Recent But Random Updates

The house is coming along...slowly.

Well the last few days haven’t been very entertaining around here. The weather went from decent (meaning I was back to almost wearing shorts) to cold again and now Becca is laying around not feeling well.

I think it’s mostly allergies and the cold weather getting Becca down, not to mention being around a couple sick kidos like our niece and nephew doesn’t help the situation. She’ll be back in no time though.

This week should be fun though as it is the week of my birthday (Sunday the 7th). I think however I am more focused right now on what to do for Valentines day. I’m not the best at coming up with ideas but hopefully I’ll come through! 🙂

I hope to start putting more random updates like this on here for those who do read. I’ve started working on little projects around the house like my office. We recently got a desk and bookshelf for it. Just gotta get all my random junk boxes out of the way to really get it done.

Speaking of boxes, Becca and I finally started going through some old clothes this past weekend. Hopefully over the next several weeks we can put together a few bags of old clothes to give away to Goodwill or somewhere. Once that is done we should have some open space in one of our bedrooms that we don’t use.

Okay, enough for now.

iMight Want The iPad

Today was the announcement of the much anticipated iPad tablet from Apple. Its basically a larger (10 in. screen) iPod Touch. Same OS as the Touch and nearly all the same applications as the Touch.

The price is decent but not nearly what I would want to pay for one at the moment. You can get it with 3G and without, which having to rely on AT&T for 3G kind of makes me want to take my chances of not having 3G on it.

I was pretty excited about this product but the more I dive into it the more I realize I have no need for one at the moment. Maybe if I ever want an eReader, or iReader in this case I’d easily go for this one as the new iBookstore looks pretty sweet. But that is just it, that is really my only need for one as the rest is just a larger version of the iPhone/iPod.

Maybe in a year or so I’ll get one, once the second generation of this is out. For now I just don’t need one.

New Music Monday, Other Things

For the first time in I don’t know how long I spent the afternoon (yes at work) downloading some new tunes. Of the ones I got are: The Temper Trap, The XX, Phoenix, Cage The Elephant and Vampire Weekend.

I don’t know why but the song “Sweet Disposition” by The Temper Trap is addictive. Then again its also a theme song of some new ABC show that looks good.

I’m also trying to do a few more things around this site here too. I need to stop wasting time on not doing things with this site that I’ve owned for nearly a decade. Work and life I guess have kept me from really doing anything remotely interesting with this over the last couple years but hopefully I can settle down with this theme you see and enjoy this site once again.

Its a small hope, even if so few read this place.

Happy Holidays

Yes it’s been months since I last came here to do anything but hopefully I can actually get better at that in the coming months.

Lots of stuff has been going on with work and life that have kept me busy lately. With Christmas here it will only get busier!

Happy Holidays!

Random Thoughts

Yeah, so for a while I’ve been thinking about writing a book. I don’t know what kind or what it is about but its definitely been a goal of mine for a long time. The best ideas I’ve had may not be the best books though so who knows what it will be about.

I do know one thing though, I want to get back into some photography. I know Becca is wanting to buy a camera for her possibly, (cross your fingers) potential career move down the road. I don’t want to do it quite full-time as her but definitely something on the side.

Anyways, speaking of Becca, she and I finally got (most of at least) our wedding registry stuff done. We registered at Target, Kohls, Macy’s and for those with a little extra coin (ie the people she works with daily) at Williams-Sonoma.

I bring that up since tonight I bought a couple friends some wedding gifts. Its two weddings I’d really really like to do to in May but just can’t due to costs and work. If plane tickets were just a little cheaper for both weekends in May I’d spring for it but I just know I won’t be able to do both. One is a couple that I became great friends with in college at WVU and the other is a friend of mine that I have known since we were in diapers. So yeah, its tough not getting to go to either but I think I gifted both of them nicely. And honestly my guilt for not going to either may make me gift more before its all said and done.

Yeah, I’m honestly making an effort here to update this more with what is going on in my life. It helped when I book marked my site’s login info again. I didn’t have it on the new laptop.

Oh I never update anymore…

Blame the laziness, the wedding prep, and the loads of work going on. 🙁 Don’t worry I am close to coming back and redoing this whole mess of a site! :-p

Got a new job…

…title that is. Yup, in a way you could really just call it a promotion. That’s kind of why I haven’t written on here lately. I’ve been super busy with work and life after work that I forgot about this little blog. Oh well, sometimes in life you just have to roll with it.

Now I am the Assistant Editorial Manager on my team here at work. Before I was just plain ol’ Editorial Support. And thankfully it is no title like Dwight Schrute on The Office (Assistant To The Regional Manager).

Trick O Treat

Yeah, I haven’t been able to post anything on here this week. Been fairly busy at work and with other things in life. Oddly enough today is my least favorite holiday, Halloween. And weirdly enough I am pressed up for it. Okay not dressed up in the sense that I went all out on a costume and spent way too much money like most people do for this day.

No, I am Dr. Gregory House from the hit TV drama House. Yeah, it is a very easy costume. I wear pretty much what I wear on a daily basis; jeans, button-up shirt, athletic looking shoes. I found the cane at a party store for $2 and thought it was a decent idea when Becca suggested it. Much better than buying a political mask and being Bill Clinton for a day.

Maybe if I get a photo of myself tonight I will post it later on here.

Oh Boy

Congrats are in order to Sarah and David St. Louis today. They found out that they are expecting a little baby boy (soon to be named Ryan Matthew St. Louis). Yay for baby Louie and his happy parents-to-be. I know Becca and her family are excited for another baby to be on the way here.

And I was right on my prediction of them expecting a “dude.”

And again with Becca, Sarah and David
