I don't totally understand how the whole blog thing works. I guess I take the same boring thoughts that run through my head all day long, and make them public so that when your job gets tedious enough you can take a break from it and have something to read online. I myself spend about 65% of the average workday watching movie trailers online, looking up things on wikipedia and determining what color I will paint my office next. I do leave my office occasionally but it is usually only to wander to a window to see if the construction workers have done anything interesting, or to walk over to Mr. Gowling's side of the building to cool myself by the icy-arctic blast of air that shoots from beneath his office door (I have inserted a picture for visual aide). But seriously though, his office is very cold and I point this out each time I enter it. Ok so that is all a bit of an exaggeration, contrary to popular belief youth pastors do actually work and don't just sit around watching youtube all day. But needless to say I can still relate to the kind of boredom that might compel you to read my blog, and therefore I hope my thoughts can offer the much needed distraction that will enable you to be more productive during the rest of the day.
Since I haven't really had anything very interesting happen to me recently that is worth blogging, I am just going to talk about how great my wife is. Ellie is great. I appreciate her very much and I definitely don't tell her that as much as I should. I am thinking it all the time, but I am not very good as saying it. But before you go judging me, just hang on a second, because you probably don't tell her enough either. Ok well her mom tells her all the time so Cheryl if you are reading this, it doesn't apply to you. Now that I think about it so do her sisters, so Megan and Molly you're off the hook as well. As for everyone else, the next time you see Ellie you should really think about telling her how great you think she is. I know you think it, you know you think it, and yes thats right, I know you think it. Feel free to comment on this blog with something you think is great about Ellie. If you are Mark Chambless your comment should look something like this: "I like that Ellie hasn't killed me yet, even though I deserve it for being Mark Chambless." I'm just kidding Mark. I am planning on joining the force with you if you still want to clean up the streets together. Well if you got nothing else out of this blog I hope you were reminded to tell your wife (or mine) how much you appreciate her.

Oh my goodness Eddie this is probably the best blog I have ever read! You really need to keep posting these because they are super funny and relateable!
I love your wife. I love her alot and I miss her alot and I'm I'm glad that you wrote this because it's making me smile trying to picture exactly what shade of red her face turned as she read this. The things I love about Ellie... the fact that she ate candy bars with me when we were supposed to be at the gym...that she takes super spectacular pictures of my kids...that she is eventually gonna come visit me and hopefully this 'comment' will move the likelyhood of that waay up :-) Okay so maybe I should right my own blog post about how much I love Ellie cuz this probably wasn't what you had in mind when you asked people for comments :-) Glad you're blogging Eddie! Miss you guys!
oops I spelled write wrong...
I too will declare my undying love for Ellie. I LLLOOOOOOVVVE you Ellie. Ellie is super cool, has an awesome eye for color and design, is the Best photographer EVER(step aside Cameron Ingalls).Also, she is so sweet and said she wanted to be a ghost for Halloween, because ghosts are invisisble--so humble. And generous. And cute, with her beautiful blue eyes and pretty(and natural) blonde hair.
So Eddie, us stay-at-home moms have nothing better to do than read your ranting man blog. So, keep writing about Ellie, and I'll tune in! Please don't be too political or write anything too important, I can watch the news for that.
um, I tell your wife how great she is pretty much every time I see her.
I even told her I had a girl crush on her once.
so add me to the list of people "off the hook"
Ellie,
I echo everything written here about how great you are. But let's be honest, what makes you great is that you put up with Eddie. I know I temp eddie to do bad things like see american gangster and blog and watch dancing with the stars but it's your grace that allows eddie to see the error of his ways. You stand patiently while he desperately tries to prove he's right about something when you know damn well he's wrong. And you still love him. So, here's a toast to you. For letting him hang out with malcontents like me, giving him time to admit he's wrong, and not deciding to destroy him will your laserbeam eyes.
I think Ellie great... for many reasons, but one is absolutly because she has not yet killed my husband. :)
Eddie, you are okay too... but that is mostly because you cook really good salmon.
I may think Ellie is great, but I think you're the worst blogger ever... how bout something new... come on Eddie I thought you were funny !
Yah, C'mon Eddie--get with the program! I just aired my Festivus grievances over national blogworld-That would be a perfect post for you, with all the positive energy you have stored up...somewhere.
Eddie,
I was wondering through blogs connected to your FANTASTIC wife's blog when I found yours. I find that you are able to be just as funny in a blog as you are in person. Keep it up!
