Another Day, Another 50 Cents (before taxes):

I don't know what to say today. I'm just logged on and doing this so that I can say, "Hey, I've recently updated my blog." Because, before this post, I couldn't honestly say that. Now could I.

Really hum-drum weekend. I went to a BBQ festival with a friend on Saturday evening. It was up at Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort (note: summer in the title, so you know it doesn't close when the snow melts). Sadly, we got there at the tail end and the BBQ was sold out. So, we sat and had nachos and beer. I'm okay with that, though!!

Sunday, and this is where the weekend got really exciting, I just cleaned the house. I scrubbed, dusted, vaccuumed, polished, cleansed... you name it, I did it. I didn't clean the baseboards or light switches... like my girlfriend does. But, that's just me!

After I was done cleaning, and I sat down to relax, I saw my cat scurrying after something on the patio, and he was being stalked by two birds. Upon closer inspection, Stewie (the cat) had caught a little finch and brought it the patio for my approval. Apparently, the bird's friends didn't approve, though. I got Stewie, put him away, and went to help the poor little birdie... but I couldn't find him. I go out to have a beer on the patio later... and the dogs found the bird right away. I scooped him up with a shovel and put him in the bushes. I left Stewie inside today, to give all the birds a rest from his harassing ways!

Start another week here... good times.

I'm hoping to have some earth-shattering, exciting news in the very near future. Well, let's quantify that. I'm hoping to have two pieces of earth-shattering, exciting news. The first piece is my sister's pregnant, and I can't wait until he's born. Not only do I want to meet the little bugger, I want to know his name! So, that news should be coming down the pipe in the next week or two!

I hope to have more earth-shattering news... but I can't say anything until it's a done deal. It's still a bit shaky if it's going to happen, so I don't want to get (for the most part) my hopes up too much!!!

Well, keep tuning in... and you'll be like the 100th person to know my earth-shattering news. I mean, I gotta call my girl and family... you'll know shortly after.
