Okay, Okay ... I've Been Delinquent

i remember the days before there ever was an "ian's blog sucks," when there was only ian's blog, which sucked.

i used to make fun of him and leave comments when he went two days without a new post. today, i stand humbly before you and beg your forgiveness for my own blog-related shortcomings.

it's hard, though. some days i just don't feel like i have anything to say that you'd be interested in hearing. but who am i kidding? seriously ... reading this blog has got to be the highlight of your day.

so you want an update? here's what's gone down this week:

• kimmy had her doctor's appointment on tuesday, and later we had a scare of sorts that had us packing up the car and ready to head to the hospital. long story short, no big deal, and it ended up being the first of our "false alarms." i was honestly pretty excited though ... since for a second it seemed for a short while like we might be hours away from parenthood. patience, grasshopper.
• i've been busy with work, and am involved in some very exciting projects ... not that you care.
• i made my football picks for this weekend. last weekend started out great -- i think i had 6 of the first 7 games right. then the rest of the day happened. if i don't do better this week, i'm going to try choosing teams by coin flip next week ... and i bet i'll do better.
• barry bonds got his first home run tonight since returning to the team. 704. what a dream boat. oops, did i say that out loud?
• alexis is ready to pop. her due date is a few days before kimmy's ... and she's ready. i can't wait for our babies to play together. although, for the first several months, play might not be the right word. i can't wait for them to sit next to each other and cry and mess their diapers simultaneously. then, after that, maybe they'll play.
• joanne is getting here on tuesday. kimmy's keeping her thighs tightly pressed together so that the baby doesn't come before her mom arrives. we'll see how well that works ... but i have a feeling it won't be a problem. i'm torn about picking her up at the airport ... i don't want to leave kim and am tempted to take joanne up on her offer of taking the airporter. but then again, if she goes into labor while i'm gone, i can't picture a CHP officer who wouldn't let me slide once he saw that he was dealing with a father and grandma rushing home for the birth. we'll see.

so that's about it. sorry it took so long for an update. pretty boring stuff. but you were riveted ... weren't you?
