Snow Day

I'll cut to the chase.

I think we need a holiday called snow day. The 1st time in February that it snows would be snow day. If it doesn't snow by a certain date, you pick a date for a deadline.

You have to go get that bread and milk anyway. Pick up a snow day gift.

I don't mean just taking off for a day, which is ok in itself. I mean a bone fide holiday.

It used to be that adults that live in the same household would see each other. This really is a holiday borne from our hectic lifestyles. You just take that day and everybody agrees to stay in and celebrate something. Don't make it religious or political.

Somebody come up with a few more ideas.

Invasion!!!

Switzerland has invaded Lichtenstein.

About 170 Swiss soldiers (complete with knives) accidentally wandered into the micro nation Lichtenstein last week. The soldier were carrying rifles, but had no ammunition.

How embarraskin' :)

---------------------

The band is officially on hold as we look for new members. I've made a vow to myself that we will be seen in public by the end of the year, so stay tuned.

---------------------

We went to Philly on Saturday to see my ol' roommate Buzz. We got there around 10am. Met him at his hotel (Marriott, 13th and Market) and hit all of the old haunts and a few new ones. Had an excellent cheesesteak, bought a few CD's and visited.

It was Deb's first time in the Farmers Market. We're talking about maybe taking the kids down and doing a Fri/Sat overnite. Shop and Drop.

-----------------------

I will be updating the Two Sister's website this evening. In the next week or so I will be updating my web software to Dreamweaver 8. Look for a cooler fitzlandia.com (I got some good ideas today)

-----------------------

Congrats to Ursala and her new beau, Chrysler. 1000's of jokes to follow. :)

that is all

Big storm a'comin'

They're saying 6 to 12 inches. I'll be surprised if it's 3.

The tricky part could be the ice. I have to work noon to 8:30 tomorrow. We'll take a look in the morning and see what's what.

I do have to check the ol' snowblower tho.

Lovely Anna.....

I don't get shocked too often, but that was a shock. 39 and frozen in time.

I don't know if you've seen a recent pic of her. With the media coverage the way it is, you'll probably be able to see EVERY photo of her. I thought she looked better recently than she did at her zenith. Especially in the face.

It's turning into a long, stupid media circus, but I guess we shouldn't expect any less. I like the late addition of Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband, that really stretched it over the top. He was having an affair with her and wanted to ADOPT her. So Bizzare.

---------------------

If you get a chance, look for a vid clip or still of Ivanka Trump on Leno. Not the fiasco with Andy Dick on Kimmel. Ivanka bought new boobies and the dress she wore was extreme even for late night standards. I loved it. :)

Thank god she inherited mom's genes in the looks department.

----------------------

Basement work goes extremely slowly. I hope to hit it a little tomorrow. But honestly, it's been sub freezing for over a week. Maybe I can rearrange the deck chairs down there and get one section ready to go.

----------------------

Tonight is GAME NIGHT. Toby and Mel are coming over. I guess we're gonna give Toby all of our money playing poker. I'll let you know what unfolds.

----------------------

The band has a drummer to audition. I think we're gonna get together next Saturday and take a run at him. Learning some new songs, the Bad Religion tune in particular sounds like a crowd pleaser.

----------------------

Toby and Mel, Karen and Fred and us spent Super Bowl day together. Everybody left before the game. Karen bought Guitar Hero and brought it up. We had a little duel and I kicked her ass. But that's just the loving uncle I am.

---------------------

I will get some pics on the picblog this weekend. I've been getting grief from all sides. I went to see the Luv Gods a few weeks ago and took some pics of them. Some of them may be on their site.

---------------------

More news as I collect my thoughts.

ciao bella

Day number.......oh Forget it!

It's a noble idea. But I don't post everyday so I can't do it. I did get a little bit done down there this week. My schedule will settle a bit next week, so i can do some stuff and I HAVE to practice this week. Guitar is coming out very soon.

I've been reading an online comic called "Crap I Drew on My Lunch Break".

She does nice work, send her money.

I have to post some baby pics from xmas. I'll do that later. Everything is backing up. But at least the house is clean.

It's 21 degrees here. I've got a friend out in Wichita, KS that I haven't heard from. I think that they're buried in ice.

It's a little later in the evening. There was an article in our local paper this week on drinking chocolate. I made some tonight. I used Ghirardelli baking chocolate. I'm not really thrilled with the chocolate, but the process is cool and I can definitely see trying some of my favorite chocolate this way. It really opens up the flavor. I could taste orange in this cup.

I will try to stay up to speed on the blog.

Days 8, 9 and 10 (WD 4,5 and 6)

I'm a very impatient person.

I like to get stuff done.

This is driving me crazy. :)

I thought that I'd just be able to move stuff and get it in the trailer and that would be it. Well, it's not working out that way. Some stuff is just too heavy for me to move by myself. Some stuff (I think) needs to be trashed and my second opinion isn't coming down stairs. I also have to clean as I go. As well as the occasional minor repair to make things operational.

I've got a heating element that Deb used for her greenhouse placed in the trailer. We were down to 16 degrees last night. I don't want it balmy in the trailer, but I do want to try to keep it above freezing. If I can do that I'll be a little less paranoid about putting some things in there.

I need to get some stuff moved out of the middle room upstairs so I can move some of the more delicate stuff from the basement up in there. I'd hate to lose comix and stuff like that just because there was no room to keep them without moisture.

I think we will put the xmas stuff away on Sunday and store it in the truck, then I will continue on stuff Sunday and Monday. I'm into a couple of the big pieces now. Moving them out will make a huge difference in the view and my sanity.

Day 7....Guess What??

Man.....I felt like Death yesterday. I was really groggy at work. Went home and napped till the OSU/Florida National Championship started. Watched half of it and went to bed. No workee for me.

I don't feel 100% today, but I do feel a lot better. So I'll be cramming more stuff into the trailer.

I didn't see you with your belt brace yesterday?!?!?!

Day 4 , 5 and 6

The days that you see in the titles will be consecutive days since the trailer was dropped. You'll see another number (WD3) that will make it a day that something was done. This gives us 2 actual counds .

So.....day 4 was a trip up to MT. Carmel. We got our new speakers and tested them. It turns out we need another pair, so they are on order. We spoke about monitoring and are moving in that directions and we are selecting the "down the stretch songs so we can start playing out. The band weblog should happen in a few weeks.

Day 5 was practice and returning the speakers to the dealer. I went and met Deb met in Selinsgrove, We picked up some gifts and headed home to clean. Long freakin' day.

Today was another xmas dinner with Karen and her brood. Darlene wasn't able to make it, I don't knowwhen we will do those gifts.

So.....tommorrow starts WD 4/Day 7......come on over with your belt brace. :)

Day 1, 2 and 3

The blog is now going to function as a journal of my remodeling. I'll be posting the occasional pic on the picblog as well.

Day 1 (Jan 1, 2007) Cleared out some trash and burned it. Put together new toolbox.

Day 2 Trailer arrived today. More trash burning. Put down a piece of plywood to access trailer. They were unable to get it in as far as I wanted, so it's a little inconvenient to load, but probably better in the long run. When the ground drys up, we may have a jockey come out from the plant to move it forward about 10 feet. Found a lock for it.

Day 3 More trash burning. Started moving equipment out. Actual progress!!! Teresa came out with the forms to sign and to get the check. We talked about radon tests and the like. 2 hours a day doesn't seem like much. I'm sure it will be much better next week. Should have most of the stuff out of the basement by then. This is a practice weekend, so no work Friday and Xmas gifts to get Saturday. Darlene and Karen come up Sunday but will leave early. I'll start hitting it after they leave.

More to come. BTW...Chrissy, I will get some Ava pics up soon.

This is (a) gross, but.....

....only 144 days till my birthday. :)

Pics of the cute one will be coming soon.

I got a 50 foot semi in my backyard. We start loading it up this week so I can start the basement remodel.

More....

2007.....Here we go!!!

Haven't posted for awhile because things have been nuts.

My wife's Grandmother had a stroke the day after we celebrated Xmas with her family. The 18th. She decided not to be fed, so we were on a death watch thru the holidays. She finally passed away on the 28th.

There is a lot of family infighting going on. I wonder how bad it would be if there was some money to fight over. One of the aunts has gone insane.

Anyway, she was interred yesterday. So that nightmare is over. But of course, the weekend was completely fucked because of funeral stuff.

My nieces come down for Xmas this coming Sunday.

Last year sucked pretty royally, this year is looking up.

I have a 50 foot semi coming in tomorrow. We're loading all of our shit on it and starting the remodeling downstairs. It won't be leaving until the remodeling is done and the yard sale has been had.

So I will be posting pics from time to time of the construction. I took some today of how crapped up the downstairs is, I'll save those til the end to do the compare. :)

Have a happy 2007. :)

I honestly cannot believe this. I hope I find out it's a hoax.

Luck and Lack Therof

My niece goes down to AC to play the slots. It's her birthday. She plays a game and a light goes off. The thinks she might have busted the machine. Turns out she put in a quarter and won $1800.00 dollars. If she would have splurged for 2 more quarters, it would have been $50,000.00. She did good, took her money she brought down and put it with the winnings.

My luck was not so good. I got to see a late model pick up truck soar through the air. It rolled at least 4 (i think 6) times. A piece of it hit my car. Took out my front grill and bumper and busted a transmission line. So my day was peppered with hunting around for all of this shit i need. Hopefully they will give me a rental.

The kids were here. I took some pics that will be up at some point. Please leave nice comments. And start buying me expensive xmas presents.

that is all...

It had to happen.....

I love this site......this guy analyzes the comics and is usually pretty funny and dead on.

FULL CONTROL

"Macaca" Allen concedes to Webb in Virginia. The Dems now have a working majority in both houses.

I'm sure that gold is gonna fall out of the sky now.

It looks like the fights will start next week. Bush wants Bolton approved for the UN and there are several Dems and at least one Rep that are gonna fight him on it.

In other news. Tom Bradley will coach PSU this weekend. He's the one that's so much fun to watch. Paterno will not be in the stadium. Dr's orders. It's the 3rd game that he's missed in his career.

New pics in the picblog

Say What You Will...

Brittany Spears is a genius.

Any other time of the year and she's front page in 3 news cycles. Say you're getting divorced on Election Day and it gets lost in the shuffle.

Next moves? Stop music career. Get back to fightin' weight. Start porn career.

A New Day......

Frankly? I expected it to start raining money today.

I predicted that Santorum would lose by 7 percent and Swann by 12 percent. The final numbers??

Rendell 60 Swann 40

Casey 59 Santorum 41

That right there was enough to make my night. Rendell's win was a given, but getting rid of that stain on the Senate was worth the price of admission. The scary part was listening to the GOP pundits on CNN say that there will be a "Draft Santorum" movement for President. God help us all.

So, our little corner of the world was taken care of....now what??

NO incumbent Democrat lost.

Let that sink in for a second.

Before I went to bed last night I knew that we got the house. Everyone on the panel said that the Senate wasn't going to happen.

Then, right as I was nodding off, James Carvelle let out a whoop. Turns out that some numbers were coming in that were turning positive for the Dems.

I get up.

We've got the house with a 34 seat margin. And we are 2 seats away from controlling the Senate.

Then, around noon, we gain one more seat. And finally, around 9pm, Virginia goes to the Dems.

Some of these races are close. But all have been called and should hold up. The Dems take the Senate AND the House. Wahoo!!!!

I gotta hold my pockets open and stand outside.....cya!!!

THIS JUST IN........MAJOR

Brittany Spears has filed for divorce from Kevin Federline.

World asks, what took you so long?
