Yeah, I watched it, or most of it. I was reading a book while the game was on. The game was ok. The commercials were ok. A few of them were quite good, but some where lame and I got annoyed with the over abundance of CBS commercials for their own shows. Did you guys hear that Survivor starts this Thursday? ;) The book was a little better than ( Read more... )

What a good but tiring weekend. Saturday I got up around 8:15. I hadn't planned on getting up that early, but oh well. I watched TV until about 10:00. My dad called and said he'd be on his way shortly. He was coming over to help with the tree. I got everything ready (supplies, tools, unlocked the shed, etc.) He arrived about 10:45ish and we ( Read more... )

We had quite a little ice storm last night. We came home to find a tree had fallen from our yard into the neighbor's yard. Thankfully it did not damage their house or any nearby trees. It really did minimal damage except for some cement retaining blocks (and a dead tree). I uploaded some pictures.

I also uploaded 2 pictures of Gwen. They are ( Read more... )

This weekend brought an interesting little event. Sunday morning Jaime shouted from the kitchen for to me to look out the back window. Right on the edge of the hill was sitting a red fox. Our neighbor had told us he'd seen a few of them making a den on the edge of his property but we hadn't seen them. The fox just sat there, quite still, ( Read more... )

No, one of the cats did not leave the premises. I think Jaime and/or I have mentioned the "Eva squirrels". They are red squirrels that we think are possessed by the spirit of Eva. There are at least 2 of them that live in our yard. We now refer to them as "Eva" or sometimes "Eva squirrels". They are always "she ( Read more... )

The EL house is officially... not ours! Yay! We closed this morning. We are now down to owning only one home. That is such a relief. The buyers were interesting and nice. I'm sure I have a bunch of anecdotes about the whole thing, but no time for that now.

Now if I could only get this stupid work project under control.

This weekend was mostly uneventful. Sunday was a little odd mostly due to the fact that we went to the EL house for likely the last time, or maybe 2nd to last time. We wanted to go through the house one last time to make sure we had everything. We rounded up all of the trash, cleaning supplies, etc. It turns out we did totally miss one small ( Read more... )

This last weekend was decent. Saturday I went out with "the Doby boys": my dad, two uncles, and grandpa. They go out to lunch almost every Saturday. They've been doing it for a handful of years now. I decided to tag along. I hadn't been to one in quite a long time. I had a minor ulterior motive as well, but it never came to fruition. That's ( Read more... )

There's a bit of an internal struggle right now for a piece of my ass... in a good way. The road getting to this spot is too long to write, but it basically means that two projects really need me to do work on them. In the end, the project for the client paying 7 figures won out over the one paying 5 figures. While I'm flattered, it does put a ( Read more... )

Friday we went out to Nibble Nook with my parents. We kept meaning to get together with them since labor day, but our schedules have been crazy. I never know what time I'll be home each day. Some days it is 5:30 and some days it is 7:00 ( Read more... )
