one for the records.

dear reader,

I have to apologize for my lack of updates.  I've been playing a lot of video games and enjoying the weather lately but haven't picked up the laptop a lot.  We've been uploading pictures occasionally though to our picasa web album, check them out here.

I've been working this week and last week as a Training Assistant at proflowers call center.  That means I get to help the trainers train the new workers for the holiday season (valentines day).  Its been a really nice change of pace, call center work can get really old real fast.  I also get to do a little bit of training as well and that's a lot of fun.

We went to see Conan for my birthday and that was fun.  Its kind of bizarre thought because it completely uses up your whole day for only like an hour worth of entertainment.  It was fun thought to be able to have done it. 

Ed and Sue are coming to visit the weekend before Vday and we're pretty stoked about that.  We both took off some time from work so we'll be able to enjoy it with them. 

You'll find a photo of me in my wetsuit in the photo album.  I picked one up recently with some bday money, hopefully I will get to use it soon, I've just been lazy.  Obviously.

happy new year!

Things have been either really busy, or really lazy around here lately.  When we're busy, we're busy, when we don't have anything to do, I've been really lazy.  I blame that on some of the video games I got/bought for Christmas.

The week after Christmas, I only worked 12 hours.  While I was thankful for the break after how crazy things were before Christmas I don't think the paycheck will be very exciting.  Lisa has continued working at Michael's and it turns out See's is keeping her on as well.  She went in Sunday to talk to them and they said she would probably work once a week until Valentines day and then they might give her more dependable hours.  So looks like we'll be playing that whole situation by ear now.

I was suppose to be have a motorcycle driving test on the 28th of December, or so I thought.  The day before Lisa and I had ventured over to the DMV to try our hand at the motorcycle test.  We got there a little early so I went in just to verify that I did have my appointment the next day because I had an odd feeling it didn't get scheduled, and it turns out I was right, so I had to reschedule hopefully for real this time, for Janurary 11th.  It didn't bother me though because the test is actually kind of difficult and I need some more time to practice anyways.

In other news one of our tires went flat the other day.  A day or two after New Years there was some glass in the alley where we live and I think we drove over it and then the tire wall "blew out" according to the tire guy so we had to get a new front left tire.

Coming up in the next few weeks we will be going to Conan for my birthday which I am super excited about, and then we're going to a friends reception that is being held in L.A. and we're super excited about that.  Also Papa Ed and Mama Sue Gordon will be visiting in the begining of Februrary so we're excited about that as well.  Next weekend we're also going to be going to a Church new member thing to get to know some people and the week after that we will probably be finding a small group to start going to with the Church.  So lots of exciting things coming up.
