Time, Teeth and more Pregnancy News

My how time flies.
Nearly a month without an update!! What will my reading public have to say about this?
Nothing as usual.....
I should probably figure out if anyone has even ever found this crummy sorry half assed excuse for a blog. There has got to be a stat tracker of some sort I could find, but that would start to feel like work, and I don't want to go there.

So what is new?

My wife is still pregnant, but more so now. What is hard is not yet being “allowed” to tell anyone. I can tell some of my friends but not others. She can tell people she is pregnant but I can’t. It isn’t really fair, but then again I’m not going to rock the boat. I just don’t want people to get pissed off because I told ‘so and so’ two weeks ago, but I have yet to tell some-else-or-another. I also find I can’t tell people she is pregnant when she isn’t there t tell them first. That may not sound like a big deal but when you factor in the fact she feels like crap all the time and doesn’t go out to see people, you realize the chances to telling people become very small. For example I wanted to tell my Dentist today. He’s not just your every day Dentist. He’s the kind of guy that changes his plans so her can fly out and join me and my buddies in Vegas for a weekend of very bad things and some music too (www.vegoose.com.) He was a blast to have along to see the Brothers and Petty at Camden this summer. I have known the guy my whole life. Seriously. He’s a friend. I like him. I trust him. He’s a kid dentist and still sees me now I am 32. He was at my wedding. He worked on my teeth when I was 5. Can I tell him my wife is pregnant NOOOOOO!!!! Isn’t that a bit weird? Meanwhile my wife can tell anyone she wants, like the checker at the supper market? Fair huh?

Eureka!

My Google trick worked. That was fast too! Amazing to think all you have to do it type a word on a blog no one even know exists and one week later you can Google on it. Neato.

I should type obscure words like “Pinfold” next. “Pinfold” is the name of a band I was loosely associated with in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. Pinfold was a great band. More talent and creativity than most. Bad management and lack of ambition (read laziness) by some in the group kept them from going anywhere (aside from Key West a couple of times.) More on them later on….. I just really want to type Pinfold a bunch of times to see if will come up in a Google search. I’m just amused by the MerriweatherRaven Googleing.


Today I’m tired and am enjoying being lazy and breaking in my latest laptop. Being an IT guy you get a new machine every year. It’s nice and all, but after a while building another computer just feels like work.

My wife is having second thoughts and not going on a trip with me to Vegas in October to the Vegoose Music Festival. Some lame crap about being pregnant and all……. It will be her last chance to ever go to Vegas without being a Mom. “Here come the Fucking Sacrifices….. Jeezzzz….. Mommy Likes to Gamble……..”
Being the glass is half full guy I am, I figure I’m in a win – win. If she goes that is best. We undoubtedly will have a blast. If she bales, then me and my boys can go to the Rhino & Crazy Horse Too…….. and see some music and gamble a lot too…….

Since no one ever comes to my blog, I guess I can say anything I want. Right?
I mean, does it matter?
I can't even find this blog by Goggling for it. Maybe if I type "MerriweatherRaven" Goggle will find me, then maybe others? Am I reaching?

Maybe I should tell someone.... Anyone. I mean, I haven't even told my wife.

Reminds me of the time I was sending her E-mail with my Blackberry. I frequently send short 1 word answers from my Blackberry. It's a pain to be eloquent when your keyboard is the size of a DAT tape. Regardless she got all upset and said "Geez, it's like pulling teeth with you today, what's wrong?" She didn't realize I was not at a full sized keyboard and such. Kind of funny I think.
Maybe I should.....

Na, then people would expect me to update this space and that is like work.

The time is now

Why Not Right?

I mean everyone I know who has something to say has a blog -right?

Not really but one of my friends does. The Hayduke happens to be going to a Ravens Game with my wife but that's another story. Don't feel bad for poor old me typing to you now while they get their football fill. I'll see most of the regular season games. : ) I have tickets to 8 of 10. Only 2 games to get…….

I’m way to busy to update a blog with any frequency but from time to time I think it will be neat to have a space and place to have my say.

So welcome. Come back anytime! I may have something interesting to say, but probably not. I will likely bore you. I know….. a ringing endorsement and compelling reason to come back. Well see how this goes.

Blame the Hayduke

It's all his fault
