New Title!

Someone at work (I don't want to name names so I'll just call him Tommy R.) said they got a kick out of the title of my first post. So I thought about it and it seemed like its even better than my current title. So I changed it.

Jack Bauer

Have you ever wanted to feel like a secret agent tuff guy? I do that every time I change Oliver's diaper. Because little boys when diaper-less like to pee in the open. They must like the freedom or something. So every time I change his diaper it's like I'm disarming a bomb. A frantic race against time. Like my survival depends on getting that new diaper on as fast as humanly possible before I get hosed. It's been a little over 3 months and he hasn't got me yet.

Plus it makes diaper changing not feel so much like a chore.

LOST is back!

I have been waiting for this moment for a year now. Tonight is the night! I'm so excited to pick up on this show and see what's in store now. Questions that I'd like to see answered this season:

1. Where did the Island go?
2. How do the "Oceanic 6" find it to go back?
3. What's the deal with Claire?
4. Is Jin really dead?
5. Will we learn any more about what the Black Smoke Monster is?
6. Who the heck is Jacob?
7. How did Ben become such bad mother (as in his Jason Bourne moves)?
8. How did Locke die?
9. How did the Island move?
10. When will the team from Fringe get on the case and solve the whole thing?

Any more questions from you Lost fans out there? We're going to have a Lost premiere viewing party with our fellow Lost friend's the Murdock's. Sooooo excited! Bring on the polar bears!

Bored

Hey, I'm just bored. What do you do when you're bored? I need some suggestions and please don't tell me to read a book. My brain can't handle that. All the TV's are being used also. The internet is just a wide vacuum of junk mostly.

I'll take all suggestions for the next time I'm bored. Please feel free to post all ideas.

My 2 Little Fellas

Okay, so I wanted to show off my 2 boys (Casey and Oliver). I'm going to try to post more later this week if I can. Just wanted to show off my (and my wife's) handiwork. Oliver is only 3 months old and looks like he's 6 months because he's already 14 lbs and growing fast.

It's a Hard Blog Life.

Hey, so here I am starting my first blog (my old MySpace account doesn't count). Here goes... nothing? I think Bethany is going to do a family blog so I'm just doing this on my own. Thought I'd give it a whirl (you're going to see my infatuation with parenthesis). At best with work I can probably just update it about once a week.

First I guess I should introduce myself (though if you are reading this you already know me so what's the point? Well you're going to have to read it anyway). My name is Russell Allen Smith and I grew up a Navy brat. I say that because I've been around. I claim Hampden, Maine as my home because that's where I went to all of junior high and high school after my Pops retired from the service.

I'm married to a wonderful girl named Bethany (who somehow puts up with me) and have 2 boys, Casey Allen (just turned 3) and Oliver Ruben (just turned 3... months - I don't have twins). I just recently turned 30 and I can't believe it though from looking at me you'd say I was in my early 20's. If I drank (Mormon here) I'm sure I'd be carded all the time.

I work for Progressive (auto claims adjuster). It's not my dream job (ball boy for the Yankees) but it pays the bills and keeps the fam in health and dental insurance. Plus it has a pretty rockin' visual plan.

That's about as good as an intro that I can give ya under short notice. I got to go help make the vittles (dinner for you young folk).

Blog you later,
Russ
