Fun with fake weapons
I finally got myself up on a Saturday for the 8am Sayoc class. It was fun.
After class I went home and Mo was already sleeping. So I messed around on the computer and started watching a movie. About half-way through the movie, there was a knock at the door. It drove Pooka completely crazy (of course).
I went to the door and a delivery man gave me a package. Inside that package was my Tomahawk (Kayan Headaxe).
I was thrilled. Mo was sleeping so I had no one to show my new toy too. I was also slightly irked that the thing showed up on the same day, but several hours after, a Sayoc class.
So I took photos. :)

1st Father's Day
Maybe I've never mentioned this, but I train in martial arts. I got a brown belt in Tae Kwon Do in my late teens- early twenties. Now I train in kick boxing, Krav Maga, Sayoc Kali, and sometimes grappling.
By far my favorite of those is Sayoc Kali. Sayoc Kali is weapons, mostly knives. Early in my training I learned they also did some tomahawk work. I wanted a piece of that and harassed my instructor about it...repeatedly.
Recently, one of my instructors mentors came to OKC and did a 2 hour tomahawk seminar. (It was awesome).
My enthusiasm for the tomahawk has infected several members of my Sayoc class. So, you can only imagine my excitement when mo told me what she got me for Father's Day.
So, in case you wonder, let me be as clear as I can.
Mo Is The Best Wife.
Ever.

two in one day?
I'm all about spoiling you guys.
Admittedly, the little booger was sleeping through most of this one. Still, he/she sucks his/her thumb a bit and waves a little. So, you know, cute.

I know it's been awhile...
...and the 13 week ultrasound is coming, but in the mean time,
you're welcome.

Madness!
After seeing several of my friends save some serious money with coupon-ing I decided to look into how it works and how they are cutting their grocery bill by so much.
I am a pretty smart guy. I took a test and everything. I got through Advanced Stats with an A, I write reports about how smart other people are. I have a masters degree. I run a clinic. I'm really not particularly dumb.
But guys...wtf?
The sheer volume there is to learn about this subject is enough to exhaust any mind. There are numerous kinds of coupons, and some things that are 'like' coupons but are not, newspapers are involved, but so is the internet, there is a language to learn, and every store has it's rules (and, usually, a card).
So I started reading on the how to do it. Then I got myself what I believe is the first Sunday paper I ever spent money on. I got a little $1 accordion file/notebook. I have to take it in stages because my brain can only process so much before I get tired of looking at it.
Thankfully there are numerous people who spend more time and energy figuring things out (and are evidently much smarter than me). Otherwise there is no way I would be able to do any of it. They even teach classes...which I may do if this turns out to be something worthwhile.
Anyone out there 'into' the whole coupon thing? Advice? Warnings? Testimonials?

Egads
I haven't posted in 2 weeks. What the hell?
Oh, right. Not much going on.Well, not with baby anyway. All sorts of stuff going on otherwise. The pract. students are graduating (or not) and working their little tails off getting stuff finished and turned in. I learned the joy (and horror) of the TRX class down at Premier. So, you know, stuff going on.
And even on the baby front, stuff is happening. Inside anyway. I made a video of all our daily shots up to May 7th. Here ya go...not much to see.
Mo has been EATING. Omagah.
The other day (after eating your normal 4 meals and near-constant snacks) we took a late night trip to Mart of Wals. I causally mentioned that the Boss's kids got her a edible bouquet of chocolate dipped strawberries and how she shared with the people at the clinic. Mainly because it was huge and filled with all the strawberry production of California*
So as we were heading to the car she takes my arm ever so gently and asks "Is there any left at the clinic?" I say yes. She asks with eyes that beg "Can we go there now?" I laugh, and then this happens.
She powered through 8, then paused and put down #9 in about a minute. It was something to see.
*unfounded, but lacking any evidence to the contrary, I am forced to assume is true.
