You demanded; I listened. I'm back.

"What do you suggest, Number One?"
"I think it's time for a new post from J-Shizzle in G-Vegas, Captain."
Has anyone seen that new Dish Network commercial for Turbo HD television? Does anyone lse think it starts almost exactly like a razor commercial? (Think Mach III Turbo) Both are manly and exciting and... cutting edge. Get it?
We finally filled the open technician position on our team. His name is Ron, and I can tell already that we're going to get along splendidly. (especially in politics and faith matters)
We were out running a call at a fire station (PC was running a screensaver that appeared to be a blue screen of death and a reboot, LOL) so we decided to stop at Pizza Slut/Taco Bell. Ron said it best when he told me he only ate what the restaurant used to be, like it used to be only a Pizza Hut. This particular one used to be a Taco Bell. Nuff said.

Another home improvement: We found a kitchen cart at Home Depot for 60% off. It's the only thing I've purchased that I haven't returned.
We painted another wall last weekend. It's our Accent wall. Fancy, huh?
Yeah, it only took like 30 minutes. It would have been faster if we would have bought the 2nd quart to begin with. (And we spent the same amount as if we would have bought the full gallon, but what would we do with the rest..?)
I won a fancy award at work! It was for being nice to people or some crap. It took me by surprise, since it was presented during a regional phone conference. Go Josh!

How much are YOU paying for gas? Read'm and weap, suckers.

Obligatory shiny car picture after a full detail inside and out...

Oh, here's the swing that Erin and I have been drooling over for the last couple months. It was always the only one that was NOT on sale.

After checking on it week after week, we found it on sale. But sold out. Boooo.

We decided we coudn't pass up a new patio set for $75. Sure, it'll fit in the car! I think.

Well, they kind of fit. It took a couple return trips, but with Erin in the trunk, we got everything home. (You should have seen her sitting in the middle of the parking lot, on one of our new chairs)


We decided to try the "new" Ruby Tuesday. In case you didn't hear, Ruby Tuesday changed into this fancier, pricier, awkwarder Casual Dining place.

See? The menu is cooler.
Interior was definitely neat. It was quieter than it used to be...and designier.
The food was incredible, though! It was not expensive by any means, but it was definitely more premium.
The only part we didn't like, was the new "silent service" policy, where the waitress doesn't speak unless spoken to. It kinda creaped us out when she would just stand there and wait for a few moments. Anywho, check em out.

Everything else is going pretty well. We're continuing to repaint the rooms in the house...and continuing to put off mowing the lawn. Erin just started her class and we've been keeping busy with church and music. The weather has been really nice (90 for us is pretty darn comfy) but we'll start seeing some cool weather from the storm on the coast. (we're pretty safe from hurricanes up in the mountains!). Well, that's all I have for now! I'm going to go read Erin's blog now! mmmmmmmmmbubbye.
