To Blog or Not to Blog?

Not sure about this blog yet. I sort of want to blog to keep up with our family and friends, strewn about the world. But then I sort of think that I'm not always as appropriate as one should be when one sends out blog addresses to relatives. And then most of me says that I'll never keep up on this anyway...

So, the blog begins, without any advertisement until I can gauge the insanity of its existence. I had a lit teacher who told me that the purest writing is always done without an audience other than one's self...of course this is the internet so I would be asinine to apply that theory now. Moving on.

What's new?

TJ's World...Tj and his band have gigs for the streetdance and the 3rd of July, and they will be in a battle of the bands this Fri. He's been having a good time practicing and performing. They did something I like to call "laying down tracks" at a recording studio in a Duluth, courtesy of a Battle win. They are selling demos for $5, so if you can part with your lunch money, send it his way.

His softball team is doing better than usual this year (which means they won some games...that usually doesn't happen until play-offs ;), so he's been having good time Tuesdays as well.
After his lay-off from Jan to May, we're hoping for another one so he can go back to school in Sept. He is looking at doing the electrician program.

Kasey Jo's World...Kasey is doing OK with Evie's arrival. I will not write "well," strictly "ok." She thinks that Evie is the "cutest," but sometimes terrorizes her when I leave the room. I can't tell if it is purposeful yet or not. I think it is. She goes to daycare with Evie at least 3 days a week and loves it. Her buddy there is "Hailey Sherman," whom she calls by her full name so as not to confuse her with "my cousin Hailey." She is also spending a lot of time with her BFF Toby.

Evie's World...Evie mostly just sleeps and eats. She smiles now, which is nice. I also saw her put the strap from her swing in her mouth yesterday. That's new. Her sleeping RULES now, finally. She goes to sleep at about 7 and gets up about 5:30 a.m. for a bottle, then goes down from about 6:00 to 7 or 8 a.m. Very livable. I hope she starts doing things soon. Like cleaning her room.

Krissy's World...I am presently avoiding homework. Otherwise this blog would have never existed. I like to hold it down to the wire. It is 5:20 p.m. and I need to accomplish quite a bit by my midnight deadline. I live dangerously like this. Anyway, I'm still taking Electrical classes for my tech degree, which hopefully will be completed (at least round 1) in December.

I am planning a trip to Dubai (fingers crossed) with my girlfriend Nicky in September. Her parents live there, so we'll be taking her son, Reece, to visit. More on that when it actually occurs.

Ok, I'll quit. I'm still uncertain about this. I figured if I ever blogged it would be an outlet for my rampant opinions, not a family brochure. We'll see. Maybe next week we could do a unit on globalization or something.

Peace in the middle east (preferably before I get there).
