Wednesdays Word

Todays word: Change

Definition from Dictionary.com: make the form, nature, future course, etc., of different from what it is or from what it would be if


My definition of change is making different from the normal and everyday. To change is to make whatever it is different.

Seriously, as I was writing this a song came on the radio with the word change in it, a million times. Crazy how things occur.

Our Sunday

This past Sunday, Lauren and I had the day off together. Lauren spent most of the day in the kitchen (which is always a good thing for me). I cleaned the house and got all my crap picked up and put away. She made these delicious chocolate chip cookies. She was not pleased with the way they came out but I sure was. She also made these amazing pretzels! The reason why the one is black is because it is a cinnamon and sugar one. That one was for me. They came out great and Laure was pleased with these ones. We have eaten quite a bit of them already. We will definitely be making them again. I helped out on both of these makings.

Xbox to get new disc

Just saw a post on IGN talking about XBOX getting a new format for their disc. Not much was said but I figured I would post what was said on here.
"Microsoft is beginning a new public preview for Xbox 360 users as they prepare for an updated Xbox 360 disc format. Xbox Live Director of Programming Larry Hryb made the announcement this morning through his Major Nelson blog. "This is an important update as we continually strive to improve our products and we could not do so without the help of our great Xbox community," Hryb wrote. "As part of the preview program, you will receive a copy of Halo: Reach along with other possible rewards." Due to disc distribution, this preview is only available to U.S. residents. Users can head over to the official Xbox Live website to register. It's unclear at this time what the update will mean for Xbox 360 software going forward. Hryb told IGN in a separate e-mail this is not an update to Blu-ray discs, but could not provide any additional details at this time."

Wednesday's Word

Todays word: Late

Definition from dictionary.com: occurring, coming, or being after the usual or proper time

My definition of late is arrival after the alotted space provided

I chose late today because my Wednesday word is being posted on Friday. The first part of dictionary.com's definition was pretty confusing. After I read it a couple times it makes a little bit of sense. I quess even when you are late you still plan on "coming" to whatever it is you are late for.

I will try to post "Wednesday's word" on Wednesday's from now on

Rotation

The Red Sox rotation is set for the opening of the 2011 season

1. Jon Lester
2. John Lackey
3. Clay Buchholz
4. Josh Beckett
5. Dice-K

I love Lester getting the starting one. Shows that we believe he is our true number 1! No one in baseball deserves this more then him. From what he has gone through to now being the number 1 starter in the best team in baseball. Also the first Red Sox pitcher I ever saw pitch live in Boston!

Wednesday's Word!

Todays word: GIVE

Definition from dictionary.com: to present voluntarily and without expecting compensation

My definition of give is to supply someone/something with a physical or mental object (not so much object, also love or compassion)

What made me think of this word is what my brothers are doing in our community. They are using the act of give, giving their objects and time to the community. Give is a very very strong word. I know that I need to give more of what I have to offer in my community and my world. We get so caught up in our everyday lives and forgot that we need to take a break and give our time and effort not only to our family but to those that we do not know.

Improvements...Really?

Well, lets just say some improvements great. Others, horrible!

For my first improvement of writing more. Not only on here but also in some sort of book, I started out great but recently have not been doing it at all. How your improvements or resolutions always go, huh? I have to stick to this. I do not want to lose the few people who do read my blog because I am not using it. I hate when the people's blogs who I read do not post. So why the heck do I do it. I will get back to it!!!

My second improvement of starting to vlog. I have not done one at all. I have not even attempted to do it. I promise to have one up in the next month!

Third improvement of being fit and active. I have done a little bit of this. I try to walk Jemma as much as possible and take her for a longer walk than what we use to do. If she does her business and wants to go inside I just keep her out and walk her a little more. Also while I am at work, instead of just sitting on my butt when we are dead I will get up straighten the merchandise and walk around the store a couple times. I really need to start going the gym before we move and I do not have a gym.

For my fourth improvement looking good for my wife on my wedding day. Well I have not gotten married yet...so.

My fifth improvement of helping Lauren around the house and cooking has been amazing! I have focused my improvements on this the one the most. I do the dishes as much as possible. Dust the house every once in a while and vacuum quite often. Cooking wise I have improved a lot also. I will make our lunches every once in a while and make dinner for us as much as possible. I just made homemade chili the other night.

My last improvement of figuring out what I want to do for the rest of my life, I am still working on. I did get more hours at my job that I am at now and that is really helping. I work 36-40 hours a week now. I am so grateful for this opportunity that my bosses have given me. There are a few things I would like to do for the rest of my life, it is just a matter of figuring out the best one for Lauren and I.

So here is to improving my improvements!!!
