.Lisa is a poop-head. She thinks that it is too time-consuming to update this page. I will try and do it for her. Today I took Dauber to get a bath and we are getting ready to go and turn in the Carivan. It will be nice not having the extra car in the drive and I will get a refund for the insurance that I have pre-paid. We will also go and get new tires for my car (the present tires are original and have about 80,000 miles on them). Other than that, we will probably do the typical clean the house and do laundry thing this weekend. Only 9 more days until opening day in Cleveland which could only lead to a giant hang-over ( I can't wait for my annual day of excess--I could do without the hang-over though. By the way, everything that you have heard or remember about two-year olds is false.....it's much much worse. One more item of note...Shawn said his first swear word the other day (shit). He learns all those bad habits from his Mother, she has such a potty mouth!!! Have a good weekend!

This will be my last blog entry. I have decided to put an end to this web page.

Shawn's food consumption from 5pm-8:30pm tonight:

1 cup cheddar brocolli rice
24oz milk
1 lg can of mandarin oranges
1 taco bell soft taco
6oz of diet coke

This may not seem like a lot to you, but for this little man who would only eat fruit & drink milk last week, this is a victory

We tried to take Shawn to Penneys for his 2year picture & he wanted nothing to do with it. He was all dressed up cute & in a great mood, but when he saw the room, the moving backdrops & the table, he freaked out. He kept saying no & running out. They had me laying on the table & him sitting on me & he still wouldn't go for it. I think he thought he was at the doctors. I was really bummed. I'll try again in 6 months & see if he understands the process a littler better by then.

We are going to a surprise birthday party tonight for someone that I work with. We would rather just camp out at home, but we committed to going so we have to leave at 5:20 tonight.

I joined the OSU alumni association this past year. I just received my order form for 2 tickets to a home game. They assign you to a game by a last name rotation. I have the opportunity to go to a game on Sept 13th against North Carolina State. It is $99 for 2 tickets plus $7.50 for a parking pass. I would like to go & see the new stadium & take Tim to see a game, as he never has there. We'll see what he decides.

I head to Dearborn, MI on Thursday for payroll training. I will spend the night & head back on Friday. I then go back the following Thursday for 1 more class. I will take the 14th off to prepare for Shawn's party on the 15th. Hard to believe that he will be 2.
