Almost there....Week 33 and going...

Hey all, Just wanted to give a few quick updates on stuff happening around these parts :)

Nicole's shower was a hit! She never knew it until she saw her cousins by the door as we walked up to the room. She loved every minute of it and everyone had a good time :) I took the guys and we hit Hooters, then back to the condo for some 300, but by the time the action was about to start, mom called us back to pick everyone up. WE got back home and I grilled some burgers and dogs - then played Fluxx and Apples to Apples. By 10pm, everyone went home and we called it a night.

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone that attended and also those that could not but still sent a gift :) We are very fortunate to have good friends and family that are excited as we are.

BABY POOL IS STARTED! Yep! Sign up, use the link to the right and make a guess. Winner will have a party at thier crib for 2 with our new child - includes bedtime and a diaper change!! kidding... WE will see about a prize for the winner :)

Babys Room: Is almost done! Between the hours of working my ass off, some help from Amy and Nicole, and some good ol cash, the room is starting to come together nicely. The paint is up, the closet is done and fixed - including the doors, and the border paper is up. Check it out over at the Gallery.

Furniture comes today! YEP! Its in! Once they deliver it, I get to put the crib together and set that up. Then comes the touch up painting on spots that got damaged or where the paint never took. This weekend is ceiling fan weekend, bathroom door painting and master bedroom closet door replacement weekend. I'm going to replace the outlets, install the ceiling fan and also put the finishing touches on the window still - the blinds.

Once it is complete, I will take more pics and update the gallery, but also post a few in here.

IFL: The Fantasy Football league I run with 11 other crazy guys that think they are better than me lol.. WE are in the midst of our fantasy draft now. So far so good, but its the weekends that kill everything. Between people on travel, vacations and time zones, the email draft sometimes gets bogged down. Either way, the live draft weekend is looking good :) I just received my shipment of Sprechers Rootbeer and is waiting for fridge room that weekend. Pulled pork sandwiches and home made salsa will make it complete :) Doug and Rick are coming over this year to join myself, Dave B, Tony, Jason and Jerry. Amy 'volunteered' to help with the draft board and Nicole will run the chat room, as usual. In all, lots of fun to be had.

PAINTBALL: So far, its on hold, but the 26th could be the day for OTP. Its like a last call event for me, cause after that, my paintball career goes to slowdown mode for several months. I hope to make it.

XBOX: Joined a 2nd game rental place - this time it was Gamerang.com. They have 4 centers in the country, including one here in NJ. Im going to keep Gameznflix for now till the subscription runs out, then close the account. They just dont have the selection as the others do, but the price is good. Gamerang has a better selection and similar prices; I got 2 months for $20 promotion, so if they cant deliver in those two months, then they go bye bye.

We love the fridge - lots of room and water!! That was a fun night hooking up the water line thru the cabinets. When I drilled the holes, it was too far away from the wall behind the oven, so it stuck out several inches. I had to re-drill the holes, but in the end all is well.

Thats it for now - Look for a better update next time with some paintball, football draft pics and room pics :) Maybe I can update this faster as each thing happens.. :)
