Sun, 03 Jan 2010 18:25:22 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en My XBox died, which has provided me with some extra free time. Around the same time, Kristen just happened to mention that she would like wrap-around shelving built around our fireplace. I'm not suggesting a correlation. I'm just saving Internet tube space by mentioning them in the same post. I ... http://www.nebulouscontent.com/?p=70 Ryan is done taking naps...sorta. She won't nap at the appropriate time, but this is the third day in a row that she has fallen asleep at random times and places. Maybe she has that necrolepsy. I bet she's not the only Ryan that's exhausted right now. http://www.nebulouscontent.com/?p=68 Marriage is all about compromise. I know this all too well. My story takes place in November of 2008. We had been living in this house for 3 1/2 years. The surround speakers of our home theater area, while installed, had never actually been wired-in during that time. One cloudy ... http://www.nebulouscontent.com/?p=67 We once assumed that Taylor was one of those climbing toddlers because she would climb onto our couches all the time. Now, two years later, Ryan has shown us that Taylor was actually just scared of heights. Taylor also never gloated about her climbing conquests. The kitchen table is a favorite spot ... http://www.nebulouscontent.com/?p=65 I found out recently that Kristen tried to get me a workbench for Father's Day. It was one that I had admired at Costco one day. She went back later to find they were all gone. So my gift was that I could get a workbench for the garage. I ... http://www.nebulouscontent.com/?p=64 It's a difficult song in Rock Band. Also this: I wanted everyone to see what my lawn looks like before the DC July weather completely crushes it. Oh yeah, and those are my kids. http://www.nebulouscontent.com/?p=62 I have no idea what the law says about child abuse. I imagine the border surrounding the territory known as Child Abuse is a big gray line. Spanking a kid isn't against the law. Spanking a kid in the face with a brick is. We may disagree on how gray ... http://www.nebulouscontent.com/?p=59 We recently had some professional family portraits taken. My wife takes approximately 600 pictures each month with her billion dollar camera and various million dollar lenses and [insert exaggerated amount] dollar backdrops and props. So, as she can explain, I was very supportive when she said she wanted to pay ... http://www.nebulouscontent.com/?p=58 I think Taylor has really turned a corner. She's starting to become useful and thus I'm starting to like her. I'm trying to bestow all my fatherly wisdom on her. For instance, why rake when you have a bagging lawn mower? Kristen thinks this is unfair because I'm just teaching her ... http://www.nebulouscontent.com/?p=56 I added a few pictures at the beginning of the Rebirth page. When I originally made that page, I wasn't sure if I was allowed to put up pictures of a pregnant Kristen. It seemed better to wait and ask rather than guess and die. http://www.nebulouscontent.com/?p=54
