My pics from the Yard

Last week I was outside one night after work with my camera and snapped some pics. I put them up online tonight on my flickr account. You can check them out here.

Work went by pretty fast today. I got one estimate pretty much finished and a couple more I need to work on tomorrow. I hope the rest of the week goes by fast.

Really not much else to write about. I started watching "Twilight" tonight but just couldn't get into it so I turned it off and watched "Tremors 2" instead. I needed to get "twilight" watched so I could send it back to netflix. Its been sitting around the house now for a couple of weeks. Tomorrow morning its going in the mailbox back to netflix.

Good Game Deal

Today starts Best Buy's $10 game sale and I was hoping to pick up a couple of games but I was unlucky. I wanted to get the Singstar Country bundle and Silent Hill Homecoming. I needed the bundle because I need new mics but my best buy had none left. The same thing goes for silent hill. I think I'm gonna import the wireless mics. My blue wired mic doesn't work anymore so I haven't been able to play singstar. Its been sad. I did pick up Grand Theft Auto China Town wars for $15. They have the game on sale this week for $20 and I had a $5 reward zone coupon. I have to say for $15 its a great game. I've played it for a couple of hours today.

The weather has been great this weekend, with a few rain showers. Yesterday I did some work out in the yard and we put out some solor landscape lights. Today haven't really did any work out in the yard but did go down to Coloma to an antique mall. It was a clutter store. It didn't have the kind of clutter I like. I need to get back into my Funko collecting.

I'm watching the Indy car race from Kansas right now. Its so nice to watch it in HD on versus. I didn't even know we got Versus HD until last night when I was going through the channels. After the race is done I might run out to wal-mart or meijer. I need to restock the kitchen along with the chest freezer I got last weekend.

I took some pictures around the house the other night. I gotta get them posted. I might do that tonight. If I do I'll put a link on here to them.

The weekend is over

I'm ending my weekend like I do every weekend. I'm in front of the tv watching celebrity apprentice. I missed the first few weeks of the show but have been watching it the last month or so. My favorite has to be Joan Rivers. I hope she makes it all the way to the end. I've noticed in the past few weeks that its pretty predictable who stays and who goes. Trump is pretty much looking at the losing team and picks the least popular person to go home. Its pretty smart for him and the producers. You don't want to get rid of your most famous and leave boring nobodies to win.

Friday night after work the weather was perfect and I went outside and cleaned out one of the flower beds in front of the house. The bed was a mess with leaves and left over dead plants from last summer. There were also some daffodils and other plants coming back and I wanted to start from scratch. I got everything cleaned out and then planted some new bulbs. I picked up a 100 pack of mixed bulbs and planted them. I then put down some new mulch. The bed looks a lot better now and when the bulbs grow it will look really good this summer.

Saturday I woke up and was sore all over. I guess the couple of hours I spent working in the yard was harder on my body than I thought. I spent all day taking it easy and lucky me had to go to work for 4 hours. When I got home from work I laid down in bed and stayed there all night. I did get some gaming in. I picked up Kingdom Hearts 2 on clearance at Target last week so I started playing that.

Today I woke up feeling a lot better and did some cleaning around the house. The weather was dreary so we spent most of the day inside. We did venture out to Menards and picked up a chest freezer for the house. It's going to be nice to be able to buy a lot of stuff when its on sale and have a place to store it all. Its always been a problem before because I could never load up on good deals because once I got home I knew it was going to be hard to put everything away.

I'm not looking forward to Monday morning getting here but I gotta go to work so I can make some moola.

As the Blogger Rolls

Yeah so Its been a few weeks since the last post. I've been busy with work the last couple of weeks. I think right now I have 6 or 7 estimates to do. I'm hoping tomorrow I will be able to catch up on a few more of them. While its nice to have lots to do at work, it sucks because its taking me so long to get them done.

The weather is finally getting nice, I have to work Saturday afternoon but the rest of the weekend I'm hoping to be outside working in the yard. We are going to start a garden. We got some seeds last weekend to plant in the garden once the weather is right. This weekend we need to get the yard cleaned up. I need to get rid of all the old dead plants that we didnt get cleaned up in the fall. As well as the branches and leaves. I also need to get some bulbs planted in one of the flower beds.

A few weeks ago I got an email from Netflix telling me they were going to raise my monthly fee if I wanted to keep blu-ray movies. I wasn't going to pay an additional $4 a month for the access so I dropped back down to just standard dvd's. It sucks I can't rent the movies in hi-def but at least the PS3 does a really good job of up convertings dvds so I can survive. This paragraph is all over the place and doesn't make sense. I'm just rambling. I just started watching Silent Hill on dvd. I hope I don't get too scared.
