Air Travel

This is a video that Jacque sent to me through email. The video shows the air travel of the entire world for 24 hours. It has been compressed into 1 minute, so you dont have to take a day of vacation to watch the video. I thought that it was interesting, hope you enjoy.

Lancelot Encore

This was a story that I was very surprised to see. I really didn't think that this kind of stuff was going on with a public price tag. This couple some how won a CLONE AUCTION. So $155,000 later they get a double of their (dead) dog.

Food in the freezer!

This weekend I made my second Bow kill this year. I was fortunate enough to go to Rusty's place and do some bow hunting. Due to the wonderful weather I got to see some awesome sights. In the morning I saw 8 bucks all walk out at the same time. It was really cool, something that I have never seen before. At least 5 of them were within bow range, but none of them were "shooter" bucks. They get to live longer because of their good genetics.

I have to give a huge thanks to Douglas, who helped me find the deer after running for a very long distance. I would guess at least 1/2 mile. Thanks to the 2 bladed Rage broad head there was a nice blood trail to guide our way.

Thanks Rusty and Douglas!

Still Difficult

Last night was a GREAT food night. Caroline cooked for all of us and it was some kind of wonderful! I absolutely loved it. I will most likely make her come to my house and show me how to cook it. Yum Yum...

Well Grandma came and she made a BLACKBERRY COBBLER!!! So of course since it is still January I was not allowed the sweets! I was so not happy about that. But, as Justin reminded me, I came this far. So I am going to finish strong with one more week of no sweets.

I do not think that not eating sweets has made any difference in my weight. I think that I just eat more of the real food instead of the sweets. Oh well, at least I know that I can give it up if I need to.

Difficult

As you all know, I have my restrictions right now. Well, I still have half a roll of cookie dough in the refrigerator. That is killing me. I tried to tell myself that if I waited until February that it would go bad. There are starving people all around the world and I am not eating it. Shame one me...but I still resisted. Then I found some candy canes in the cabinet. Grrr...its so hard. Not to mention all the candy and cokes at work.

2008 College Football/National Championship

It wasn't as crazy of a year as last year's season, but it still had a lot of entertaining moments. Poor LSU wasn't able to hang on for a great season. but they sure did look good in the bowl game. Only time will tell how next year plays out. I sure did like the way Jefferson played! Shows some promise for a good quarterback next season. Although, I hear that LSU has recruited another great high school prospect.

I wont say this much, but GO GATORS! What a game last night! I got a little worried when I saw how well OU was moving the ball. I think there is something about the red zone that really pumps up UF. They man handled OU on that 4th down. And they came up with some great interceptions to keep OU from scoring. It seemed like it was tough enough for Florida. This wasn't there normal dominating kind of play. Fortunately they never get tired. Obviously OU's D couldn't handle an entire game with the SEC players!

Gotta love the "unsportsmanlike conduct" called on Tim Tebow. I think that Gator Chomp on the other OU guy was totally worth it! Being the good man that Tebow is, I would assume that the OU player wasn't being nice to him and that was the only response that he could think of doing.

How did you bring in the New Year?

I am sure that most of you know by now, but I will post it anyway. Sean had some pictures on his blog, but he didn't want to show anything too graphic. Lucky for me, I have a disclosure at the top of my blog.

If you don't know what happened: Long story short...Popping fireworks at Sean's parents house. I drank a Jones soda (in a glass bottle). Sean used it to shoot bottle rockets, I used it to shoot bottle rockets. Car ran over the bottle, it broke into pieces. Last fireworks of the night, five sparklers, approximately 1:00 a.m. I lite two sparklers, I raise my hands and start running like a kid. Glass crunches under my foot (wearing crocs). I go to hospital and get 6 stitches.

Thanks to Tim we had a first aid kit in the house. Tim did a fine job getting me cleaned up and prepared for the doctor.

Ironic quote of the night: I really did ask this question to Tim around 10:30 p.m. (before the accident ever took place) while discussing his nursing school. "Hey Tim, do you think that you could give me stitches if you wanted to?"

Do not look at pictures if you cant handle the blood!

It has been a while

Well, what a busy holiday schedule. It has kept me from so much over the past couple of weeks.

Thanks for the 4 people who supported me in my restrictions for the next couple of months. As for the 2 people who dont think that I can do it, I appriciate the motivation. So far, so good.
