Week in review

April 14th, 2008

Below is the picture of our latest little fisherperson to join the groggy clan.

As for today, the internet connection was down thanks to our Netgear router that is only two or so months old. I had to unplug the dang thing from the power outlet and plug it back in before we were able to get back online. Seems like the 2nd time something like this has happened. So if you tried to check out the blog and it wasn’t connecting, blame it on NetGear. We went to the Georgia Renaissance Festival that’s located just south of the ATL this past Saturday. We’ve gone there last year with the baby and it was decent so we decided to go back this year and bring some friends. I’ll have some pictures up in the next post. We spent yesterday just watching TV and ordering in Chinese food. As for me, it’s back to work bright and chipper this Monday morning. It’s evening now and all is well. Blog at ya later!

Happy Birthday to me!

April 7th, 2008

Well, another year since my last birthday has come and gone. I am 39 today! Wow. One year closer to the big 4 0. We’re gonna celebrate it this Saturday at Katherine’s parents’ house. We went fishing yesterday since the weather was bad the Sunday prior. I caught a trout but she came off the hook after I pulled her out of the water. Katherine caught 2. I was using red wigglers. She was using PowerBait. I’ll have a picture of Lily on the dock holding my fishing pole in a post or two.

And along comes Friday!

March 28th, 2008

Well, thankfully Friday has arrived. The week could have been better (at least for my wallet).

Volvo (1989 Volvo Station Wagon) got sick. We had to take her to the Volvo Service Center to get checked out. Well, $1200.00!!! later she’s back on the road. Over $800.00 in parts alone!

Note to self, don’t buy foreign vehicles (no matter what the intial price) or at least find a repair shop that understands a workingman’s budget. I’m raising a baby and feeding a mommy on a single income.

It’s got to be certainly the start of a good weekend since the week was kinda rough. For dinner tonight you will find that, yes indeed,  Lily Likes Spaghetti a bunch! We’re all going (including Katherine’s father) fishing Sunday at Dockery Lake in the North Georgia Mountains. For Sunday, the high is looking around the mid-50s with cloudy skies. That should be just find to swarm those trout and any catfish that may come along. I purchased my fishing license online today (yes, with a trout stamp). Now that we bought a $100 deep freezer (from Home Depot a year or so ago), we have ample room for killings of all sorts!

Happy Easter!

March 24th, 2008

To celebrate Easter, Katherine, Lily, and I went to Gimza Polish Restaurant in Norcross, GA. We had cutlets, croquettes, pierogies, potato puree, mizeria, poppy seed cake and honey cake. It was tasty indeed. Saturday we went over to Katherine’s sister’s house and met up with everyone for a BBQ which consisted of chicken and shrimp as the main course. Yes, it was a weekend of feasting.

Praise be to Saints…

March 17th, 2008

Well, we were able to both celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and mourn all in one night. Rod always said he liked Harp so I couldn’t deny him one (or was it two) last pleasures and some Bushmills to assist.

Harps and Bushmills

Baby had a hot dog, fries, and pickle. Mommy had a portabello mushroom sandwich. Daddy had a beer brat with homemade potato chips and a pickle!
