Been really busy since I got back from vacation, and only mostly because of work.  Ashley got me Guitar Hero III for the Nintendo Wii for our anniversary.  Got to say:  IT ROCKS!.

I realized today that it has been over two months since I posted anything.  Strangely enough, it is about two months ago that I got extremely busy at work and started working 60-70 hour weeks...  Funny how they correlate like that ( Read more... )
