The Devil ate my baby...

So things have been really tough lately with the little one. Day in and day out my wife has been having no luck with nap times, meals or anything else regarding the pint sized diaper demon. Everything has been fine up until a week ago. She screams, she has fits and she is so strong willed so there's no stopping her. Bedtime used to be our victory lap. Just lay her down and the night is ours. Now we put her down, she throws a fit and we monitor... on the monitor. Eventually she gives way and falls asleep but not without a fight.

We hear the usual possibilities of teething or a fever but we just think that the devil has taken hold of our sweet angel. We are not the holy rolly types but my wife is convinced that be the case. Hell, she even prayed to God tonight. Not for thanks to the fine Chinese people that provided the evenings meal but rather to God in hopes that our child would sleep through the night. On a more serious note though, I would like for my daughter to dance in the tub again and not look pissed all the time. I want her to run back and forth again for no reason.

Ugh. This must be one of those development stage things that she is going through. This would be great because i wouldn't know how to deal with a possessed child.

I knew we should have baptized her when we had the chance.

This Poor Mans Diet...

   Time and time again people comment at my size and weight. Usually the comments come in the form of either mockery or in a way to make me feel inferior to the larger person spitting the insult. The comment is not always meant as an insult but either way it makes me step back and feel pretty bad about the size I am and have been for the past 10 years. I am 5'and 5", weighing in at 120 pounds. This may sound ideal to most but for someone like me, it's not where I am comfortable being. Have I accepted this size? Yes, of course, I have no choice. I'm Hispanic with a high metabolism. I eat to gain weight and it vanishes overnight. I can only work out so much before I start to burn more weight. Not what I like especially since I work in a field where I deal with macho type personas that try to show dominance by size. Just like in the animal world where a larger male will show dominance over a smaller male. Larger guys don't scare me but they like to think it does.

Great Year for Those Halloween Feels...

   This year has been one of the best years for Halloween, speaking for myself here. Sure the day was great when I was a kid. I couldn't wait till I got home from school and got into whatever it was that I was being for the night and meet up with friends to go around to the so called "rich neighborhoods" to gather a bag full of treats that I would never eat. It was all fun and games but never has it felt so great. I find that to be true to the fact that our 2 year old is obsessed. I wrote about this obsession before and am still amazed by it. I live in a town where Trick o' Treating happens a day early and so as I write this, I am able to share that my daughter was more entertained by the pumpkins, ghosts, zombies and bats that covered trees and houses than the actual treats that were being given. It was incredible to see her so happy.  One other thing that helped along the buildup for the big day, last night, is always the TV shows, movies and specials that are

Joining the Subie Cult...it's real...

Image
I used to think the force was made up, just some far off mystical story that people made up. But it's not! It's true, all of it... the power, the stories, the following... all true. The power and truth that I speak of is the cultish following that is a part of all Subaru owners. You have no idea it's happening but once you realize it has, you always find yourself sitting there saying to yourself, usually while sitting in your Subie, "Huh... would you look at that... I am in a cult... and I kinda LIKE IT". Subaru has been pumping out the same 4-6 models of AWD vehicles for the past decade and has grown an incredible following from all sorts of people. This is no surprise if you look at the failed history of the company. Some time ago Subaru was part of a five family Japanese automotive company. As the stories go, Japan wanted to reel in all of their Auto companies and produce them all under one roof to stabilize the market. Subaru, or better know
