Thankful...

Thanksgiving has come and gone. As always, I am thankful for my life and health. But, I am very thankful to have Kristy in my life. She really means the world to me, and I really hope she stays forever.

I didn't get a chance to mention it yet. But, I went back down to Tennessee. I had another great time. Besides all the time I got to spend with Kristy (which was awesome in of itself), I made progress in the job front. I had 2 interviews down there (one went good, the other went crappy), and I also came across several more leads that I am in the midst of following up on (as well as the usual submission of jobs and all). I am thankful for the help Kristy gave with it (what she could), and that while it seems I may not be down there by the end of November, Christmas is one I will be shooting for, especially with the weather.

Speaking of the weather, I was in Tennessee when the middle part of the state had a record outbreak of tornadoes. That was interesting. Though, I did have to get a weather radio (to get a balanced idea of what's going on because I didn't have Internet access) since I thought the local media tended to lean on sensationalist when it came to reporting serious stuff. Then, when I get home, we get winter weather... snow... freezing cold... you name it. Tonight alone the low is supposed to be 8 degrees with a windchill of around 10 below. This is after we got 4 inches for Thanksgiving.

Dinner was great though... I killed off my mom's broccoli cuz it was good. This was the first year I bought something to go with it (the alcohol/non-alcohol drinks). It went great with dinner.

That's it for now. I published my 5th annual special thanks rambling. Much of the same except for one or two new things (like Kristy :)).

Yay for shit!

As they say... shit happens.

Over the past two days, I've been shoveling out my room... took out 5 bags of trash that was not needed, as well as clothes I haven't worn in ages. In addition, I got rid of stuff my brother left in my room (under my bed) when I was away at college. I also found a long lost book (Our Dumb Century by the Onion) and my RCT2 manual. On the other hand, my nail clippers walked.

I thought that was it... until I was working on something around my TV stand and well, my less than 11 month old TV took a spill to the ground.

Good news... the TV itself works, and any AV inputs work. Bad news... when it spilled, the cable to the outdoor antenna managed to rip out the CATV/Antenna input on the TV.

Well, I looked at it, and given what ripped out, I knew it would cost me more (in terms of time, parts, and labor) to repair it than to get a new one.

Despite the fact that I am moving... I just spent $124 on my 2nd TV in less than a year. Thank god Wal-Mart in Owosso had them in stock (they are the only ones that carry Sanyos, and I like their TVs). I'm supposed to be conserving my spending too. Though, to comfort my anger, I'm kind of glad that the supercenter aspect opened because I got myself a 6 pack of Miller Lite.

With the moving... I am moving to TN around the end of the month (provided the apartment search goes well).

Just get me to update this more often, ok?
