My Sexy Wife is the Best

In 2 weeks Nicki will give birth to our 3rd (and final) child (barring a miracle), Hailey Elizabeth “Stallone” Carnes. For those who know me, you understand the Stallone. Anyway, this post is dedicated to my smokin’ hot wife, who I am blessed to be with.

She not only is fully pregnant and deals with two wild and crazy boys at home, but she also runs a business from home making purses and totes (Pursenickity), on top of keeping the house clean, having dinner ready when I get home from the office or the gym, laundry, the household accounting (she used to do that professionally), and so much more that I could list but you would not have time to read. I think you get my point. She is awesome and hot!

Pet Peeve

I have a serious pet peeve and its not that Instanbul will not let you use your laptop while in the bathroom.

Its that so many people do not wash their hands when leaving the restroom. I was in the mall not too long ago and a man finished doing his business in one of the stalls, I was at one of the 4 sinks washing my hands when he walked out without washing his. As I walked out of the restroom the guy was several feet in front of me and happened to be walking in the same direction I was headed to meet back up with my wife, the next thing I know he walks up to his girlfriend and wrapped his arms around her. So I stopped. He was probably a high school age guy, so he was doing what a lot of teenage guys do best, feeling up his girlfriend in public. I kind of laughed to myself, I seriously wanted to walk over and ask the girl if she knew where her boyfriends hands had just been before he decided to come share the love.

A recent study claims that 90% of women wash their hands when leaving the restroom and only 75% of men wash their hands. I don’t know where they came up with their data but I would have to disagree based on personal observation of all them men who do their business and walk right out the door!

A Rap Worth Listening To

I watched this over at Pete’s blog yesterday and had to go back this morning to listen to it again. My favorite part is “Send Me I’ll Go” because that sums up where my heart is right now.

Small Steps to Making Huge Impacts

My new blog friend Brad Ruggles had this post and this post on his blog for the past couple of days. The conversations have been great, a little rough at times, but honest and interesting to say the least.

I want to continue to conversation here…
