Going to throw a couple of short sentences w/ little to no structure for random updates...
Job's going well, opportunity for advancement on the horizon
George RR Martin responded to one of my posts & made my day
Go Panthers, since when do the cardinals play defense?
My daughter monkey stomped me in the Giblets, worst way in the world to be woken up
Scheduled surgery #2 for Lincoln on Feb 10th. Back to the RMH for a couple weeks in Baltimore
Re-reading the Harry Potter series, I am always impressed by people who can express themselves without using 'impressive' words and still paint such a terrific picture. Not the worlds best author but she definitely keeps my attention and enjoyment level on the forefront, I think that if her goal was to capture the minds of the teens all over the world she succeeded brilliantly.
I am going to stop working one day this week and just do some organizing around the office, I probably have 2,000+ loose papers stacked on my desk (not blowing that # out of proportion).
Ditto that my garage this weekend.
Got a funny email from a buddy today: Shortest fairy tale ever -

Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
The girl said, 'NO!'
And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and went fishing and hunting and played golf a lot and drank beer and scotch and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.
THE END

I'm sad that I called my brother and said "Do you want a job?" I know a guy who told me - 'if you know someone who wants a job, have them call me and I'll hire them'" It would pay something close to 750 a week and although I haven't talked to my brother in a week I know he's going to do nothing and not take the job which is very disappointing.
Happy New Year everyone, resolution is 1/2 way home already - put the mechanics in place to put our debt behind us by 2011. Now it's just getting past the medical bills and crossing my fingers that the advancement opportunity also comes with about a $10K increase.
