I find myself feeling a bit mopey this 4th of July evening. It's been kind of a lackluster day overall, and I just find myself feeling quite alone at home tonight. I had no 4th plans to speak of, but even if I did, I likely would have had to pass, as I'm on-call. And sure enough, I've been called off and on for stuff that needed to be fixed, deleted and/or looked at.

So even if I had tried to sneak out, I likely would have had to turn right around and come home as it wasn't stuff I could just do over the phone.

So I just discovered yesterday that the evil Bitch Next Door neighbor lady has hired MY yard guy to do her lawn. When I came home from work early yesterday, I saw him working on her yard!

I feel so betrayed! ;)

So I finally hooked up my XBox to my new computer since it's Windows Media Center, and now I'm streaming the first episode of the TV show Dexter straight to my XBox from Netflix.

It's a beautiful thing!

Although I must admit I was a little creeped out when my XBox turned on my PC for me...

I look forward to the day when a text message to Kyle consists of "What do you want for dinner?" instead of "I miss you already! Don't get on the plane!" :(

Finally moving again :-)

We're not going anywhere anytime soon. Just walked up to the front of the accident and there are 7+ cars still mangled on the road plus a semi

We're bored so we're playing a game of Who's Hot In The Traffic Jam? Lots of hot DILFs on the road today!

Stuck on I85 N just outside of LaGrange sitting behind a nasty accident. At least the company is handsome and entertaining

How does one pronounce the dessert wine, Steindorfer Trockenbeerenauslese?

Be vewy, vewy quiet! I have LJ access from the office today....

Happy birthday to rileymccarthy today! Hope you have a great day today! :)

In watching this special, it makes me wonder why Hollywood even bothers making movies or having the Oscars if all of the "best movies" were made 40+ years ago.

So I must have done something to my foot yesterday at the gym, because it started hurting last night, and I've spent the better part of the day, limping around like Igor from Young Frankenstein. It's pretty much isolated to the ball of my foot, just under my big toe, and it's a constant, dull ache, particularly when I bend it or put pressure on it.

Hopefully, it's nothing more than a pulled muscle, but a friend today suggested that it could be a bone spur. I've never had one of those before, and I'm not sure at what age I really have to start worrying about them. Hopefully, that's not the case, because that would kinda suck. I'm just now getting into a routine where I do 25 minutes or cardio in the morning before and then lift or more cardio in the afternoon. I was doing quite well with it until my on-call week from Hell. I've been a few times this week, but between an unexpected late night working and now this thing with my foot, I haven't been able to get back into my routine.

Kinda sucks!


I've got my foot elevated in here on my computer desk right now, watching a little TV and playing around with a new toy, the Spore Creature Creator. It's basically the precursor to a cool looking PC game coming out in the next few months, so I jumped at the chance to get a sneak peek at it.

Here are the weird and random things that my twisted little mind has churned out.

Just now getting to bed after working even though I wasn't on call. Maybe I just earned a shiny new comp day for when Kyle is here next week :)

Can someone explain to me what metered ramps to freeways do besides back up surface streets, make me waste gas and waste an extra ten minutes?

Kyle is (hopefully) fast asleep in bed right now. He crashed hard lying in my lap on the sofa when we got home from dinner with Jacki wintersallen, her husband Scott, and Kelly mankelly. When he woke up, he said he had a pretty massive headache, so he popped some ibuprofen and then crawled into bed. I wasn't tired and knew I would toss and turn while he tried to sleep, so I opted to stay up for a little while and crawl into bed when I got a little more sleepy.

We've had a wonderful weekend so far together, as they all seem to be. We've had some good laughs, some good lovin', some good talks and good times with our friends. We've gone out to lunch with my co-workers, hung out with some of my friends, we saw the new Indiana Jones movie (B- .... Didn't love it, didn't hate it).

It's just been an all-around good weekend.

As we were curled up on the sofa last night watching the mid-season finale of Battlestar Galactica, he leaned over and told me that he'd never been more in love with me than in that moment right there. When I asked why, he said that it was because it was just the perfect night.... We were sitting on the sofa, watching one of our favorite TV shows, with pups and kitties surrounding us, and a glass of wine. It was just the perfect moment to him.

I had to agree.... I then told him that for some reason this weekend, it's just felt like he lives here now. Granted, he still needs to find a job, and we still need to find a house (and sell this house), but there's just been this sense this weekend that he absolutely belongs here, that Georgia will soon be his home, and he fits in very well here already!

It's just been an incredibly touching and romantic weekend together, and I'm glad he's coming back in a few weeks for our one-year anniversary. I'm just the luckiest man alive right now....

We're thinking about going to Screen on the Green tonight... anyone else care to join us? We'll have candy!

...Bueller? ...Bueller?

Yay! Kyle has landed! My weekend has begun! :-)

Hulk smash! Hulk smash good!
