JBiden - Rants on a dummy

Yikes. So do you know who Joe Biden reminds me of? Dick Martin. It's funny, they don't really look alike but if you ever hear JBid talk its just the same. "uhhh duh, that's funny". If you are too young, than sorry. They do have the same bald head with a comb over.
Couple of things that kill me about this guy
1) He says that if you make $250K that you will get NEW higher (40%+) taxes and if you complain than you aren't being patriotic. He then said that if others would give to charities this wouldn't be needed. HOWEVER He made $2.5 MILLION in the last 3 years but gave only about $4,000! Can you belive it? Thats < 1%.
2) Saying how much he admires Hillary Clinton and how she probably would have been a better choice than HIM for the VP. Duh Joe, you are crazy, she would have been better.

There are about 300 more but those two just made me crazy. He's not too smart. He's like the dumbest guy ever. I have no idea how he's gotten to where he is.

Gov Palin - I told you

In case you missed my previous blog about Gov Palin (whom I love), she does indeed look like Tina Fey. In fact her eye glasses have caused a rush by women here in the phoenix area to buy them in so much that the Arizona Republic even did a story on it. I think that the eye glasses are what reminded me so much of Tina Fey. I found it funny yesterday morning that I saw on Yahoo! that Saturday night live had thought of it too. Check out this video of their opening this past saturday. (click here)

What a Weekend!

Well it was a fantastic weekend. We enjoyed everything about it. At least I did. I finished up my job on Friday at Honeywell ERP and spent friday afternoon moving into my new desk area. I met Stacy and Anny for Dinner at a new place called "Cafe Lagoona" I think. It's a fry bred place. You can get a nice dinner and desert there with fry bred as the main ingreadiant. It was good. We split a vegitarian and a apple (desert). It was nice. Also we found out that the owner is a guy we didn't know very well from our ward. (Nick Lara?). After that we went home and g0t ready for Saturday's activities (football football football). Saturday Drew and Skylar's teams both won. Drew's Hornets beat the Sioux 20-18, Drew did great. You can read the summary of this game at http://www.gotsting.com/. Sky's Longhorns beat the Generals 20 - 0. Sky's a star on his team. He played both offense and defense. Katy and Tawny and even Anny dressed up in their blue and gold for the games. They looked so cute and it was fun to sit and watch Skylar's game with them.

Sunday just topped it off. My parents, newphew, brother and sister-in-law all showed up at our house late Saturday night. They were there for Anny's baby blessing and Drew's priesthood confirmation. We woke up Sunday morning and enjoyed time with them. Sky lost his Mohawk and Drew got a fresh cut as well, thanks Vance! We made it to church early along with the Gilespie and Snow families who also had baby blessings. It seemed that between those three families the whole chapel was full by 2o minutes before church started. The blessing was nice. We then left and went home with 60+ family and friends and visited ate some mexican food and generally layed around. About 3:30 Bishop Topol came over and we were able to confirm Drew the Newest Aaronic Priesthood holder. Later that night Marly and Vance escorted Drew to his first youth fireside.

It was a wonderful weekend. Thanks to Stacy and others the meals were great! We were so glad to see everyone. I love the visiting the jokes. I especially liked to meat John, Boofer's new boyfriend (new to me anyway). I am happy to get to see the Tucson and Utah family that we don't see as often as we'd like.

Here is phone pic of my new office. Nicer compared to my old one huh?

last day

Today is my last day with Honeywell Aerospace ERP Team. I'm so happy to get a new start. It's been a nice 2.5 + years here but I'm ready to move on. I enjoyed some of it but it's been the most stressful job I've ever had. I've learned a lot. One thing I learned is I don't ever want to be on the Honewell Aerospace ERP Team ever again. I had a crummy desk, crummy area in a smelling building with no windows. It smells like a mixture of BO and oil. I'm 48 miles (one way) from home and usually very tired. I rode the Vanpool here so while it did save me gasoline $$ it killed my days. I'd leave at 6:00 am from my house and not get to work untill 7:30 Then I'd leave at 4:00 pm and not be home until 5:30. 11 1/2 hour days are tough when you are used to only be gone about 9. Here is a picture of my work area. IT'S TERRIBLE. I'ts like an old 1950 wood desk with sharp corners in the middle of a room with a fakey cube wall. Me and 4 other people in a "bullpen" type area. Very loud and uncomfortable.

So i start my new Job on Monday at Honeywell Corporate Finance IT. It is a project manager's job. I'll be closer to home and have better work hours. I'll be leaving really early in the morning but will be home earlier in the afternoon. So it will be like 6-3 or so. Also there is a gym much closer and more places to go. It's in Tempe instead of Phoenix so while it is only about 12 miles closer to home it is about 30 minutes closer (maybe more since I'll go in earlier). I'll post a picture of my new work area if I can. Overall today is great day! Also Hornets Football starts tomorrow Game Time 8:00 am! Next week check out www.gotsting.com for a full update of the game.

Drew's Birthday!

Yesterday was Drew's birthday! I enjoyed myself because for his birthday I got a 1/2 day off of work. After I was done working I took Skylar to the barber for a hair cut and this is how he turned out! Save this picture because his mom Says he's not going to church this way.

He looks great. He's still a good lookin' kid.

Later Drew and I and his buddies Armando, Brian and Zane went to Amazing Jakes. it was fun for them but I was pretty bored and let's just say... Don't go to Amazing Jakes if you are on a diet. I ate a lot! Anyway here are some pictures

Armando, Drew, Brian and Zane finishing up the go carts. they were later kicked off of them because Zane can't drive (JK).

Brian made it to the top. Armando on the right is still trying!
