Too excited to sleep

Posted by BenSpark on March 31, 2006

Have you seen that Disney commercial where two kids are too excited to sleep on the night before their Disney trip, Yeah, that is us right now. Dang commercials and their insidious attacks on our subconcious. So, instead of sleeping right now we are watching videos on VH1, which coincidentally actually still has videos, albeit only at 3:00am.

Oliver and Duncan would not cooperate and get into the suitcases for a cute picture about them trying to stow away on our trip to Disney. Oh well, we leave tonight to go to a hotel near the airport for a quick trip in the morning. I can’t wait to be back at Disney again.

Oliver finally cooperates on this goodbye picture.

A Close up of Oliver’s sad face.

Signs of Spring. These babies will probably be in bloom when we get back from Disney.

Home tonight, packed for Disney. Got pretty much everything in one bag except for the helmet for the race. That will have to find a home in Allison’s bag.

Duncan still chasing shadows.

Babies galore….

Posted by BenSpark on March 28, 2006

No we are not expecting. Just to dispel any thoughts on that subject. Before I get all sorts of hate e-mail and phone calls, NO we are NOT expecting.


But alot of our friends are expecting or in the case of Jen and Ben they have a beautiful baby boy named Brett who was born yesterday.

Brett arrived on Monday, March 27, 2006 at 3:53 PM.
(He shares the birthday with my sister Tara)

He was 9 lbs.1.9 oz. and 21 inches long.

Mom and Baby Brett are both doing great!

Congratulations are also in order for Derek and Michelle, they are expecting and will be having a treat around Halloween.

These are the babies I know about and have been given the clearance to post about.

Congratulations to all of our friends and their growing families.

I’m not the only one…

I’m certainly not the only one who shares this opinion. The Daily Ping: NBC’s Lame-O Radio Ads (1/16/2006)

Quick post…

Have you heard the group of morons on the radio who talk about the NBC shows for that evening’s lineup. I absolutely hate them and hate the concept of whoever came up with this advertising scheme. I hate it when the regular radio personalities talk about the TV shows for that night and who always, always, always get something wrong about the show. At least the fake radio friends get it right about each show but it is so annoying. Stop it!

So, I got one more piece of equipment for the feet. Yep, I have Superfeet inserts, Toe Crests, and now the Pediflex binders. I had another doctor’s visit today and I’m on icing my feet 3 times daily for 15 minutes each time plus the additional foot accoutrements.

Dont worry Im still going to give it my best shot at the marathon on Sunday. The final race details just came out and Im not that happy. The reason is that there are no buses from our hotel to the start of the race. The only hotel that is getting bus service is the Pop Century resort. I was unaware of this before we made plans for the trip. Had I known we probably would have stayed at Pop Century instead of All Star movies, but in this case well have to get a taxi to drop me off and to get Allison over to the Boardwalk to watch me go by.

The good news is that I have been reading the map incorrectly. I thought that the race route went along the road and then into Epcot then through the Boardwalk Area and then MGM but I had it wrong because I had it in reverse. The race actually hits MGM at the 3 mile mark then from MGM to the Boardwalk area and then through Epcot and out on the road. This is very good news because Ill be able to hit the parks without worrying if Ill make it inside, like the marathon last January.

Happy Birthday Tara.

Tonight we celebrated Tara’s birthday (Which is tomorrow) at the Colonel Blackington Inn in Attleboro. We had a fantastic dinnner and stayed there for about 3 hours. Erik had us get there before they did to surprise Tara, she was surprised. We had a great time.

Allison and I spent a real homebody day. We did some cleaning, laundry and then caught an afternoon movie Failure to Launch (very funny, go see it), then we went to Dick’s Sporting Goods to get me a new pair of rollerblades for the marathon next Sunday. (I’ll break em in between now and then.) Then Allison got a nice grown up coat at Burlington Coat Factory and we had lunch at Memphis BBQ.

Then we caught up on some of the taped shows from the past week.

Oliver and Duncan fought for the clothes basket, Oliver won. Why duncan didn’t just sit in the other identical one is unknown.
