My tooth hurts

My sinuses are so screwed up, it feels like all of the teeth on the right side of my mouth are loose/falling out one by one.  It hurts.  I am in pain and it is not fun.  I feel like someone is drilling into my cheek with a drill bit that is covered in glass.  Seriously.  The pain is bad.  The same thing happened last summer and I was down for about three days last summer as well.  Hopefully today is the last day of pain.

Look out Texas Wildlife...

Chris Baugher is coming for you!  If you don't really care about hunting or you think hunting is gross, skip to the next paragraph.  If it doesn't matter to you, this was my Thursday.  Yesterday, I went up to my lease to get some stuff ready for deer season.  I put up a couple deer feeders and hung a camera so I can see the monsters that are roaming my land while they are still walking around.  Hopefully that will change come deer season.  As in, they won't be walking around anymore because they will be riding in the back of my truck back to Houston.  As in, we will be eating them for dinner.  As in, I will be lucky enough to shoot one or more.  Ya got it?  I really hope that I get some pictures of some hogs and some turkeys on there too.  If I do see some hogs there might be a Pig Roast at the Baugher's.  We will just have to wait and see.  After I got the stuff ready for the deer, I went over to the cabin and fished a little bit at the lake.  Two bass later, it was time to head back into town.  Hunting is a lot different in Texas.  There isn't really "open" woods in East Texas.  My lease is pretty much exactly what you would think Texas is.  Flat and thick with gas pipelines running through it.  Most everyone hunts out of box blinds of tripod stands.  I'm pretty lucky though because my part of the lease has a tons of trees for climbing and a sweet opening that should be perfect for bowhunting.  I am pumped...

So I guess the rumor is that football is back.  Awesome.  I said it before so don't be all surprised when the Texans go to the playoffs this year.  I'm not saying Super Bowl, I'm saying playoffs.  Just like I said that Michigan will win a National Championship with Rich Rod and the Orioles will, well, I never really said anything about them.  Not that dumb.  Plus, I promised myself that I wouldn't complain about them anymore so, how bout this tropical storm huh?  Anyway, the Texans have a new Defense with "Squinchy Face" Wade Phillips running the show (Shout out to Carly.  She came up with Squinchy Face.  Really, check it out.  He always looks like he is eating a lemon)  and they just got a corner and a safety.  You'll see.  All the Texans need to do is get better on D.  The offense is good.  Check it out for yourself...


That's right, I have his jersey...  I'm not really sure why I never really got into the skins or ravens.  It was always about baseball for me.  Don't get me wrong, I want the redskins ad ravens to be good.  It must be because I've been to a bunch of Texans games and I never went to a football game growin up.  Being so close to Reliant has allowed me to get to a bunch of games and really like the Texans.  And I'm not a bandwagon fan because they have never won ANYTHING.  Usually, they don't win as many games as they lose during the year.  This year is different though, this is the year. 

I am starting to get bored with summer.  It's hot and I'm running out of things to do.  We don't have a pool and every time I go outside I get sunburned, sweaty and tired.  Fish don't bite in the summer and you can't hunt.  I took Cam for a walk a couple of days ago at 9:00 in the morning and after 5 minutes he was pulling me back to the house because he couldn't do it anymore.  Being outside is torture...

Oh crap...

Man, I haven't done this in a while.  Must be because I have been so busy working...  haha  Well, I knew it would be here soon.  I have seen so many post about back to school shopping and I remembered, in less than a month I will go back to work.  The summer goes by so fast.  It went by fast when I was in school and I think it goes by faster as a teacher...  The only good that comes of this is that I will once again feel as if I'm holding up my end of this "grown up" deal.  I do feel pretty guilty when Carly gets up to go to work and I say good bye from the couch.  Just like every summer, Camden is MY best friend because I am usually here with him most of the day.  Once I go back to work, he definitely will love Carly more again.  I guess all I do is pull even every summer in the doggie love department.  I did paint a little bit this summer and I feel that I did a pretty good job.  I guess all those summer and winter breaks growing up were worth it.  I also learned a little bit about fishing for something other than bass.  Fishing Galveston is different but it's pretty cool not having any idea what your going to catch...  I have also achieved, as I have said before, half way decent guitar status.  My fingers are gross but that's the price you pay for being a singer/songwriter.  I really gotta step it up this last month of summer break and do something outside!  If only it wasn't 100 degrees everyday.  (Thanks Houston)  I kinda miss getting to school everyday and having kids scream at me though.  I haven't given a high five in about 2 months and that makes me a little sad.  I guess at 27 (less than a month from 28) I'm still a kid at heart.  Counting down the days until I "go back to school".

I find myself waiting for Monday nights because the Bachelorette is coming on!  OK, so I guess I really need to go back to work.  Say what you want about me, that is a great show.  As long as you watch it "for the right reasons".  (That's a Bachelorette joke.  You don't watch, you don't understand.)  With the end of summer comes College Football.  Thank God, this baseball thing has really gotten me down.  Michigan better win 7/8 games this year or I don't know what I will do to myself/house/personal possessions.  It doesn't matter though.  Every year I'm filled with the same dreams that every college football fan is of a great year and a good bowl game.  This is what is getting me fired up now...

Are you ready for some football?

A bunch of meaningless information

I'm bored so I am writing in this.  Warning, this will not be entertaining.  If you want to, get out of here.  If you are bored you can be bored with me.
Everyone is bored.  Check Camden out.  He's bored too. 
He's not asleep.  He is bored.  Just laying down with nothing to do.

Let me start by saying, I can't put my finger on why, but I have been in a shitty mood for about 2 weeks now.  I complain about everything.  I really am being Negative Nancy and I can't seem to shake it.  This morning, I woke up furious because my ankles were itching.  I sat up in bed, sighed deeply and went downstairs at 4:30 in the morning.  Kinda felt like crying when I came down here but I swear I didn't.  I don't know if it is mosquitoes or the fact that I have been laying down on the ground in various places for 2 weeks painting but my ankles are itchy.  Ya know how you are always told as a kid to not itch it?  Yeah, can't do that.  I itch.

Because I get Texas Rangers games on TV, I got to see the O's play for the last three days.  Well, I had the option.  I watched about 3 total innings because they suck so bad.  Maybe the Orioles have put me in a crappy mood.  I just don't get how a team can be so bad for so long.  It has to get better someday right???  I'm still a fan don't get me wrong (Carly was telling me I wasn't being one with the way I was acting) but SERIOUSLY O'S?

I'm afraid to cut my hair because I'm scared that it won't come back.  I've been saying this for 5 years, but I'm serious now.  It's getting mighty thin on top.  It's almost long enough to put it in pigtails.  I feel like a surfer guy from California.  I could have a crucial "Middle School Middle Part" if I wanted too!  It really doesn't bother me that I'll have to start shaving my head soon.  It's just gonna hurt that first time I buzz down the middle.  I'll take some funny pictures and laugh but when I'm alone, I'll probably tear up.

I have been HAMMERING away on the guitar.  I keep peeling skin off my fingers and keep getting yelled at for it.  I feel like my three fingers being all callused up and gross looking makes me cool.  Right???  My set list looks like this so far...

Opening song...  Chicken Fried-Zac Brown Band
Red Rag Top-Tim McGraw
In Color-Jamey Johnson
Knee Deep-Zac Brown Band
Encore Song-Homeboy-Eric Church

Pretty good I know.  I'm really getting good. 

I really don't know what else I got.  See, I told ya it was boring and you read it anyway...
