It may sound funny to you, but one of the things that I like best is my home gym. When my wife and I were looking at our house, we noticed that it had this big downstairs space, with a fancy theatre room. I asked, do you think we’re going to go downstairs and watch a movie in that room? She said no. So I said, “What would you think if we gutted it out and turned it into a gym?” She said, “Great, we don’t have to go anywhere to work out.” So that’s what we did. I don’t do a whole lot when I’m home because I’m on the road so much. I like to enjoy my house and play with my little girl.
So I'm going to try to make it routine to start off every entry with a quote either I've said myself or someone has mentioned about me, only the interesting ones though. I'm also going to try to update every week, give me a second while I laugh at myself for that little joke. I know I'm only doing this because I don't have much of a life. Not much has changed since my last entry, so this is going to be strictly related to my personal life or more importantly parenthood.
I'll start off with work though to be traditional. I enjoy working with Randy and anyone can say what they want about the guy but he's great in the ring even if he sucks as a person. Heh, kidding Randy, or am I? Working with Ken this past Monday was interesting too, I don't get much of a chance to work with different people sometimes, just like working with Eddie, working with Ken was different but it was exciting. I know it's a one time thing but it gave the crowd a bit of a different flavor that they aren't use to. Ending off the show with my ass being kicked? Can't say I mind it much, I actually like being the attacked victim sometimes, can't explain why. Eventually my heel turn will come and hopefully it won't involve beating up Shawn.
After working my fingers to the bone this week to finish up the nursery that I've procrastinated finishing, it's finally done. It wasn't so bad because technically the room was already complete; I should say it's Aurora room because that's really who it belongs to but I know that one day, she'll love having her little brother and sister in her room. Right now she's just a little skeptical of why there's an extra crib in there. She thinks it's hers and tries to pull them together so she can climb back and forth into each of them. I've lost count of the number of times I've tried to explain that a baby is coming but it just doesn't register and that's alright I suppose. It'll become all too surreal within the next couple of weeks.
I haven't given much thought to being a father of two kids until now. Two pairs of diapers to change, two meals to prepare, two kids to hold at the same time. These aren't really the glorious parts of parenthood but I'm confident in my abilities as a parent. Steph's about the size of a baby watermelon, her bladder has a mind of its own and her feet look like she stole them from Fred Flinestone. Her waddle is heavy and swayful and she's hanging lower than she did with Aurora which accounts for more back pain. All in all though, she's still pretty cute I guess. She asked me to go and get her a piece of cheesecake the other night, at about one in the morning. I bitched naturally and complained for a couple of hours because, let's be serious she could have gotten a whole pie just to make it worth going out for. Steph and I have that cute hate/hate relationship going. We despise the sight of one another and if we could, one of us would probably commit murder, but we've both seen CSI, without a trace, all of those little tv shows so we're not going to chance it because my blondeness will kick in and I'll somehow forget to wipe the fingerprints off the very tip of the lampshade of the lamp I used to bash her head in and she simply wouldn't be able to move me on her own which would mean enlisting an accomplice.
Now that I've gone into so much detail about that which makes it pretty scary, it's time to move on. I took Aurora to the park yesterday since it's been in the 70's. Sometimes I'll refer to her as my clone, so here's the heads up for future reference. She looks more like Stephanie than anyone else but she's got my personality down to a tee. She's pretty comfortable with being around people, just not all that comfortable with them holding her and taking her off somewhere. That's when she becomes a little restless. Anyway, getting back to my discussion about the park, I took her to the park yesterday, she enjoys it very well. She doesn't really interact with other children that she doesn't know. She's always on the road so much that the only children she's usually around are Shane's boys and Dave's grandkids which are also boys. That makes her a little rough around the edges, cause she likes to wrestle and all that stuff but she still loves the teaparty and dress-up games. It'll be interesting to see what would happen if she has a sister. Aurora's quite a lovely child though, she's my pride and joy and I've recorded most of her life with the exception of her birth. I could go on for hours about her though so I'll wrap it up with she's a really great kid and if you'd ever like to see her just give the word.
This journal so far has served it's purpose, which was if no one remembers my opening entry to be able to keep in touch with some people. It's been a great tool for getting in touch with Randy and now I see him around just a little too much for my liking. I've thought about his elf ears in my sleep. I've spoken to John once which was pretty nice, maybe a litle awkward but life is full of awkward moments. I spoke to Maria once after the ppv and I think the mutual feeling was a pull Shawn's ponytail for being such a good actor. I've even caught up with Shawn, ironically enough one of our encounters was in Canada. I asked him to be the godfather, along with Randy to my second child. I already knew he would say yes but I'm not one that likes to assume things of people, he could have had a change of heart. By the way man, that thing I wanted to talk to you about a week ago, I finally remembered it last night. I've kept in touch with grandpa Dave as well, that never gets old man...heh literally.
Last but certainly not least is I had a nice evening out at the icecream parlor with Talia or Jamie, I've mixed it up and called her both. We had a nice time out and learned a bit about eachother. For sure it was definetely convienent that she lives in Connecticut. I'm probably the only interesting man in Connecticut anyway. She's a pretty great girl and definetely very high on the attractive scale. Though attractiveness isn't a main focus for me. I think we both had a nice time and hopefully we'll have a chance to do it again.
To end this, I'll say a few random things. Mickie is still a bully but we're both pretty awesome champs, old habits never die and my hair is still truly amazing. |
