This has been a very interesting week for me. Just some random thoughts and musings.
- I think I am developing OCD when it comes to my lawn. I have a couple of spots in my yard that the sprinklers don't quite cover. At night I go out with the hose and water my little friends (blades of grass) to make sure they get fed. I almost end up hand-watering (I won't tell you what kind of 'job' I tell Barb I am giving it) the whole yard. I now mow the front lawn twice a week and the backyard once a week. I cringe when I see the lawn right before I mow it. I don't want my neighbors to think I am raising a hippie yard.
- I have recently re-discovered the joys of Progressive Rock. No longer a relic of the 70's-with new bands like The Mars Volta and Coheed and Cambria, progressive rock is continuing to give me chills that run up and down my back. I have also rediscovered how much I still like Heavy Metal-sorry Mom.
- Whe does a woman get a month off for a hysterectomy, but if I go in for a vasectomy I need to be into work the next day? I understand the shock that a woman goes through of having a part of her body removed, but the possibility of a man touching my money-maker makes me shudder-and not with excitement.
- Ethan is becoming quite the little hitter. I recently bought a wiffle-ball set and have been throwing balls to him. He is building up some hand-eye coordination and hitting the ball real well.
- The other night Mason was real fussy and wouldn't calm down. We were watchng the Colbert Report and they had Rush on as a special guest. As soon as they started playing "Tom Sawyer" Mason calmed down and was transfixed. Yeah!!! I DVR'd it and play it back for him. He also loves listening/watching Guitar Hero. Hopefully he'll be my little rocker!
- Yes! Ralph Nader is on the ballot in Utah. Now my choice won't be limited to a Grumpy Old White Man or a Black Celebutante. Neither appeals to me. Go Ralph!

I feel your obsession with your lawn. My deacons did a lawn-mowing fundraiser today. I helped them mow other peoples’ lawns, but I didn’t want them touching mine (especially after I saw their mowing capabilities – or lack thereof).
I have pretty much stopped listening to music on the radio – talk radio – Rome, Glenn Beck. But I just can’t take Metallica, Motley Crue, Ozzy, and Poison off my iPod.
I love your description of Obama – celebutante – that is exactly what he is!
You're worried about a vasectomy? Try giving birth! Trust me, the needle that they use for a vasectomy is TONS smaller than the epidural one.
are you having a vesectomy? you're a whimp is all i gotta say! and you really should go to the dentist!!!
Finally someone who shares my love of heavy metal. I don't feel so alone in the world. (of haters anyway) I of course save it for when I'm on my way to work. It would freak my mom out, hope she doesn't read this.
(funny reading your blog Ryan, we have a lot in common. We must have inherited the some of the same genes. Maybe from gpa rosse, wouldn't that be funny if he was a metal head..too)
I think you DO have OCD when it comes to the lawn!!
And I think you are too chicken to get a vasectomy, besides who is going to call the doctor?? I'm not so I guess it will never happen. Te-He ;)
i think you guys should have at least one more baby! it'll be good for you!
i agree with liz...even numbers!!!
Hey Ryan- I think the lawn is a male thing Beau would be out there everyday if he could! And it's not really "our lawn" (rental). I am with you and Mari I've alwaysliked Heavy Metal. I can't wait the Office is almost here!!! Sept. 25th I think!
i am sooo disappointed ryan..heavy metal? i am a loser of a mom!!! i agree with barb..who would/will call the doctor for your big V? and as far as grumpy old man..he DID spend several years in a pow camp..who woulnd't be grumpy coming out of one of those?
