Dec. 31st


Hey. It's new Years eve. I'll be watching it on TV. Gonna stay at home cause the wife works. I don't wanna do anything anyway. I'd prefer a good ole family new years with my peeps in the 35. I just read that Charles Barkely was arrested for a DUI. He refused a breathe test thing. That can really only mean one thing. I'm working on a new blog. It is much more professional looking and the content is different. I'll tell you about it later. The mavs are now 19-12 after starting the season 2-7. They are only a game and a half out of first place. Good deal. I have a lot of cleaning to do today. We are out of paper towels. Oh, my woman bought us some ski's. this will avoid hassle for the rest of our lives. No more renting ski's and boots and cheap polls. Stinky boots who thousands of other people have worn before. Grossness to the max. Ooh dat is nasty. We are not sure where we are going to live next month. I'm still hoping for Denver but we may have to accept somewhere else. But it's ok. We shall go where we go and like it. So far so good. I really think the place we go will only get better. That's what I say.

Our first Visit



I have to do a better job with my body allowing the Christmas spirit inside. I think getting a tree wold help. We have to get a real one because a artificial tree would take up more space when we move. We don't need that. We need a dolly. I borrowed a dolly of the movers that moved in our furniture and it saved my life. It's why I'm alive to type this entry. I owe those dudes.

I'm a little jealous of Texas right now. I see it's a bit chilly there. But as always it will be back to 70 in no time. It's snowing in the Mountains in Cali. It's too bad there aren't any Mountains in Big D. I like L.A. but I almost can't wait to go to the next spot.
the picture above is the nerd that's coming to visit this weekend. That's Amanda. She may not be too thrilled with the photo I posted. But Inoevencaradow. We have an excellent surprise for anyone who would like a Christmas Gift from us. The present will follow in a the next post. Good day all!!!

Undecided Title

Hey. My travel nurse is working today and I am blogging. I watched a football game on Sunday where one team decided they would prefer to lose instead of win. It was extremely unprofessional and totally disgusting. The team asked the opposing team if they would like to win and the opposing team said of course we would....You beat us up today so we just assumed we were going to lose. Thank you so much. Are you stupid or somethin? Not even Forrest Gump was as stupid as the charity football team on Sunday. That's all I have to type about thayat.
I'm going to have lunch with my travel nurse again today. I visited her on Saturday and is was lovely. Something I do not understand...Or maybe I do is: I feel that many many people (unhappily married) are jealous of the relationship that other married couples (happily married) have. If I take my travel nurse lunch it's because I want to see her. I will do the same exact thing 10 years from now. I don't take her lunch because we have only been married for 3 months. For people to say, "Oh well he won't bring you lunch for ever. He's only doing it because yall are still fresh" is oh so silly to say. I say those people wish they had a husband who would bring them lunch. Maybe I should take them lunch too. That wold be a good dead. It would be like a meals on wheels for nurses who need a hug.
Amanda is coming this week. I'm glad. I want people to know where we are living and see parts of our travel experiences. My travel nurse and I are going to go to Cat's studio this week and record a few songs. I'm really excited. We haven't been to the studio since we recorded the Bridal March song for our weeding.
I thought I would share a video that makes me smile. It is from Emily's birthday party last year I believe. The funny thing is that she looks so embarrassed because of cameras and the fact that people are singing to her. She even decides to go underneath the table. Lol.

Travel Nurse Lunch


There are some gooooooooood football games on today. Conference championship games. I am going to pick up some Corner Bakery and deliver to my travel nurse who is working today. We had a lovely day in San Diego Friday. San Diego is very very nice and the Downtown area is super cool. Tons of bars and cool restaurants. It makes downtown L.A. look like a large piece of something that fell in the toilet. Good enough hint? The hot spots here are Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Good ole Amanda Armdog is coming to see us next weekend all the way from the Co. Gotta give a shout out to Waco. Anyone know about Skype? It's pretty cool. It's like a free phone call on the computer. Check it out. If everyone would get a web cam we could talk and see you. I must prepare for lunch with my lovely travel nurse wife . I shall return later this afternoon with more jibberish. Aight then!!!
Back: Went and changed the oil in the 4 runner and washed it. Dude at the lube place tried to rip me off. The air filter looked whiter than a new pair of shoes but he wanted me to purchase a new one. It was the first time I have changed oil but felt like I was at a Jamaica or Bahamas flee market. In return for me to buy the parts they would knock off 5 or 10 bucks. i wasn't biting. I've done stupid things in the past but I would not allow these fellows to be satisfied. I love red bull.

The spoiling nurse


My nurse spoils me more than I deserve. How? She is off for 3 or 4 days in a row and then goes to work after I'm used to her not working. I like my days better when she is not working. So today it's just me, Lucie, and Callie hangnin out. I have several chores to take care of today and I feel like I lost a good friend for a year. My wonderful friend Thanksgiving went home for the year. We get along so great and it's always a bummer when the visit is over. But there is nothing I can do but wait for next year. Thanksgiving should be coming back in November of next year. Until then....

I really like the area we live in but we had no idea that downtown Los Angeles was so nasty. It is just now being cleaned up and new restaurants and bars are opening. We went to a Mavs-Lakers game on Friday at the Staples Center and then a Baylor-Wake Forest game on Sunday in Anaheim. 0-2. What the heck? I'm a jinxer.

Saturday was cool. We hung out on the Sunset Strip in Beverly Hills/Hollywood. I don't know where the line is. It was dark but I'm pretty sure we passed the Fresh Prince of Bell Air's house on the way. First load is done. Lemme do another and I'll get back with you. Laterz.

Can you say Tiznerky

It's turkey time so here we go
please don't drop my turkey on tha flo.
Thursday's the day when I get real happy
but don't come over here if yor hair is nappy.

It's Thanksgiving eve and I am fired up. My nurse is at work and doesn't have to go back until Monday. I think . We are going to see the Mavs play the lakers on Friday and I want to go catch a Baylor Basketball game on Saturday or Sunday in Anaheim. It's raining today for the first time since we have been here. It's a lovely rain that cozies my heart. Love me some rain. Has anyone seen the movie knocked up or Super Bad? The house that Seth Rogan lived in was filmed a couple of blocks from Kayla's hospital. The scene from Super Bad where they set the police car on fire was filmed down the street from our apartments in a college parking lot. Kinda neato. Check out the Turkey rap.
Oooooooooowweeeeeeeeeyy!! That was sweeeeet. I surprised myself with that one. I know I have skilz but I just grew as an artist. Where was I? I lost focus. I'm ready to go pick up my Nurse so we can plan the cooking for Thursday morning. My football game starts earlier here than in Texas so we must not have any delays.

Thanksgiving and Lucie...and other stuff...Yeah.....stuff


Yo blog readers. Thanksgiving is a couple of days away and I am glad. I love this holiday and Kayla doesn't work. Another good thing about travel nursing is that she gets to sit down with her clinical supervisor and make her schedule instead of it being made for her. Somehow she doesn't have to work T Giving or Christmas. She has to work New Years but that's ok. We can't be greedy. Last year we had a freakin 24 lb turkey that Medical City gave her. It was massive and barely fit in out oven. I'd love to be at home home this year for the holidays but our temporary home will do just fine this year. This travelin thang aint to shabby. As much exploring as we still have to do in L.A. I almost can't wait to continue on to our next destination.

I mention Lucie because she is extremely hateful to our new puppy. We don't live in a cartoon where cats and dog's truly hate one another. This is supposed to be happy real people life. I can only continue to hope that they will become pals someday and play like we want them to play.

You know I have been rude to my guitar since we moved. I have only played it once and that is unacceptable. I need to write some more songs and I would like to find a small open mic event to play. I'm just looking for something small. YouknowwhatI'msayin? Holy cow did I mention anywhere that Callie the puppy has been awesome 4 days in a row now. No accidents on the carpet. She takes her tiny self right over yonder to her potty pad and does the doo. She knocks out both #1 and #2. Hope that wasn't too much.

Aight then. Holla at chew later.
