Boy, we had planned everything out so well for the wedding that I was certain that these last few days would be calm and relaxed; they are anything but. Lots of last minute errands, lots of people in town, running around. I can barely catch my breath. Not in a bad way–it’s just busy. Despite having 7…
We were out late last night, at Todd and Jen’s for our second poker night. We arrived there right about 8:30 and we left 4 hours later, after once again losing at poker night. This time I think I was 4th out, out of 7. Jen won and Karl came in second. It was a…
We got off to a productive start to our day. First, we headed over to the bank, hauling a bunch of change that I had collected. We used the change machine and when all was said and done, we got more than $160 for the change. After that, we headed to Goodwill where we dropped…
It was a busy weekend and I didn’t have all that much time to update this blog-thing, so here is a brief summary of the weekend. Saturday Got some badly needed sleep Went to the gym with Kelly; did 30-minute cardio workout Kelly and Sarah went looking at wedding dresses; I was excluded on the…
I went to bed early last night and I was up early this morning. I took Dad over to Starbucks so he could get some coffee, then we came back home and I had breakfast. Around 9 AM, we headed out, first to fill up the car with gas, then to Home Depot to look…
I realized last night that there was no way I could do everything I needed to do before our getaway this weekend without having more time. And the only way to make more time was to take a last-minute vacation day today, which I did. I was up at 7 AM, and between 7 AM…
Rich called around 10:30 last night and I spoke to him on the phone for half an hour or so. He deploys to Iraq in about 2-1/2 weeks, to a base north of Baghdad. He’ll be over there doing trauma surgery for the next third of a year. We slept in until around 8:30. The…
It’s been 3 or 4 weeks since Kelly and I have had a free weekend, but we planned to have a quiet, relaxing one today. I stayed in bed until 8:30 or 9 AM, I think. Kelly was already up when I finally pulled my way out of bed. The weather was warm–the first really…
It’s been a long day. It started at midnight, when I got up in order to do a server upgrade. All told, that took 4 hours and I finally got back to bed between 4 and 5 AM. I slept for an hour and a half or so before getting up again, grabbing breakfast and…
Kelly and I got back to Washington early this morning, around 1 AM. It was raining when I left or L.A. and it was raining when I returned. I stayed at Kelly’s last night and got home this morning. I worked from home today because (a) I got in so late last night and (b)…
Kelly’s flight was delayed 2 hours yesterday, but I picked her up from Dulles at 7 PM and we headed back to her place. I think she was glad to be home because it had been a long trip for her. We slept in this morning and then made pancakes for breakfast. After breakfast, Kelly…
After work today, I had some errands to run. I gassed up the car. I vacuumed it’s interior. And I stopped at Rite Aid to pick up a few items. I needed a gallon of water. And shaving cream. And razor blades. Would you believe that razor blades at Rite Aid are now under lock…
