another freezing monday.  The walk to the train was tough.  There was also a derailed train near jamaica so the commute was much longer.  But I finally got to work and it’s busy.  A short week this week.  Only 3 days, plus tomorrow I need to get  my tooth fixed. JOY.

Also I decided not to shoot darts on the team anymore.  Like I said in the past.  The Monday night games have become less and less fun.  And not only do I not enjoy going, I am enjoying darts less, which sucks. So I decided to end my season short, and ramp up for next season.  Taking this week off and starting practicing in December.  Next season will have a nice new outlook!

Went out with Tommy gun Friday night to biddy’s which was fun.  Drinking chatting with JJ, good times. PLUS my wife PICKED ME UP.  It was great!

Have a good Monday.

Thursday is turning out to be my least favorite day of the week.  Let’s recap

1) Monday night the other team did not show up for darts, so we had a little scrimmage, and it was awful.  I did not shoot my  best, but tempers were flailing.  Darts just is not fun anymore, I do not know what to do.

2) Tuesday was a lot of work , and the economy just keeps getting worse and worse. Plus I was hungover.

3) Wednesday was a series of terrible meetings.  But all in all not such a bad day.  Got home late ,but had a really good dinner and watched a movie with the wife!  (A rare thing)

Today is starting out ok.  But Thursday’s are a pain.  Hope your day is nice ….

Wow last update was October 30th.  Today is November 17th.  That’s a lot of useless news you all have been missing out on!  Let’s get you up to speed

1) Economy is in the crapper, I am lucky to be working.

2) Baby Egg has been sick off and on all month, and his sleeping sucks.  But it seems he is finally getting better and sleep is slowly ( I use this word gingerly so my wife doesn’t punch me in the mouth) getting better.

3) Our car died, luckily it was in the driveway, and it cost a fortune to fix.  Damn it.

4) Work is still very busy, and we are cost cutting like crazy, thus my lack of posting.

5) Warhammer online is fun for me.  But the general public is crying about it sucking.  I think they will fix it.  I made some destruction toons and the Black Orc is so much fun!

Tonight is darts, sort of.  The captain of our opposing team called last week to ask for a postponement.  But never got back to us, even after our captain called.  Dart drama sucks.  So tonight we are going to our home bar, probably not playing anyone, and just going to bitch and drink.  Drinking is good though!

Lastly my wife and I went out Saturday night!  We got a GREAT baby sitter and went to a great German restaurant.  Unfortunately Diana got a really bad headache so we cut the night short.  But we hope to do it again this week!! Going out not getting a headache!

Anyway here is a cute picture of baby Eggs.  Have a nice week.  I will update tomorrow !!!

Cute guy!

Today I rode my bicycle to the train station.  It shaved off 20 minutes, seriously.  I am so excited about it! 40 minutes a day gone off my commute!!!! WOOHOOO.

Tomorrow is Halloween, but I won’t be participating because I need to work. SUCKS bad actually, but I hope the wife, Alayna and the boy have fun. We are having a small get together for the kids actually. So I get leftovers….

Here is a good one of alayna and mommy.

We started a good cleaning of the house, and I cleaned up the computer room a bit.  Place looks good.

Don’t work too hard today suckers!

Well Last night we shot darts at home.  It was nice to be back at Biddy’s.  Thanks to Corey for being such a great bartendar.  Darts was rough. And I mean really rough.  We got killed 19-5.  Julio and company are a really stacked team.  But we had a lot of chances and didn’t pull through.

On a personal note I don’t know what to do with darts.  I really enjoy shooting, BUT I feel the team is a bit stagnant, and there is no general direction.  I only get out once a week.  And sometimes it gets very frustrating, and that just isn’t worth it!  I want to go out and have fun! and compete.  And lately the fun is fading.

I had a good time last night. But some days I rather wait until Friday night and shoot pickup darts.

Dart dilemma

I got home around 1245 in the morning.  And crashed on the couch.  baby Egg is still not sleeping well.  So night time is rough.

I woke up to POURING Rain.  and it was COLD.  I have to walk to the train station, so I knew I would be screwed.

I put on my raincoat, got my umbrella, and walked FAST to the train.  5 minutes later i am SOAKED.  COLD, and in pain!  This was probably the worst commute to date.  When I got on the train, my head was pounding, my knee got twisted up, and I was soaked.

I managed to fall asleep until some fat ass sat next to me.

Got to work and now everything is cooling down.  Going to be a rough weekend , we have to shut the power down in our building at work, so I get to miss Halloween.

Happy Freaking Tuesday!

We went to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden to a Halloween thingy.  Was a blast, here is diana with egg.

Baby and Momma

The kids had a blast especially Owen and alayna!

Had a fun weekend.  Saturday went apple picking with the Bolands and the family  Here is a picture of the kids getting some pumpkins

Sunday we went to see the Sisson’s and do some pumpkin carving!  I don’t have pictures of the carved pumpkins, but they came out great!

Tonight is back to darts for Eric!!!!! going to George Keeley’s and playing the always fun Dartbags! If you are near Amsterdamn and 83rd come check us out!

Cheers

Last Friday I came home from work.  Decided to cut myself with a razor knife, and spent the night in the emergency room…..

Nice work!

I didn’t INTENTIONALLY cuy myself,,,,,, but I was tired, and shouldn’t have been using a razor knife.

I am planning to take the stitches out myself tonight!!! YAY

have a nice weekend

It has been very busy and very sleep deprived at the Materns household.  A chest infection, fever sickness hit us hard.  Knocking the whole family out for almost 2 weeks.  we are alive now and looks like it’s mostly on the way out.  PHEW.

I missed two weeks of darts with my busy work schedule and sickness.  So I am looking forward to getting back to the oche on Monday night.

We went pumpkin picking this long weekend, and I got a good shot of Alayna.  Here it is

Alayna Pumpkin

This week has been tough.  Still baby Egg is not sleeping, so life is hard.  Plus I have a secondary Sarbines Oxley audit tomorrow (friday).

BUT Saturday we are going apple picking with the Bolands, and Sunday we are going to Sissons house for Pumpkin decorating.  So should be good.

Very happy to be posting again, miss me?

Alayna slept very well last night and is feeling better this morning! Very good, it was getting scary there for a while.

Baby Egg is not sleeping too well, which is not very good.  You can never have a good balance!

Left for work real early today, was in by 715am.  AC units went boom, but they are ok now.

This weekend is more work on the house and making sure both kids feel good, and hopefully giving the wife a needed rest.

Have a nice weekend
