Look at that face!

TGI Fridays

So yesterday was my beautiful wife’s birthday. The kids and I got her WiiFit - which is what she wanted for Christmas, but I couldn’t find it anywhere over the past 2 - 3 months. So yesterday at lunch I thought I’d give it a shot to find one for her, and wouldn’t you know it, I followed the UPS truck into a gamestop and had the clerk cut open the box and sell me one of those WiiFits. AWESOME.

Anyway, I get it and a few little other things for her and she really liked them, or at least she acted like she did… :) When I got home we decided to go eat for celebrating her birthday, and she decided on TGI Fridays - now this is a place I’ve seen alot of commercials for, but never have been to one (We didn’t have one in Midland). So I rattle open the ol’ iPhone and find out there’s one a couple of miles from the house… So we headed on over…

Let me just say, that place is awesome! I had a cheesy bacon cheeseburger (I know, not real healthy, but I was celebrating!) and it had some fried cheese on it… OH WOW - any burger lovers need to head on over there and grab one of these things… VERY good. I think everyone in the family liked their food and I would highly recommend that place to anyone.

I didn’t watch the inauguration due to work, but let me tell you, I got my fill of it last night, and I actually got pretty upset at how the media was so disrespectful to “W”. Love him or hate him, the man was our president and deserves respect. I was appalled by the statements of alot of the media people, and I would challenge any one of them to go do that job - it isn’t like it’s a kush job… It will be interesting to see how well Obama does in there - I don’t wish him any ill will, I hope he can do some of the things he’s campaigned on - but I think alot of people are going to be surprised … That job isn’t an easy job - and I respect anyone who goes in there and does it. (well, anyone but Slick Willy).

Maybe now, our country can get back to the business of fixing itself, and get over all the glimmer/glam/show of it all. Will the real men please stand up. I’m so sick of hearing nothing but political vile, I’m ready for that part to clear out, and to hear about some things getting fixed.

Wow - I am sorry I let it go this long without an update - seems like there’s quite a lot going on at the moment with the move and house stuff…

I don’t know that I’d say I’m overly busy, it’s just a lot of adjustment stuff when trying to get into a new house - trying to get all the amenities and all that stuff tied back together (Internet, telephone, Television) and just the overall cohesiveness of everything. It’s funny but when you look at it, it is amazing how comfortable we get with our systems where we live. Most people don’t realize it, but we get all comfy in the environment(s) we create and then when you throw some salt in there, it changes it all up. I think I’m a pretty adventurous type guy, so changing is really cool to me - but there’s also something to be said about a system already being in place, and not having to adjust the routines.

In my case - I’m happy to switch to new systems, but it’s been taking a while to get it all set up like I’m used to - the FiOS systems we have are awesome - but the DVR sucks compared to the one we had with AT&T - so I am trying to get used to that - I’m sure it’ll just take some time - but I’ve noticed, I’ve dropped out of watching some of my old shows - I think just because I need to figure out the whole recording setup - it’s very different and not near as user intuitive…

Anyway - as far as the update goes - we’re in the new house (Still trying to sell the one in Midland) and hoping to get rid of 2 of our dogs - our new backyard isn’t near big enough for all 3 and I don’t think it’s fair to enclose ‘em in something that small when they are used to much bigger. So - if you know anyone that would like a good dog or two - send ‘em my way.

I am loving my new gig - very cool people and a lot of learning going on - just what I want!

That’s all for now - I’ll try and post more frequently now that I’m getting back into the swing of things.
