Post Titles Are Too Hard To Think Of

Since someone is a quitter (Mr. Dees), I now feel obligated to entertain all of blog world with the excitement of my life on a more regular basis. After all, my mom did used to tell me that "the Magees aren't quitters." I hated it when she said that. Fair warning though before we embark on this semi-daily journey: it will be very very boring.

I'm getting fat. Growing up I was always incredibly skinny, I could eat anything I wanted to and my crazy metabolism would just take care of it for me. Well something happened in the past few years. Six years ago I weighed around 145 lbs. and I now weigh right under 190. Since Mother Allison is still trying to lose some of her left-over baby weight, we figured we would go on a diet. Diets suck, we've only been on it for about three days and I hate it. There's no reason to live anymore. For lunch I used to eat a chili-cheese burger, cheddar peppers with ranch dipping sauce, mini fried apple pies with caramel dipping sauce, and a large coke. Yesterday for lunch I ate a grilled chicken sandwich with nothing on it, fruit, and a water. Now I'm always hungry.

Avery went to the doctor yesterday and got her shots. She is almost 28 inches long which means only 5 percent of girls her age are taller than her. I don't know why but I'm proud of the fact that I have a giant viking sized baby. Avery just learned how to reach for people to hold her. She reaches out for me the most for some reason.

Last entry's trivia answer was: Cochran, The bonus answer: Hermes

Today's trivia: On Saved by the Bell, what was the slogan for Screech's spaghetti sauce?

Daily Memory:
When I was in the sixth grade, my mom, my sister, and I got rear ended and our car got stuck on some train tracks. We heard a train coming so we jumped out. We watched as the train slammed into our car and threw it about fifty or so yards into some trees. My mom and sister screamed and cried. I thought it was awesome.

Happy Late Birthday Utility Al

An Actual New Post


Wow, here I am. I didnt think I would ever post again but my fans demanded it (all two of them). Its been three months since I posted last and as you can see, Avery has grown a good bit. She'll be six months old in a week. She now talks gibberish, can almost crawl, can almost sit up by herself, reaches for everything, still has trouble growing much hair, and is incredibly spoiled. She cries and whines whenever shes left alone. We've created a monster. I shouldve posted a picture of myself at her age to show how much she looks like me at that age. I was actually a cute kid until I hit puberty and then I got all awkward and ugly. This weekend we are getting her baptized. I'm a little worried about that situation because shes a little older than kids usually are when they get baptized. It will probably be a disaster but I'm sure I will look back at it and laugh.

Hmm.... What else has happened since the last post...... We bought a new car. An 08 Accord, a family sedan. This is the first time I've ever had to make car payments and it sucks. Daycare + Insurance + Food + House Payment + Car Payment + etc= nothing, well I guess it equals depression.

Beach Trip 2008 occurred also. I wanted to call it "The Squeaky Fifth Wheel Gets The Grease Trip 2008" but Matt got another person to go so that ended that. Mother Allison had to leave Daughter Avery for the first time but she made it through okay. The water in the gulf was brown, stinky, and freezing cold but the condo was awesome and we had a good time. Utility Al buried Matt in the sand. I think Mother Allison took a picture of it, I need to find it and put it in the next blog post.

The asnwer to the post before the last post's trivia from three and a half months ago was armadillo (if I remember correctly).

This post's trivia: On Full House, Uncle Jesse's last name was changed to Katsopolis. What was his original last name?
Bonus: Jesse was his nickname, what was his given first name?
