MOVED IN
At long last, I am finally all moved into my house. I haven't fully unpacked yet, so I'm still living out of boxes. But I am making good progress.
WEBSITE FUTURE?I am not 100% sure if I am going to continue this website ( Read more... )

STRENGTH OF EMOTION
Or, more accurately, strength of emotional control. It's OK to feel my emotions, even intensely. But they won't control me. I know were the line is.
QUOTE OF THE WEEKThis one came from my supervisor, after he explained to me what he had gone through to make sure that my fork lift was available at the beginning of our shift ( Read more... )

STRENGTH OF MINDI'm learning PHP. Reading a text book at work during my breaks (tell me I don't seriously look like a dork, reading my book at the table while all my friends are laughing and joking about something or other. And I'm getting excited because I'm finally to the chapter about loops. For loops. While loops. I love loops ( Read more... )

I'M BACK!
Not much has changed since my last post though. Still working my ass off. Money's good though. I close on the house on Tuesday, 10-11-05. (Suppose I should start packing...:^)

Not much to talk about.

Spent emotionally today though.

(Here's a nicer picture) I checked the place out again the other day after the thunderstorm, and the basement was dry, and the roof didn't leak. The ( Read more... )

FANTASY FOOTBALL DRAFT
The Fantasy Draft for the North Coast Football League's 4th season came off without a hitch Sunday. Things went well, and it went rather quickly. I had my brother Sean sitting at the table with me to give me a hand because I was drafting so many teams. Between the two of us, we drafted 6 teams all together. That's half ( Read more... )

HOUSEHere's pretty much where things stand. The asking price is $80,000. I offered $60,000 (due to the fact that the place is going to need a new furnace, a new air conditioning unit, a new electrical box, and a new concrete floor poured for the garage). She countered at $78,000, then got married and went on her honeymoon. We are going to re- ( Read more... )
