Here's What's Happening

Well, we've often bragged about the warm NC seasons. Well now we're getting a taste of the shivers. We've had a couple days were the overnight temps were pressed to reach double digits and the afternoon highs were less than 32. Naturally, it seems short lived and temps will be moving up in the low 50s so I guess we will endure the hardship for a while.

Alice has been very busy working on their new sales trailer. They are cutting costs wherever possible, so doing a lot of the work themselves has saved a ton of money. And from all accounts, the sales trailer looks great. It has high visibility and we are excited about the possibility this new community presents for the entire company.

Our desktop computer has some problems so it is in the shop. I'm thankful we have our laptop to keep things moving otherwise I'm sure we would have some sort of technical withdrawal. After all, what is life without MySpace, Facebook, Yahoo, Google and the like? What did we ever do without them?

Alice is still deciding on new paint colors for the hall, and various bedrooms. So the brushes are put away for awhile. I think she's had enough painting from her other project to last her a few months. But the colors she is looking at are nice. There is something about painting. Each house we've lived in never really seemed to be "ours" until it had the Alice-touch.

Things at my job, OfficeMax, are proving to be a lesson in life for me. I know there are times when my testimony is flawed and that bothers me. Then there are times when I wonder how people can be so rude to other people. I suspect I've been to long away from the business world. Can't say I missed it! :) But - on the plus side - I'm getting some great new material to add to my book on Customer Service!

Eli is having a great time. He litters the house with his toys and always finds ways to make us laugh. I'm truly convinced, a house is not a home without a dog.

Well, just got the "on my way home" call from my honey. So I better put an end to this and work on dinner! Maybe pork fried rice tonight. That sounds yummy!
