today got off to a bad start and just went worse. I found my car battery dead this morning. I think it's past it's lifetime. It's over 4.5 years old, so it lasted a long time. The bad part is that today was supposed to be lunch with Sarah. Of all days for my truck to die, it had to be today. Fortunately my roommate was still home. He usually ( Read more... )

I had my day long six sigma training today. What a waste. However, I did get to chat with some cuties. I have to admit, I like talking to ladies. And really I think I can be pretty charming at times. And I get some good laughs. I think the key is not to try too hard. I just wish there were more that I got to talk to on a daily basis. ( Read more... )

amanda and i went to the casino this weekend and had some good times. i won about $100 at craps before dinner. and then lost it afterwards plus another $100. She ended up winning about $150 off of $5 i gave her on the 5 cent slot machine. the jackpot party treats us right. so our net gain was positive. it was a really good time. probably our ( Read more... )

this holiday season has flown by. i barely got my tree out and now it's about time to put it back up. I was going to tonight because I won't be here after tomorrow and I don't want my cats messing with it since they already knocked it over once this season and broke 3-4 ornaments. And I don't want to lock them out of the office for the next two ( Read more... )
