Michael Artman

Michael getting 4x in blitz and not making 100k ... more than once ... just not going your way ... sigh.

Michael today's run ... 1 hour 25 minutes ... 7 miles ... 4.9 mph avg. outdoors. feel okay so far ... just tired.

Michael so friday night we went to get ice cream, then target. as we were going from A to B, Trav was running down the sidewalk. He tripped either his own feet or a large post. As he hit the ground, I tried (poorly) to hide my laughing until I knew he was okay and wasn't going to be upset by the incident.

Michael baked many cookies today. oatmeal butterscotch (one of my favs) and white chocolate chip chocolate cookies. mmmmmm.

Michael boys played their 2nd game tonight. better. josh didn't just sit under the basket and wait for it to hit him in the head. they moved more quickly and almost knew where they needed to be.

Michael broke down and took sudafed ...

"If it was, Santana and I would be dating." - stunned, silent pause.

Michael sean's not so much with the sleepin' tonight. lots of screaming ... sigh. i remember days when he used to sleep through the night. that was a long time ago.

Michael so sean has taken to hip hop. he found my alarm clock, figured out how to turn it on, and has dialed it to Hot 103.5. we tried changing the station. he changed it back. and he dances and laughs and smiles.

Michael walkin' pooch ... very light clouds rolled over moon and created this very cool halo rainbow around the moon. it was very neat. wished my camera could have captured it.

Michael ultimately turned into a busy week at the office as i ended up working until almost 8 last night ... system really not agreeing with me and jessica. more monday.

Michael good times with boys at basketball practice ... i mean, after josh punched a kid in the first few minutes. after that, they did well. josh even made a shot in the middle of the defense, while travis handled dribbling up the court ...

Michael happy t-day everyone! eat turkey, watch football, take a nap. if you can do all three at once, go for it.

Michael march 26 ... clash of the titans remake ... totally into the idea of this remake. original was fun, but a higher quality rendition will be awesome.

Michael found boss after lunch. good first day on the actual job. while i didn't have a desk or my own computer yet, i felt like i contributed by working with the rest of the team.

Michael got my computer hooked up and on the internet ... hooray me.

Michael getting ready for first day on the job ... paperwork already!

Michael i just might have to pick up "feel the steel" by steel panther. heavy metal done right. hilarious.

Michael packin' ...

Michael last day.

Michael last real full day at work today. tomorrow is kind of a wash ... just hanging out and saying good bye to people.

Michael i love giving good news at the office ... got to call someone and make then an offer for a job and he sounded thrilled. and after he accepts formally, i get to tell the team and they'll be thrilled!

Michael with having taken out the garbage and painting that last corner in the bathroom tonight, i wrap up all work i'm going to get done on the oak lawn house. i surrendered my key and garage door opener to the realtor. next time i see that place, we'll be closing on the house and i'll be trying to get the last few things out of there (lawn...

Michael bulls win! good start to the circus road trip.

Michael over 20 minutes to get my laptop to a usable state today ... fooey.

Michael just finished cleaning out the car ... that helps.

Michael can i really be outside for a couple hours around 3am tomorrow morning and still be able to drive to work at 7?

"Let this serve as a warning to us all. Iceland has universal health care and now they have no more McDonald’s."

Michael contemplating getting outside in the wee hours of the morning to see if i can't catch the leonid meteor shower ... if the skies will be clear anyway ...

Michael wondering if it's time to rejoin fanstory.com ...
