    At the pet store last night I was looking at dresses for Victoria, and I got hit on by an absolutely adorable gay man.

    I felt bad having to tell him I’m not oriented that way, but man that was good for the ego.

    Tumblr, help me decide.  Which dress should I get for Victoria?

    My family had an Easter lunch at a famous KC barbeque spot. (Gates and Sons.)

    I brought a few rib bones home for Victoria, and she’s been walking around with one in her mouth and hiding them around the bedroom, repeatedly, all afternoon.  Once she picks a spot it’s apparently only suitable for a short amount of time before she has to find a more secure place to hide her bones.

    It makes me chuckle when she does cute things like this.

    Sixteen years ago, I met the most beautiful baby I’d ever seen and fell in love at first sight.  Even a thousand diaper changes couldn’t dim the love I had for that little doll, and now she’s a young woman who will forever have me wrapped around her finger.

    Happy Birthday to my baby girl!

    Forcing folks to listen to music while they navigate your blog is annoying. When that auto-play sound is of an audience clapping, it makes me think the owner of the blog in question is a giant douche.

    Seriously.  You log onto your own blog to the sound of an audience clapping.

    Victoria just yelped, jumped through the shutters and ran to her batcave under the bed.

    I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure she met one of the spiders that lives in my floor-to-ceiling window, and I think they may have just broken our uneasy alliance.

    It’s time for papa to do some consoling.

    Two really, really good feelings.

    First, the sight of my balance sheet and realizing that after only eight years in the work force, I’ve not only reached my ten-year goal for retirement savings… but I’ve got a realistic shot of doubling my goal in my first ten years of saving.

    And secondly, the cuteness of my puppy as we play her favorite game: chasing me around the bedroom. (Also, coincidentally, my favorite cardiovascular activity.)

    You know what the worst feeling in the world is?

    When I roll my desk chair back to get up and didn’t see my puppy under it, and she yelps in terror.

    She’s not hurt though.  She was just scared.

    I felt awful.

    Photos from our weekend in St. Charles for cheer competition. (Mostly taken at the St. Louis Science Center.) 

    Sadly I broke my camera so I don’t have any actual photos of the competition.

    My abs are talking to me.

    They’re saying: “Hope you enjoyed those two weeks off, asshole.  Here’s some nice soreness to remind you that getting sick is unacceptable.”

    Ouch.
