In a gold lame speedo, so everyone will know!

Lols, the title for today's post was inspired by the Fed Ex driver that used to visit our office at my last place of business.  He asked where one of the guys I worked with once, and when I responded that he was on vacation in Hawaii, the driver said, " Rolling around in the sand, so everyone will know!"  It was such a random response that I still find it hilarious to this day. 

I was just thinking about the babymoon concept yesterday while I was throwing the ball for my dogs in the backyard.  Wife had been hinting about wanting to do something recently and I was just thinking through options.  The problem is, to be honest, we just got married in June, need to buy a bunch of things for the baby and money doesn't grow on trees.  I hate stressing out about money, because there's not a whole lot I can to have a positive effect on the bottom line.  I hardly ever splurge and just buy things for myself, but seem to barely keep up any way.  I just sent in over $300 in bills yesterday, and Wife wants to buy an $800 stroller this weekend.  God, I hope I get a good bonus this year. 

Anyway, enough about that, worrying about money makes everyone uncomfortable, and is boring to read about.  That's not the kind of blog we're trying to be!

Not much new is going on with the Wife since her meltdown on Monday.  She's been eating more in the morning and it seems to be helping.  From what I've read, the baby is 4 inches long now and all the joints are working.  The legs are growing longer than the arms and the taste buds are developing.  Pretty cool stuff. 

Wife asked me last night if I'd told anybody, and the truth is that besides the guys I went camping with, I really haven't.  She made such a big deal about not telling people until she could tell her friends, and it just doesn't seem like the kind of news you should spread by text message.  It's kind of a shocking reminder about how little I see my friends.  Most of them have two kids and I guess their hands are just full all of the time.  I invited a few to lunch tomorrow, maybe some of them will be able to go so we can watch some college football, have some good few and a beer or two and I can tell them in person.  Not getting my hopes up though. 

So today is my little Cavalier King Charles's birthday!  I can't believe he's two today, it seems like he was just a tiny little gerbil scared of everything yesterday.  I love grilling and trying new things, so I'm going to see if I can get my local butcher to mix some ground beef with brisket after work today. Supposedly, that is the most ridiculous blend you can get for a hamburger, so I'll barbecue those up for Wife and I and then make some sliders for the dogs.  I try to do something like that for all the birthdays, I think we did steak for Lucy's last birthday. 

Here's a picture of the birthday boy with his toy giraffe!
