unmitigated silly
When Viv and I get on iChat for a web cam call, it’s about 5 minutes of unmitigated silly. She made me go get my son’s drum machine toy from the play room so I could kick out some jams for her and she could get her proverbial groove on. I got my son’s wooden painted snake (he made during camp) out of his room and tried to convince her it was a real blue and yellow snake. She just giggled at me and told me, “Daddy you’re so sill-lah.”
I miss my pumpkin so much. I haven’t seen Bubs much, he’s up at my mother-law’s lake house getting some time in with his Nana before school starts next Monday. I need some time with the boy. Well, it’s not really time, but it’s the only kind of time I can have these days. Just as long as he knows his Daddy loves him.
I had a meeting with an author yesterday that needs a pretty basic site for the release of his new book. He’s not quite ready yet, but that will be a nice small project to cleanse my nerdy pallet. I’ve got a meeting with an old client this morning for a custom Active Directory import tool. I got a couple changes done for the Battleship New Jersey website and I got
EasyPopulate installed for the curtain rods OS Commerce website. I’m freaking exhausted this morning, I need to take a day off soon.
Speaking of exhausted…I’ve got two volleyball games tonight. My formerly dislocated shoulder is aching a bit after simply reaching for a ball on Tuesday night. I meant to ice it last night but got busy and forgot. I have to do that tonight or all the yoga and push-ups in the world won’t keep it attached.

You are a volleyball machine or something.

You’re the sill-lah-est person I know Furious.

Chris – I’m voting for something
Captain Corky – thank yah
Lorrie – happened last summer playing softball, diving into third, it sucked – I don’t recommend it whatsoever

I love the silliness between you & your daughter. You two are too cute!
August 9th, 2007 at 10:52 am
Silliness is a great medicine. Your little girl is SO freaking cute.

So, here is my advice, just keep ignoring that shoulder, it will just thrive on that, really, I’m almost sure of it.
Or maybe not, but ya know, do whatcha gotta do.
Being silly with one’s children… hardly anything better in the world.

It’s so cool that you can do webcam “calls.” It’s not the same as being together in person, but I’m sure it beats a normal phone call.
You deserve a day off, or better yet, a longer period of time than that. You should take some time for yourself.

Amanda – she’s the cute, I bring the silly
April – I know I feel better when I robot dance with her
logo – I get what you’re saying for sure, but I do have to be careful, there were some hardcore MRI arthiograms on it and I have some rotator cuff left, if I keep exercising it, I can avoid injury of the detached arm variety
apertome – I’d love time off, but alas I must feed the hemorrhaging bank account, it’s hungry and if it misses a meal, it gets very cranky

How can you have a handle like “FuriousBall” and then proceed to write, “about 5 minutes of unmitigated silly. She made me go get my son’s drum machine toy from the play room so I could kick out some jams for her and she could get her proverbial groove on.”
Fatherhood really looks good on some people. You sound happy. Congrats!

Lucy Dee – well the name actually came from a pregnancy website, “… your child at five weeks is a furious ball of dividing cells…” my son was the furious ball and he still is a whirlwind of activity. i adopted the name as my music project name and there you go…funny you should mention the term “handle” as I deliver all of my blog entries via CB radio from my big rig…no, but yes.

Yeah, man!
My 3-1/2 y.o. daughter LOVES to bring the silly. She finds newer and sillier ways to crack herself (and her parents) up.
Take care of that shoulder. Ice, ice, baby.

If nothing else, you’ve gotta keep up with the Silly.

Oh she made you did she? We all know you love it so don’t act like she had to twist your arm. You’d do anything for both of your kids in person or on iChat. =o)

Sometimes I hate ice. I totally understand putting it off. I tend to do it while I’m programming – killing two birds, as it were. Hope you’re feeling better.
Super cool you are using iChat like that.

Although, the ability to remove your shoulder could make for a cool party trick someday.
Take a break soon though…there is no need to burn out now!

Take care of yourself or the day you get off will be one where you’re sick!
