No TV is Good for the Soul

So I need to just come out and say this.....I don't have t.v. Don't get me wrong. I own a television. In fact it is a very large television that fits in perfectly with my entire basement t.v. viewing room. It is like my families own private theatre. The thing is, I don't have cable or rabbit ears or any channel for that matter. In the day of American Idol, Lost, House, and Survior, I am completely in the dark...and you know what? I like it. (I admit, I own season 1 & 2 of House on DVD and will get season 3 when it comes out)Not a single morning comes around where I think to myself, "Self - you should have really gotten of your arse yesterday night and done something around the house." That's right, I actually get to spend my evenings with my family playing games, talking, and playing outside. If anyone is in a rut...I recommend cutting out your t.v. (Just make sure someone you know keeps it so you can watch Husker football games and other sporting events)

In other news, I have lost 12 lbs in the "May the best Fatty Win" contest. I was down to 224 lbs the other day and I continue to get smaller. I have now started getting up a little earlier to ride my bike in the morning. That's right Jon, diet and excersise. I hope your legs will look good in a dress.

I hope all is well and I will be back later.

Toodles,

Twice the Enjoyment

So I haven't posted in a while and a couple fun things happened. We first went to Fort Morgan for a little mini-vacation. The whole family left on a Thursday and drove the 6.5 hrs (if you took it in a strait shot) to Colorado. I am still on the diet, so we ate at Wendy's for lunch. I had the Frascetta sandwich with baked Lay's and a Dasani. Karri had a plain cheeseburger that ended up being less calories then the sandwich. I gave up on the diet for the weekend after finding that out. Anyway, we "lived" with our friends the Oden's. It could have been the most relaxing weekend I have ever had. The kids all played will together, there was lots of down time with card playing and talking. We also visited all of our friends for each meal, which was a lot of fun. You don't realize how much you miss a place until you go back to visit. I was definitely not ready for work on Tuesday when I came back, but I was very refreshed and in a wonderful mood. I can't put into words how wonderful everything was. Thanks to everyone in Ft. Morgan for an awesome rest.

We also went to a farm sale in Elsie, NE on St. Paddy's Day. Karri's third cousin died and they sold all of his stuff, hence the pictures of the china below. I needed to post pictures on this site so I could show them on e-bay's discussion board to figure out what the pattern name was. Amazing people on e-bay, they will do a lot of research on something you have no idea about. I am very impressed. I also purchased a leaf blower (which I used yesterday), a mailbox, screwdrivers, a cooler, and a box of misc. goodies. (Crap, my wife would say) I also received a sunburn on my head for free. Good times at the farm sale. I LOVE them.

That is all I have for now, I"ll try not to bore you with my life stories next post (the 1 person that reads this...Thanks Tim)

Toodles,

May the Best Fatty Win!

So, if you haven't seen me lately, I am Fatty McFatterson. I weight more on a day to day basis then I ever have in my entire life. I have a huge belly and I can't see my wiener when I pee. This is very disturbing to me. My twin brother Jon is Chunky McChunkerson. He also has a large gut, but I'm not sure on the wiener thing. We are what lay people call obese. Jon called me in an uproar the other day and we decided to do something about it. We are having a contest!

Starting March 1, 2007 until May 18, 2007 (our birthday) Jon and I are going to see who can lose the most weight. I started the contest weighing 235 while Chunky weighed in at 241. Jon's goal is 220, while I want to hit about 210. The winner of this little contest gets to pick out the outfit of the loser for our Thanksgiving Bowling outing. It is a family tradition that after lunch on Turkeyday, the Rogge's go bowling. We always do dances for strikes and talk mad trash in a completely packed alley. This year will even be more interesting. I feel sorry for the loser. That is all I can say.

So any words of encouragement anyone can shout out to me would be great. (Like anyone really reads this anyway)

Let the Games Begin.
