Hello, gang! I don't know if you know this, but there is a lot of negativity in America these days. The winter can be a gloomy time every year as we see less and less of the sun. This year, in particular, seems to find us in an especially cold and snowy winter season. If that weren't enough, our nation is facing some trying times. Our economy ( Read more... )

I've seen a bunch of these so I figured I'd do one as a year-end recap.

1. What did you do in 2008 that you’d never done before?
This was very much a year for gettin' shit in order.  I don't know that there were too many groundbreaking new things.  I did, however, spend New Year's Eve in a bar for the first time and that carried into New Year's Day ( Read more... )

Ok, I've been talking about getting kitchen pictures up for a while now and I suspect that there isn't anyone left who hasn't seen the final(mostly) product.  But, I'm all about follow-through...or something.  So, here you go:

3 completely unrelated ruminations from the last 24 hours:

1.)  How sick are you of hearing, "I'm ________, and I approve this message."?  Is this a requirement for these ads?  I think it's getting a little out of hand.  Last night I saw a commercial with Al Franken giving me a heart to heart about his views for America.  At the end of his monologue ( Read more... )

Ok, this is what I remember:

Tuesday - Steph and I arrived Tuesday night and had already gotten word from Pete and Christa that they had done a timeshare presentation and were going out to dinner at Brand Steakhouse and seeing Lance Burton as part of their compensation.  We checked in to the Monte Carlo and took care of some housekeeping.  With Pete ( Read more... )

Too much stuff going on, right now.  I feel like I've been running for 3 weeks.

Steph and I went up to the lake last weekend and it turned out to be a pretty relaxing weekend. I've compiled a great deal of Vegas pictures so a post is coming to recap that weekend, but it'll have to be this weekend because my evenings are full.  I got an opportunity ( Read more... )

First off, a very happy birthday to aflamingstar !!  May it be filled with rainbows and unicorns, and such.

The sky looks really crazy right now.  The clouds are all swirly.  I wish i had my camera because it totally reminded me of Ghostbusters.  I've already spent way too much time trying to track down the screenshot from the scene I'm thinking of, but it's ( Read more... )

Last night was a perfect recipe for kickass.

I've been making sandwiches for work this week to cut down on my $7 lunchtime cravings, which adds up to an embarrassing monthly total.  So, this weekend I stocked the fridge with pastrami, turkey, lettuce, cheese, and bacon.  Also, this gave me an excuse to bust out the mustard my girlfriend got me that ( Read more... )

It's been a relatively slow work week so I find myself falling further and further into the abyss that is the internet.  I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but I got all opinionated about stuff.  I pretty much learned, this week, that if you ignore politics for 29 yrs, there is a lot of catching up to do.  I understand there's a lot going on ( Read more... )
