Red Robin

Yay, so yesterday I was able to head out with the wifey and sister over to Red Robin. I love their burgers and I hadn’t been there in over a year.  It was nice to get away and hang out with the wifey and sister.

Today is Shadows 3rd swimming appointment.  We should be leaving here in like 2 hours or so to go and take him over to Middleburg.  Man the drive out there really really sucks.  Jess picked up his new medication on thursday.  So far he seems to be fine on it.  I think he is still trying to adjust to such a lower activity level.  I mean we can’t play or anything like that.  All he has are walks and swimming and recently he has been bailing on his walks.

I actually have the day off from work tomorrow.  YAY!. I have a meeting with a consulting client earlier in the morning but after that I’m good to go.  Then its back to work on Tuesday (no telecommute day for me this week cause of the Monday holiday).

DirecTV got installed yesterday.  I have to say that it is really different and I’m still trying to learn what channels are what.  The DVR appears to be cool and we have already decked out our shows for when to record what.  The installation was great, a little slow though as the person doing the install was training, but thats ok.  Funny thing was I called Comcast to cancel all my service and they told me I couldn’t because I had to return the box first.. Well I’m not gonna pay for two days worth of service that I’m not using so I called back a couple of hours later, got someone different and they cancelled my account fine….  As you can see a main reason I’m leaving comcast (every person you talk to you get a different answer).

The downstairs toliot over at mom and dads is running which I believe explains their high water bill.  The water had been shut off, but I don’t think my parents know about it, so I’m gonna give them a call soon and see if they want me to fix it.

I guess thats all for now.

 

New Pictures

Alright, so I have uploaded some new pictures of shadow from Sep11 and Oct6 to the slide show and of course to the photo album called shadow. Take a look and enjoy. If you happen to see Fluff all around him while in the Oct6 pictures, that used to be a quilt until he decided to play with its insides…. May the quilt rest in peace. His 6month birthday was yesterday. YAY Shadow is 6months… Man is he a handful too. Last night we went to moms and he would just not calm down and stop trying to eat the pillows.

I also uploaded a new picture of a specific family member to my photo album. It was taken on Sept 5th 2004 at Olive Garden in Manassas, and Yes that is an olive garden take home soup bowl on her head. In case you can’t find it. Here it is:

I have changed the size to help it fit on the blog, so you can also feel free to click it and get to the bigger picture. I found it when I started uploading shadows pictures to my verizon picture site so I could download them and put them here. When I saw it, I just had to share it.

Well thats all for now. Enjoy the new pictures.

No AC

So my rents finally decided to turn off the AC because it is sooo “cool outside”. What they failed to realize is that it is now cooler outside then it is in my house. I’m personally a low 70 degree type of person. last night it was 80. That is way too high for me. I figure it this way. If you are cold you can always throw on an extra shirt or something to help keep you warm, however if you are hot, their is only so much that you can take off. :’(

The engagement party was last night. It was fun and we all had a good time. Even scored some gifts, and Jess loves those candle sticks from mom. I can’t wait to crack open the book that nickshadows got for me. It looks intersting and should offer some good advice and guidence. I also can’t wait to read what everyone wrote in “The Book”. No its not the Bible, it is a book that my co-workers got me so that everyone could write their realtionship/marriage advice in it. I really want to see what people say, and some people have already written the same exact thing not knowing it was already in the book. Interesting though uh? I guess it must be important…. “NEVER GO TO BED MAD….”

POKER NIGHT is coming soon. So keep open a $10 bill and come enjoy some beer and good times. Time to start up a guy night or something so that we can get away from all the crap that goes on during the week. More details to follow later. Let me know if you are up for the game.

Work this week has really really really sucked, Lots of problems or more so over, 1 BIG problem. We got it resolved without even knowing what caused it and therefore we have no way to protect from it in the future which is really annoying. We need to start doing some root cause analysis and not let things just sit on the back burner forever until they happen again. THen we dust them off from the shelve and find a “fix” and put them back up their.

I’m heading out to lunch soon with Jessica’s grandparents(her dad’s side). It should be fun. Then we are heading back to my house for more school work, and the game. Come on skins, 0-2 can change today. Your going up against the worst team the in the leauge. Don’t make us 0-3.

Gotta jet, I’ll post later.. by later it could be months.
