Meet Gus' New Toy...

Gus treated himself to a nice, new 52" LCD TV this weekend. Thank you bonus money! Our first point of order last night was to watch Lost in HD. The best way for me to describe watching this TV is to say it's like having our own movie theatre right there in the living room. Wahoo!

Hugger Muggers On the Loose!

Here’s a little Monday humor for you all. This sign has apparently been posted all over London warning the people of the very real threat of “Hugger Muggers.” While I don’t find mugging funny at all, I do find the warning sign quite enjoyable. Click on the photo below to see it full-size.

Be careful out there!

LOOOONG Overdue

Hi everyone – It has been WAYYYY too long since I posted on here. I apologize. Here’s the quick run-down of what we have been up to…

1. Moved into the new townhouse. Painted like crazy the first and second weekends. Our kitchen is a lovely shade of burnt orange/red and our master bedroom has one green wall and one wall with green/cream stripes (pics to follow). Have yet to completely unpack due to items #2-6 on this list.
2. Headed down to Las Vegas for the WCC college basketball tourney. Yes Gonzaga won both the men’s and women’s divisions. Both teams headed to the big dance! Gus realized that he love Roulette and both he and I walked away from the tables with money in our pockets, wahoo!
3. Gus’ sister, Ashley, and brother-in-law, Jerad, came to visit! It was one of the yuckiest weekends I can remember in Seattle, but we tried to enjoy ourselves. Time was spent watching the NCAA tournament selection show, eating good food, shopping at IKEA, and catching a Seattle Thunderbirds hockey game. It was a short visit, but we packed it full of goodness!
4. We are moving out of the apartment. Our garage and den are officially “disaster” zones from all of the crap we’ve moved but haven’t had the time to put away. Oh well. There’s always this weekend.
5. Gus and I bought 16-game season tickets for the Mariners this season!
6. I got crazy busy at work. Our big tradeshow is happening right now, and I had two clients in attendance. I worked more than my fair share of hours which included late nights and weekends. Ugh. I need a day off.
7. My dear friend (and ex-boss) from Gonzaga’s daughter got married in Spokane. Gus and I headed over for the wedding where we danced, ate good food, and relaxed away from the big city.

So that’s it in a nut shell. I’m looking forward to most of the weekends in April because I don’t have anything major planned. MY plan is to work on finishing the unpacking, hang some pictures on the walls, and go buy a curtain rod so I can finally use the big bathroom shower, and not the silly little standup shower. Sigh.

Still no sign of a housewarming party, at this point. If we make good progress on the house this weekend, there is potential for a party next weekend. We’ll see.

I’ll post some pictures of the painted walls tonight, and maybe some from Vegas, if you’re lucky!
