Shoe Hunter
I was out all day yesterday looking for a pair of basketball shoes. I think I'll just buy the walmart shoes. There are suppose to be some layoffs coming this week around thursday which is the last day of the month. The company will not have to pay benfits for august if they layoff that day. I guess they are trying to squeeze the last bit of honey out of us. I have all of my stuff packed up in a big box just in case. They don't let you go back to your desk once you have been summoned to the firing squad. I have almost completed repairs to the big bathroom. the paint and new fixtures look really good. I finally painted the door and it looks nice. I two toned everything in there. Its quite a work of art. Next up are new windows and a privacy fence. I have enough pickets to surround the whole house. Then I'll put up razor wire and gun turrets, land mines and a mote with pungy sticks at the bottom!!! My son has finally made a friend. His name is Hunter and is just like JD. He just yammers and yammers (talks). I called a guy about framing in the attic yesterday but he didn't call me back. I guess I'll call them again today.

July....2008....Feel Old, Feel Fat, Feel Baaaaad.
Hello non existant blogging world. I haven't blogged in like 2 months. Lets list out the things that happened.
1. My dad had open artery surgery to fix a clot in his neck. The doctor said he was having mini strokes. He's all better now.
2. I got a flat panel TV and a WII Fit. Now it is time to get fit. I am so sore and tired from playing it. Now I need to get Wii rock band and pretend to be a band. : (
3. We downsized the kids possessions. It took us 3 days but we finally got all of the kids things to a manageable level. They had more stuff between the three of them that I have had in my lifetime.
4. I got a grill for fathers day. It rocks. I cook da food outside.
5. We got one of those really lame above ground vinyl pools. It was on sale. I think that it is hideous, but its fun I have to admit. It is impossible to keep it clean though.
6. I go the house painted. Greenish. Next up is the roof. I have an adjustor from the insurance company coming out to inspect my possible hail damage and give me a new room. I can't wait.
7. I got a super deal on privacy fencing. I'm getting 670 5 inch fence planks for 536 dollars. This usually costs 1132 dollars. If I bought the fence premade it would be 1546.75. Now lets add it up. 536 plus 95 for 2X4s and 89 for 4X4s plus blood sweat and cursing equals 720 dollars. To have one installed it would be 4000 dollars. I are handy sucka.
8. We took the sunroom back from the kids. It is now a painting/incredibly pathetic lone musician room. I put the drums in the attic.
9. I am getting moved into the finance department at work soon. I'll be doing the exact same thing for the exact same amount of money. Everyone else will of course be making more money than I.
10. My GPA for my masters is right at 3.8. I've got 6 A's 2 B's. One of the B's was one single point from being an A. like 899 points out of 1000. The teacher said no rounding!!!
11. I read through most of my old comics. Most of them were extremly stupid. Especially the Lobo and Demon comics. I tossed them. The Hitman comics are all pretty good, and the Aliens comics are super.
