A new week and almost April. I can't believe it's been 4 months into 2006. Come to think of it, I've been at this job for almost 6 months now, despite all the complaining. Hehe.

Anyway, hopefully this week will be a good one! I'll write more later. Oh yeah...and time to file my taxes!!

Saturday, March 25, 2006

I am about to head to sleep so I can be rested up for the long 12-hour shift at work tomorrow...I don't want to work!!! It's just a damn long day. Hopefully the next 2 Saturdays one of the other staff that owes me hours will take my 2nd half of my shift, so that'll be something to look forward to.

I'm FINALLY done with my taxes. I'll hopefully be triple checking everything and then filing it over the weekend. If I have any luck, I won't have to pay back some money like I did last year and I will get around $1100 back. That's a nice chunk of change that I can use to pay off my loans finally and then spend it towards stuff for the new townhouse.

We'll definitely be moving in last week/first week of May, but hopefully we'll all be done in a couple of days. Thank god that it's not that far away from where we are now. About 30 seconds away by car. Haha.

We're getting close to putting in our application for our dog. Hopefully we get the one we like or something similar. I think the criteria is a bit too strict for the rescue, but oh well.

Laura is doing good overall. She's been busy this past week and the next week because of tests and essays and stuff. I'm still waiting for TJ to send me the address for his brother so we can send him a thank you card and all that...he must be busy. Haha.

It's weird to say, but I think I'm finally starting to lower in my addiction for World of Warcraft...well, that is probably until I start my next character...haha. It's neverending. But yeah, I'm getting tired of it because I'm running out of things to do (even though there really isn't). It's getting sort of repetitive, but you'll have to be playing the game to understand what I mean. But it's still fun though. Chris is more into than me. He's spent quite a bit of money in real life to buy golf for the game. Lol.

But anyway, I'm going to watch Laura play Harvest Moon for a little bit and then head to bed...gonna be a long day...

P.S. Write in your blog TJ!!!

So after a good break, I'm back to work in a couple of hours. Well, I guess I already worked this past Saturday, but anyway.

I've been looking around for other jobs and that's not going so well. There's a couple that I'm going to apply for here after this post that's at the university. I don't think I'm qualified, but oh well. Why is the job market so hard/bad here?

Maybe I'll swing by Howard Johnson/Comfort Inn and pick up and app there too for a desk clerk job.

Other than that, we're just chuggin along I guess!

Holy crap...Feb 13th is my last post!!! Almost a full month...tells you how busy (lazy?) I've been the last month. However, I have actually been quite busy, mostly with work though.

Anyway, what's been up (the big stuff) in the last month? Well, here's a list:

1. We got a townhouse with the help of Laura's parents and we'll be paying the mortgage. We'll be moving in April 28th! Cool huh?

2. We just got back from visiting TJ in Iowa for a few days. We had fun and met his new gf.

3. We're looking through a bunch of stuff to buy for the house, e.g. tools for garage, dog, furniture, etc.

That's about all. I still need to do my fricken taxes and get that turned in. We're still waiting for one more thing to come in the mail so we can put it in our tax programs.

Other than that, things have been good. Nothing major, so you're not missing anything . :) I'll try and try more and longer in the coming weeks!
