December 2010

After our little separation I think Kris and I really appreciate each other more now and appreciate the little things. Christmas was pretty good, I actually took the entire weekend off, which is something I hardly ever do. Christmas found me playing Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare and cleaning while watching the Big Bang Theory on DVD. We got a lot of great presents this year, DVDs and video games are great, especially when they are ones that you can enjoy with your loved one.

The day after Christmas we got pounded with a blizzard. I managed to get out and back before things got really bad, I had some shopping to do to check and see if I had a bad hard drive or what. It was a pretty inexpensive piece, but I held off on buying it until the Christmas rush was over. I figured a blizzard would be a good time since the majority of people would be buying snow shovels since they threw the ones they had last year away and canned goods. I was right.

In recent weeks I set up a task manager on here for my clients and so I can keep track of different things that need to be done for them. I still need to add tasks for this site there, though right now my main task for it is to try and get my own compiled version of PHP up and running for a new project I hope to launch in or late January/early February. It will be kind of like the TGP I launched a while back, only will be updated more often. I know it seems like I have abandoned this site lately, but believe me I am just behind. I do still have big plans.

There’s only a few days until Christmas. This year seems extra busy for us, Thursday we are heading out with some friends, Friday we are going to Kristen’s mother’s house for dinner, Saturday Kris is cooking then Sunday she is having more family over and cooking again. She has to work on Christmas Eve and I am basically working from home everyday except Wednesday. We decided that we don’t take nearly enough pictures, not anywhere near as many as we used to take either, so we are going to try and take some more pictures, starting this week.

The last few weeks I have been able to focus when I need to and do some time management, when I am not working I am not doing anything especially exciting. In the last week or so I was doing Christmas shopping in between doing work. I picked up a new, possibly big client in the last few days, so we will see how that plays out too. Basically money has been tight, but still coming in steadily to the point that if things continue the way they’ve been going we will be able to pay off some of this debt soon after our trip next week.

We are heading away for New Year’s, Kris took New Year’s Eve off so we will be heading out to Ronkonkoma and then having dinner and drinks at Smokey Bones. Then the rest of the weekend we’ll play by ear.

Things are definitely better than they have been and it looks as though we have an overall plan and a few minor plans to meet the bigger goals. It’s going to be interesting to see if we can do what we want, but for the next few weeks it’s just living in the moment, after that I guess we’ll see where we are and when.

If you have been following Krissy’s blog the last few weeks you would have seen what’s been going on. In all honesty there was a lot more to it that was personal between us, but I won’t be getting into that here. I just wanted to say that we are together now and we are happier than ever, we have a lot of plans for the future, both business, personal, and joint, so hopefully it won’t be long before we are telling you about those new and exciting things. Hope you are all doing well, I will be posting more soon.
