and it was very nice. It was a little cold for me this time of year, but all in all not a bad night. Here are a few pics that I took of Megan at the game.
If you notice, there is a lot of noise in the photos. This is due to me setting the ISO to around 800. I had to do this to get quick shots. There was an overcast and it was late in the evening. I will continue to learn my camera but I know the more that I do it, the better I will get.

Denied
Well I was denied for a third time to be upgraded to the unlimited data plan on my phone. To give u a bit of back story, I upgraded to my current phone with the thought that I would keep my unlimited data plan. This did not happen and when I realized the mistake it was too late.
I have been denied three times to be switched to the plan that I was suppose to be on. Every time I call they esscelate the call and every time it gets denied. As soon as my wife upgrades her phone I will be looking hard at Verizon and switch carriers.
If I could drop uverse and get something better I would but there is nothing better where I am at.

Friday !!
Well, it was a pretty good day for a Friday. I got the kids up and moving, or more likely the kids got me up and moving. I ate lunch with my beautiful wife at her work and then came home to work some more.
There has been a nasty virus going around our work that we have been cleaning up over the past day, hopefully it will be cleaned up soon. Been working pretty hard today, trying to finish up the week good.
Tonight is Megan's soccer game, so I will post some pictures from the game.

Mason
Here are a two pictures that I took of my little man outside today after they got home. He was playing with some stone rabbits that we have in our flower beds and was trying to put his shoes on them. They were the rabbits shoes ;-)
He is a handful, but would not give anything for him and would do anything to keep him safe.
I have started playing with my Olympus E500 that my wife hates. She does not like it because the camera is so big. I got her a little point and shoot Panasonic last year, and it works out better for her. I have been using the Olympus more and more just trying to get better used to all of the settings. I am going to be putting more and more photos on here, so keep watching.

Landscaping
As I mentioned before, Here are a few pics that I took of our landscaping that we have been doing over the past month
Here is the timer that I got to water everything on the side of the house. It is set to go off at 6 AM every morning for 30 min.
There is some space in between the bushes that I want to put something, but right now I want to see how everything else grows. Tiffany planted some bulbs and with the soaker hose I am curious as to how well they grow. I have hope that they will grow like they suppose to. I don't remember what exactly she purchased, but I am sure that it will look great.
It is turning out to be a very beautiful day. I might try and get a jog in soon or wait for Tiffany and the kids to come home and see if Megan (my daughter) wants to get on her bike and ride along while I jog. It would be nice to get her outside of the house on such a nice day.

What a Day
It was a nice day today. I got a lot done, my wife was off work today and all in all, it was not half bad. Started off working and got a lot done. Finished up taxes, was kind of waiting because we have to pay federal but we get back enough to offset with state.
Tiffany and I went to lunch, had a good lunch. I had 2 chicken fajita wraps and Tiffany had chicken nachos. She is contemplating on doing the all raw green veggie detox that I went though about a month ago. I say go for it.
After getting back home, and doing more work I get the kids from daycare. They had a pretty good day too. Getting home I get them outside to shovel some mulch that I had purchased earlier in the day. We ate our dinner and finished up on the mulch, and after showers we are now all ready for bed.
Today's weight: pound or so less
Sleep hours last night: 10
Number of fruits and vegetables today: fruit smoothie for lunch, chicken and veggies for dinner
Type of physical exercise and # of minutes: working in yard
One thing that motivates me today: my kids and my wife

Good day today also. Sunday was pretty good. Got some more things done around the yard, sprayed grub killer since we found a few in our flower bed. I need to get my mulch to spread out in the beds, and after that I will be done. I think it will last though the summer with the soaker hose.
Lunch was good at Jason's Deli, below you will see my lunch, it was pretty good imo. Small group was good tonight, I cooked chicken fajitas, for the most part I stayed true to my diet, but strayed a little with some corn and guacamole dip.

Not a bad day today, pretty good for Saturdays. We got a lot done around the house. This morning, Tiffany went with Megan to her fun meet for gymnastics. She is now officially lvl 2. This is a good thing. My wife has some pictures that I will post when I get them off the camera.
Yesterday was a pretty busy day with Megan having soccer and also the Daddy/Daughter dance that night. We had a pretty good time, and after a few of us dads with our daughters went and got some frozen yogurt. Of course mine was sugar free with fruit.
For a Saturday, it was pretty good. Later in the evening Tiffany and I went out for dinner and a movie, but the movie got cut short because Megan was not feeling well. So, we came home gave the baby sitter money and then put Megan to sleep.

Afternoon jog
WOW. I never knew that jog would be so hard. My gps on my phone put it at 3.4 miles, but mapmyrun put it at 3.11 miles. I will go with map my run, none the less it was a hard jog. There are a lot of hills in that route. My legs are burning.
It was nice to get out though, getting that vitamin D really feels good. I have a feeling that this summer, I will getting outside a lot more. 3.1 miles in 51 min, pretty slow, but getting longer and longer jogs in.

Another morning, a new me. Started off the day eating half of a kolchie and an apple fritter. Better than last week but since Fridays seem to be Donut day for the kids, I take what I can get.
I feel pretty good today, I need to go around the house and open some windows so it is not so dark while I work. Getting sun really makes me feel better.
Daddy/daughter dance at our church is tonight, I will get some pics up tonight so you can see how big my daughter is. We went last year it was pretty fun, but this year we also have soccer the same night, so we will have a game first then run and change to get to the dance.
Tomorrow we will get a sitter and Tiffany and I will be going out for a date. It has been awhile since we have gone out, so it will be nice.
