Well Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and all that crap.
Now that the formalities are done, we can press on. I know that I have not written in some time. So as a New Year’s resolution, I’ve decided (among other things) to write on my blog more.
Let’s see, what’s been happening lately…
Work has been tolerable, yet unknown. Hence the word “funambulate”, which means “to walk on ropes”. After my hours have been cut, and my gas plan had been smacked, we’re finding it rather difficult to make ends meet. As of right now, we are caught up on bills, which is slightly relaxing, although it’s only for now. It seems that every day at work is a new adventure and a new rumor. We’re selling the franchise, we’re not selling the franchise, we’re selling the property, we’re doing nothing… I just wish people would make up their minds yeah?
Amanda and I are doing great. She was a bit moody this last week, due to a standard anatomical monthly increase in hormones (you geeks know what I mean…) but life is peachy now and we make due. We’ve cleaned the ENTIRE house in the last few weeks. We got rid of quite a few things, which felt sooooooooo good. We cleaned the upstairs now too! So I have an exercise room equipped with 10 speaker surround sound, plus we cleaned all of the downstairs, bedroom, closet, porch, kitchen, living room, even scoured the turtle tank! Maybe i’m nesting… yeah… that’s it…
Christmas was great. I got Amanda quite a few things that she had asked for during the year, and she did the same for myself. It did not really seem like Christmas for some strange reason. Perhaps next year we will have to try harder to get into the “Christmas spirit”. I DID however, receive a receiver insert rack for the Jeep! Now we can take more than just what fits in the back on trail rides and beach trips. w00t!
Gaming is going well. My Saginaw group is outstanding, as expected. They seem to really enjoy Changeling to the point of talking about it after the game is over and everything. The Heroes Unlimited portion of it fell through, as Jason Parker had some personal issues to deal with and could not run it. I think we are going to try some 3.5 DnD shortly.
Oh yeah! Saturday the 26th is Axis & Allies (Blind) at the Geek Shop, so tell your friends to come!
Christmas at the [my] grandparents was interesting. Ever since I became a man (w00t) I find it very relaxing to visit with relatives who would never talk to me before because I was a “kid”. My cousin Nick’s wife Amy started her own bead and jewelry site / business, of which I will have links up to shortly. It was nice visiting with her, as I have never really gotten a chance to sit down and talk to her.
Well, I best get back to work. I’m sure i’ll post more later on, perhaps when I get home.
