Hello all.
I guess it's my time to periodically update this thing (not like anyone reads my posts or anything).
We're homesick. Yeah, I want back to the Northeast. Rusham was right about Texas ... there's really nothing down here for me or Donica. We've been sitting here for the last two weeks remembering everything we liked about Buffalo. Aldi's ... Casa Di Pizza ... China Buffet ... Thursday at the Square.
It kind of makes us wonder why we moved in the first place. I mean, I want to take Dmitri to his first Sabres game (It wasn't a goal, Farrar ... and his other first words are going to be NO GOAL) ... his first Freakout with Daddy. It just doesn't seem feasible down here. New York is a world away. FDA came in to audit and my one chance at sanity was taken away because I couldn't take my vacation to see my friends and family. I was nearly devastated.
That's just going to be a long-term goal. Apparently, companies are not offering moving costs as a perk anymore. Put Freakboy into the 21st Century. I feel old. In any case, the job is the job. We're slowly making profit off of the Iraq War (which makes me feel a little guilty). It looks like we'll have some money in another two or three months so that I can hire another engineering lackie to beat on ... plus have some stock in the company ...
I look at it this way. Company's going to give me a raise before I get another job. Might as well bank off it no matter what.
On a good note, Dmitri is growing like a little weed. I did a Denver II Developmental on him tonite and he's just months ahead of his peers. That and I measured him. He's at least 90th Percentile for height and 75th for weight. Tall, big baby. Probably is going to end up kicking his daddy's ass when he's 14.
I'm just so happy he's turning out right (and sleeping right now, which I'm not going to jinx by mentioning it). His vowels are exceptional ... I jsut wish he'd learn how to sleep in his crib for the whole night. I get scared because sometimes I wake up from a deep sleep in the morning and just find him in bed ... Donica brings him in to feed and leaves him in bed with us. Kind of freaky.
So I'm just now learning (possibly) that Katie may be pregnant ... nice of you FUCKERS to tell me :-P Congrats Adam and Katie if you actually are pregnant. If you need any advice, I'm here. I got lots of it ... including the fact that you should take no one's advice if you decide to breast feed. (Trust me ... whether it's from relatives or Lactation Consultants, it's useless advice). Maybe Dmitri and the kid can play together at a Freakout one year ... who knows.
For all those that want a little more of an update than once a blue moon, I LOVE phone calls ... the new # is 469-330-0937
If not, You'll hear from me on the next update!
