New Year…. Uhh…. Yeah.

I haven’t updated in a good three weeks or so…. That’s because my PC doesn’t have internet at home, and I’m home on Christmas break until January 12th.  I have my Mac Laptop that has a wireless card in it and I use it to connect, but Xanga isn’t extremely Mac friendly.  They’re getting better, but it still is a far cry from the world of PC.

Life is good.  I was sick for a couple weeks, then I shook it for a week and thought I was fine, but now I’m starting to get sick again…. ::sigh::  Stupid head colds…

I got some major computer upgrades done last Tuesday.  I thought they’d take at least 12 hours, but they only took 7.  I’m still in shock that they’ve worked as well as they have so far.  Very few errors or complaints!  It was a good day.

Sarah and I spent Christmas at our homes, then I went to Cinci to see her family over New Year’s Eve.  We played poker with my new poker chips (thanks Sarah! ), went shopping, went to the Cincinatti Zoo for the “Festival of Lights,” and we went to lunch with Mary and Adam (Sarah’s Maid of Honor and her fiance).  We had some good “hangtime” with Sarah’s parents and found out that Adam can play the piano like nothing I’ve ever seen…. He’s a mad man… He’s self-taught, only played for 6 years, but was playing some insane stuff that he wrote (fast enought that his fingers were blurry to the eye…. I picked my jaw up off the floor and laughed at his mad skills.)  We’ve asked him to play for our wedding, but don’t know if he’ll do it yet… more to come on that.

Now I’m trying to do a buttload of work in the remaining days of my “break.”  I’ve got to do a brake job/oil change on my car, format 20 or so computers and install Windows and all their drivers, clean my room and box up stuff to move to the apartment in April, set up a RIP for a printer at work, and somewhere do the normal duties of my job, eat, and sleep….. all in 7 days.  I don’t think I can do it all, so I have to prioritize what is important and work on those first…. Sleep is ranking pretty high right now.    But I don’t think it’s going to win.

OK, well, I gotta split.  I’m at work (during the 9:45am service) and the message just finished so I gotta pay attention now…. (I know, I’m so bad…. but I’ve heard the message three times by the time the day is over!)  Love, peace, and hair grease.
