Facebook
So I recently set up an account on Facebook. Well actually I had set up an account awhile ago but never really got around to doing anything with it. For whatever reason a few days ago I started adding friends and setting up a “real” page. It’s interesting – I consider myself fairly technical. From…

Competitiveness
So I occasionally get labeled as “competitive”. This happens often at work where we have various things going on. I can kind of agree with it, but I’ve never really thought of myself as overly competitive. This past week though, I realized that there are 2 kinds of competitiveness. I usually think of someone that…

What we’ve been up to
Haven’t posted in awhile. I’ve had a few blog posts milling around in the ol’ noggin, but just haven’t gotten around to posting. I’ve been really busy over at the new house.

I will not GIVE you the satisfaction
So a friend of ours was talking to Carolyn the other day. She was telling us a story from a few years ago. Apparently she got upset that she was the only one doing the dishes and that her husband never did them. So one day she decided to go “on strike” (i.e. not wash…

Saturday Problems
Wanted to recap my Saturday excursions (last Saturday – the 15th). We had decided to go up to the Y to swim as a family. Afterwards we were going to get some pizza. As part of our move (even though we haven’t really moved yet), we got on some mailing list where we’re getting all…

Siiiiiiiiiiick
So, a few weeks ago, I commented to someone, “you know, we really have been incredibly healthy this winter!!” I was pretty surprised since with the freakshow in full effect, and the number of cesspools of infection that members of my family frequent (YMCA, school, church, etc), it is not surprising to go pretty much…
