I’m horrible about keeping in contact with my family. I’m of the generation who doesn’t believe in calling home or writing letters. I’m all about instant messaging and email…and I’m bad at doing that as well. So, I’m going to attempt to keep family members up to date with the old blog here. Most of you (you dont’ have to tell me Josh) will this boring I bet, so I’m just warnin’ ya.
So..what have I been up to?
Well, my job always has me busy, and it’s almost been twelve years since I started my current job. It seems like a long time to be at one job these days, but working in online world, the business and technology changes so much, I’m always doing something different and learning new stuff. I might have the same boss as I did twelve years ago, but I don’t have the same job.
At home, Kelly and I have finally gotten around to purchasing some major items for inside the house. We bought our new sectional for the living room. It seats 7 or 2 people and maybe 8 dogs. The dogs love it because they can all sit on the couch with us, and because it’s very comfortable. We also purchases shades for our office. We have three large windows that face directly west, and while we love the view, when the sun comes down, it sucks. My laptop overheats all the time, and the glare is horrible. So yesterday, we had three roman shades installed that block the sun completely. They work great. In full sun, I can even play games without losing anything to glare (I consider it a good test of glare to play a game with darkly lit scenes). My second office/studio also has a newly installed roller which covers the entire window, and allows me to work in there as well.
We’re also working on our garden. The weather hasn’t cooperated so much, as we’ve had a lot of rainy weekends. However, it’s looking like this week we’ll be able to get it setup. We’re using a combination of cardboard and carpet to keep the weeds at bay. Combined with the series of soaker hoses we have, we’re hoping this year is the year we achieve little or no weeding and easy watering. We have great soil and had a good crop last year (we still have stuff left over and frozen) and hope this one does as well.
Also, all the dogs and cats are doing well.
Well, that just about sums it up for this week. Enough of the familial Ambien!
