Week in Review: March 17, 2009

(NOTE: I really wanted to post this on Tuesday, when it was supposed to be posted. So some of my comments are a little bit dated.)

Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me. Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you! Happy birthday to me. One of the great things about having a birthday on a holiday is that when people wish me a happy birthday, I can wish them a happy back.

I’m now one year away from 30. I have a house; a kid; and soon, a wife. I’m ready for my 30s. Why is everyone so afraid of those round numbers?

Things I Think I Liked

St. Patrick’s Day Parade was fun. Nothing says Irish like waving to ….. Darth Vader?
Went to the dentist with Ashlynn for the first time. She enjoyed it and wants to go back again. She has pretty teeth.
Someone at either Grease Monkey or Big O Tires left a flower in Ashlynn’s car seat for her.
Mottistone was a hit at the parade, and they had beer for me afterwards in celebration of my birthday.
Like a 13 year old’s wet dream come true, Denver now has our own lingerie football team.
bit.ly – It lets me know when people click the links I leave on Twitter.
Google Analytics – It’s just fun watching when, where and how people come to this site.

Things I Think I Didn’t Like

Plumbing problems caused water to flow into our guest bedroom downstairs. Might have to rip up carpet.
Ashlynn’s leg still hurts pretty often.
Going have to forsake my ‘puter upgrade for preventative car repair.
Installed XP on my desktop so I can play games. Had to call to activate it because I’ve installed it so many times.
In the past 3 weeks, I haven’t watched or listened to any of the podcasts I like.
I haven’t been to the gym in about 2 weeks.

Things I Think I Think

Stress is a lot harder to deal with when I’m working graveyard shift.

This Week Made Me Wonder…

Is it ever going to snow?!
Will I ever be confident using semicolons? I never know if I’m using them right.

Things to look forward to

Good beer (Guinness, Harp, Fat Tire), good friends (too many to name), good movie (Boondock Saints) tonight at my house!
Learning how to use my sprinkler system.
Figuring out my swamp cooler.
Sleeping at night every night next month.
Spring starts on Friday. Maybe spring will give us some precipitation.
