Moving

We close on our new house on Wednesday. I'm pretty pumped.

In all the excitement of packing and getting things ready to move, I packed up my geocities site and moved all of my design samples over to blogger. I simply got sick of PageBuilder locking up and leaving me with unsaved edits. I'll probably get my photos up on a blogger site sometime soon too. Much easier to manage!

It's been awhile...

Haven't posted anything here in awhile. Haven't had the time, I guess.

Between getting ready for the wedding this past May, and doing all that goes into buying a house, it's been tough to find any spare time. Of course, I've wasted a lot of what little time I've had playing playstation wrestling.

Some things, you never escape!

among the things i've learned...

This may become a recurring topic...

Theres a fine line between compromise and accepting the unacceptable. Knowing the difference between making a deal and getting the shaft will keep you out of trouble. Assuming that the people you deal with also know the difference will keep you honest.

The older you get, the more Jimmy Buffett makes sense.

Women think its cute if you call them 'lambchop'.... 'Porkchop', however, does not elicit the same response.

Unless you're at a formal function that warrants wearing one, it's very difficult to trust a man in a bowtie.

People tend to remember things about you that you yourself deem insignificant.

starting the year off right

It helps that it's a gorgeous day - 70 degrees, cloudless, the windows are open and I'm wearing shorts. I feel compelled to start off the new year with a good cleaning spree. Alie's working, so it's not unusual that I'm cleaning the apartment, but I'm giving everything a little extra attention, myself included. I'm not really a neat-freak... but after letting thing go to hell, I get a rush out of conquering the chaos.

A sense of accomplishment is a killer high.

Doing a bunch of laundry, and I put on the brand new bedding that Alie's mom bought us for Christmas... it's very spring-like. A bit too fruit-stripey for my boring taste, but it brightens the place up nicely. I even trimmed the goatee down and neated up the edges, followed by a nice close shave for the rest of my ugly mug... baby smooth, very nice. Punkin'll appreciate that. Not due for a haircut yet, but a neck trim is in order.

I still have to clean out the fireplace. I can smell the ashes.. ick. I think the cat may get a bath too, if she's not too stressed out after I vaccuum.

There's something energizing about a good neat-freak episode.

Look out, 2005... I'm gonna whoop your ass.
