My parents came up for the weekend, and damn did we accomplish alot.
We finished drywalling the huge gouges that were made getting the couch downstairs, had someone in to look at the furnace, modified my garage door.... but most of our weekend was spent fixing the giant crack across the kitchen roof. We went up in the attic and threw down two large bags of insulation to prevent condensation from building up, then screwed in about 20 drywall screws from underneath into two studs. After that, Wayne put on a few layers of mud and we spent approx. 3 hours sanding that down. Looked like a ghost. But the ceiling now appears to be fixed, just needs some paint. Kayla...
Also, finally coming to some resolution on the cornucopia of fuckups that have plagued our backup system at work. November bonus should be stylin.
Colts won today, somehow. Sure wasn't because of Peyton's 125 yard effort. 18 for 25 , 125, 0/2 . Crazy. Only two home teams won today, one being the Sunday nighter.
Nicest November ever, temperature-wise. Threeish more months...

Well so much for my claim of updating frequently.
Honestly! It's been well over a month since my last post.
We moved into the house on October 17th and my first mortgage payment came out today. Pretty surreal - definitely a good decision though. I landed one of the last subprime mortgages and only time will tell if house prices drop substantially in the next few quarters.
The only major issue was getting this massive couch downstairs, but that only meant taking out a giant chunk of wall. No biggie. Other major issue was the freezer forgetting to work, and subsequent 21-gun salute to about 20 pounds of meat. It's currently sitting in the sunroom soaking in clorox.
Currently pricing out a new PC, PS3, and HD LCDTV (46-52") . That is the order of operations, as well. That combined with Cuba (Feb 13-10) means I have to save/budget even more than usual.
Work is going well, I have completed my probationary period so the raise went through and the bonuses started filtering in. Still have yet to miss a day.. today was pretty close though as we didn't stop partying in Regina until 7 PM last night. Had went there on Friday for a party and to meet up with friends, and Saturday turned into even more of a gong show as 5 schooners at Houston Pizza transformed into a no-sleep shitfight taking us from The Pump to Randal's to Juice's house to Carver's house (I think) to *can't remember* then to Rob's and Sean's . Ended up home around 1 AM.
Speaking of which, early bedtime.
