First day of school - both kids came home excited today. Kylie is no longer nervous about Kindergarten and she's written a "letter" to her "boyfriend" from last year. It's nothing more than a piece of paper with a bunch of stickers on it that she folded and put in an envelope, but to her, it's of utter importance, no doubt.
Dillon informed me tonight that he likes the way I think ahead, and that he thinks ahead too. Here's how our conversation went:
- Dillon - If I had a girlfriend I would tell her I was a racer and I would go to her house in my racing uniform. I would tell her that I came in first place in my race. But she would ask where my trophy is, and I would tell her I came in 4th place.
- Jeff - Good thinking Dillon. Did you have a specific girl in mind?
- D - No, but I would like a girlfriend.
- J - You would?
- D - Yes, I think that would be good for me, but I'm a little nervous about asking a girl to be my girlfriend.
- J - Well...you can have a girlfriend if you want, but you should probably just take your time getting one.
- D - Yeah, you're right. Good night daddy.
Pushups - I'm still on my quest to 100 pushups. I've added crunches / situps back into my routine. More than my scrawny arms, I'm really unhappy with my gut, er stomach. I lost a LOT of muscle as a result of my injury a couple of years ago (you don't know, I might have had a lot of muscle then), and it just never came back. My stomach and arms atrophied the most, so I'm really on a quest to get them back into decent shape. I pushed out 66 pushups tonight (in 4 sets.) Not too bad, my initial test to see how many I could do was only 14 just less than 2 weeks ago. In a single set now, I can run off about 26.
DNC - I started to watch the DNC tonight, but then I saw James Carville on and that was enough. I got in all of 13 seconds of the convention, that's enough. Bring back rythmic gymnastics from Beijing please.
Enjoy your week. Work hard, you have a nice 3 day weekend coming your way as a reward!
