You know the drilll...

yeeeeahhhh boeeeyyyy,

after hours of nerve pounding demolition on the guest bathroom, i finally replaced the screwdriver I was using with a 6 pound sledgehammer I picked up at Ace Hardware.
the dust was choking, sweat burning my eyes and thumb throbbing from too many hapless swings of the hammer.

another 2 saturdays and i should have everything outta there, including the kitchen sink. what's that doing in the bathroom? - i dunno - but it's gone yo! and the steel bathtub is history.

Ursula imitating life imitating art...

Sinister Slang

i'm such a doofus. i hadn't noticed the "comments" button on the bottom of the blog page, and therefore didn't realize there was a response to my post. still new to this - - duh.

another ETA bombing in Madrid today. so i go to msnbc.com to look for more information on the old neighborhood only to find the headlining article "Sinister Slang". CNN had "Cher Condi"s mug plastered on the home page - mending fences they call it. i guess terrorists bombings are no longer headline news - unless it happens to us. Condi had some harsh words for Iran and the nuclear program. She warned Iran must live up to its international obligations to halt its nuclear program or the next steps are in the offing. "And I think everybody understands what the 'next steps' mean," . Yeah - it means bombing the bejesus out of them. Oh wait - that should be, bombing the be-allah out the them.

7 pixels wide, and counting...

>i bet it felt weird to see that, no?

Ricardo!

yes it was a trip seeing the the little squirt up close and personal at only 7 pixels across. we definitely want to know if it's a boy or girl. ursula's not one to wait and be surprised :)

am i scared? hell yeah! but i'm really going to let me instincts guide me on this one.
i've seen this done a thousand times! how hard could it be right? :) hahahahaha :( for example, ursula's first trimester and she has every symptom in the book, with the nausea (which luckily is going away now) and the bloating - ugh.

she's sooo uncomfortable now. fughetabout gettin' some. i feel so bad for her.

and also i think about million things i have to do to get our home, baby ready. not to mention he's gotta get his smallpox and his diptet. you gotta get that H.I.! and his orthodonture! :) see - i'm already referring to squirt as "he", what's that all about?

you gotta help me with names. you're not gonna believe, ursula likes Marisol (sea and sun) for a girl - she likes it a lot ;o i like "Zofia". boy names i dunno.

i'm halfway (the easy half) through the guest bathroom remodel. that's keeping me busy. and i fixed up my bike. can't wait to take it out on saturday.

so this is my first ever blog post. it's weird because i don't know when to stop writing. do i write in dialogue? write like it's a letter? ramblings? i dunno - we'll see.

shoot me some news from the home of the acid cowboy.
aloha and hugz all around. - bruceness

Squirt!
