So it’s been about two or three weeks since we made the not-so-big move. We’re mostly unpacked, though my office is still in shambles because that’s the room with the most ’stuff’. Our place is pretty nice, though there’s a LOT of stairs. I’ve finally gotten that exercise that I’ve been putting off for the last 5 years. Hopefully I can get some pictures up soon, there’s a great view from our balcony window, maybe if there’s fresh snow tomorrow morning I’ll take a pic. Or maybe during sunrise, which is really pretty through the trees.
Initially when I started this blog I wanted to keep track of what was going on in my life, and lately I’ve only been putting in the major things, so I just want to list a couple of the little things, especially having to do with Ben since the guy is growing up way too fast!
I still have a job, and I am thankful for that. There’s been a lot of reorganization at X-Inc, and there were some tough decisions made. I’m glad I made the cut (or stayed under the radar) but I will honestly miss those that didn’t.
I love twitter. I’m the person who finds it interesting when other people post the most inane details about their lives. And although I might not tweet about every time I’m going to the bathroom, I will tell you when I’m having a delicious cup of pumpkin spice soy milk. Because I know you care.
Ben lives on a diet of Papa John’s cheese pizza, White Castle chicken rings, Edy’s chocolate ice cream and bacon. Once in a while we get some apples or a banana in there. Hey, just as long as he eats, I’m happy.
Ben is still not a fan of school. When I drop him off it’s like a man walking off to his execution. He’s walking, but he’s definitely in no hurry to get there.
Once I get this place unpacked, I swear I’m going to do some crafts. Seriously. My crafty finger has been itching for a while.
For a while there, Ben had a 180 average at Wii bowling. My dad had given him some coaching and the kid was awesome. But then my dad went to California for a month and the kid forgot everything. He’s really becoming a Wii addict. Currently he’s really into MarioKart, except for the courses in the castle because it’s scary.
Ben is starting to get really interested in reading. He can read simple words right now, but he’s still learning the rules. I don’t remember reading being so hard, but the English language is pretty tough. There’s so many exceptions! Like how the -gh in “light” is silent, but makes the i sound into the long i sound. Or the when you read the word “black” you don’t have to sound out the c AND the k.
I spend way too much time on Facebook playing games like farmville, cafe world and that zoo game.
“Glee” is awesome. Next year’s season seems so far away. At least “Lost” is coming back in January! Crossing my fingers that I’ll get Season 5 for xmas so I can have a marathon before the start of next season.
Hmm…I think that’s all for now. Hope you all have a good holiday, and I hope to post again before the end of the year!

Thanks for all these updates. That’s great that Ben is getting into reading. That should help him start to enjoy school a lot more. I’m really looking forward to the new season of Lost coming up too. I just hate waiting every week for a new episode.

It sounds like Ben is a little too spoiled. A kid that age needs more nutrients than what junk food provides. By letting him only eat what he wants, it sets up a situation where he feels he always deserves to get what he wants. Sometimes you have to show your authority to make him do what’s right.
@Laptop Briefcases, Its hard to deal with kids and their eating habits, but I do agree that he does need to eat less junk food. It will be hard though to train him off that food, but it is doable! Best of luck
Till then,

Yes I agree that it is probably quite difficult to control what a kid eats. Ultimately the parent should have control though. I know I ate very little junk food as a kid because my parents made a point of giving me mostly only healthy food.
Im glad the move went ok for you guys, one of these Days Ben will like School

Hello. From Turkey to the world of guitar courses we offer. Guitar course is suitable for everyone of charge.
If you come to Turkey, you can also teach.
Good day friends.
I think you need to do a better job of blocking all these spam comments. For example, ‘turkish food’, is it really necessary to say thanks for the article twice in a row? Why are you even thanking her for it?

Good info thanks for sharing.
I also have waiting very week for coming new episode. This is nice blog content.
his definitely looks like a nice little bit of work. I’ve used Wordpress, but I’m not much of a techie at all, so the basics are easy but after that there are certain parts that have frustrated me. Thans for sharing this, I’ll definitely be taking a look at it in more detail.
Oh By the way Happy New Year Yano! Lets hope 2010 will be our best year yet
That is nice blog content.

If these comments are a sign of the future of this blog, I’m afraid I won’t be coming back much longer. These spammers leaving their pointless comments are killing this blog.
Yea, LB, it’s a real shame.
Till then,

I’m currently with ServInt, though I used WiredTree for 2 or 3 years before that. I moved from them since I no longer needed the space or speed of a dedicated server. I’m pretty happy with ServInt though should I move, WiredTree will be the first site I will consider.
thanks for info good blog
