More pics from vacation

Here are some more pictures from our vacation that I wanted to share.

We got to Albuquerque on Monday afternoon and pretty much hung out at my sisters house the rest of that day. On Tuesday morning we went to Santa Fe and walked around. It was windy but beautiful.

On Wednesday we went to a few Indian Reservation (Pueblos) and saw Petroglyphs, Soda Dam, and actually got to go down into a real Kiva! It was pretty cool.

Thursday morning we went to Old Town Albuquerque and enjoyed New Mexican food one last time before we left. I am a HUGE fan of Sopaipillas!

Thursday night we went to Arizona for more vacationy goodness. But I will show you pictures of that tomorrow.

You Tube Tuesday #16 - SUPERSIZED!!!

This is a Supersized You Tube Tuesday! Since I have been gone on vacation I thought I would post a little with the video this week.

We had a great time in New Mexico. We took a train to Albuquerque and honestly, it was very relaxing. I thought it was going to be torture but it was not at all! It was nice to be able to walk around and stretch. It was a fun adventure just getting there. The kids really liked it too.

When we got to Albuquerque it was raining a bit. My sister and her husband picked us up about 10 minutes after we got there. Here is a picture of the kids at the train station.

I promise I will post more pictures and stuff about our week because we saw a lot of cool stuff but now I want to show you the video I tried to post last week but could not.

My son George and my youngest Niece Samantha decided to entertain us before they went off to bed. It was the first night of our vacation and was a good indicator on how the rest of the week would be. You can hear me laughing through most of this and laughing is pretty much all I did on this vacation.

What a great time!

Enjoy.

You Tube Tuesday #15

I took video and could not get it uploaded so here is one to tide you over til i get home.

Vacation! Woo Hoo!

That is right my friends. I am out of here although I am planning on posting at least on You Tube Tuesday but that is probably it.

Going to NM to visit my sister. Should be fun.

I hope you all had a great Easter!

A Little Q & A

Here are some questions from my good friend Vivian.

1. What are three ways blogging has affected your life?

   First and foremost it has made me realize that I was not alone with diabetes and because of that I am motivated to make diabetes a priority in my life. Second, it has allowed me to meet some truly amazing people that have become my friends. And lastly, it works as therapy for me by giving me a place to share all my ups and downs. I will never stop blogging because of these three things.

2. What is something you feel you could not live without but take for granted?

   Hands down, my wife. We have been together for so long that I forget to show her how important she is. I could not live without her. She is my other/better/favorite half!

3. Name two things you love about yourself and then name two things you would like to be able to add to that list.

   It is not easy to look at yourself and name things you love so I will try my best. I would say my sense of humor. I tend to make people laugh and love to laugh so I guess that is one. The other would be the gift I have for making people feel comfortable. I have always been a sounding board for friends and strangers. Almost like a bartender but without any booze (that I am sharing). I love to make friends so that “comfort” thing or whatever it is I am very thankful for.

   I would love to love my physical self. I think I am fat and ugly and I really hate to look at myself. I wish I could really love what I look like. The other would be a love for my intelligence. I honestly feel like a moron. I do not act like one and I bet this will come as a shock to those of you who know me irl but I feel very undereducated and stupid. I wish I could love my brain I guess! LOL that sounds funny.

4. Name the characteristics you think make a person worthy of being remembered for generations.

   Integrity. Honesty. Selflessness. Loving. Someone who always does the right thing. Even if no giant event occurs in their life. Someone with those characteristics are the kind of people kids should study in school.

5. If you and your family went into the federal witness protection program tomorrow, and you could choose your new life (career, where you live, etc.) what would your new life look like?
   
   I would want to live in a small town in Minnesota and work on the set of a Prairie Home Companion. Maybe play drums or something. But definitely some place away from the busy life in southern California.

   Alright, Let me know if you wanna play too by leaving a comment with your email address or email me at thebadguy@gmail.com and I will get back at ya! Be prepared for some wacky questions.

   Thanks again Viv!!!
