Last week I arrived at work and it was -25 degrees with the windchill. We found out when we arrived at the station that the toques that we went out (that have police written on the front) and bought, we are no longer allowed to wear. We can't wear them because a certain somebody in our division decided that they do not look professional and according to our directive, are not issued by the police, so that means no more toques for us. Instead, we have to wear big ugly furry Russian furbies. These things do not cover our entire head, or ears so when you are directing traffic for 2 1/2 hours or taking photos outside in these temperatures, it gets really cold.
I really do not understand why a touque is not allowed, if you saw this russian hat we have to wear you would also think that a touque would look a little more professional.
So there is my vent of the week, why should it really matter what we have on our heads as long as we are staying warm and doing our job, do you not agree??

The workout
Well its been almost a year now since Jenn and I have been going to the gym. Last year I got off to a great start and could see a difference in myself. I even had other people commenting on how fit I was looking. Then came golf and ball season. The gym was non existent and the muscle that I had built up turned to flab.
Well its time to get back into it. I have made a deal with Jenn that I will get a six pack, not the keg that I have now. I did not realize how hard it is to get one. I do sit ups every day, run when I am at the gym, and it still is not there. I have cut back on the pop that i drink, and since I do not drink alcohol I do not have to worry about that. What else do I have to do, I am up for suggestions from people if you have any.
One thing I have noticed though is when i stand up straight I can see a difference, why do I slump I have no idea, however that is on the back of my mind, stand up straight and your gut goes away.
Well I am started again to get the body of a champion, I will keep you all updated and maybe one day show off my abs.

spoiling the wife
One thing I have realized about being married is that it is the responsibility of the husband to spoil the wife.
This is one thing that I love to do for the best and most beautiful wife in the world. When we first got married I have to admit I sucked at doing this, however I truly believe that I have gotten better at doing this.
Even though Jenn will say that she is not a princess, I believe that Shannon is slowly rubbing off, and i have to say I really like it. Not going into details however Jenn has come a long way, from her lumber jacket to a pee coat, running shoes to very sexy dress boots along with other things.
Over the holidays I decided to visit the world of Victoria's Secret, what great shopping they have, and I enjoy doing the spending. Jenn has not said much about the items that have been purchased for her, but they sure look good on her.
So to all you guys out there, lets get shopping and buy something for the peopel that we love, besides they do put up with us.
Well Feb 14th is coming up and us guys know that the women in our lives are expecting something from us. Well not to spoil the surprise but I do have something for my beautiful wife however she is going to have to wait to see what it is.
So Jenn I hope that I am doing my job and don't worry there are many more years and many more gifts for you from me.
To all my blogger fans out there, sorry it has taken so long however the stupid system would not let me log in, Jennifer had to figure it out for me. More to come soon.
