Whoever said it wasn't hot...

Well, today WAS hot, especially if you spend the bulk of the day outdoors doing yard work.

-whining done-

This week has been pretty productive overall. In the past several days, we've secured new tenants (with intention to buy) for the house in B'ham, we've FINALLY found a new home for our golden retriever, got a crapload of yardwork done, and completed some overdue tasks (like assembling Kailyn's sand/water play table...at least she's too young to be pi$$ed about how long it took us to get around to that). I even spent Thursday evening making Stacey a brochure in Publisher for the new pharmacy she works at.

Speaking of Stacey's new job, she likes it so far. Heck, I may even get paid to do a few things for them (data entry, a publication or two...like brochures). That would be cool. Went by there Friday to eat lunch with Stacey and to check out the new building. Very nice...a MUCH better working environment than the retail places she's used to. Well, there are purple, yellow, red, and blue cabinets everywhere, but that can be overlooked. The whole building's decked out in brick that's recycled from some demolished building that was built in the 1920s, so, though brand new, the building looks historic.

As I said, I put together Kailyn's new play table today. You fill one half with sand and the other with water, and the whole thing has a built-in umbrella. Kailyn spent HOURS outside today playing there. Nice to know we bought her a gift she likes.

Other stuff...Kyle apparently secured his job, but no women. Bought a gas blower today to simplify yardwork. J-mo's car looked so nice parked out front all day while he and Kyle 'window-shopped' in Huntsville :-). I hate wasps, since they're everywhere in my yard. Our neighbors killed a 3.5 foot copperhead in their yard today (pretty freaky, so I'll stick with the wasps). Dave's cat is still alive (ask me what that means sometime). Picked up Doom 3 this week, so much of my life has been spent combing a science facility on Mars fighting off hellspawn and zombie soldiers. Ahhh...hellspawn gaming goodness.

Peace.

KEY PHRASES: "He wouldn't know what to do with a girl if one fell out of the sky, landed on his face, and started to wiggle." "1-800-GET-JOEL is temporarily disconnected. Please try your call again later." "You think he'll ever actually take the cat? I mean...ever move out?" "No, Stacey, I thought you really wanted a surround system for your computer...oops."
