Mouse in the house!!!

Ugh... Sooo Hot....

93 degrees (F) feels like 108.

Just stepping outside makes you sweat.
A heat advisory has been in effect since yesterday.

Summer is here again.  I miss home...
  

Bummer...

Wayne didn't win "Auditor of the Year".  He still got a little bonus, and he said that he didn't expect to win anyway, so...  The ceremony was long, too - he said that it didn't get over until about 11:pm.  I didn't really grill him on what all happened, though.  We only talked for a few minutes last night, as he was going out to celebrate/party with the other people there.

So, 1/3 nights alone down.  2 to go.  Not sure what I'll have for dinner tonight...  Maybe I'll call friends to see if they want to have dinner together (or maybe tomorrow).  Wayne and Andy are going to a Tiger game tonight for Wayne's birthday.  Hope they win for him! :)

Bye Bye Love...

Taking Wayne to the airport in the morning for his trip to MI.  I wish him luck at the awards ceremony tomorrow night!  He's up for auditor of the year with his company. :)

He'll be gone the whole weekend, and will spend his birthday there with his friend, Andy.  We had cupcakes after dinner tonight, though, and we'll have the real celebration next weekend with friends.
So, bye bye love.  Good luck, and have a safe trip!

Back to work...

Well, I've been off for almost 2 weeks now.  Summer school and the first summer session start tomorrow.  Guess I should be going to sleep soon so that I can actually drag myself out of bed in the morning...

I never got my gardening work done while I was on break...  I'm not used to the hot, muggy weather yet.  I don't think I ever will be. :p  I also never got my oil changed...  hrm... no excuse for that one...  Maybe with me going back to work this week (but a reduced schedule /sigh) will make me get some things done since I'll be out and about and off my butt.  Maybe?


Good night!

Huzzah!!

Woohoo!  We're going to BlizzCon!  My fancy clicking earned me the 281st spot in the queue.  Wayne was maybe a second behind me and was about 2400 in line.  We bought our tickets and some spares because we know other people that will need them.

Up next...  Plane tickets and hotel reservation.

(Fun fact... A few minutes after checking out, I went back to the ticket page to see if they were sold out yet.  They weren't, so I was curious to see how many were in the queue still.  I clicked the button and it put me at 25.8k in queue.  That's *after* a couple thousand people had already checked out...)

/edit: Plane tickets and hotel reservation - check. :)

Crossing my fingers...

We missed out on BlizzCon tickets Wednesday night.  Wayne and I both got in queue to buy some, but the 10,000 tickets were sold out! before we got to the front of the line.  (Wayne was at position 280, I was still at about 1500 when they sold out.  There were more than 17k people in queue.)  The final batch (another 10,000) goes on sale tomorrow at 10:am PST, so we'll be sitting at our desks at noon, spamming F5 to refresh the page and clicking like mad.  Wish us luck! :p

Here are the pictures from when we went two years ago: http://ryans-rundown-photos.blogspot.com/2008/12/blizzcon-and-disney-pictures.html

This year, it's October 22-23.

Blog Overhaul

As you may have noticed, I've been fiddling with my blog again.  I will not make the mistake again of promising to keep it updated, but I will say that I will try.  :)

The new features of Blogger should aid in my ADD for layout themes.  Before, I had to back-up and fix-up a lot of things if I wanted to change the look of my theme.  Which usually meant that I avoided it, which usually meant that I avoided the blog.  So, that's one check in my favor.

Also new with Blogger is the ability to have multiple pages for your blog.  That will let me stick to just one blog address instead of multiples (to have extra pages because I'm OCD like that).  I've left links to the old ones on the page titled "Archives".  Another thing to make my blogging life easier.

My new phone and my new phone plan allow me to have unlimited texting and unlimited data.  This means that I can post from my phone if I want to.  I had had this set up previously, but it just wasn't feasible before.  That's 3 checks so far.

One thing that continues to go against me is this, however.  Avoidance of guilt.  If I don't post for a while, I feel guilty, which makes me want to avoid it more.  This infects many things in my life besides just blogging.  Vicious cycle.  /sigh

Anyway, you'll find another post by me soon!  At least within the next year. ;)
