I love rainy days like today, actually. As long as I'm not working in it.

Ok, so I didn't see the comments by momtastic and cynthtastic until today. But Middlesex didn't quite work out. It's looking more likely that Green Brook will be the destination. Although we won't know whether the offer is accepted or not for about a week. Hopefully Green Brook is acceptable to all.

Actually, I am going to stop by a couple houses in Middlesex on my way home. My girlfriend is looking to buy a house and it looks like Middlesex is the right distance from her mom and from SBB. So I'll be checking out places on Fairview and Oak. Should be fun.

I haven't written in so long it's a wonder I remembered my password. I'm at work and it is a pretty slow day. That explains posting to lj during the day I guess. That is all.

It's difficult to watch your pet dying right in front of your eyes. I knew way back when I first saw the puppy-who-would-be-Otis that the day would come eventually.

Tonight is our first game for the Sunday league. The FD league plays on Mondays and starts a little later in the month. I'm looking forward to playing tonight. I might not be so enthused tomorrow morning, however...

I am psyched that the Steelers are playing in another Super Bowl! Although me and cynthastic won't be trekking out to Pittsburgh like we did last time, I hope the outcome will be the same as last time anyway. I would like to thank the Kitten Fam for offering to let us watch the game at their place again back when we were actually going. That was blast last ( Read more... )

I just got back to work this week after being laid-off for 3 1/2 weeks. I only worked from Wednesday to Friday, but by Friday night I was really tired anyway. Fortunately for many reasons, this is an 8-hour job site instead of a 10-hour one like the last site. That means I only missed 2/5 of the week instead of 1/2, and it allows me to ease back ( Read more... )

Christmas was great, lots of family around and much fun. 2008 still can't end quickly enough for me though.
