ughh no work today

[alice in chains]

My job is so slow today so I just went home. Been browsing forums and craigslist for free appliances to fix and resell and maybe gonna clean my house later, i guess it depends on what my wifey wants to do...pretty bored as of now.

anybody else bored out of their damn minds?

 

[Demonicpixie]

I'm bored as well. I've been out of a job for three months now due to illness, so not only am I stir crazy I can't really leave the house either. My fiance works the afternoon shift so I spend most of the day alone. Just me and the dog.

 

[alice in chains]

my wife stays at home too, i donno how she does it. it's hard to keep yourself motivated to stay busy and i've only been home 3 hours

 

[Demonicpixie]

It really can drive a person crazy if they don't have things to fill up the day. I'm hoping to get my health back in order so that I can get a job and get back out in the world. I'd rather have a job to complain about then have my all my conversations be with my dog LOL

 

[alice in chains]

im talking to my dog right now lol

 

[Demonicpixie]

Aw What kind of dog do you have?

 

[alice in chains]

a pitbull and a labrador/aussie shephard mix. they're really sweethearts just too damn rambunctious for my liking. i also have a tuxedo cat.

 

[Demonicpixie]

I have a chocolate lab named Bella Sue Grimm. My fiance and I got her when she was 2 months old. She's my baby.

 

[alice in chains]

cool! ive got tons of pictures of ours but i cant post them =( my camera card doesn't match my comps. format.

 

[Demonicpixie]

That sucks. Most of my pictures of Bella end up being taken on my cell phone. Her funny moments are so random and fast that I don't have time to grab my camera LOL but yeah, pets are awesome.

Do you and your wife have any children?

 

[alice in chains]

we're expecting our first on January 2nd! im really excited about it. what's scary is that i know that im stuck at my job now, haha. what about you?

 

[Demonicpixie]

How exciting! Congrats! Have you picked a name?

My fiance has a 10 year old son named Julian Michael. He and I have a great relationship, however I don't think I want kids of my own. Between my step son and my dog I'm content

 

[alice in chains]

Ethan Jeremiah Nowell Vargas. Nowell is my last name and Vargas is my wife's. She's Spanish and in their culture the child takes both last names. My wife wants 3 in total but I want us to both have good careers if that's the plan, lol. Personally I want to adopt if we have more.

 

[Demonicpixie]

My brother and I are both adopted =) adoption can be a wonderful thing.

That's quite a long name! My cousin's son is named Ethan, I think it's a nice name. Three kids could be quite an undertaking. You sir, have more patience then I

 

[alice in chains]

oh trust me we're waiting atleast several years before we have anymore...this one came as a surprise and luckily we're able to handle it right now lol

 

[Demonicpixie]

How old are you two? Julian was a surprise for Ben as well. Julian was born a few days after Ben turned 18. I was still in high school that year. Crazy to think about it now. I'm 27 and Ben is 28. Julian's mother is married and has a son with her husband named Zane. We all get along relatively well, it was kind of a prom night mistake kind of thing. I'm lucky that there's no baby mama drama to deal with. I couldn't take that kind of stress LOL

 

[alice in chains]

i just turned 26 and my wife will be 25 in april. my bro. has baby mama drama and i hope ill never have to put up with that crap i know it sux

 

[Demonicpixie]

Yeah, no thanks to that. I think Julian's mom is okay with me because I don't try to step on her toes as far as their parenting goes. I'm just kind of the cool stepmom who does fun things with him on the weekends. I guess Ben had a girlfriend a few years before me that would try to force Julian to call her "Mom" and stuff. Julian's mom didn't like her very much haha.
