The Wolfman!
I have a new favorite show… It’s called “Living with the Wolfman” on Animal Planet. For some reason I’m really into people who have mastered animal psychology and then push the limits of their knowledge by interacting with the animals they’ve studied. This guy (and his woman) is one of those guys.
He lives with a pack of wolves.
Charlie!
Well, we took the plunge.
My wife and I got our first dog! His name is Charlie, he’s a “Teddy Bear” breed which is a mix between a Shih-Tzu and a Bichon Frise. Sometimes referred to as a “Zuchon” or a “Shichon.” Non-hypoallergenic and all that good stuff!
He’s chillin the most right now on his beloved Chicago Bulls blanky.
I shall be picking up the Cesar Millan (Dog Whisperer) book very soon. He’s pretty much the best dog trainer/rehabilitation expert in the world. We’re gonna do it right!
Mexican Wives Club
There’s this club that my wife, Anna Perez, Missy Tapia and Teresa Soliz are heavily involved in. It’s called the “Mexican Wives Club.” The mission is simple: To learn how to effectively be the wife of a Mexican. My wife does well:
She knows exactly what to get her tejano husband at the grocery store.
Bedtime Sucks

Home Life I don’t like anything about bedtime.
All of the events leading up to bedtime wake me up more than they relax me:
1. Brushing my teeth
2. Changing my clothes
3. Walking around the house looking for my phone
4. Walking around my house with no lights on
5. Getting a dozen creative ideas at the moment I finally get sleepy
Holler if ya hear me.
Isn’t She Lovely?
I have this seemingly ongoing thing where I like to take candid shots of my wife and post them on my blog. Here she is sleeping:
It’s been her big birthday month… where I basically shower her with affection and unofficially make myself her slave. She’s wore out. She works hard… both vocationally and as a wife.
She’s perfect for me.
Love you boo!
Good Day

Home Life I had a good day today. And the funny thing is, it didn’t start until about 5:30pm (the goodness… that is… contrary to what you may think I did NOT sleep in that late).
I got to grill out and make dinner for my wife, which was a nice change of pace. Then we went to Menards and bought me a new lawn mower, which was long overdue. We also bought some blinds for our new windows which, too, was long overdue… meaning after this weekend my house will no longer look like a smaller branch of Dillards. Then we watched a pretty sweet movie called “Next” with Nicolas Cage where he can see 2 minutes into the future… which I’ll definitely be adding to my super-powers-I-wish-I-had list.
Simple. But good.
P.S. I don’t know why, but today was also an outburst of blogs I’ve been pondering. Sorry for leaving you hanging for the last week or so.
New Wheels
So here’s the verdict… I have decided to KEEP the black beauty (truck) and get myself a Yamaha Zuma!!! I was down in Springfield this weekend with the boys fir Kev’s wedding, and we came across a KILLER deal.
I’ve already been around the town on it… this thing rips. I filled it up for just under 4 bucks! Let the savings begin!
I’ve Got Some Dirt…

Home Life Really… good soil!
A few nights ago as Tif and I were outside working on our yard, our new neighbors decided to come over and introduce themselves (4 months late… but who’s counting?). The women started talking about decorating as us men began talking about landscaping and lawn care.
He then mentioned that he had this machine in his garage that could till up a garden in like 30 minutes… putting to shame the days it would have taken me with the new garden ho I had just bought from Menards! But I swallowed my pride and accepted his offer to let me use it for the rest of the week… for free!
It’s funny how kind and generous neighbors can be once they realize you actually care about how your house looks in the neighborhood.
So needless to say… I now have some very fertile looking soil in the front of my house ready for fresh flowers and a bed of mulch!. Thanks to Bob and… uh… his wife from across the street!
Not to mention, I think we’re up for the Neighbors-of-the-Year award.
New Living Room!

Home Life Shown below is my wife enjoying our new sectional. Above that is the shelves that we bought on our anniversary at IKEA. On the adjacent wall is an old table that I spray painted black. And all around the living room are the old beat up trailer windows that I shall start replacing this weekend…
Living Room Romance
No, this blog isn’t about sex.
Last night my wife and I had a time of just sitting in our living room talking. We talked about life, love and God. The night ended with the two of us laying in the middle of our living room floor with our fuzzy blanket on. She fell asleep while I handpicked a soundtrack for the moment which I played through our surround sound. She woke up on the song that she walked down the isle to for our wedding.
Credits rolling… Full of Z’s.
It’s these moments that I love.
She knows exactly what to get her tejano husband at the grocery store.
