05.10.09Hoping For Normalcy SoonHopefully things will get back to normal around here soon. We are hoping that the Wife's Aunt gets back into her house today. The water has gone down enough that the backway should be travelable soon. I don't mind having houseguests, but her Aunt has been here since Easter, and Grandma and Grandpa have been here for two weeks. It's getting a little long. Yesterday it was just me and the Grandparents at home all day. I am not much of a people person to begin with, but how much do I have in common with ...

12.05.08Off to See WickedI have this weekend off, but it going to be a busy one. We are heading back to our home town for the weekend. My Mom recently bought a piano, and she wants to get rid of her china hutch to make room for the piano, so we are taking the hutch. It would be tough to pack for the weekend and get everything in the cab of my truck, so we rented a trailer for the hutch. They wanted $133 to rent a trailer to haul one way, but only $15 a day if we bring it back to ...

11.27.08Happy ThanksgivingI hope everybody is having a happy Thanksgiving. I wish we were having Thanksgiving. I have been married eight years, and it is still weird when I miss a holiday with my family. My family has rock solid traditions. Thanksgiving dinner is always on Thanksgiving, at Grandma's house, at noon, not 11:30, not 12:30, but noon. Now it's been moved to my Aunts house since my Grandma is getting up there in age and has downsized to an apartment. The Wife's family celebrates holidays on different days sometimes to work with people's schedules, so I won't ...

11.26.08Thanksgiving WeekendThis year we are spending Thanksgiving with the Wife's family. We usually go to her Aunts house here in Fargo. Fargo is pretty centrally located for our families, so everybody heads here. Well, her Aunt's house is a mess because they are remodeling a couple of rooms. That means everybody is going to be at our house. I hate having a house full of people. Our house is also smaller than her Aunt's, so it's going to be a little crowded. We are putting heaters and tables in the garage so everybody has ...

08.18.08He is Out (Hopefully)So we game my Brother-in-law a three month noticed that we wanted him to move out. In that three months his didn't look for a place at all. We were nice and gave him one more month, and he still hasn't starting looking, and now that college is starting, all the cheap apartments are gone. When he got his current job he said it paid pretty good, so he quit his other part time job. This week we found out that his pretty good is only $8.50. I don't know how a person could live ...

08.07.08Vacation TImeIn about two hours we are heading out of town. My Mom rented a cabin on a lake, and the wife and I, and my Brother and his wife will be there all weekend. There will be no Internet for me until Sunday night. It might actually be kinda nice, but I am dreading how much catchup I will have on Sunday night, but it shouldn't be too bad. So long until Sunday Night.

08.07.08Brother-in-law UpdateSo when my In-laws were up for the weekend the Wife talked to them about her Brother. We both want him out bad. Since the chance of him actually calling on apartments is pretty slim, the In-laws called on a few. They found one that he likes, but it was up to him to go back and sign all the paperwork and stuff. Well, it's been almost a week and he hasn't gone back. Who knows if that apartment is still open now. The Wife said if he doesn't have a signed lease by ...

07.10.08Blocked PornSo I was looking at my browser history and I noticed my Brother-in-law was browsing porn last night. He was only on one site, so I blocked it. It's not that I am against porn, I just don't like the thought of him spanking it in my computer chair. He never use to use my computer, but now that the wife has her laptop we took down her desktop. Her computer was the one his usually used. I am pretty anal when it comes to my computers. I don't like other people messing with ...

05.30.08Weekend RecoveryWow, it's Friday already. I am still catching up on stuff from the weekend. It was a crazy five day weekend. It started with a sad day at my friends fathers funeral last Friday. Then Saturday we spent the day with the wife's family, grilled out, and had a good time. Sunday we headed up north for a three hour drive for my cousin graduation. It was my youngest cousin, so it was the last graduation in our family for quite some time. Monday was the usual Memorial Day services. We have ...

05.08.08Short MarriageIt still seems weird when people that have gotten married after us get divorced. To me I still feel like a newlywed, but I guess after eight years that title no longer really applies. Where have the last eight years went? Yesterday we heard that the Wife's cousin is getting divorced. They just got married last summer. They wanted to save money on pictures, so they had me take their wedding pictures. Everybody thought they turned out great, I thought they were only so-so, but then I am probably my biggest critic. Maybe it was ...

05.07.08Brother-in-law RantSo my Brother-in-law is still living with us. I am pretty sick of him living here. The wife told him he has to move out by August 1st. We will see what happens. My guess is he will quit his job and not be able to move out because he has no money. He actually got a full time job about a week ago. It's a little nicer around here with him gone all day, and now he goes to bed at night instead of making a bunch of noise and keeping everybody up ...
