Here are some new pictures of the 2005 Honda CR-V that we just bought!  As you can see, Tasha looks great in it and it has plenty of cargo room (even with the seats up!) for baby gear and Teddy.  I’m looking forward to playing with some of the features once Tasha gets back from […]

I spoke with the guy at the dealership again today, explaining to him our situation and that he’d have to figure out some way to work prices down.  I told him that nobody pays book value, and their chart where they show the comparisons with other listings doesn’t really work out because those other places […]

I’ve been shopping online for a bit, looking for a used crossover so we can haul Eve and her belongings around more effectively.  I came across Automotive Avenues, which is highly rated on DealerRater.com.  My experience begins on Friday, where I contacted them regarding some cars that I found via their webpage.  It took them […]

I got up and went to Church today, then I took some of the leftover cleaning supplies back to Wal-Mart.  Once I got home, I decided it was time to de-poop the backyard and I was amazed at the sheer volume of crap the dog can produce.  I took an entire tall kitchen bag full […]

We’re starting to get into a rhythm here at the house, and this schedule has me up at my normal hours getting Eve her late-night feeding.  I enjoy the bonding time, but it has (predictably) cut into time that I tended to work on side programming work.  That’s not a big deal, but today things […]

Tonight was my first excursion driving Tasha’s car on the open road!  We had truly spectacular winds today, with gusts exceeding 60 miles per hour.  Imagine my surprise when a guy driving ahead of me on a motorcycle BLEW OFF HIS MOTORCYCLE.  If I didn’t know any better, I would’ve thought he was on wires […]

The managers are away at a convention this week, so it was a fairly quiet day which led to pretty decent productivity.  After work, I wanted to spend some time working on my Dad’s ukulele project but when I got home it became clear I had to clean off my workspace again.  I took recycling […]

Today we went to Church, grabbed lunch at Denny’s, and then the work began.  Tasha was running out of energy by the time we got back.  This was fortunate, because I had plenty of work to do.  I’ve been putting off doing a bunch of cleaning tasks for quite awhile, so I started off with […]

I’m heading off to Jam Night at Walton Manor!  It’s going to be a good time, but I have to get rolling… there will be a better blog post tomorrow!
