My Poor Blog
June 1, 2009
Oh my poor little blog. How I have neglected it lately! It’s not really by choice, but things have become hectic around here. It probably sounds old, but with work and the kids now doing something damn near every night, time for Mr Papa’s World has been limited. I have managed to do little “Quick Thoughts” blurbs in the sidebar, but that doesn’t really count. Those “Quick Thoughts” get cross posted on Facebook and Twitter and most folks respond to them there since there isn’t any kind of notification about a new post here at Mr Papa’s World.
Being June now, I hope to try to post more about the family happenings. We sure are busy enough to blog about something!
Oh, to get it started, Sean’s baseball team won their second game of the season last weekend. It goes along with their 15 or 16 losses unfortunately. It was a nail biter, as they entered the final inning up 13 – 6, but had to hang on for a final score of 13 – 12. We also received word that the team is going to fore go the playoff system this year and instead just play games. So, that means baseball games up until about the end of July. At two or three games a week, that makes for a hefty season. The heat is already high around here, so luckily, all games will be at night. The season should finish up just in time for football practice to begin for Sean.
This weekend, we have Savannah’s Summer Dance Recital. It’s a two night affair – though I think Sean has a game one night – with Savannah doing like a dozen dances. I really need to do a post about her continued baking work. Until then…
My Birthday
January 29, 2009
Well, tomorrow is my birthday. Turning the big 45. I probably shouldn’t mention it, but hey, you are only as old as you think you are.
Luckily, tomorrow is one of our off Fridays at work, so I get to stay home, relax and spend some quality time on the computer. Okay, so I am weird, but it will be fun. Well, actually, I will probably try to whip out the taxes tomorrow too.
Usually I have to cook my own birthday dinner too – well, at least if I want something really tasty. 
Well, not this year. Savannah is bound and determined to cook me and the rest of the family my birthday dinner. She spent a couple of hours in the kitchen tonight doing some prep work on the meal.
She even put together a whole menu for the dinner where everyone could select their courses. She wanted to do it like a restaurant and have everyone order at dinner time, but she’s not quite ready for that yet. So, we ordered tonight and she could prep.
She has appetizers, soup, salad, entree and dessert on the menu. This is pretty cool! She has really taken a liking to cooking and often assists me in the kitchen and I show her a thing or two. She says cooking is definitely in her future. This is shaping up as one of my favorite birthday presents!
So, who are you rooting for in the Super Bowl this year? Not sure I have decided yet, but my family is definitely on the Arizona Cardinal bandwagon. Living in AZ, its been real easy for them to suddenly become fans. Actually, there has been a lot of fair weather fans coming out of the woodwork around here lately. I can’t just start rooting for a team because they have a good season. At least no one can call me a fair weather fan – not being a die hard Lions fan! We’ll get em next season!
The Hawaii business trip is approaching and Suzanne sure is getting excited. She has been studying guide book after guide book. The whole family was in Hawaii back in 2005, but that was on a cruise. I was in Hawaii on business last October, but this will be Suzanne’s first time staying on one of the islands. The couple of days I will be working, she has mapped out an aggressive site seeing schedule. I think this will be our first vacation in many, many years as a couple. Happy Valentines Day!
