Monthly bleeding event gets better

Hey all...

Well its the monthly bleeding of the checking account..

Mortgage for a condo = alot
Association fee for the monthly gardeners to mow the weeds and dirt = $150
Comcast ripoff service for spotty internet and compressed HDTV = $150
PSEG power for not having any air or heating used in the month = $180
Car insurance for regular no problem drivers living in the worst state possible = $170
1 weeks worth of food for a family of 2 with a baby = $100

Tell you what, I'm not sure what is going on in the world today, but one thing is for sure - service and fees are not what they should be. Our association does NOTHING for us at all. No new grass, no new trees, no fixing the parking lots.. nothing..

comcast - dont get me started, but I will say that I will go to work for free for Verizon to get FIOS to the complex if it helps them get to the harbour faster... Total ripoff for what you get - look at the Mojo channel for a concert and you will see your 'HDTV' service from them..

Id like nothing but to stay at home and do nothing this weekend, but i know what will happen.. studying for a midterm, catching up on homework and doing the chores around the house = nothing fun.

The highlite of my morning was seeing Nicole off and seeing Chris wake up all smiles.

Sping Spring Spring!

Yep - Its Spring! Time for work... and Babies!

Susan had her 2nd. Travis Ronald Scheck; 6lb,1oz; born on the 4th in the morning. He got the maiz nose and the rest is all Eric. Pics to follow online soon :D Congrats Susan and Eric!

This weekend we took the entire attic out this weekend, basically went thru every bin and box, trashed alot of stuff and repacked things better. The only ones we didnt touch too much were the Christmas items as we will get them down this winter.. Overall, it took about 5 hours total and with help from Amy and Dad, we got er done!

KITCHEN- got a floor plan, looked at different styles and types, and I think we have a winner. The Lowes has a basic oak cabinet from Diamond Reflections Cabinets; Looks good. The bottom line price for cabinets is a tad high, but it looks like it should be a majority of the costs. The rest will be laminate counter tops, a new over-the-range microwave, and a possible new dishwasher. Aside from the new green-walls, a new vinal floor and paint, the only other thing would be to take out the grey/blue carpet in the living room and replace it with the pergo wood floor stuff from Sam's club.

SCHOOL: Started last week and is well underway. Lab3- not too tough, but has a tough instructor. should be better since I have a reliable lab partner.... makes all the differance in the world.. DPS (Digital Signal Processing) on the other hand, will be a bitch. Book showed up JUST TODAY and the instructor is not too web savvy= lost of late homework assignments online and as-i-teach assignments (" Ok, you need to do this by next week' was a phrase i heard alot last Thursday night).

GAMING: Man I miss board games.. someone needs to do something; get a BBQ going, hold a poker night.. game-a-thon.. I don't care. My dice are collecting dust and my rules knowledge is going bye-bye :P I hope to soon have something on a saturday afternoon again, but with the big projects on the horizon, who knows.. AS for online- WOW is good so far- our guild Circle of Friends, is well. WE have about 8-9 total members with 2-4 characters each..

Xbox has been good still; R6V2 is out in full force and not without their problems - check out the glitch = OPPS!

MORE QUICK HITS:
* Sunday= Franklin institute: should be good (Were gonna miss you Dave, Allie and Ashley..)
* IRONMAN: CANT.. WAIT... ANY .... LONGER....
* Comic convention NY- looks like alot of fun; COMPARE- Philly comiccon gets IRON SHEIK, they get Stan Lee.. any questions!


Have fun!
