we are so close to the weekend, i can smell it. we are so close to december i can feel it. we are so close to christmas, i can taste it. where did this year go?
i am so ready for this week to be over with. i get in my truck every morning and plan out projects to work on during my day. i get in my truck every evening and recount i barely got anything accomplished in an entire days work. i know i’m not waisting my time because things are getting done; it’s just frustrating when i realise i spend 3 hours on a project i would have thought would only take 20 minutes. bleh, i’m ready for the weekend. football game thursday night, day off friday, maybe mini lan party friday night, house hunting saturday, church on sunday, and we start all over again.
i saw this truck on my way home tonight. the company name makes me laugh, i’m not sure why.
go packers.

i did not do a lot over this thanksgiving break.
tuesday was mine and mandy’s anaversary so we had a nice diner out a lone for once and walked around bed bath and beyond talking about ideas of things to register for, for wedding showers and what not. wednesday night, mandy and i took her dad to the hockey game. mandy had given me a brenden morrow jersey for our anaversary so i had to sport it, even though i was so cold.
we spent most of our thanksgiving day at mandy’s parents relaxing. my family went to arkansas and mandy and i decided to stay home to save the money on $3 per gallon gas. after thanksgiving, mandy and i spent some good time relaxing.
i agreed to keep an eye on my sisters dog over the weekend so other than relaxing on the couch at home, i was over at her house playing on the wii, while chonci sat and wondered why i was flaling about like a drunken fool.
today was mandy’s birthday and her and i went by a park in hurst to take some pictures. tonight i round up the boys and nina and we met for diner at on the border. they brought mandy a birthday browney with ice cream that she was unable to enjoy because she is allergic to nuts. (yeah, yeah, i don’t know why she’s with me either.)
i’m sad thinking that i must return to a real week of work tomorow. i have not had a real week of work in the office since before my trip to california. oh well, take care everyone, happy month end. christmas will be upon us soon.

the irony…
 More than 150 passengers and crew have been rescued from a stricken tourist ship after it hit ice off Antarctica.
yes…
The M/S Explorer is now lying on its side close to the South Shetland Islands, in the Antarctic Ocean.
someone needs to call geeksquad, maybe they’ll dispatch the rescue ship… firefox 2.

and one pie says to the other.. “excuse me sir pumpkin pie, it’s getting really hot in here.”
without hesitation, the other pie exclaims, “ahhhh! a talking pie!”

mandy and i have been looking at houses for a while now. we are wanting to get her moved in to a place so that soon after the wedding we can be settled and have the dogs move in when i do.
we found this house we both loved in euless. mandy put down the earnest money and paid for the inspection. whenever we got the inspection report back, it pointed out electrical problems and severe roof problems. after thinking about our options of putting more money out of pocket in to a house, after going through the home loan process anyway, we decided to pass on the house. mandy is getting her earnest money back because we backed out of the contract in our 10 day option period, but she is out the money for the inspection.
expensive lesson learned on our part.
