No running again today.  Gonna wait so that this bronchitis doesn't become pneumonia.

But...I did meet a new blogger today!  Runningafterbabies was as charming in real life as she is on the blog.  And she is definitely pregnant.  Boy is she pregnant.  Unfortunately for her the weather wasn't quite as warm as the text books say it is about Phoenix.  Hopefully I'll be able to post a picture soon when she emails it to me.

Tonight I'll be spending the night in the hospital with Emily so my wife can spend it at home.  Let's hope Emily gets to go home tomorrow.

sleep well and in the mean time, dream of LARGE women! (just not large pregnant ones...that would just be creepy)

From Burt on Sun, Feb 06, 2011 at 04:04:03 from 206.213.40.111

Princess Bride. Melody's not quite as pregnant as you were when I met you. And believe me, I had a lot of dreams about you.

From Burt on Sun, Feb 06, 2011 at 04:04:19 from 206.213.40.111

Just trying to creep you out.

From allie on Sun, Feb 06, 2011 at 15:39:32 from 67.2.42.120

did emily get to come home yet? am i behind because i haven't been on facebook? i'll go check it out. hope all is well with her and your family.

isn't melody great? how fun that you were able to meet. i am going to start my own list: bloggers i've met in real life who have met burt.

From Burt on Sun, Feb 06, 2011 at 16:11:31 from 206.213.40.111

allie - They say Emily will be able to come home tomorrow. Right now she's resisting the urge to fall asleep. You should see it. Just lay down baby. LOL! This is great. Anyway, Melody is so nice. It was great that she took some time out to let me stop by for a few moments. Her husband is nice, too. And nice looking.

From nicole on Sun, Feb 06, 2011 at 17:12:30 from 67.170.24.135

Thinking good thoughts for Emily and your bronchitis - that sounds horrible!

From Burt on Sun, Feb 06, 2011 at 17:14:41 from 206.213.40.111

Thanks Nicole!

From runningafterbabies on Sun, Feb 06, 2011 at 19:18:41 from 24.10.211.135

It was really nice meeting you. And I'm still disappointed I'm not coming home with a nice tan. PM me your email and I'll get that photo out to you.

From runningafterbabies on Sun, Feb 06, 2011 at 19:19:22 from 24.10.211.135

And aren't you on the ball??? I'm on your "real life" list. Yay!

From Bonnie on Sun, Feb 06, 2011 at 19:29:10 from 64.119.33.134

SO cool that Emily will be home tomorrow and you got to meet Melody! how awesome!

From Burt on Sun, Feb 06, 2011 at 20:13:56 from 206.213.44.111

Melody - It was fun to meet you, too. You can blame me for the weather. It's all good. Luckily there's wifi at the hospital so I can blog. I've been here ever since I left you guys yesterday.

Bonnie - Melody is super cool. Have you met her? There's plenty of bloggers that you have met that I haven't. So I am a little jealous.

From catherine on Sun, Feb 06, 2011 at 23:58:59 from 98.202.112.51

Cute picture!

From Bonnie on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 11:49:49 from 128.196.228.134

Hi Burt, I have not met melody, but I do like her blog. You have met many more bloggers than I Burt -- I know some of them from when I lived in SLC, but I am pretty sure my list is shorter than yours (you win ;-) ) -- but you are more gregarious than me.

have a great week, hope Emily is home this morning!

From Rye on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 12:11:56 from 75.167.131.224

Okay... Where was that picture taken from? The green scenery looks famaliar, something that we had around Idaho about 5 months ago..

From Burt on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 12:27:08 from 206.19.214.144

Catherine - I think the right half of the picture is more cute than the left half. Even my wife agrees.

Bonnie - The doctor is writing the discharge orders now :)

Rye - This picture is taken at the Arizona Biltmore. This building was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. It's got an interesting history. Melody can tell you all about it.

From Lily on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 12:47:58 from 67.199.181.73

Fun Burt. Someday you and I will meet and it's going to be quite entertaining I am sure.

From Burt on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 12:52:08 from 206.19.214.144

Lily - it will be entertaining when I rip those huge earrings out of your lobes.

From Lily on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 12:53:55 from 67.199.181.73

...followed by me ripping out your sweaty chest hair to add to your salad.

Now settle down and have some dip.

From Burt on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 12:55:05 from 206.19.214.144

That is my kind of entertainment.

From Merri on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 12:55:32 from 160.7.252.148

Good luck to little Emily! I hope she's home now and her Daddy is giving her everything she wants. If not go buy her some my little ponies right now.

From Burt on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 13:04:18 from 206.19.214.144

Merri - she gets to come home this afternoon sometime, but then she goes right back for a sleep study.

From Lily on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 13:05:11 from 67.199.181.73

I could use a sleep study. Studying the inside of my eyelids fo sho

From Nan on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 13:08:37 from 24.9.105.113

Glad to hear Emily is coming home. I think standing next to Mel actually makes you look more handsome, Burt.

Lily-I happened to be eating a sandwich with sprouts as I read your comment and suddenly I was tasting Burt's chest hair. Thank you for that.

From Burt on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 13:13:52 from 206.19.214.144

Nan - you made me laugh so hard (not out loud.) I'm picturing you dry spitting all the sprouts out. Melody does have a way of making even the ugliest of us look good. But then again, so do you. Or maybe that was my Nacho Libre mask?

From Derunzo on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 14:10:17 from 65.220.66.195

Emily's a trooper! Tough as nails... like her Papi.

From The Quiet Pirate on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 14:24:24 from 152.26.59.252

hope you're feeling better!

From runningafterbabies on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 15:11:15 from 24.10.211.135

Thanks to your popularity my quantcast is the highest it's been in months!

From Burt on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 16:30:26 from 206.213.44.111

Funzo - she's tougher than her papi.

QP - thanks. Went to the doc this morning. Got some steroids. I should be great soon. And strong. And impotent.

RAB - You're funny. I told you I would make you famous.

From Benn Griffin on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 18:47:10 from 96.233.182.114

Emm and I are interested in buying P90 from you. Can you send the info to me?

jamminlongtime@yahoo.com

Thanks!

Benn

From Burt on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 23:37:00 from 72.223.90.79

Actually Benn, just click on the link on the right hand side of the page that says Independent Beachbody Coach. Then click on Shop. Then click on Fitness Programs. Then P90X. Also, be aware that if you've ever purchased anything from Beachbody before, you'll need to contact customer service and let them know that you I get the credit for the sale. Thanks!

From ChrisM on Tue, Feb 08, 2011 at 14:22:14 from 217.171.129.72

hope emily gets to go home soon, and you can get rid of the bronchitis soon!

Maybe one day I will get to meet Burt....

From Rhett on Tue, Feb 08, 2011 at 15:17:45 from 74.32.210.125

I hope your bronchitis is doing better.

From Burt on Tue, Feb 08, 2011 at 17:54:35 from 206.19.214.144

Chris - If we do, we can compare who has the whitest legs. I already know your legs are much bigger than mine.

Rhett - Thanks. I hope you haven't had to excommunicate anyone yet.

From auntieem on Tue, Feb 08, 2011 at 20:45:34 from 98.247.176.184

Oh, I sure hope Emily gets to come home! And that you get well too of course.
