Look What I Found

Dominic's baseball season started on Monday morning at 8:45 AM Sharp. It is fun to watch the kids progress in baseball. They hit more, they catch more, understand the game better and most of all it starts to become more fun.

Dominic started the season going 2 for 3 and scored a run, he was excited.

Today though he really came through, he went 3 for 4 with a RBI and while playing right field he caught a fly ball!!! As the late Harry Carry used to say "Holy Cow"!!!

He was on cloud nine.

Floyd the Barber

I have a next door neighbor who for the sake of realism lets say his name is Randy. Now Randy is a peach and by peach I mean pain in the ass. He is on most levels harmless but none the less a complete knob. I remember the guy that owned the cottage next to us as a kid, his name was Floyd and Randy is in the same mold.

There is a really nice strip of grass between our homes where we play catch with the football, baseball and the kids just play. We have always picked up any toys that may end up on his lawn and to top it all off I even mow his lawn.

Well Randy has decided it was time to do some landscaping and is not leaving even an inch undone so the amount of grass has significantly been reduced.

On the big scale it doesn't really matter because we have other neighbors that lend their yard and are truly wonderful people (and the kids love them). Now Randy isn't doing anything wrong, he is just making his yard "better" but I think I still hold a grudge to when he called the cops on Christmas morning because our dog pooped in our yard.

On to the job front........things are brewing.....that is all I am saying

On the weight loss front, I have changed my plan of attack. Calories are now counted along with a lower carb focus. Weight loss this week has been 8 lbs, lets see if we can keep it up.

Monkey Pickles

Since the new rage are photo blogs, we (and by we I mean me) had the cool idea to set up a photo blog. We will be giving the kids the camera as often as we can just to see what they take pictures of. We will be posting them on our photo blog at pjdrews.eyefetch.com. Tommy's pictures are the most fun as he has no idea what is right and wrong but that leaves a world open to interpretation.....how fun.

A Flurry of Activity

Having made the prediction that this was the week for my job hunt to really heat up, going into Friday it wasn't looking good. Jen and I headed out for walk, when I got home there was a whirlwind of active for the rest of the day.

No less than 5 opportunities hit, it was sending out references and authorizing resumes to be released. It was filling out questionnaires and emails that didn't end until past 5pm last night.

So for my next prediction, this coming week we will schedule three face to face interviews. This is the week, watch out.....
