Status Update: Getting There…

by Slack, on February 18th, 2009

So it seems I’ve taken a break from blogging. I know, I know, BOTH of my readers are disappointed I’m sure. I’m trying to get back on top of things and figured I’d start with a cathartic bit of blogging to get the juices flowing again. Curious about what I’ve been up to? Got nothing better to do than ready the random mumblings of a 33 year old computer geek? If you answered yes, then I think I can help. :)

The Precious!!!

by Slack, on January 16th, 2009

How are we doing? We’re doing fine. Though, apparently I’ve lost my tan. My wife commented to me today, “DAMN, honey! You are white!!” My own wife!! Why is this profound? Well, because my wife has such little pigment in her skin she’s practically translucent.

She also told me, “What happened to you? You used to be so dark, and now you are the whitest I’ve ever seen you! And all those liver spots on you…”

I promptly flipped her the bird, “LIVER SPOTS!?!?! What? You mean my freckles!?” See what I have to put up with here? :)

I fear the code is consuming me. Turning me into a Smeagol of sorts. My precious… If I start losing my hair, and talking to myself (more than normal) then someone please come kick me in the face and torch my computer.

On a serious note: We’re “that much” more moved in. :) I say that because it seems immeasurable. I know we are getting tons done, but things aren’t really moving at a pace that leaves a mark in the face of the list we have left to do. Even with everything in disarry, however, we are more happy here than on our best day at the other house. This is definitely our place. I think we will be here a good long time. I’ll post pictures once we clear out more of the boxes and what not.

Just wanted to make a post of some sort since I have been incognito for a spell.
