Well back to 2+ months since the last update ah well.
July
The first couple weeks of July were fairly busy with getting the house set up and finding out what I needed. The bar stools came in early one morning apparently they were left out on the front porch when I was getting ready to go to work at 7:30 am and I am pretty sure they were not there the previous day/night. After I got home I unpacked the stools and put them together and set them up at the bar. I also finally found the dart board I have been looking for with the baseball field on the back of it. It turned out to be at Wal-Mart and was the last one they had in stock. I had also ordered some speakers the previous month and they came in and I set them up with my surround sound system so my entertainment center is nearing completion minus the projector.
I received word that the cousin who was in a bad accident earlier this year had passed away the funeral was on the same day as my Waverly trip so I didn’t go.
Near the end of the month Maer came down for a few weeks to visit and go to Waverly. We went with SIPI and a small group of ours from Willard Library on the 21st it was a nice experience, but the place wasn’t run as well as Mansfield. Over all I did not get anything although as a group we had an interesting experience in one room that we got a lot of evidence camera/heat sensing/EVP that proves to be interesting.
I finally received my projector replacement after several months of waiting thus completing my entertainment center. It has been running well they have put in a new bulb since the hours on it was set to 0 I had roughly 500 hours used on the old one. The same week I received word that my new end/coffee tables and last 4 dinning room chairs were in. While Maer was still here she helped with her SUV to go pick them up and bring them home. The next week I went to Big Lots and picked up a screen that I had seen the previous week.
My pool table came in the following week and I had it delivered and set up in the basement. It was pretty interesting to see them bring it down in pieces and watch how they put it together and even everything out. I had to go pick up my pool light the next day since they were not sure which one I had ordered. It took a little while to hook up and I had to get an electric plug to attach to the end since it was meant to be hard wired. It turned out to be pretty nice and they match my bar stools exactly which was a bonus.
At some point I also went and ordered the side table for the kitchen and picked up 2 lamps for the living room. I received word that the chest for the bedroom came in and I decided to wait for the side table to come in and pick both up at same time. During all this I missed a family reunion due to lack of communication no cards were sent out so only a few people had showed up.
August
Went to the local Game Stop and pre-ordered Guild Wars: Eye of the North (GWEN) which was due to be releases on August 31st.
I made it to the next family reunion and received the invitation card the week that it was being held but I knew about this one in advance. It was nice we had 70+ people there this year. Went to Grandma’s afterwards to pick up a few small stuff that I had left behind I still have my twin bed there I need to pick up too so I will have to do that later with a truck.
The next week the side table came in and I called Mom and Darin to come over and help me pick up the last of my furniture with the truck. We also went to Menards and picked up a small bar fridge for the bar. So the basement is nearing completion which is nice that a room is finally done.
A few days before GWEN was release I went and picked it up since my order was in already. I have been playing that and catching up with some unfinished quest/missions in the rest of GW.
September
The first weekend in September just before Labor Day I went to Muncie for a pirate party. It was interesting but the incident at Mancinos kind of put a damper on the rest of the night for most of us, but it was a fun party over all.
Things are finally slowing down a bit with the house and I only need a few more minor things to finish up the inside of the house for now. I am thinking of getting a ping pong table top for the pool table and use it as a large table for gatherings downstairs I could easily sit 10-12 people around it if needed.
Last weekend my Dad, Step Mom, and Grandma came by for a visit. We played a round of pool then went out to eat and came back and chatted some on the back patio. It was nice day to be outside not to hot and not to cold and we sat on the patio furniture half in the shade and sun talking for awhile.
I will be trying to set up a Regular\Doctor Who party here in a few weeks I’ll try to post a day and time when I get more information around. Speaking of which awhile ago I was talking to Rich and he was planning on coming back to the States over the holidays and the only day he had available to come by would be December 27th. So I will try to get everyone together and have a get together at my place so everyone can get a chance to see him before he goes back to Japan. Please pass this on to anyone else who wants to come and I’ll post an update later on. Speaking of parties I have gotten to the point where I can start stocking my bar with alcohol and need suggestions from everyone on what you would like to see in it. I have been picking up a bottle of something every time I go to the grocery store so I am slowly stocking up.
I think that is about everything once again I will try to post more often but that doesn’t seem to be happening to well I do try to check my friends list posts more often. Hope everyone is doing well and to hear from you soon.
