So I started to change my eating habits today. So no it's not a "diet" it's a change of life. I'm doing the nutri-system plan. The benefit of this system is it will help with portion contol while also helping with the quality of the food I'm eating. i.e. less junk, more substance. Each day I'm eating 1-2 salads, with a nice lunch or dinner, so that's good. Also eating fruits and yogurts. A little on the hungry side right now, but still have a snack waiting for me tonight.
I'll be posting updates from time to time so check back, wish me luck etc.
With changes at evo-dev, I found myself in the market to find a new job. I got a call from Overstock Travel during my search and interviewed for a position there. I was offered a job as their Internet Marketing Manager. With this job I'm responsible for working on their PPC for Yahoo and Google, SEO for their 80 sites, and many other things. I really enjoy going into work everyday. My manager is a great guy. I'm surrounded by many compotent people, with great attitudes that are very capable.
After two years my brother's come to visit from Texas. He went to Chicago first to visit my mom and sister then he flew out to Utah to visit my family. He has never seen my 20 month old, so I was excited for him to see here. One concern was that my oldest daughter woud be afraid of him.
He was always there for her when she was young, and when he use to come to our house in Texas he would pass everyone until he saw Gena. We would go out sometimes and he'd come over and stay at the house while we went out, after she went to bed. They had a great relationship and they always played together. But that was two years ago. So I was worried about her reaction to him.
So the weeks before we reminded Gena of all the things they use to do together, how she would crawl all over him and tey always played etc. So the big day came on Thursday. When he showed up she was "shy" of him and hid behind me... but that lasted about 20 minutes. After a while I see Dennis and Gena having what could only be called a "pillow fight", i.e. he was tapping her head with a pillow and she was throwing it back at him. Then she piled all the coushins from the couch on him and burried him. Then my youngest started to loo into the pillows to see who was hiding, and she found her uncle. Now I have the two kids loving their uncle so that was good.
Next couple of days I watch Gena "CLING" to her uncle. She asks him to put her to bed, asks him to play with him. They sit down and play world of warcraft together. And now she knows uncle is leaving and she cries, cause she doesn't want him to leave. I'm so sad and happy all at once.
Ok, so what is with them? And why do you get them? Your heart starts to race at a million miles an hour, your stomach clenches, you feel flush, and there is nothing you can do about it. You try to "control" your breathing, you try to think yourself out of them, but for what? Nothing... you're lost in a giant void with no room to breath. Your hands don't work as well and your vision is goes blurry.
Not sure if anyone who reads this has them, ok not sure if anyone reads this... But Holy crap they suck. And what's really sad for me, is I give them to myself. No one else does it, but I think myself into them. I think of something, and let it fester, then it begins. I try to stop them before they start but they are a boulder down a hill, they just don't stop, they only get hiccups once and a while. I even told my wife that the petrify me and I think I worry about them while I'm having them. So what kinda sick thing is that, a panic attack about a panic attack while having a panic attack about something else?
So my friend showed me this site: View Bids. It actually shows you what people are bidding on for words and per clicks. Like mortgage is something like $4+, Mesothelioma is at $11 + . Now I ask you WHAT IS: Mesothelioma ?
I think is a type of cancer, I guess maybe I should click on a link and find out?
Good tool for people back pocket though. Cause you never know when someone might click on a Mesothelioma link.
So today is my bday, I'm turning 25 for the 10th time. Last night we went out to celebrate my bday. Sadly my wife tried to get dinner reservations but the place calls up 2 hours a head of time and says sorry we over booked. So her and I end up at the same place we went last year, but this is no way a bad thing, it's a great steak house and you pay for it! So the dinner rocked, and of course I'm with my wife (no kids) so it was even better.
So I knew we were going to have dinner, and some other surprise, and she scared me on our way to the resturaunt when she said, "I've never been to one of them before"... ONE OF THEM??? WTF!?! So I'm getting scared... but at dinner she spilled it, she bought tickets to a Monster Truck Ralley. And I had never been to one either, so yeah I was pretty excited. Granted it's one of the most redneck things I'd ever been too, heck the guy in front of us had a mullet. I had a great time, and well my wife ROCKS! Cause honestly I would have never thought to go to one of those, but I had a complete blast!
I'm talking about my 19 month old here. I'm sitting at the table with my notebook and she's literally running back and forth. Nothing to accomplish, just running back and forth. It's adorable and confusing all at the same time. Now she took oat meal out of the pantry and opened it up and she's eating it uncooked. Not sure if that's good for her or not, but heck horses eat it.
Just got a hold of the site FunToCheat it's a site to post and find cheats to games, in general games for console etc. It's not on the box now, but I'll soon have 100% control over it. Just thought I'd mention it.
We released evoArticles version 2.1 the otherday, and it rocks. Munzir out did himself. This should really be version 3 in my opinion with all the new features and enhancements. The media support is a HUGE seller, many people are enjoying it. I'm hopefully going to get the demo up and working again, so I'll cross my fingers on that
