I've kind of gained a bit of a belly - it's as simple as beer and late-night cravings - so I've been successfully avoiding both things for about a week. If anyone here has worked off a belly in the past, I'm all for words of encouragement and advice. I'm not out of control by any means; I'm 5'11" and about 185 or so, so I know others have struggled from a much higher point than I, but I just don't feel like myself some days.

The Wolves were up 16-1 at one point last night. Oh well...I'm still bullish on them. I'll be at the home opener next Tuesday if any other Citizens are making it.

Woooooooooooooooooooo

The plan was to be into our home in about April or May, and now due to a fortunate set of circumstances, it could be as early as December or January. I cannot wait to be putting my money towards...you know, something.

This morning is (or was, for you late risers) my third attempt at getting a work certification done after an apartment fire got in the way of the first attempt and a scheduling snafu screwed up the second. By 10 in the morning I should be done with it, but as I drift off to sleep, I have serious difficulty seeing it happen.

The Milkmaid and I are starting the process of meeting with a mortgage broker to work on pre-house-buying crap. I get bored easily, so I'm wondering if there's a way to fast-forward to owning the place.

October is always our company's slowest month, which I forget year after year until it returns. So my interminably slow job has gotten slower.

I hope I get at least a little time to watch this. Skim's not exactly killing it in school right now, so she's commanding a lot of focus.
