Boy it sure showed up with a vengence! Its sleeting and snowing like a crazy lady over here. None is predicted to stick to roadways though thanks to very warm weather lately. I’ve been working on work, and also in the evenings working on my syllabus for the spring term. I had a GREAT template…

Yep, getting closer and closer. Mowed the yard this weekend (damn this Rye grass. Its going to die very soon…) and I just realized I forgot to put out the trash. Dag-nabbit. Our alarm system was activated yesterday, and the smoke detectors showed they could wake us up in the middle of the night quite…

Welp, its looking more and more like a home. Tomorrow, appliances get delivered and the are installed on Saturday. We are also heading to take some niece-related pictures on Saturday after haircuts, so it will be a tightly scheduled day. Once we get back, we are finishing the house. I’ll put up a very sad…

PHEW! We’re finally starting to get settled and the nightmare is over! The buyers of our house made some bad choices which caused things to be delayed. Here are a couple of those. Their realtor was Tom May of Remax. He just got his license back in August which was the first major problem. Secondly,…

Hope everyone had a good one! I was browsing the recently released music this week on iTunes and found the Beyond the Sea soundtrack. This movie comes out in a couple of weeks and is based on Bobby Darin’s life and his relationship with Sandra Dee. Unlike Jamie Foxx in Ray, Kevin Spacey actually sings…

Sorry about that…. Last week was quite insane. Allow me to explain. But first, check out this interesting experiment relating to filtering cheap vodka through Brita filters to see if it gets any better. My its amazing what the human brain can think up when it has a little bit of time. So since the…

Man… last week was a drain. Both physically and mentally. Ever have one of those weeks that just seems like it was a month long? From executing an offer on our house on Monday to attempting to do that twice on Sunday & Wednesday (second time worked out so far), and then beginning the packing…

So we did the inspection on the potential new place yesterday and the buyers of our current place did their inspection today. The inspector was almost 2 hours late. We went over to Jerry & Sharon’s for a few minutes just to pass the time. They were there for about an hour or so, poking…

We had the new house inspected today. Everything seems to be in order, minor issues here and there, but hopefully things will continue down this path. We’re moving forward it seems, however slowly that might be. If things are all good, it’s about to go MUCH faster. I’m pretty tired today, so I’m heading off…

Welp, we are getting closer to having a home. We signed papers on a new house in Flower Mound today! So as long as everything goes ok with our property, we should be good to go come December. Please, keep your fingers crossed! Chris and I are spending our time packing now. I’ve also got…

Welp, it happened. We took the offer with nowhere to live! We’re crazy. We’re going shopping this afternoon, and if we do not find anything we’re just going to get a short term lease on an apartment and keep our ear to the ground. We did find a place on Sunday that we put an…

So I’m plowing along my normal routine of visiting sites that make me laugh, and I came upon a link to a site that says quite a bit of the things that probably need to be said about the American Left. It is entitled “An Open Letter to the Open Letter Writers of the Left”.…

Ok… so yesterday was pretty busy. We previewed some houses in Flower Mound and saw Suzette’s house for the first time! She has a gorgeous little place in Lewisville with a big back yard. Her new puppy Windsor (sorry for the oopsie) is pretty damn cute too. We tried to hook up with Wendi, but…

So I figured that there are two major things that happen today being my birthday. 1) I don’t have to carry my Selective Services card around anymore (ok, it was never really on me but was in fact readily accessable with updated address info. Damn I’m a dork). 2) I now don’t check the 18-25…

Welp, the networks are finally calling it so I will say a little congratulations to Bush and lets get moving!

DANG MAN! Ohio is going to be the Florida of 2004. If Kerry can finally concede OH to Bush and thus the election, do you think we might see a Guiliani/Clinton ’08 battle?

Well the election process is underway. If the hype is correct, we should see record turnouts this year among all groups of voters (which is a good thing). I just hope that with all the mud slinging, bias, and spin that America’s voters can make a choice based on their own research and not what…

Got the iPod today and man is it sweet. Can’t believe it got here so fast. I was not expecting it for another 3-4 days and blammo it shows up on my door today at like 8am. Very cool. So in between phone calls and work stuff, I’m slowly importing CDs to iTunes so I…

Thank goodness! St. Louis won’t be so bad tomorrow after all. Or maybe it will be full of rioters. Anyway… no game 5 to worry about!

Chris has been feeling a little bit of movement and last night I got to feel it too! Very faint… He was kicking or hitting the wall of her belly saying he needed some beer or somesuch. Anyway… big day
