I Love Summer

Hawk — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 23:38:16 +0000

Its summertime! All the kids are out of school. I see them playing in in the streets, at the park, and at the pool. To be honest, I’m a little jealous. Remember the summer days when you were young? Too young to work, but old enough to be bored at home. Roaming the streets on your bike. Spending your allowance on candy and movies. I can even hear the ice cream truck. What a great feeling. What I wouldn’t give for a day like that now! Can you imagine? What if, for just one summer day you could be a kid again. Wouldn’t that be great?! No responsibilities. No stress. No bills. No plans. Just a day to sleep in, swim at the pool, play at the mall, ride on the handlebars of your friend’s bike. Kids don’t realize how great they have it during the summer. Honestly, what do they have to worry about? Those days are short-lived. Before they know it, they’ll be grown up and facing the real world. Right now you’re probably sitting at work, in your office or at home, stressing about bills or your job…or something very adult-ish. What would you give for the day off? One day as a kid in the summer. I say we take it. I say we take the day off just to play. Do it…do it now! Go get some ice cream! Take off your shoes! Run in the sprinklers! Eat candy until you’re sick! See you at the pool! CANNONBALL !!!!

CHILD PROOFING

Hawk — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 22:22:58 +0000

Well now that Asa my 17 month old son is all over the place I think we have about child proofed everything. It seems as though I have said that same statement 6 times before and he seems to find new things to get into. We’ve locked the cupboards, plugged up the outlets, gotten rid of the deadly chemicals etc….. But I still am having trouble with him eating the cat food. Every time we turn around he is eating something and most of the time he has been in the cat dish. I’m kinda getting nervous because the kitty litter box is right beside the cat food dish. One of these days we are gonna walk in and him eating cat poop. I guess at every new stag of his life I’m gonna have to child proof something new. My buddy told me when he is a teenager I’ll need to child proof my bank account…..can’t wait. thanks again for reading ….hawk

Why does it rain everytime I wash my car

Hawk — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 23:09:14 +0000

What a day. I spent 2 hours washing my car. Just as I was finishing up it started raining. Really…..Come on!!!!!! It took me 30 minutes just to unwind the waterhose and them another 15 to put it back. I shined up all the tires washed the windows with windex the whole nine yards. I have decided to just now wash my car anymore unless the yard needs watering. Also why is it when you plan a day at the pool it always rains. You know the only way to ensure a warm sunny nice day is to offer to help a friend move or volunteer to drive my mother-in-law to the airport. The TV weather men should just call me and ask if I am going to wash my car and thats how they could predict rain or shine…….But I’m not bitter I just am a bitter blogger. Whatever that means….thanks for reading my nonsense…hawk

Security Tag Mishap

Hawk — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 20:20:08 +0000

Hey, hope things are better at your house than mine. I think my wife is going to jail. Wow… my wife the fugitive. Well, I thought so anyway. She was trying on some clothes the other day right after she had returned from the mall and she noticed a security tag still on the blouse. Being the manly man I ain’t I said let me see if I can get the security tag off. After hours of trying to remove it with a screwdriver and hammer I just handed it back to her with a look of shame…..her man had let her down…again. As I was thinking of how to get it off the shirt I thought to myself….will the store clerks really believe me if I try to take it back. Also when you are taking it back will the security machine beep as you are walking back into the store….. What a dilemma…. You know how embarrassing it is when you walk out of a store and the beepers go off. Everyone is looking at you, the greeter has you up against the wall frisking you before you know what has happened…….Ok maybe I’m exaggerating a little… Anyway, I ask if that had happen to anyone on the show and Tom said he’d had it happen to him before. He said it wasn’t a big deal just take it back with a reciept. One lady called in and said it had happen to her. She said just put it into the freezer and leave it overnight and then when you try to get the security tag off the next morning the ink will be frozen. So if this hapens to you now you know what to do. .

Hit a deer with my Jeep

Hawk — Wed, 12 May 2010 23:13:37 +0000

Well if you haven’t heard the latest I hit a deer on my way to work. I was driving down Scuffletown Rd. about 5:15 when all of a sudden I see this deer. I slowed down thinking to myself ……hey…….I almost hit that ddddeeeeerrrr (bam). Yep just as the first one crossed over the 2nd deer was traveling behind. He or she wasn’t so lucky. I felt so bad all day long…… I had killed Bambi’s Mom. The funny thing is( if there is such a thing when speaking of death) I happen to be listening to the fireflies song by Owl City. That is one of the happiest songs ever making references about nature and all. Since then ever one has told me that if you see one deer watchout because there is probably another following behind. I did find out that if you hit any kind of animal deer, racoon, dog , cat, cow, etc… the insurance company calls it an act of nature and usually you are covered for any damage done to the automobile…… I don’t know why the county puts up all those deer crossing signs because the deer read the signs and think its ok to cross here…..Well no it’s not if I’m driving…..thanks for reading …hawk

Little Boys and Caterpillars

Hawk — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 22:03:17 +0000

Well recently Asa (my 16 month old) has loved playing outside. Of course I have hacked and cough my way through the pollen this year………. it doesn’t seem to bother him. Well being so young he is curious about everything. He chases the birds the rabbits the squirrels and anything that catches his eyes, including bugs. I must say he is all boy. He doesn’t mind being sweaty and dirty and apparently he doesn’t mind wierd things in his mouth like….ah……well…..caterpillars. As he was playing in the backyard I was busy doing dad things like wrapping up the waterhose. When I turned around Asa had a caterpillar hanging halfway out of his mouth. It wasn’t dead but the little fuzzy worm was hanging on for dear life as my son ran around the yard. I finally caught him and carefully pulled the little caterpillar out of his mouth and tried to explain why he should not do that….I don’t think he cared. So if you see a beautiful butterfly later this summer take the time to appreciate it…. and wonder to yourself was that the caterpillar that hawk saved from his son…. thanks for letting me bore you with kid stories….hawk

Vacation in Charleston

Hawk — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 17:43:41 +0000

It’s been awhile and I hope all is well in your life. I just got back from a little spring break vacation. We decided to go to Charleston for a few days. Rebecca and I loved the South Carolina Aquarium. We saw the new albino alligator. He was creepy, pasty white and lazy…….. just setting there lickin’ his chops ready to eat. Kinda reminded me of Tom staring at his breakfast. If you get a chance to go make sure you check him out. Also our friend Beth took us behind the scenes to see their turtle hospital. They help the sea turtles like you see in the movie Finding Nemo. Yo Dude……… Did you know some breeds of turtles breath out there bottom……talk about bad breath. So if you go to Charleston make sure you stop by the Aquarium. And another tip while on vacation in the big city is to make sure you stay at the old Military Academy Citadel. It is now the Embassy Suites Historical District Hotel. Cool atrium and great service and best of all great location. Check it out on the Hawk and Tom facebook page. Me and the family will be heading back soon. As I type this I realize it kinda like making you look at my vacation pictures…..sorry.

Laughing during Prayer

Hawk — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 21:37:12 +0000

You probably know my father was a preacher. That’s right I am a preachers kid and you know what they say about the preachers kids……well that is true. I remember going to church when I was in the second grade and me and my friend Jeff Tayes sat on the front row while my dad preached. I’ll never forget the time he and I started talking while my dad was preaching and right in the middle of his sermon he stopped ……looked down at Jeff and I and said “Boy don’t make me come down there”. Needless to say I didn’t say a word for the rest of the message. Oh yea, I got a big whoopin’ when I got home. I’ll never forget that story and is always funny to think on. It kinda ties in with my latest story at home. Asa my son is now 15 months old. Every night before we eat out dinner I pray a short little prayer to bless our food. Rebecca and I always close our eyes and I pray aloud. Well when I finish we look up and Asa has the biggest smile on his face and always giggles. He must think mommy and daddy are playing a joke on him. It always cracks us up. You know………. you have to think whats going on in there little minds at that age. Just wanted to share….take care hawk

Got Stuck In a Parking Garage

Hawk — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 00:10:27 +0000

Have you ever got stuck in a parking garage? Well it happen to me over the weekend. I went on a trip with my poker buddies. We were in Savannah Georga and had to park downtown. We wanted to eat at the Paula Dean’s Lady and Sons Resturant. We had rented a Big Van Kinda like a church bus and the top of the van measured 6 foot 6 inches. (Which happend to be clearance at the parking garage) Well we were ok getting into the garage but getting out was another story. When coming down the law of physics did not allow us to make it and we got stuck under a beam. That is when thinks got fun. We had a line of traffic behind us blowing horns and sweat pouring down……..awkward……. Well this is when the testosterone kicked in. All my buddies said let’s let the air out of our tires so the van will lower 2-3 inches…needless to say it worked…… I am glad that my poker buddies are inovative because I would still be in the garage if it weren’t for them…..Now you know

Valentines Day

Hawk — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 21:38:28 +0000

Well the big day of love is coming up this weekend. My 3 year old niece calls it Valentimes Day. You know there is a lot of thought that goes into the the valentines gift ladies. We men suffer for days trying to think of the perfect gift. So if it is not exactly what you wanted Just smile and say thanks honey . Last year I got my wife a gift and told her it was the thought that counted and she said well you better think again…..lol….well I really didn’t laugh out loud on that one. What is the initial for a little giggle LG. Anyway just know we are trying even if it is flowers and a card from Hallmark. Someone told me that he even got his mother-in-law a valentines day card and flowers. That just ain’t right… I have to draw the line somewhere. Hope you have a great Valentimes Day.
