Insanely Awe-dical

I wrote this post about a week ago, and never posted it, so here it is.  I’m not late on my mortgage; I sent it around the 2^nd; so actually this is about 2 weeks old

I sent the check this morning, and I am officially spending lots of money on the living arrangement I am lucky enough to have nowadays.  The money doesn’t seem so bad, and I intend to keep it that way. 

I finally got my Wii; my first line-up at BB at 7am proved unsuccessful, but luckily I wasn’t forced to wait until their 10am open time to realize they only had 20-30 or so in stock, while I waited behind 40 or so hopeful parents.

I was able to get my Wii a couple weekends ago, lining up at yet again 7am at a Best Buy, but being 18^th in line (and the ad saying all BB stores guaranteed to have at least 20), I felt fine.  The large Chinese family in front (the ones whom I saw camping out the night before) had grown from 4 or 5 teenagers/young adults to a steaming group of festering families. 

Regardless I still got the number 18 and was able to get in and successfully purchase the Wii.  I enjoyed my wait since the guy in front of me brought his DS also, and we ended up rocking the new SMB multi-player modes which were great.  Unfortunately for him, I’m awesome at video games, even the little puzzle games new SMB has for multi-player, and I dominated him big-time.  This sort of power does come with responsibility – I feel the need to dominate at all times, and become a wimpering baby if I cannot. 

Last two weeks have been crazy at work.  Two Fridays ago, I was forced to press on at work until a horrible 9:30 pm.  The weekend was fun, but long, and the following week we jumped right back on the horse, and I went to Fresno for the week to meet with our clients.  We had *some* issues, and this week we are working long hours to take care of business. 

On a good note, I have excellent rapport with the people I work with (my two bosses), and they both see potential in me in different ways, so I’m happy with my position in the company.  With this product, we can blow up (in a good way) and that would put me in a very nice position. 

I’ve been feeling fairly grounded lately though; coming home to Kate every day is an absolute blessing – for those of you that aren’t quite sure (Pat, Barbra, Rowena, etc…), Kate and I *do* live together now, along with our very cute and very funny beagle, Snatch.  Coming home to my girls has been great, and I love the house and am very happy where I am now.  I just need to get the backyard done, get that ceiling fan installed, and every thing from there is business-as-usual. 

I’ve been loving Wii Sports and Wario Ware; the Wii multi-player potential is incredible.  SD Crew came last weekend, and made their own Miis and we had a great time.
