I vow to post everyday this week. And I don’t vow very often, I think the last time I did vow was probably at my wedding, so you know I’m serious.

Yesterday after I posted my ode to French fries, I noticed that it was only my 3rd post in about a month. That is unacceptable. So, I am going to post everyday this week to make up for it. Or, possibly lose even more readers. Either way, one thing is for sure, by the end of the week I will probably be posting Youtube clips of ladies falling over while stomping on grapes just to get something up.

Do you remember that time I tried to do Ada Week? It was right before John was born and I said I was going to post about Ada every day that week but then only posted once so I came up with a vague excuse that involved me lactating. Hopefully, this week will be nothing like that. For everyone’s sake.

Since this week is an effort to make up for being a terrible blogger and not giving any updates for extended periods of time, I thought I would give a couple updates on things that have happened during my blog layover.

Update 1 – I started reading two new blogs:
Tyler Tarver – What I imagine my blog would be like, if I were funnier. Plus, he’s like a public servant because he put together this Harry Potter Recap video a few weeks ago so everyone could watch it and be up to date before going to see Deathly Hollows.

Ricky Anderson – Ricky is an IT guy at his company and he writes about conversations he has with people like me, people who know absolutely nothing about computers. I like reading his blog because I can relate with every person he has a conversation with and it makes me feel like a better person, even though reading his site is a another reminder of me being a terrible blogger. He asked me to write a guest post probably 2mo ago and I still haven’t sent him anything. This is my public apology. But I think he’s in Hawaii right now so that gives me a chance to get something done before he gets back and gives you a chance to rob his house as long as you know where he lives.

Update 2 – Last week, Cam Newtown was ruled eligible by the NCAA. This was great news for both LB and me. It’s good for LB because now her beloved Auburn Tigers can keep their star QB and go on to play in the BCS National Championship game. It’s good news for me because now if John ends up being a highly recruited 5 star athlete, I can shop him around to all the schools willing to pay me hundreds of thousands of dollars for him to play at their school, as long as I never tell him about it. Everybody wins.

Just because I can’t tell John about my plan doesn’t mean I can’t start trying to capitalize on this opportunity. His hands aren’t quite big enough to grip a football yet, however he is roughly the same size as a football so I have been taking him out to the backyard and throwing him like one. This way he can experience what its like to be the ball: feel the wind resistance, time rotations while in the air, calculate angles, etc. This experience is sure to gain him the upper hand on all the other 10mo old future quarterbacks out there. And sure, he cries a lot now, but I just have to keep telling myself he’ll thank me one day.
