Elise got home after spending a couple of days with her dad and we put together the tree. For whatever, reason this seems to take hours to do each year. I think the tree looks more natural then those that just pop up like an umbrella.

We got 700 lights on it and tmw we will put on the decorations. Elise got tired and wanted to go to sleep.

I also decided to try to take a picture of the wreath on the front porch.

I had a great day and got several new rentals today. It was a pretty productive day, all around.

I actually completed everything on my list. Elise's room needed cleaned and it is now done!

Well lets see what actually got done....

1. Clean Elise's bedroom.
2. Change out the cd's in the player for Christmas music.
3. Replace the few nails that were removed in the frontroom where I hang my garland every year.
4. Hang up the garland and balls from the windows.
5. Figure out where to put my "bent" during the time the Christmas tree will be up.
6. Drag in all the dusty boxes from the garage and sort out some decorations.
7. If it gets warmer outside I will go out there today and put up lights outside and just not plug them in quite yet.
8. Remind my boss, who just called, that he TOLD me to take the day off :)

Everything in red got done....the biggest and yuckiest job has not yet been completed. It is still early though...only 7:20. I might very well go on in there and get to it.

I played a game of Scrabble with a friend of mine today but he had to stop early due to some emergency at work. I was sooo totally kicking his butt. Good thing he had to go. If you are on Yahoo Messenger and want to play Scrabble...ad me xxgiggerxx .

While I was hanging out light today I had a bit of help....

Just finished my oatmeal and banana breakfast and now I will have some energy to do some stuff.
What I would like to get completed today.
1. Clean Elise's bedroom.
2. Change out the cd's in the player for Christmas music.
3. Replace the few nails that were removed in the frontroom where I hang my garland every year.
4. Hang up the garland and balls from the windows.

Let's see by this evening just how many of these things I actually get done.

7 More People Took The Dip!

Another 7 people got baptized tonight at church. It was a very very very cool time. I keep thinking "tonight would be a great night for someone new to visit this church. they'd be hooked" and then I think that the next time too :)

FFH is this weeks band of the week for me. Elise has been having me look up everything they have on You Tube since we heard one of thier songs in the car.

I'm having to scan my laptop because I noticed that there was a pop-up screen attempting to come up every time I boot up the system. Some program attempting to conect to the web automatically. I'm sure it's for some "truely remarkable product" or some spy ware.

Can't wait to weigh in tmw to see how much all the starving and working took off over the weekend.


Elise got a beautiful cross necklace that Dan got from a Odessy Posse cache.
Time to think about getting to bed on time.

I need a good screw.

I still didn't get my new sign on the door because I didn't have a single metal screw in the office. The only metal screws I could find were like 3 inches long and would have come out the backside of the door. So I still have one thing that needs to be done signage wise at the office.

I got my keyboard holder attached to my new desk. It totally sucks to have to have the keyboard way up around my armpits. I have to sit my chair on the lowest setting at work anyway and having the keyboard up on the top of the desk a "pain in the neck" literally.

I'm watching the Hulk right now and funny thing they do a cameo of both of the previous Hulks on the TV he is watching.


I would have liked to have gone caching today but I had to work. The house needs cleaned up tmw and I'm a little behind on that, so I will make an effort to do the whole house tmw. I guess I won't be getting any caching done this weekend. It's been a long time.

I am in my new office and working on getting my merchandise set up in the new office. I am attempting to comparison shop between these two companies where I'll be purchasing my stuff from.

It's been fairly quiet in this office today except for the fact that the dead beat customers that haven't paid in three or four months are just now beginning to come put of the woodwork again and only now are freaked out about losing their stuff. Pay the bill each month from the beginning and you never have to go there.

Random thought: Shopping carts are fun!

It's been several months since I've updated the blog. I just got away from it is all.

My work has become alot more work :) with two offices to run now. I love it. My days always went by way to fast the way it was. Now it feels like the days are two hours long. I have gotten tons of stuff done in the past two days though and that's always rewarding.

Lots of fun stuff happening right now. But to some it up:
