sad life

So, I've graduated and all I do is work now. 50+ hours a week and I'm underpaid for my output as a worker. :P HAHA

N-E-Ways, Still waiting for the baby to come, and waiting to get a new vehicle. If anyone wants a '63 Nova Wagon we are selling ours. Price is $3000ish. Front power disc brakes. doesn't look like much but has lots of potential.

Thanks Kris

Here is the latest addition to our child's wardrobe. It is a bit more personal than anything else we've gotten, and it made me cry :)

James is gonna be jealous. (from what I've heard the secret is zazzle.com)

SNOWBOARDING TRIP 1

Jerod and I tried to go snowboarding at Heavenly on Monday but it was snowing too hard and traffic was bad so it took us three and a half hours to get there. So we just got my season pass, watched a movie, played in the snow, ate, played in the snow, and went home. Here is me with my pass:


We made another attempt on Wednesday and had success. We rode the Gondola up the hill and boarded all day. It was beautiful! MORE PICTURES

Simple

HAPPY NEW YEAR! and good night. :P

James as a dad

I've been trying to imagine James as a dad. Since there is a high probability that he is getting a girl the following photo helps us picture what James will look like holding a daughter :)

It's a Busy Christmas

Self Evaluation

Countdown continued

14 more days until graduation. Suspenseful isn't it.

World's ugliest dog is dead

Whew, he was ugly. I don't even want to post a pic of him. Sam is dead, but I'm sure that some other rat looking, pimpled, hairless, toothless, odd colored dog is out there to take his place. Sam's fans wanted the him stuffed and put into the Smithsonian Museum, but instead he's been cremated and his remains are in a wooden box next to 5 of the owners other deceased dogs.

Interesting. Now lets all shed a tear for Sam.

El Primero Gifto Desiro

Yes, the following is an announcement about the #1 gift that I want this X-mas:
REBALLS
I just wanted to announce it because it's funny to say "I want Reballs!"
Anyways, I guess it isn't that funny then. Nevermind.

But here's what they are:
Reballs

Each one is a re-usable paintball. It's actually not a "paint"-ball, but a synthetic ball. I can use them to tune my guns in the garage without making a mess and wasting actual paintballs that are expensive.


p.s. Ru-balls are okay too, you can get them on ebay. NO T-balls, or V-balls though, they suck!

Xbox 360

Yup, the new Xbox came out last night at midnight. Too bad everyone is sold out. But it's okay you can get yours now off ebay for only $1,700!!!! After they retail for around $400 you can enjoy getting shafted with a $1,300 markup so that you can be the first kid on the block with one, right? Yeah RIGHT! Stupid spoiled people.

Check out this ebay auction for one.

What's on the menu for Thanksgiving dinner?

Your mail order feast of course!!!!! Order now while supplies last. Your order will be delivered to your front door in a nice package with dry ice to keep it from spoiling.

I wonder if I'll be delivering any of these this week. I also wonder what people do if the delivery gets lost or the shipper puts the wrong address on it. I guess they just head to Denny's!

Below you'll find a few options for your Thanksgiving dinner order:

Tender and Moist Whole Turkey Feast, $64.95
Side-dish package, $27.95

Return Policy: Company "guarantees ... the highest quality" or it will "promptly issue a credit or replacement."

Phone/Web Experience: Ordering took forever, though the rep did have a sense of humor.

Comment: Stock Yards (best known for its beef) also has a more traditional turkey breast version ($52.95).
