Well today was a hard day - I got up early oh around 9-ish - then made had some breakfast - then well took a nap then ummm oh yeah watched Playoffs in my comfy pants -- Then we got ready for church group then we watched some Muppets WOW tough day LOL -- I chilled with some of my favorite candies - Some Swedish Fish and Hot Cinnamon Jelly Bellys :)))

 

Day 212 chillen with the Muppet's

Today is the last day of vacation - That means the real world and all the stress and problems come flooding back in tomorrow - sigh - but today I decided to hold that door closed for one more day - In the AM I helped my 10 yr old girl dig down to her floor in her bedroom to clean it up - then we had some lunch and headed off with the kids to the $5 matinee at the movies - We watched the Muppet's I love these silly liittle things they make me laugh and that is according to the movie the 3rd best thing in the world right behind babies and Ice cream :) --  The movie started VERRRRRRRYYYY SLOOOOOWWWW I was like OH NO the screwed up the Muppet's but then about 15mins in they started to be the good fun laugh inducing Muppet's that we all love!!! We came home and my 14yr son grabbed his Muppet DVD set and we watched another 2 hrs of fun!! Well after chillen for days it is time to rejoin the rest of the rats and chase the cheese again --- As Fozzy would say - I just can't Bear it - waka waka :)))

Day 203 - chillen On Christmas Eve

Simple today had ---- NFL + Family + Food + good health = 100% awesome time to chill -!!!!!

Day 200 - Chillen and Caring

Well on day 200 of this chillen journey my son passed his flu to my wife and I have been caring and helping her all evening as she moves from bed to bathroom :( - it is rainy and 48 degrees in Mi on Dec. 21  - THIS is wrong as well -- sooo over all day 200 for me has been chillen in or around bed all day in the AM because I have not felt 100% and this evening caring for my wife -- so not a top ten day but as I have said before this is just another GOOD day to be here and cancer free!!  -- take care until 201 ---

Day 198 - Chillen & Bragging on my BD Boy

I have a 14 yr old SON!!!!! yep that is what I have so here is what I think -- He has made honor roll three time in a row in middle school - He plays trombone in the band and in the Jazz band - He was an awesome linebacker on his 6-0 football team - HE has never been in trouble at school and only minor growing up issues at home - He is my hunting, fishing, and golfing buddy!!! SO I have a 14 yr old son and LET ME TELL YOU I THINK HE IS AWESOME!!! -- Yep I am proud of him!

Day 194 - Chillen with Charlie Brown

Well today was a good day nothing bad happened to me, my family or my car SO it was a good day - tonight we had pizza with the in-laws and then we played a board game and watched A Charlie Brown Christmas - Charlie Brown is the most twisted show ever mean, aggressive, and the main character is low-self esteem and bulled by a girl -- but I love it because it fits the world I work in and in the end they are all friends of sorts PLUS the have the best meaning of Christmas explanation (in my opinion) -- :)

Day 193 - Chillen and Kipper Kitty

Nothing to really say today -- I worked and got home and worked and ate and then off to my sons winter band concert :) --- I am so very happy to here and healthy to see his growing up :)

I got home and Kipper kitty fell at my feet - I am not sure what is wrong with this cat but it just stops and tips over sideways and falls -- it is rather funny to watch but what is even funnier is the fact that one of the little cats have been doing the same thing - I wonder is flopper is cat type---

Day 190 - Chillen with Dianna clause

Today we lazed around in the morning then went out and did some last minute Christmas shopping -- then home to watch some football -- I should have doen a lot of things but I did not -- I needed to chill today - sometime during the afternoon my daughter found a Santa suite in the basement and came up looking all Santified --- LOL -- I knew it was the chillen pic of the day!!!



Day 189 - Chillen in Fankenmuth

Well we made a HUGE goof up today -- NEVER NEVER EVER go to Fankenmuth Mi on a Saturday in the month of December - there are something like 100,000 people in this little tourist trap town... Plus to top that off we went to Bronners Christmas Store - This is a fun and very cool place!!! We started two years ago with a new family tradition of going there and each buying a new ornament for out tree - after I went through cancer surgery and had started treatment - This is the third Christmas since life changed -- still cancer free and still VERY thankful to God for that - I hope I can add 40 more ornaments to our family tree :) ---

Anyway - I have never been in a store or anyplace like this one today - you had to move around in the store like cars on the highway you had to merge and put hands out to get in the flow of people - and let others take turns walking into line - I had to get across the store to get the var and I thought I was in a human moving maze -- NUTS ---

Well here is my chillen pic (though I did get a tad stressed in this chillen day lol)  near the locally famous fried chicken place Zehnders - I have never had the chicken there cost to much for us right now but I hear it is yummy - Glad to be home really chillen now!! -

Day 188 - Chillen @ Jazz Lounge

Well today my office out on a holiday/Christmas party and it went very well -- but after it was done it was nice to come home pick up my wife and go out to the Winery - it is a local wine/micro-brewery lounge - It has live music on Saturday night and you can get 4 wine sampler and sampler of their micro-brews I prefer ales and stouts - they have very good spinach cheesy dip  -- tonight they had a jazz singer and she was not bad -- so here I am really chillen and sooo needed after a loooonnnnggg week :)

Day 185 - Chillen with shipping

Well I started today at 6:30 left home at 7:15am got home at 8pm --- so today was a long day -- I never knew that being a therapist would require 13 hr days --- but here I am working them - I am not complaining in an age where many do not have Jobs I am thankful but a tad tired -- :) -- When I got home I watched a tv show on Netflix with the kids then to the basement to work my second money stream (sounds so much better then second job LOL) that of Ebayer is not that hard but it takes work - so here I am chillen with boxes heading all across the country and even across the northern boarder -- I do like to see where things go!

Day 184 - chillen and CPR

Well today I got to sit in a full day of CPR and First Aid training - I have been through this many times before so this was like the 10th time so there was not much new to me - I mean you can only breath and compress dummy so many times before you remember how to do it - so I got to chill during the testing -- So if any of you have an issue I can breath and compress and bandage you up until TRAINED help arrives..

Day 180 - chillen in sound

Today I hit the ground running and did not stop until I was helping sit up the sound for our Sunday morning service that the little church is putting on this week -- I was sitting there listening to the group sing and practice and realized that i was not really paying attention to the system and was just chillen -- so here it is my chillen pic for today!

Day 179 - Chillen and snow Blow

Well today I got to test me snow blower after replacing the belt - and It worked! Ok I have to to be honest I had no idea how to install the belt I mean I got the basic concept and got it on in part but it just did not look right - so I go next door get my neighbor who is a construction guy so I figure he will know but we were looking at it and both adults were stumped - Thank God for teenagers -- his son says dad I think it goes like this and this - and sure enough it worked! This is good thing because it snowed this week and I got to use it so here is my chillen post Snow blow :)

Day 178 - Chillen with an Angel

Tonight I have been working for hours on listing stuff on EBAY  (if you need stuff follow link LOL) so I was sitting at the desk feet propped up chillen and looked down and saw the little angel looking at me over my feet and of course I had to add it to my chillen collection :) SO here is our little glass angel to help remind you that Chillen is next to Godliness (well maybe next good thing to do!!! )

Day 176 - Chillen & Non-Naked Tree

Ok well lets make this one simple - Last night I posted my naked tree and it has tied for the all time most viewed chillen pic I have done so far!! I don't know if it was the word naked or what that triggered the views but I thought I had better follow up with the dressed tree  LOL -- Stay chilled you all --

Day 175 - Chillen and x-mass Lights

Today I am chillen with the First night of the lighting of the 2011 Russell light decorations...  Well we have a few more things to put up but this is a 95% of the stuff - LOL crappy picture but again it is just a reminder to always take time to relax and enjoy the DAY!!!

Day 174 - Chillen & a Naked Tree

Well Thanksgiving is done and NOW the Christmas season is under way- I do not have a problem with the fun stuff like decorations, and snow - BUT I HATE HATE TOTALLY LOATH the commercialism of the season - None the less -  My wife anf daughter put up tree tonight with no decorations so she could train the cats not to climb it first - All is going good but I still say once the sparkly and dangle things get on the tree the cats will attack - lol --

day 171 - chillen @ Parent teacher confrence

Today was nothing short of an odd day - things went well overly smooth. I suppose life has been mostly up hill fights and challenges over my life so when things go "right" and multiple things do that on the same day I tend to be a tad nervous -  I am not quite paranoid but I would say maybe not that far from it LOL -- ANYHOW- I went to my daughters 5th grade PTC and it was an over all good report! I have to brag a second on my kids - I have been blessed with intelligent and very well behaved kids - so going to PTC's are not dreadful things :) so here I am waiting in tiny little chairs for my turn to see the teacher- reminds me of waiting to see the principal in high school (but that is only what I have heard ;) ----
