It’s a boy!

The last I heard, the official name was TBA... or else I would introduce you. Juli and her new baby... I call this one 'Blue Steel'... Everything went well... Juli had a baby boy at 6:56 a.m. I pulled an all-nighter in the waiting room before driving back to Mattoon for work. I'm glad I got to come, even if they don't like any of my name suggestions (Wentworth, Thor, Franz). Congratulations Juli!

Change of plans
General (0)
I was going to go home tonight and work out, make some meals for the next few days and get some laundry done while I edited down my shoot for the Chicago Tribune today... but Mal got THE call from Juli, and I left work without clocking out or anything (oops) to drive to Danville. I'll be hanging out in the waiting room at Provena United Samaritans Medical Center for the next several hours. The only thing I know about pregnancy and childbirth is that it involves a lot of gross bodily fluids, but apparently things are going well right now. A ...

Deep thoughts

(Mattoon, Ill.| 01/09/2006| ISO 100| 50mm| 1/15 @ f1.8) On my quest for a daily photo for myself, I wandered through the old warehouse at work where the presses used to be. I'm pretty sure I will find a few fun things back there to take pictures of, including these helmets hanging on the wall. I've heard it said that 'Home is Where You Hang Your Hat'... what about these guys? When we still printed the paper on our presses this was where they worked. Now, in the empty warehouse where the presses used to be, no one even knows these helmets are ...

Careful…

Don't come near me... I'm liable to eat you. I'm so hungry. I've eaten a pound of lettuce, 2 pounds of carrots, 2 green peppers, 2 tomoatoes, a pound of strawberries, a few onions, some garlic, a pound of almonds, a few gallons of water and some grilled chicken this week on my new diet. I've been fine up until today, and now I'm starving. Luckily I get my cheater meal tomorrow. I think I'm going to go to Arby's. The French dip sounds good right now. I'm going to apologize for talking about the diet so much, but it's all I can think ...

Don’t be jealous of my muscles.

They look more like big flotation devices than muscles... So the new diet is going well. I had to veto the V8 tonight though. That is just nasty. I'm still trying to get used to eating a "serving" instead of a "plateful"... it's getting easier. I've lost four pounds in four days on it, so whatever it takes, I'll do. At this rate I'll weigh -100 pounds by the end of the year. Now playing: "Dirty Little Secret" The All-American Rejects Move Along

Call off the search party…

For all three of you that read this, I'm still alive, It's OK. Things have been busy with work, my new diet/ workout plan, sleeping from the lack of caffeine... you get the idea. I hope everyone had a great holiday season, mine went really well (except for working on both holidays, but oh well). I promised a list of my resolutions, so here it goes: Lose weight - I don't have any set amount I want to lose, I just want to feel healthy and not look like Ariel Sharon. On the morning of Jan. 1, I weighed 257 pounds. As long as ...
