That’s right folks, I’m back… been swamped lately so there hasn’t been much time for posting. Here’s something we were doing:

Now you get the title, hah. It still needs some accessories for the walls but I think it is a really neat color and we had a lot of fun putting it up. I wish I had a more wide-angle lens on my camera because depending on the angle it looks brighter/darker in the photos. The actual color is somewhere in between. heh

I’m going to try to get back into a regular schedule of posting again soon.. see you all later.

COLTS WIN!!!!!

Wow.. what a game. I was on the edge of my seat the whole game. Defense stepped up AGAIN!!! And number 4 was an awesome off-season pickup.

Saints just won too, cool feel good story with those guys.

Want to go to the Superbowl? Colts are giving away tickets. Also I added a Colts flash thing at the bottom of my blog, check it out it’s pretty cool.

Carson loved his first swim lesson. It’s just him in the pool with a teacher (who is watching up to three other kids) so he’s learning that listening is important. Today was pretty much just a skill check to see what each kid can do but Carson still loved it. I hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Here comes the weekend

Man, it feels like this has been the longest week all year… oh, wait. 🙂 Carson starts his swimming class tomorrow and he is really excited. Mom made some chocolate cake and brought it over last night, was delicious.

I’ve always like Speed Bump.. and todays I found especially funny.

The Colts are ramped up for this weekend and so am I. Let’s hope the defense has a decent day and the offense has an awesome day. I know that would make my weekend.

Cool video of iPhone:

Happy Birthday to me!

Wow, just wow…. Kudos to Florida for playing a flawless game though.

Patch Tuesday has landed, so the rest of this will be brief BUT there are a few things to note that are awesometacular (yes, I just made up that word).

AppleTV – for $299 you get a crapload of AWESOME features that brings the content from your computer over to your TV. I’m really pondering getting one of these.

iPhone lives – it’s real, it’s spectacular, I want one VERY BADLY, and it will break the bank ($599)… but in their defense, there is NOTHING on the market that even comes close to touching this thing.

Ok, so back to patching and stuff.

Monday already?

It’s rough having a short weekend after having a nice long one… I might have to start a campaign at some point to get my 4 day work week idea off the ground. heh

COLTS WIN! It was an amazing effort by the defense to hold Larry Johnson to less than 40 yards.
Cowboys lose due to butter fingers, Patriots stun Jets, and the Eagles kick a last minute field goal to win their game. Good start the playoffs.

Put most of the Videos I have taken up on PicasaWeb… I’ve tried to put them in chronological order top to bottom, but I may have misplaced a few of them. Let me know if you spot one out of place. I’m going to move the Christmas videos into that album as well.
Oh, here’s the album.

First Friday of 2007

To celebrate… we (me, Martin, and Lynn) decided to Jell-O mold Chris’ mouse. Booyah!

The featured funny this week is Penny Arcade, it’s a long time favorite of mine and was the main reason I started this category. Be warned they do at times use strong language and adult situations, but they are extremely funny and extremely well drawn.

Great video of the evolution of dance…

Colts playoff game this weekend… GOOOOO COLTS!

Had some catching up to do with the house and work… so now that I’m pretty close to being caught up I figured I better put an update here.

While in Nebraska we went to Heather’s 30th birthday party, it was really fun seeing our friends and hanging out again!

From Heather's Bir…

New Year’s Eve was quiet for us, as more than half of the house was some kind of sick. We just stayed in and watched movies (and football). Which turned out ok given the 4+ inches of snow that got dumped, making going out less appealing anyway. Carson and I made time for a snow fight (since we haven’t really had any accumulated snowfall in Indiana).

From New Year's Fun

New Years Day was a great time for Carson to visit with all his friends in Nebraska. He really missed Jimmy and Bre and Logan (and baby Kilee too!).
