Farrah and I made it home a few hours ago from our vacation in North Myrtle Beach, SC. we had a blast, at too much, and spent lots of money that we didn’t have. I’m sure one of us will be updating our MySpace pages with photos in the coming days.

Looks like all of my software on my PC is needing updated now… isn’t technology grand?

Wow, I have been seriously slacking. I only posted twice in the last month. Everyone must be thinking I’ve fallen off the end of the Earth or something.

Well, I am still alive. I’ve just been busy. Busy with what? Well work mainly. House work, yard work, work work, and getting back into shape work. Yes, I’ve been focusing hard on getting back into shape. I’ve been inactive for far to long, and I’ve finally gotten tired of it. In the last 4 weeks, I’ve managed to lose 9 pounds… though my goal isn’t exactly weight loss, that is a good sign that I’m doing something right. I feel better, look better, and have more energy.

I’m not alone in this either. My wife is also working on losing weight and getting back into shape. It’s a lot easier to do this when you’ve got someone helping keep you honest. ;)

Happy birthday to my wife who turns old…. er today. Heh, she’d kill me if I told the world how old she really is. All I can say is that she is older than me! lol So make sure you wish her a happy birthday.

Also, a happy birthday to our dog, Oskar. He turns one year old today. That’s 10.5 dog years!

Yesterday afternoon between about 12pm and 2pm someone broke into our house. Witnesses saw a male and female on our property with a dark (possibly red) vehicle. Looks like they entered the back yard from the driveway through the side fence,
made their way to the back porch, and then kicked in the back door.

They snatched about $2,500 worth of things, mainly games for the Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 2. They also took off with a couple of controllers, my Nintendo Wii, some DVDs, and the media trays that the games were sitting in. Thankfully they didn’t take anything else, despite the number of things in the general area that they were in.

They also didn’t harm our dog, which is pinned in the area where the back door is. I don’t know what I would have done had he been hurt.

Police believe that it was kids/teens that live in the area or were sitting close by watching the house, as they broke in when I left for the grocery store.

My wife has posted to her blog for the first time in half a year. Don’t get your hopes up though, as she’s only blogged to say that she plans on blogging. What a gal. lol

I was looking at my site’s stats for the past year via Google Analytics, and found some interesting stats. Well, at least they were interesting to me, you might not care one bit about them. :p According to the data reported:

  •  I’ve received 2x more traffic from Neowin.net than I have from OverclockersClub.com. I’ve only been active at Neowin since about May.
  • I’ve received almost as much traffic from my wife’s blog as I have from OverclockersClub.com.
  • Since switching to WordPress traffic appears to have increased. - Though this is more likely due to the fact that I’m posting more.
  • Yahoo brings in about 10% more search traffic than Google.
  • Altavista, which brings in very little traffic, still brings in more than Live and Ask.com combined.
  • The most popular search term is “viewmymessage.com”, which I was complaining about in this post.
  • Aside from the index or main page, the most popular pages here are the ones talking about Trillian Astra.

Well, we now have two of our Christmas’ out of the way. The wife and I opened our gifts tonight. Usually, I’d make her wait till a little closer to Christmas… and by a little closer to, I mean after. :p Now we just have Christmas at my grandfather’s house (mom, step-dad, brother, aunt, uncle, grandfather, and cousins), though that isn’t really for me as much as it is for him. Of course, getting to go and see him is more than enough for me. He’s the best! After Christmas there, then I get to have it with my mom (and brother, step-brother, and step-dad). But I’m still not done after that, sometime in the new year (probably July, lol) I’ll go see my dad and step-mom and have Christmas there.

So, what did I get?? Well, … Continue reading »

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and not just because we got a little bit of snow yesterday. Actually, what snow we did get yesterday didn’t amount to anything, but it was nice to see the little flakes. Nope, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here because yesterday we started our whole Christmas holiday with the in-laws.

Yup, we went over there, and opened gifts. The wife and I pretty well already knew what we were getting from her parents, even though this is the first year that she hasn’t been able to peek. lol Like most people with a new house, we got house stuff. Towels, sheets, pillows for the couch, curtains, a new front door, tile for the entry way, and even hard wood flooring for the living room and hallway. I must say, I’m more excited about the last three items than anything else.

Now, come the new year I get to move all of our furniture out of the living room so the hired hand can come in and lay the new floor. I’m not so excited about that, especially since our (my!) old 36″ TV weighs a good 500 lbs. Oh well, at least I’ll have a new floor instead of this nasty carpet that was left by the previous owners.

Now it’s time to go surprise the wife and let her open her gifts from me. She thinks I’m going to make her wait until after Christmas. Tehehehe.

See this blog? It’s my wife’s very un-updated and pink blog. It’s so neglected, it hasn’t been updated since June 4th. Good thing it wasn’t a puppy or a baby, otherwise it would be long dead of neglect. Who thinks she needs to post something?

Just for a reference, June 11th would have been our anniversary, so she didn’t even post about that!
