Coming soon....

Meet my beautiful wifey!!!
Now that I've introduced my blog through Dad's (so I cheated a little to get exposure!) I figured that I should keep up my with writing every once in a while even though I don't have much to say. So, I'll leave with a teaser. Thursday is our next Dr. appointment and possibly the day we find out the sex of our baby. I'll actually have an answer now. As for now, when people ask me, "Do you know what you're having yet?", my response has been, "A baby". Yeah, that gets old after a while even though I find it funny every time, especially if that person has asked me more than once.
So that'll be new and to remind myself of other events that have happened recently, I'll write them down now and drop hints while I'm at it as to what the next post will be about.
1. Movie shoot.
2. End of R&R.
3. Anything else that comes to mind
Until then, Sianara

Dad update (Part 2 1/2)

This will probably be the last update about dad. He went home yesterday. I guess the hospital figured the nurses could use a break! Unfortunately there's nothing they can do for his condition, so I'm sure I'll be writing similar posts in the future...JK...hopefully not. I've heard of "terminal cancer" and other terminal illnesses, but never a "terminal bowel obstruction". That's my family's luck with health issues in a nut shell!!
Thanks to everyone again for your concern and support. I'm sure dad will have a post up soon.

Dad's condition (part 2)

Thank you all for your comments and concern for my dad and also wishing my wifey and I well with our 1st bundle of joy that's on the way.
We went to the hospital yesterday to spend some time with dad for Father's day. He had tubes and the normal stuff stuck in him (I'm sure he'll fill you all in with a piece once he gets out). He just got a fresh dose of morphine as we arrived and was soon fading in and out of consciousness. We went for a walk due to the nurse's persistance and he got hit up by an old lady tied to a chair for a knife to cut herself free!! Luckily he remembered to tie up the back of his hospital gown...that could've been awkward!
He's suppose to have x-rays today to compare to the x-rays from Saturday to see if his condition has improved. If so, he'll probably come home, if not they might opt for surgery to fix is intestines. Nasty.
Again thanks for your comments and support for dad and my small family.
I'll continue to post updates as soon as I find out more information.
Thanks again

Dad's Condition (part 1 of ?)

So as promised I told you I'd update you on dad's condition. I was at a read through last night for a film we're shooting this week when I got a phone call from my brother letting me know he was taking dad to the very emergency room hospital in which he (my brother) works.
I arrived shortly after and watch dad, with morphine in him, be a complete smart "a" to the nurse....trying to be funny. It was pretty comical but I know how my dad gets on morphine. You thinks he's funny "sober"?? You should see him drugged up. Anyways, he had to drink this nasty liquid that looked like someone else's urine sample the nurse brought in to share with dad! 2 full cups in preparation for the cat scan. The results came in several hours later that he, once again has an obtructed bowel. So, he's spending his Father's Day in the hospital, which won't be too entirely bad since he won't remember anything anyways!
Stay tuned for continual updates on dad's condition for the next week or so until he gets released from the hospital.

"Racoon eyes" taking time off....finally

Woo hoo....After tomorrow I'm on vacation! 1st vacation since my honeymoon over 2 years ago! I have mixed emotions about the vacation...yes, I know that doesn't normal but since I do route sales/delivery I really get screwed out of some money for the week I'm off. I really need to change professions! 8-5 and same vacation pay doesn't exist in my world....for now. So if anyone has ideas on how to get some cash in the next few weeks, send me some ideas. Maybe I should've put up a little different picture for this post.
On the good side of life, my dad has now figured out how to link my blog to his blog so more of my dad's fan club will be exposed to my off beat humor. Wait, if you've read my dad's blog, you're probably already exposed to that.

Gonna Be a Daddy

Well, that's right. I'm gonna be a "pops" for the first time. I hope this photo won't disgust any of you (if anyone is actually reading my site by now!), and I'm not one of those people whose constantly throwing my business around and shoving it down every one's throat. I am passionate about certain things, and my family being one of those things, but this still is kinda outta character for me to upload this pic.
But I will be a 1st time dad by the end of the year and that is something awesome I am excited about. I guess this picture is mostly for those who are far away, like my friends, family out west and my wife's family and friends out west, in Hawaii, Guam, and the Philippines.
This ultrasound is at about 3 months. Still too early to tell the sex of the baby, but as long as it's healthy, and my wife ends up healthy, that's all that matters!

He wrote a short tongue and cheek article about becoming a grandpa for the 1st time you might find funny.
