I-AM-FUDGE

This book is great for anyone in a relationship, especially those who are married. No matter if you have been married for 10 years, or a newlywed, this book will help you in your relationship. I was given this book and it has helped me realize how my wife needs to bs loved. The book explains that there are 5 simple way people feel loved:
Gifts
Acts of Service
Words of Affirmation
Physical Touch
Quality Time
You need to figure out how you feel love, and your spouse. You may be surprised. Many people try to give love the way they feel it the most. I may like to receive gifts, and shower my wife with gifts, where just spending quality time with her would show her that I love her more than anything in the world. More than if I bought her a new car!
If you really want to make your spouse fall in love with you all over again, read this book, then share it with your spouse.

February 2, Groundhogs Day in Omaha, NE.  Mr. Punxsutawney Phil came out today and looked for his shadow.  Mr. Phil did not see his shadow which means that Spring should be right around the corner.  Doesn't seem like it's near, since today we have had the coldest wind chills since I have moved back to Nebraska, -30 degrees.  It is hard to explain that from -30 to even zero you can feel the difference.

Here is Punxsutawney on his annual visit to see the shadow, or not.

I just heard on the radio today that an organization called Fixed Point Foundations created a super bowl commercial, that FOX declined.   After a few months of working on the commercial and raising funds (3.1 Million for 30 seconds) for its broadcast, however, Fox sent what Taunton calls "a carefully worded document" explaining the network "would not air anything with religious doctrine."

I have started to read. Wait, let me say it differently, since last April, when I got my ipad, I have stated to read. I used to go into bookstores all the time and buy books, but would never read them. Now on my ipad, I can have 10,20,50 books with me at a time.
I stopped into Books-a-Million since I heard they had good coffee (Yelp)
I grabbed a cup of their Joe Muggs, pulled up a chair and got out my ipad. Nice hot coffee with good flavor, quiet reading spot with semi hard chairs. Staff was very friendly and helpful when I got up to look for an "old fashion book" the paper one!
My wife likes books, so we will definitely be back.

Same day, now finishing another cup out at Scooters. I don't really like their coffee, but the free wifi, and nice people watching makes the day go by...

My first year back as a director, and we finally get our first snow day.  I guess last year they had one in October, we are now at January 10, and are here with 2 kids.

Well for the first time in many, many years, I did not have any fireworks on New Year's Eve.  There was one year I flew out of Hawaii, and back to Omaha, but watched some fireworks from the plane, and another year, my mom was with me and we had champagne at Mark and Pam's house.  This year was my first year having Christmas away from Hawaii, and ringing in the new year with some red wine and watching TV, instead of being outside blowing stuff up, and "chasing away the bad luck..."
Purpose:  This is my word for 2011. I listen to KLOVE the radio station, and they challenged their listeners to choose a word they can live by in 2011.
I pray that I can find purpose, for the financial hardship, for my house in Hawaii not selling, and the reason why the Lord led us to Omaha, away from our family and friends.

I love starbucks. There are so many different coffee places in Omaha. Crane, Scooters, Winchells, Village Grinder, but I always come back to the Bux. My glass mug (in the pic) was cracked when I was still in Hawaii. I walked into this sBux and showed the girl, and she swapped it out for me, no questions asked.
Got a nice Thanksgiving Blend going for this rainy cold Wednesday.

Well, it is a week into November and we have been having beautiful weather.  The mornings have been a bit chilly, hitting in the 20's with the wind, but by the afternoon, we are back into the upper 50's, but again with that wind, we feel a lot colder.
I was told that last October there was already 30" of snow.  So glad we don't have any of the white stuff yet.  I can actually go without!

On a Sunday outing, Carissa and I stopped into a starbucks to enjoys some coffee as well as use the Internet. We got onto the subject of tattoos and what we would want on our bodies. I would like to have the Star of David, on my arm, as well as my wedding band on my finger. I will be enlisting the help of my artist friend to see what he can come up with for the star. As far as the wedding band, all the artist needs to do is copy exactly what my band looks like right now.

Above is a picture of the star of David from the movie, Knockaround Guys. Vin wears it well. I am hoping for something like that. Maybe a bit more design, as this one is pretty plain.
