Mind of Mike: The Next Chapter

        Yep, you heard right. For those who haven’t heard, we’re going to be having a little girl in Feb. We were both hoping for a boy, but we’re still happy that we’re having a girl. Best part is, we already have a name picked out. Her name is Claire Madison Hillyard. And wow, it just hit me hard seeing her name actually typed out. I’ve said the name to myself a few times before, but it didn’t ever hit me. Guess some things you just have to see for yourself. I can’t wait to actually hold her for the first time. And then again, I’m scared. I just don’t know what it’s going to be like to be a father. I sometimes ask myself if I’m really ready for this or not. Then again, who really is when the time comes. So many questions and concerns, and yet, so many things to look forward to. Guess it’s also time to start thinking about personal protection for my new family. A 1911 .45 acp is sounding quite nice for that area.

        It’s an odd topic to blog about, but those who know me know I’m not much for fruit. There is one fruit that I’ll eat any time of the day, any day. That fruit ladies and gentlemen, is pineapple. Before last year I didn’t care for the fruit. I didn’t really like pina colada’s or anything pineapple flavored for that fact. One day at lunch, my dad bought lunch and bought me a sandwich and a fruit cup. The cup consisted of kiwi, strawberries, and pineapple. I was really hesistant on eating the pineapple. I started with the strawberries, then tried the kiwi for the first time. It was actually pretty good. The seeds in the fruit gave it a nice texture to eat. After that, I decided to try the pineapple. I didn’t want to be rude and leave it in the cup. I took one bite, and it was over from there.

        I blog this now cause I just finished a big cup of pineapple. Lol. I’ve found myself actually trying to dig up change just so I can buy a pineapple cup. Some friends find it actually quite funny. In my opinion, it’s a fun fruit to eat. The texture is perfect. Kind of like that of an orange, but more chunky. Wish the fruit wasn’t so expensive. If I knew how to cut a pineapple, I’d buy those in bulk and just have the top shelf filled with pineapple chunks. I’m starting to think it’s getting to the obsessive point. Just thinking of pineapple makes my mouth water. If 711 made a pineapple slurpee again, I’d be over it like a fat kid on a cup cake! I just love pineapple!

        My girlfriend is laughing at me and calling me a dork right now as I write this. Guess this is what I get for always laughing at her and making fun of her on a daily basis. Just glad she knows how to take a joke and sarcasm. Otherwise, I’d be a single man right now
