Fostoria

I find myself in Fostoria, OH tonight in a Best Western. I’m on my way up to Marblehead, OH to work tomorrow. Not much going in here in Fostoria. It’s a pleasant little town with lots of trains, but that’s about it. I ordered myself some pizza after checking out a local lake. It’s definitely time for a new gig. 

Excited to have a new niece. Can’t imagine having 3 small kids to take care of though as my sister and Ryan now do.

I’ve never had a time in my life where i’ve felt like i could go in so many different ways career wise. I guess that’s a good thing that I have a lot of options because of my interests. But it’s also making each day a mental grind because that’s all i think about. Oh well, hopefully for good reason.

make up your mind

The Poison Ivy is still around. I think the main spreading is gone, but the itching is still there. Annoying.

I’m excited to be awaiting the arrival of my new niece Abby in a matter of days hopefully. It will be my first time getting to experience something like this, as I was living in Arizona when the twins were born. Hopefully it lives up to my expectations….not even sure what “it” really is that i’m expecting.

I feel like i have so many interests right now, that i just don’t know which direction to go. Each day it seems like i change my mind on what i want to do. Tonight, i’ve been lying in bed unable to sleep, conjuring up an idea to do golf course photography and websites. That in itself would fulfill a few directions I’m always considering. Just need to do it.

I’m so tired, yet i can’t fall asleep. It’s too hot in here. 

Shoot me now

I seriously hate poison ivy. I realized tuesday that i had it an every hour since it has gotten worse. It’s difficult to sleep at night without wanting to scratch all the itchiness. It’s amazing how easily it spreads. Shoot me now. However, when you take a shower, when the warm water hits the rash it feels amazing. That’s the only good thing to come of having poison ivy.

So when i’m traveling for work, i usually have a lot of free time earlier in the day because i work more afternoons and evenings. So i end up having to check out of my hotel by 11am, with nothing to do until work. I’m stuck in these small towns, and have no clue where to go. So it seems I always end up at a Wal-Mart. I must of spent several hours there over the past few weeks, walking each aisle just to waste time. Kinda sad. But i always make my way to the cd section and end up buying a new cd. Today i bought the new cd by the Zac Brown Band titled “foundation”. It kept me company on my drive home tonight, and I absolutely loved it. It has a mix of the new country sound tied in with some of the old country sound. So that was good.

Did I mention i hate poison ivy. I’m praying it doesn’t spread to my face, but i think it might be too late. 

I arrived home to my brothers house tonight and since i’ve been gone he has redone the main bathroom, and he has a guy building a deck that is almost finished. So that’s pretty awesome, both were definitely needed and will probably add a lot of value to the house. The kitchen has also been repainted this week. It’s amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do to a room, especially when it was an ugly yellow before.

I wrote an article for “She Magazine” which was published this week. So that was pretty cool. Below is the link. The article is at the end of the magazine.

just an earth bound misfit

I just have to mention Penelope Cruz in my blog and i get tons of people viewing it. Amazing how that works. 

I am looking forward to this weekend. My buddy Case is coming in town, so i get to show in the sites of Columbus. Shouldn’t take more than a few minutes, unless we do it via bicycle, which could take a little longer. Hopefully we figure out something fun to do, maybe golf or tennis perhaps.

Speaking of tennis, it’s been interesting seeing my brother show an interest in sport of late. I’ve almost got him talked into going to the driving range, which would be the first time he hit a golf ball. Also, he’s taken an interest in tennis thanks to the encouragement of his girlfriend. It would be nice to have a golfing buddy, so i’m hoping this sporty trend continues. 

I never thought i would be unhappy about having so many days off work, but right now that’s how it feels. Mainly because that means no money. 

I’m amazed at how much bob the cat sleeps. I wonder if he actually is sleeping or just laying there with his eyes closed.

My younger sister brought to my attention that my older sister is due to have a baby in a few weeks, maybe even sooner. I guess i hadn’t really thought about it, but that’s kinda a big deal. No longer will the twins be the main attraction, and i actually might get to be there this time when it happens.
