i've been around the world...

...and now i'm bored.

p-man and i finished our trip around the phileas world with a bang. a fun, festive party, complete with cake (thanks christy!), and lots of good friends. so glad that we've met so many great people since we've moved here.

other than that, same ol' shizzo. the hubby is on the road again, with no signs of slowing...but, it's for good reason. and really, i'm not bringing home a paycheck, so who am i to complain? he's busting his ass, and i'm damn proud.

doggie birthdays are coming up! the puppenheimers are getting up there...peanut will celebrate #13 on friday (3.06), and max will hit the big 1-4 next thursday (3.12). and lets not forget our little molly and chico....while they are far away in miles, they are never far from my heart. molly will be 14 a week from saturday (3.14), and obviously, chico shares #13 with his brother, peanut on 3.06.

and now...back to my leftover oggi stix, lindemans bin 56 chardonnay, and idol.

g'nite.

#80

well, folks, on saturday, p-man and i will be consuming the final beer in our "around the world in 80 beers" beer club at phileas. we've saved the best for last -

here come the troops!

so excited....southwest DING fares have prompted an influx of visitors in march! patty, followed by craig and spud...so excited!

this one's for you...

...mark. post post post post about nothing nothing nothing.

:D

maybe i shouldn't blog

why? because i never have anything good to say. pretty much everything i have to say, i say on FB, so why bother repeating? at first, thought it would give me something to do, but really, i don't need another social networking site, or the like, to keep up. but yet, i love my blog. it contains virtually nothing, but i love its existence. primarily because i think the name "guitarley" is cool. props to p-man for that one.

update? not really. francis and chester are still hanging in there...despite humidity and temperature inconsistencies.

i am currently watching a show about autistic savant identical twins who, among other things, are infatuated with $100,000 pyramid. this is mildly entertaining. i wish i was that smart.

and i wish i had made something better for dinner. something better than 4-day old leftover pizza from brickoven. it was tasty on day 0, but on day 5, not so much.

i should spend a little less time on PPM, too.

one of these days, if i ever figure out if anyone actually reads this, maybe i'll write more. until then, you all (and by all i mean, all 1 of you), get this mindless dribble. :D

potent potables

i think that's a not too infrequent jeopardy category. i don't have a whole lot to say other than, i decided that i should leave the house more. working at home was fine, well, when i was actually working. but now, my "job" is to find a job, and while i pine away at that "job" for nearly 7-8 hours every single day, it becomes more and more exhausting.

moving is on the horizon, but again, waiting for that call that means we are once again a dual-income family. yup, lots riding on that....

oh, i am also more than 1/2 way around the world in the "80 beers around the world" club at philleas. way to go. really, all that means is that i drink too much beer.

jan 20

well, i successfully missed the live broadcast of the inauguration of our new president. but, all for a good reason, was doing "job stuff" - no not "work", because chances are, if you're reading this, you know i'm what i'll call "in between jobs" at the moment. so, hopefully i'll catch the replay later.

wishing my friend norm well in his new venture in GA. Yeah Norm!

all in all, a good day. few minor successes, which at this point, i'll take.

dinner tonight - homemade french bread pizzas!

End of 2008 Update

wow, i really haven't posted anything in a while. i guess just too busy wrapped up in the job search. with any luck, that will be over soon.

i guess an update is in order, eh? since i last posted, we enjoyed a holiday trip to chicago, saw both fams, caught up with old friends, and made a few new ones, as well. while we certainly miss the peeps, we do NOT miss the weather. ;)

saw the band 2x - ontario, ca and san diego. good times. VERY good times. meeting a lot of great folk thru SCUYA too.

no crab passings to report, thank goodness.

peanut is keeping healthy, for the most part. still a little worried about his pancreas, but he "seems" to be feeling ok. we will see. max is max. nothing changes there.

need to play my guitar more.

need to ride my harley more.

chargers are out of the playoffs...season over :(

working my way thru the 80 beer club at philleas. i would guess i'm nearing the 1/2 way mark as of last night. ugh, last night.

planning (hopefully) a trip to vegas next month. also planning (hopefully) a trip to cleveland in april for the RRHOF induction of the band.

will try and be better about posting.

no, i didn't forget

things have been very busy lately. if anyone is actually reading this, there's a good chance you know I am no longer with Nielsen. taking my time, looking for the right opportunity is how i spend my days now.
we spent our first anniversary on the beautiful island of maui, hawai'i. pics on facebook. it was a truly spectacular trip.

dogs are good, crabs are hanging in there. hubby has become a road warrior.

my diet now consists of pizza and beer.

it's been a while...

sorry for the lag in my posts. lots of things going on at the moment. will get back on track soon.
