20121120 - PJ Day

20121120 - Up in the am and the best part of the day was seeing J dressed for school in his PJs :-)

20121119 - Possible?

20121119 - Up in the am and moving slow today... Got to the office an was introduced to a new change that took the rest of the day... Had a good call with a coworker from Kewill, Rick, it was great to talk to him!  Home and packed up an eBay sale while D&J were back at the playground and L&D were at the Dr. All back home and the report is that G now has strep throat!?!? How is that possible? He JUST FINISHED 14 days on penicillin on Friday... Answer = Magic Mountain ball pit. Our kids ALWAYS get sick after going there... UGH! Poor little guy. I ran D to Scouts and then back home to watch some videos on magic tricks with J while G attempted to ply his iTouch while it was charging... Got D and then out with the Bible Bangers to watch the new 'Lincoln' movie. It was very good, educational and interesting. Back home and updating the live system with the changes from today

20121118 + Recovery

20121118 + Up late, Sam & Lena here this morning, then L to church meeting and the grocery. JG&I hanging out waiting for D to come home from camping. We got D, got him some food an home and he unloaded his camping gear. We listened to some old 45s and just hung out until dinner time. We went to Logan's and it was, unfortunately once again, sub-par: it is now on the list of restaurants we don't go to... Home and boys ready for bed and we watched 'Fool Us' on YouTube. Boys to bed, Chris over to watch 'Walking Dead'. Up late working on software.

We got home in time for the buckeye game and watched most of it. Then we all got bundled up and headed to a Thanksgiving feast with the Boy Scouts. It was a descent meal and nice ceremony. We left D there for another night out in the cold and then we got the other boys home and to bed. up late watching college football and posting things on eBay.

20121116 - Santa Scan

20121116 - UP and into the office for a very thought intensive day. Home and we had to take D to his campout for the weekend and then the rest of us headed to Toys R Us for our annual 'Santa Scan' where we scan the barcodes of the toys the boys want into our iPhones and they magically show up on the list to the right -> Home and up EXTREMELY late getting caught up on everything I have purchased so far for OhiOOddities being posted to ebay. I only have a small box of 45 records and couple of books left to go, but they are a bit tricky.

20121115 - Whowillgiveme

20121115 - Up and working from home. The day went fast and soon everyone was home. We had a nice meal and L is feeling a bit better. The boys and I headed to Scouts for the annual Feller's Cake Bake and Auction. I got to be the auctioneer again this year and we had a good turn out. We raised $1,300 for GRIN the local charity Gahanna Residents In Need. Home and we had some cake, not near as good as J's, in fact we threw one out after tasting it :-s All boys to bed, up late working on software.

20121114 - Cube

20121114 - Up in the am and to the desk. Got some things done and then met Chris at the Columbus OBBA meeting. We learned about franchising today, very interesting. I stopped by the Scout store on the way home to pick up awards for this weekends ceremony. Home and back at the desk making changes to the system. L is coughing like mad and bound to the couch, so I took the boys out to the grocery to drop off ink cartridges and get baggies for the Scout awards. While there I thought it would be cheaper to get groceries for our dinner, than driving through a fast food joint. Back he and D took the groceries and cooked dinner for us while J&I started building and icing his cake. Had to leave that project to take D to Kroger to get groceries for the Scout feast. This was relaxing as I had an expresso while. And another Scout shopped. Then got 20 pounds of fresh green beans and 10 bags of potatoes! :-o back home and helped J ice his a&e and he did the decorating. The big auction is tomorrow and he is SO EXCITED!!! All boys to bed an I was up late configuring the system while the users are sleeping. Bed LATE.
