Here of course. Well, at least down the road from here.
Guess what?……

The Farty Pants Twins, my wife, me plus some others are going to be on Television. More details later. No really, I have no details yet. My wife just informed me tonight that it will be May 25th.

The 3rd birthday party and the price of happiness….
By dad2twins on May 6, 2008 in All is right with the world, Buddies, Farty Pants Twins, Featured, Random thoughts..., What was I thinking? | 7 Comments
Oh, and I bought the cake twice it appears. My wife went down and ordered the ice cream cake and paid for it, and then I went and picked it up and paid again. Now we will see if Baskin Robbins gives me a hard time when I ask for my refund.
Otherwise, it was a success. 20 or so kids, 13 family members and some parents to boot. About 40 people in our house and backyard. No one bled, cried, or died. So, we should not expect any lawsuits.
One benefit to having twins, you get both birthdays out of the way at once. One non-benefit to having twins, you have to pay for it all at once. I’ll take the twins any day though.
Here is the family picture as proof.
Editors note: I know their 3rd birthday was a while back, but Daddy finally got home to help celebrate it with them so we postponed the party for a week or two.

File under: “Life’s a bitch”

I am fortunate. I have a job that affords me a lot of free time. There are times of the year that I can take time off and not even call it vacation. I like my job for the most part.
But….
There are times of the year when I work 70-80 hour weeks and I have to be away from home Monday morning through Friday evening. This leaves my lovely bride, and the mother of our children, to do EVERYTHING at home.
and…
I don’t get to see them or hang out with them for a whole week.
For the last 2 months, my job has kept me away. I come home Friday night around 8PM and leave Monday morning around 7AM.
well….
This is hopefully the last week I will have to do this. Seriously, it’s about time. No, I’m not quitting. The busy season is just over. Finally.

This is not my child, but I thought it was funny so I’m posting it here. I love the fact that the older brother has no reaction at all during the whole video.

It’s participation time at Dad2twins.com (Where have you been?)
By dad2twins on Apr 15, 2008 in Did I ask for your advice?, Featured, Random thoughts..., What was I thinking? | 6 Comments
I am fortunate that I get to travel a lot. My family likes to do family vacations in far away destinations. When my Dad was alive he would pick these great locations for us to visit. They would usually involve warm weather and beaches. My Mom is continuing the travel tradition. With a little more variety though. We are about to pack up the kids and join the rest of the family on a visit to Tahiti and New Zealand this Summer (Their Winter). We can’t wait.
That got me thinking. How many states and countries have I been to in my lifetime. Keep in mind I visit Germany often to visit my Wife’s family. So European countries are heavy on my list.
I would love to know how many States and Countries you’ve been to as well. What was your favorite?
(Editors note: I was once with a few band and we traveled a lot. That is where most of these states on the list came from. Many years of playing dive bars and college towns. Also driving mile after mile with stinky band mates. Oh the fun.)
Here is my list as of today:
States in the U.S.A. visited in Alphabetical order:
- Arizona
- California (Home State) (My favorite State)
- Colorado
- District of Columbia (not really a state)
- Florida
- Georgia
- Hawaii
- Illinois
- Indiana
- Kansas
- Kentucky
- Louisiana
- Maine
- Massachusetts
- Nevada
- New Hampshire
- New Mexico
- New York
- North Carolina
- Oregon
- Rhode Island
- Tennessee
- Texas
- Utah
- Vermont
- Virginia
- Washington
- Wyoming
Countires (Not Alphabetical)
- Denmark
- The Netherlands (Holland)
- France
- United Kingdom (England, Northern Ireland)
- Ireland (The Republic of) (My Favorite Country)

Do you use LinkedIn?

As Dad2twins I’m well connected all over the net. I will do anything to pimp my blog to the rest of the blogosphere. I follow Statcounter and Google Analytics like a scientist trying to guess the next Earthquake. I’m on Twitter. I’m on MyBlogLog and Technorati, and cre8buzz and Feedburner and BlogRush and, well you get the point. Oh did I mention Pheedo and BlogCatalog and Fuel My Blog? There is more, but I will stop.
Now let’s talk about my professional life. I need a professional life because Dad2twins is not making me nearly enough money to feed my family, pay into the Farty Pants Twins college fund and keep my wife in the nice things she deserves. Besides, my professional life is where I should be connected. That’s where to many organizations and networking groups are that can help me advance my career. RIght?
Now I’ve tried MySpace and hated it. Besides, it’s not really for professionals as far as I can tell. I have never tried Facebook. Is it worth my time? Or is it also for college kids and music junkies looking for the next great band?
Then there is LinkedIn. I needed something to connect my professional life to the internet. Something that had a social component to it. I had many of my clients ask me if I was on LinkedIn. Finally, I jumped on board. I like it for the most part. It keeps me connected to my clients. I find that I communicate more with them than I would have without LinkedIn. As of this post I have 85 connections. Not too bad. I find that the competitiveness comes out in me and I am shooting for 100. As I live and breath, I will make 100 connections or I will feel the complete failure. I have friends with several hundred connections. How is that? How do they know more people than me. They are my friends. I know there friends. Okay, I don’t know their clients, but 300? Come on, really? 500. Now you are just lying.
So, I am a Linkedin Junky.
“Hi, my name is Lance Hulsey and it has been several hours since my last login.”
There is no hope for me. I refuse to upgrade to a paid LinkedIn account. I want 100 connections for free. I CAN do it. I MUST do it. I WILL do it.
Can you help a guy out? If you are on LinkedIn. Connect to me and I promise I will approve your connection.
Come on, you know you want to. Help a guy get to 100. Please!

Cool new Amazon add format….
By dad2twins on Apr 12, 2008 in Farty Pants Twins, Featured, How cool is this - Products and Services | 3 Comments
Check out this cool new Amazon add format. It is called carousel. I like it. In the interest of full disclosure, I get money if you buy a book through this link. Think of it as contributing to the Farty Pants Twins college fund. Enjoy your shopping experience.
