I'm tired!

I’ve gotten a few messages about not updating my blog, so here we go.

Friday night we took L’Alex out for his birthday at Monsire. It was a nice little dinner and everyone left with a full belly. We didn’t go out because we had to get up early the next morning to drive to a birthday party in North Carolina.

It was a five hour drive down there on Saturday and 5 hours back on Sunday. The surprise was that the party ended at 8. I suppose this was going to happen considering that Ivy just had an emergency c-section two Wednesdays ago and the baby was still in the neonatal care unit. That and the fact she had to “pump” her breast for the new baby at 8. (I wasn’t sticking around for that one) I was surprised that they still had the party to tell the truth. We ended up going back to the hotel room and watching the Simpson’s move on pay per view afterwards and got home kind of early on Sunday.

The weird thing is seeing all these people that I spent my twenties with turning 40ish. We starting tell stories from college and our younger years. It was just bizarre. I still think of myself at 20 something, and I’m not. It’s better than the alternative I suppose.

On our way home, L’Dave asked us to come pick him up in Alexandria. He had spent the night there with a friend after going dancing all night. We ended up going back to our house and drinking wine on the roof until it was close to time to go to dinner at Derek’s house that evening.

So to put everything in perspective, we had a birthday dinner with L’Alex on Friday night. Got up on Saturday and drove 300 miles to Durham for a BBQ\Birthday from 3:30 until 8, watched a movie, got 8 hours sleep, drove 300 miles back to DC, picked our friend up and went back to our house for wine on the roof followed by dinner at a friend’s house.

All in a typical weekend at Crave’s

This week I’m getting ready for the Fall meeting at work. I’m trying to get some computers set up and shipped to LA for the setup of the office there. I’ll be in Las Vegas from the 21st of October to the 28th for the fall meeting. I’m back in town for two days and then I’m off to Los Angeles to set up the new office out there. I’ll finally be home on November the 6th. It’s all such a whorl wind. While I’m in LA I’m going to have dinner with some friends who live out there and Dave should come over for that.

Once we get back we have a 60th birthday bash to go to on the 10th of November and on the 11th we’ll be having a dinner party in honor of L’Dave’s love interest from South Africa who is in town for three weeks. Oh, and we’re going to London for Thanksgiving.

Luckily we staying home for Christmas, I might get some rest then but probably not. The family is supposed to come visit then.

I love this girl!

Just watch the video below. She pretty much says it as it is. What a gal.


Jennine Garolafo, i want to have your baby.

And, another busy weekend with lots of stuff I can't put up here. It's a family blog don't you know.

Ok, another wacky weekend.

I had to work the whole weekend. Not happy about that.

On Friday at 4:15PM the network in our DC office just went tits up. We didn’t make any changes or anything (I ain’t done nothing or nothing). So, instead of going to the movie with Dave like I had planned, I ended up staying at work until around 8:30. At that point I told my boss that I need to have dinner with Dave and I would be back in the morning.

Next day I’m in the office from 8:30 until 6:30 redoing the whole network. Dave (the contractor) comes in and helps upgrade the firewall and pull a bunch of cables. We think it’s all good and I go home and then go to Rob and Mikko’s for a party. 2:30 that night we finally get home.

Only to get up and work again.

It wasn’t fixed at all. So I had to come in on Sunday and work again! Seems that a switch on the network was taking over the network. I finally figured it out. It was either my computer or my switch at my desk that was causing the issues. This after two days of work and reconnection all the physical equipment. I do remember it looking like I had got a virus on my computer but that it was caught by the virus software. Guess not. I’m scared to plug all that stuff back in so I’m in the server room on my laptop right now.

And then we went drinking again on Sunday night. Ugh.

I think I’ve had about four hours sleep over the last weekend. I’m so tired now.

On to the joke of the week.

So on the way to work I saw a car accident. Rear end thingy. The guy in the car that hit the truck got out and walked to the truck. Out from the truck stepped this dwarf who proceeded to cross his arms and proclaim that he wasn’t happy!

The drive of the other car said, “so which one are you?”

That’s when the fight began.

Tell me it's not so Spock!

Just when you didn't think it could get any weirder.

Boy oh boy, is it just me or does it seem like the republican party are all closeted gays?
