It’s the song of the day (says me)

I’ve now watched every episode of Scrubs and now I’m ready for the new season that starts at the end of the month. I’m glad I have two comedies to watch now (My Name is Earl is the other) and I’m really liking half-hour shows right now since it’s easier to find time to watch […]

Does anyone want to dog/house sit November 22-November 25? Not too likely, I know, but I thought I’d ask. We want to go to my parent’s hosue, we want to not take the dogs and we want to not board them.

So boss #1 is leaving in a couple of weeks so he can finish building his dream home. New #1 boss has that long to come up with the future direction before he takes over. Unlike the other changes, this one might actually impact me some how, but hopefully not too much.

We didn’t get the tv room finished or the shed, but good progress was made on both. A good reason for the slow speed was that the tv room is where we stored pretty much everything during the remodel. Now I have a number of things to unpack and find new homes for and that […]
