All moved in and lots to do.
The move went great. I was a little taken back by the movers when they showed up, they looked a little...shady. However, they busted their butts, didn't break anything and were personable and easy to talk to.
We spent the weekend unpacking and we are 90% done. The tough part is going to be hanging all of the pictures. It's quite a circus when we hang pictures.
"Is it straight?"
"I can't tell."
"Well step back and look."
"I don't know, I guess it's straight."
"You're no help."
"I told you I can't tell if things are level."
There's just about an hour's worth of work left in each room. Put this here, put that there...boring stuff.
The best part is that I spent tonight putting things away in the garage and I am able to fit my truck in there. Aaaah, that's great. Unfortunately, there is about 10" of room past each bumper. I put a wire rack between the front bumper of my truck and the front wall to act as an idiot bumper. I wonder how long that will last. I've thought of hanging a rubber ball from a string from the ceiling. Maybe I'll try that next week as a more accurate judge of parking.
But everything is great, more than great in the new place.

I'm still here.
We are gearing up for our move this weekend. It's going to be hectic. And of course, things are starting to gear up at work for me for the end of the quarter. So, as it seems, I might not to get to spend as much time as I would like around the house the first month. That's alright. As it's scheduled I've got 359 more months (and hopefully then some) to spend tinkering around.
While packing, I had to bend my wife's arm backwards to get her to throw out her Vanilla Ice tape. I think her exact, heart-broken, downtrodden remark was "...well, I guess." *sigh!!*

food poisoning
I got a wee bit of food poisoning yesterday. It was not a good day.
Today I'm feeling much better, but I'm having a hard time deciding if the grumbling of my innards is what's leftover from the sickness or hunger? I only ate breakfast, rejected my lunch and had an apple juice and a granola bar for dinner. And anybody that's seen me eat realizes that that amount of food is very, very small!
California is full of extroverts. The weirdest of weirdos would fit in here. Yesterday on the way to work I saw a woman on rollerblades with a coffee in her hand. Can't you wait until you get to work to have your coffee? Doesn't exercising in the morning wake you up a bit and get your heart racing--at least until after lunch and then have a little pick me up? Goofy people.

The Ocho!
Tag, I am it. I have been given a challenge of posting 8 random things about me. It's awfully odd that my last post for my birthday was 100 random bits of information about me, but hey, I came up with 100, what's another 8? Nuttin!
However, the difficulty lies in what subject area those 8 should be...should I follow my nominator and talk about scars? Her hubby followed a similar suit and Hugs went her own way.
8 random bits of _______ about me:
1. I wish I could spout movie quotes all day long that people understood. It's just that I'm the only person on Earth that quotes Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, E.T. and Another 48 Hours.
2. I think a life where you don't meet at least 3 people from 3 different foreign counties is sad. Especially this day and age. In knowing them you learn so much about what life is like for non-Americans. For example, did you know that in India they don't use toilet paper? Nope, they think it is gross. Instead they keep a cup next to the toilet, fill it with water from the sink and pour it on their... you know. According to my source, it is much more sanitary. Of course, that might just be his opinion, but I'm just telling you what I know.
3. The most tv that I watch in one sitting is 1 hour of Americas Funniest Home Videos. Or 1 hour of Cops or Dateline. However that's not all in 1 week. If I were to add all my tv watching time up for 1 week I think it would be around 2-3 hours. Oh, that's until football season.
4. For as much as I love watching football and considering my stature, I've never played a snap. Not even in high school. Oh, I played a bit of the neighborhood ball, but nothing regular. My mom wouldn't let me play for an endlessly inexhaustable number of reasons, but I think I'll be happy with that when I get older and my knees still work. However, whatever "knee years" that I may have gained by not playing high school football, I think I've destroyed by weightlifting. I would attribute 99% of the grinding that causes my wife to grimace to the squats and deadlifts that I regularly perform.
5. I don't get bored with weightlifting. It's just me, in my basement, sweating away. I think I'm the type of guy who isn't easily bored by repeatative actions. I can jog the same path or on a treadmill and not get bored.
6. I can't remember the last time I purchased a compact disc. The last compact disc that was purchased for me was Pearl Jam's last album that came out in May of 2006. Before that, I just don't remember.
7. There is a part of my cellphone that is held together with electrical tape. It's been like that for about a year now. I could get a new one for 20 bucks, but I'm too cheap and I'd have to sign up for another year of service.
8. Scars
8a. My first set of stiches came when I was 5 from walking into a chair that someone was carrying when we moved.
8b. I have a puckered up patch on the inside of my left ankle where a kid threw a piece of glass at me when I was in the 7th grade.
8c. I've got a nice chicken pox scar right in the middle of my forehead. Well, it's a little to the right.
8d. According to Hugs, I have a blue spot on my back. No idea, ask her. It's just something she checks on at random intervals and updates me about.
8e. The nail for my left index finger is moved a bit to the left because it hit it with a 32oz sledge hammer when I was 20.
There's my 8. Oh, and of course, I nominate dobre vechir to carry on this 8 bits of randomness.

100 things
I'm so vain, because this blog IS about me....
2 of the blogs that I read had birthdays last month and the authors wrote 100 things about themselves. I forget what their inspiration was for it, but I thought they were both very enjoyable to read, so I am mimicking their blogs. I hope you enjoy mine as much as I enjoyed theirs.
Oh yea, tomorrow I turn 28! I'm posting it tonight because tomorrow I don't think I'll want to make the time.
100 things:
1. The cat doors at our house were probably a larger motivator for us buying the house than it should have been.
2. I know we bought the right house because after we closed, we celebrated by going to Steak and Shake and while we were eating our wedding song played on the Muzak.
3. Elvis is the King...
4. ...so we had him sing at our wedding.
5. We have 2 cats, Ainsley(hers) and Min(mine)
6. At some point after bringing Min home, we seemed to have switched...her cat who didn't really like me follows me around and is waiting for me when I exit the shower every day.
7. Min pays more attention to Hugs.
8. I like to run in the hilly Metroparks here in town.
9. Earlier this week, a girl was passing me before I went up a huge hill, so I kept pace with her up the hill.
10. I thought I was going to die at the top of the hill.
11. It doesn't hurt my ego that I got passed up by a girl. I'm slow and I know it.
12. Running relaxes me. It makes me feel refreshed, like mass.
13. Sometimes mass works better than running, or vice versa.
14. I try to plan out everything.
15. When I get overwhelmed about my planning and feel like I lose control, it gets to a certain point combustion point and I start laughing at myself for being so foolish and planning too much.
16. It's like an inside joke with me and God. I think he's laughing at me when I laugh at me about making plans.
17. I had a good Easter this year.
18. I had a good Easter because at some point I had a deepening of my faith.
19. I've been Catholic now for 4 years.
20. I think it's funny how guys I know who get married in Catholic churches to Catholic women, never become practicing Catholics.
21. I love my wife.
22. I love the fact she is smarter than me.
23. That way when I don't know what to do I can ask someone smarter than me.
24. Most of the time she is right.
25. I brag that I married up.
26. We got married in the church where I went through RCIA.
27. I miss that church.
28. It had a frisbee golf course kitty-corner from it.
29. It's the best frisbee golf course I've ever played on.
30. We are expecting our first child this October.
31. My wife is pretty scared.
32. She's scared of the birth a bit.
33. The rest of the scaredness comes from fear of what my spawn will do as a child.
34. When I was 5 I killed a toad with a stick for no reason.
35. My babysitter thought I was going to be the next Dahmer.
36. I can see why my wife worries. Birthing is just 1 day, putting up with things like #34 day in and day out could be tiresome.
37. I think I only killed 1 toad intentionally.
38. 1 more benefit of my reel lawnmower is that I can put my kid in one of those backpack things and cut the grass with him/her on my back.
39. I can't wait until next summer and I can put my kid in one of those backpack things and cut the grass. It'll be sweet!
40. Hugs bought me a battery powered weed whacker and I can't wait to use it.
41. I get pissed the people don't think more about helping the environment.
42. Gasoline prices are just plain absurd. Of course prices rise over time, but at this rate?
43. I wish I still had my Festiva.
44. The only bad thing about it was that it the door were made of hardened aluminum foil.
45. My ex girlfriend who was 'heavy hipped' dented the door with her hips by trying to nudge the door shut.
46. I was really blessed in college to be friends with so many foreigners.
47. Those goofball foreigner friends of mine really opened my eyes and were a hell of alot of fun.
48. I wish me and my college gang were still able to hang out.
49. It's funny that most of my foreign language knowledge from them is bad words in Ukrainian and Arabic.
50. I never played any sports in school except track in the 7th grade.
51. I ran the mile and 1/2 mile.
52. I came in last place every time, except once I tied this fat kid from another team for last place in the 800.
53. It was the only time people were cheering as I crossed the finish line.
54. My fasted mile was 6 minutes and 52 seconds.
55. I wonder if I could beat that now?
56. I ran a 5k 2 summers ago at our old parish, it was pretty cool.
57. I might run another one this summer, I'm just sheepish because I'm too cheap to pay the 20 dollar entrance fee.
58. My favorite band is Pearl Jam.
59. I can sing along to any of their songs...or at least mumble like Eddie does.
60. I've been to 5 of their concerts.
61. Each concert just keeps getting better.
62. A new band I like alot is Muse.
63. We went to see them last summer in Detroit.
64. 5 minutes into the concert I knocked some girl over and didn't know it.
65. She came up to me and pushed me and shouted some expletives at me and I really had no clue what she was talking about.
66. I still feel kinda bad about that. I'd hate to ruin someone else's concert experience.
67. I always wear earplugs at concerts.
68. Amanda makes fun of Muse.
69. Ask her do to her imitation of Muse next time you see her. She makes a noise like the teacher from the Charlie Brown cartoon except she drags out the syllables (both of them).
70. I've watched Pulp Fiction too much because every time the toaster ejects my toast, I shoot John Travolta with my automatic weapon.
71. Movies glorify smoking.
72. It only looks cool when they do it, not me.
73. I'm glad the only addictive habit that I picked up in college was weightlifting.
74. My coworkers tease me that after Peanut is born I'll lose all my muscles.
75. I wonder what will happen with having a baby and me weightlifting?
76. I really have to laugh at myself when I worry about things I can't control.
77. Sometimes I really can't believe that I have 2 college degrees.
78. Someday I'll have to get fancy frames for them and hang them up.
79. Maybe in our new house....along with those sunset pictures I keep taking on vacation.
80. With all that education you'd think that I could pronounce 'probably' correctly.
81. I say 'prob-lee'.
82. I hope we really enjoy the parish in the town we are moving to.
83. The one where we are at is okay, but it just feels too rich for us.
84. Maybe if we participated more and gave more time and talent.
85. We signed up, but then bought a house in another town so we were forced to opt out.
86. I really miss our last church.
87. I really miss the gardening club at our last church.
88. What I really liked about it was that I was helping others while I gardened and that made me feel really good.
89. One of the best feelings I ever had at that church was helping out all day at a community church sale. All day long I carried chairs, tables, desks and other furniture out to cars. I sweated through my shirt so badly that you could see salt lines. It was all worth it because at the end of the day I got free pizza.
90. That doesn't beat the feeling I felt when the music started at our wedding and Amanda started walking towards me.
91. I'm glad the church where we were married had the 2nd longest aisle in town.
92. It was something like 150 feet long.
93. It's nice being the groom, you can just stand there and enjoy the view. That's what I did.
94. If Peanut is a girl, I thought of a great name, but Amanda keeps vetoing it.
95. My only solution is to have enough daughters so I can wear her down.
96. I should remain calm and focus on one child at a time. Sometimes that's difficult.
97. Sometimes I wish I would have joined the Marines and became a lawyer so that I would have an easier time running for a political office.
98. Engineers don't get elected to office often enough because we aren't good liars.
99. I was President of Tau Beta Pi for one year as an undergraduate and now I think I can be President of anything.
100. I'll stick with being an Electrical Engineer for now, it's satisfying!

I finally cleaned our bbq grill. It was beyond becoming a fire hazard. Last time we used it, I cooked the burgers over the grease fire, not with the flames of the propane tank. I actually turned off the gas and the grease did the work for me. No joke. Obviously, the energy benefits of allowing the grease fire to cook our food is outweighed by the danger of the grease fire....so I cleaned it.
I also started packing a bit. Just a few boxes.
Oh, and my trip for work is on the fritz again...so that means I get to be home for Mothers Day! I can help my wife celebrate being a Mother for the first time and stare at her big (and soon to be bigger) pregnant belly!

1 room done
Well, here is our first adventure in painting.
It's a light shade of blue. I think it turned out pretty well. There are a few spots along the ceiling that I want to touch up, but other than that it's pretty good considering it's the first time I've painted something and really cared about how it turned out.
There aren't any more home improvements on the near horizon. Peanut's room, but I have until September to procrastinate about that.
I've been pretty frazzled at work lately. They keep telling me I'm going to travel and do a software install and it keeps getting pushed back. I was supposed to fly today, but it fell through. I had my bag packed and I was headed back to my office to grab my laptop and go and the phone was ringing as I walked in. Postponed.
It's like putting off a root canal everyday. I've never had one, but I've heard they are a pain. Honestly though, if that's my biggest gripe (and it is) then I'm sitting pretty. So hey, that's my biggest complaint, it's so very insignificant in the big picture.
Speaking of postponing...we postponed our move to Memorial day weekend due to my work travel. I'm really glad the movers are flexible. We really caught a break there. So somebody's looking out for us!
Take care.

doing some home improvement
Got to do some home improvement this week. I ripped down the first layer of silly looking border in Peanut's room. I got the first layer, but the second layer of border below that is buried beneath the goofy yellow paint. Where we do have all of the border removed there is a nice pink stripe. Yeaaaa, so the goofy yellow covers some goofy pink.
Then over here in our spare room we prepped for painting, primed it and painted it a nice light blue color. Almost a baby blue...I think it is officially called Azore blue. I think it looks pretty darned nice and I'll try and get some pictures tomorrow after I take down all the tape.
