It has been over a week since my last update. I must be getting real lazy. Then again, I have been super busy with moving the office and all. My boss and I traded commutes, he now lives about a mile from the office like I used to. It’s okay though because I got a raise last week, and there is always the hope that gas prices with remain where they are for a nice long time.
I also got a new desk for my office. Carrie wanted her desk back that I was using and this one was abandoned on the loading dock. There is more surface area, and bigger drawers. I even got a new filing cabinet. With a larger desk and a smaller office is sure does look like I have less space. I don’t mind this because now I do not have all of the large files or the sales persons paperwork racks in my office.
Theresa and Drake brought me some picture frames so I can print some photos and hang them up. I should do that next week. Carrie also gave me a few photos that she took back in April of 2007. Drake is crawling on my desk, he’s so darn cute.
Last night Theresa and I watched Get Smart last night. I rented it from the Redbox in our local Walmart. This was my first Redbox rental and everything seems to have gone very well. I still have to take it back today to avoid getting charged for a second day. The first day was free with a promo code that I had. As far as the actual movie goes… I’m glad it was free. The movie was funny, but there was just something about it that didn’t click for me.
Backtracking through the last week brings me to Sunday. I didn’t do anything. I was in my pajamas all day long. I watched TV and played Nintendo and PS3 all day. Theresa’s parents came over for a visit in the evening. We backed a take and bake cheese pizza from Costco. The pizza was impressive.
Saturday morning I watched TV and played video games. I didn’t have Drake because he had spent the night with Grandma and Grandpa Klein. After we picked him up and got home I baked a pizza and ended up watching the Red Wings game.
Moving farther back, in the week brings me to days that I cannot remember what we did. I’m so bad at that. I even forgot to take the trash out this morning. Oops.
Last night Brooke and Rob came for a visit. We started by playing Tetris Party on the Nintendo Wii. We ordered some pizza because Brooke came with a coupon. Once the pizza was dropped off we stopped playing in order to eat and watch the Red Wings beat up the New Jersey Devils. The Wings played well and Marián Hossa is really getting into his role with the team. After the game we turned the Wii back on to play some more Tetris. We are very competitive, and Theresa was yelling at me for things that were not my fault. I had also opened the wrong bottle of pop. Yeah, I’m such a bad brother.
November 9, Detroit Free Press: The Wings fought and scored in the first period. Darren McCarty tussled with David Clarkson some 2 minutes into the game, though for much of their minutes-long battle neither was able to get his arms free to throw a really good punch. McCarty ended up landing a handful, and the scuffle got a standing ovation from the fans.
“That one presented itself early and got the fans into it, and it’s always nice when you’re in the box and your team scores,” McCarty said. “Then you feel like you got an assist in some sort of way.”
