Week of October 22, 2007



Good:
1. We had our annual Halloween Party. We had a really nice evening. Ever year it is a mad dash to the finish line. This year was slightly better. We still worked until the last minute – but it was less rushed and the issues we worked were minor details. The new buffet worked out really well. It kept all the Hot food Hot. As well my slightly used GI-Joe shirt that I bought on Ebay worked really well too. Jen did a fantastic job with the food and she looked really great in her Tinkerbelle outfit.
2. We were able to get a unit sold off and began HALT Testing. So far it has gone well. We’ve been able to keep testing without too many issues.
3. Jen went to the Children’s Place and saw a good deal. She found 4 items of clothes for Keegan marked down from $45 to $36. When she went to pay she was shocked when they rang up to only $3.45 – apparently they were on clearance too!

Bad:
1. So I don’t weed wack as often as I should – heck I don’t cut the grass as often as I should. Well before having everyone over for the Halloween party I decided I needed to week wack. It has been probably a month since I’ve weed wacked. Anyway I couldn’t get it started. I don’t know how many times I ripped that cord – my arm hurts today. Anyway after some keen detective work I determined that I most likely needed fresh gas. I’ve had the same gas for about 4 years and figured that the manual that said not to let the gas go for more than 30 days was finally catching up with me. That did the trick and I was able to get the property in shape.
2. Jen went through a big ordeal to get Chico to agree to send her a new umbrella stroller. Well we got it – which is good – but it isn’t the right color. In stead of trying to fight the system we’re going to deal with a wobbly wheel sometimes and a green stroller sometimes – depending on the situation.
3. Keegan hasn’t been sleeping well. He’s been waking up every couple of hours. He’s really moving around in the crib. When we go in and check in on him he’s turned side ways and his body is all contorted, very odd.
