Where do I start... The last couple of weeks have been a different kind of hell for me. Nothing really stressful, which is a GREAT thing, just extrememly busy. I actually at one point last week stopped and thought back to college where I would go from place to place and work on project to project stressing out over getting things done. Now, I'm realizing that instead of stressing out about getting things done, I'm just moving around twice as much. It's almost robotic unfortunately. Wake up. Head to work. Leave work to goto second job. Head over to parents house to work on third job. Come home and sleep. Wake up, etc... I'm not stressed at all but time is flying because I'm doing so much. What's worrying me is what am I going to do when Alex gets here??? :\ kiev apartments

Workplace. I've taken on a ton of new resonsibilities. Which is a good thing. It kind of guarantees that I'll be keeping my job, instead of being laid off for outsourcing... I can't talk about anything for risk of what could happen, but all I know is that I'm starting to feel like a pet. One that is acknowledged with a treat for doing something good, but reprimanded for responding to situations that I think I should be. IE: A dog who is given a treat, but yelled at for giving paw while receiving the treat. There are days where I wonder why I am still here and days where I wouldn't want to work anywhere else. It's just difficult to work sometimes. But I can't say anymore...

Gaming. Final Fantasy Online is gone. I needed one group activity and an anrgy wife to make me quit. Almost three weeks ago now, at 8AM on Saturday morning, I let Totem sleep in while I went upstairs to play. I came back down at 3PM after I accomplished absolutely NOTHING. First of all, I didn't eat. I didn't even take a shower... :( Yeah, the addiction that I've been warned about is showing itself. But what bothers me more is that for 6 of the 7 hours I played, all I was doing was trying to get other people to go on a quest with other players that I had joined up with. When we finally had the 20 people we needed to go on this quest, we ran there, enterred the mine where the objective was... And got slaughtered in 3 minutes. 6 hours for 3 minutes. Yeah, I was let down BIG TIME and never logged in again. Now before anyone goes off and just calls me a stupid n00b, this quest had a level cap and we had a bunch of level 70+ members in our squad. All knew what was going to happen and knew how to play the game, but because of the level cap (IE: everyone's rank who was above 20 got dropped to 20), everyone just didn't survive... Well... at all. Plus, I really didn't believe at first that I played for 7 hours before even saying good morning to my wife. Bye Bye Final Fantasy Online.

Enter Dungeon Lords. Not much of a switch unfortunately... Its not a massmog but it should have never been released to the public. IMHO it should still be in beta. Many of the ingame features that are talked about in the manual are not finished in the game. And the bad thing is that some of these features are missing from the character creation screen so right off the bat a bad first impression is set in (I felt really bad about buying this when I found out this "feature" wasn't a bug, and then it was intentionally left out and covered up by a game patch). I haven't gotten too far in the game, but normally when I get home and don't really have an urge to get on the computer and play it, for me, thats a bad sign...

Third Jobs. A lot of the webmaster jobs I am picking up are starting to pan out. Most are almost to completion and I have more clients coming in. Totem is really happy b/c she didn't believe me when I said we would be OK financially when she was not at work.

Another hobby. The model planes took off... And crashed... And burned. ;) Too much weight and too much speed does not bode well for styrofoam. So, I'm down one plane that is waiting to be flight tested. I think it's gonna be fun because Totem and I had a hell of a time killing my first plane. =)

Molly. She's growing up. Check out the pictures below. What I can't wait for is for her to realize Totem is pregnant. Shelby, my parent's dog, already knows. Every time we go over to my parents house, she get all protective and "snuggly" with Totem, sitting by her and keeping close at all times. ;) She did that to my aunt a couple of years ago when she was pregnant at a Christmas party. The odd, but good, thing is that she got protective of the baby too... She wouldn't let anyone but my aunt get close to my nephew. It was actually kind of neat to watch. Motherly instinct and all...

Alex. He's now around the 5lb mark according to the sonograms. Totem and I had our first birthing class yesterday evening. What kind of scared us was the fact that by the third of the five weeks of class, we'll be 37 weeks pregnant. Meaning, we might not have to go to the second last or the last class if Alex gets anxious. Totem is more beautiful than ever and it such an awesome feeling to have Alex not just kick back, but push. Miracles are amazing...

School. I got accepted into Graduate Management School so I am now an offical member of the Professional Masters of Business Administration Program, graduating class of 2008. I never thought I'd want to go back to school, but I really think I'm going to have to if I want to give the life I want to my wife and kid(s). Hopefully it should be a fun three years...

And thats it... Stuff after stuff after stuff. People are already warning me about not being able to do anything once my baby is born. Bring it on. =)
