  • NowBlowPoMe: Tubin'

    I wish I knew the history behind tubing. I don’t even have the time to research it right now. I wonder who first decided to remove the innards of a tire and put it to water. I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s a great idea. Where else can one feel comfortable toting a cooler…

  • NowBlowPoMe: 1 Week and 3 Pounds

    7 days ago I weighed 155 pounds. Today I weigh 152 pounds. I will continue to give updates on my diet every Saturday until the end of NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month). I hope to lose 20 pounds in total. I realize it’s not much. I also realize I am not obese. I could refer…

  • NowBlowPoMe: My Sack of Cells.

    Emory was conceived a year ago today. I know the exact day almost down the minute for several reasons and I’ll mention a few of them below. Four months earlier, I had gone to visit my doctor. I had blood work run. She checked for any genetic predispositions. Everything looked fine except that my measles…

  • NowBlowPoMe: Desperate Measures.

    When Emory was first born, he had his days and nights mixed up. He slept soundly all day long and for stretches of several hours and then at 9 PM the long stretches came to an end. At night, he’d drift off and then wake up almost immediately. This left two very exhausted, new parents.…

  • NowBlowPoMe: MOHs

    I had the cancer cut out of my upper lip yesterday. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it’d be. Although, when they were finished I looked like this: Usually I look like this. (I’m the guy on the right.) I arrived at 9:45 AM. They took me in at 10:00 AM and told me…

  • NowBlowPoMe: Tuesdays With Murray

    I’m dieting, which means we’re coming up with new and exciting ways to eat healthy foods. I began by purchasing this book and it’s pretty great. We’re eating a lot more veggies and more often. TobyJoe and I eat pretty well to begin with, him more so than me. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t…

  • NowBlowPoMe: My Face

    Tomorrow I’m scheduled to have my face ripped apart for mistakes I made as a teenager. (OK, so I’m exaggerating a little.) I am not looking forward to it, not one bit. I’m scheduled to be there at 9:45. And it can take anywhere from 3 to 7 hours. Judging by the size of my…

  • NowBlowPoMe: The Weird Shit

    I was pregnant for almost 3 weeks before I knew it. And during that time The Weird Shit started. The Weird Shit in the beginning was even weirder because I wasn’t aware of the fact that I was pregnant. Had I not eventually peed on a stick to discover I was “with child”, I would…

  • NowBlowPoMe: 10 Years and 55 Pounds.

    Once, there was a teenage girl who couldn’t put on weight to save her life. She weighed a mere 100 pounds and stood 5 feet, 6 inches tall. She was so skinny, her mother forced her to drink weight gain shakes for breakfast. And then she went to college and discovered how to write annoying…

  • NowBlowPoMe

    I’ve never been one for joining in on all the extracurricular blogger activities but today I joined NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month). I have seen the term used all over the Blogosphere and up until I read Derek’s post today, I had no clue what it stood for. I’m going to try and post here…
