Wanchancy July 26th

Today is a good day. It's so hot in Seattle that Lauren and I went to Fred Meyer to buy a kiddie pool so that she could lay in our back yard and read John Grisham. It's a pool that I particularly like a lot. For one it's not just a pool, but a slide shaped like a cartoon whale. For myself I have digressed to wearing a wife beater and drinking a hydrating beer while I try my hand at blogging for the first time. We are preparing for our baby shower which is this weekend, and getting very excited. I think we are about just as exited that there will be no "baby shower games," or the like. Only the best grilled meats and cold tasty beers at our baby shower.

Lauren is doing very well. She is continuing to work through the end of her pregnancy and has recently been showered with praise by her supervisors for her excellent work as an information specialist. Working for the National Cancer Institute has been challenging for her, but she has excelled, and I am very proud of her.

For fear that my employers might find my blog and follow up on me, let's say my current job is...uncompromising. I have switched from one of the lowest volume Parker Paint stores in the north region, to one of the highest. I am tired, and hope that one day in the future I will again have the ability to eat lunch.

That is all for now, I must defend my beautiful damsel from a bee who has mistaken her poka dot bathing suit for a flower. Her John Grisham book will not avail her as she strikes at the bee with it from her spot in the kiddie pool. The battle never ends.
