If it ain't broke, you haven't screwed with it enough

The last weekend was rather productive while relaxing also. The bitter cold and snow dump from mid week kept things limited but I did manage to finish up our Christmas shopping. Jillian wrapped up the remaining gifts on Saturday (I have zero wrapping talent..) so we’re all set for the festivities.

Friday we had another 4 player game of OOTS, with April winning as Haley. Jillian was a close second and took down Xyklon while Ulmer and I pretty much sucked it up. Neither of us could buy a die roll to save our lives..

Yesterday Jillian and I hit up Bass Pro Shop for some co-worker’s gifts and stopped in to eat at Uncle Buck’s. Let me tell you, I have no idea why people hype that place up. The food was mediocre, the service sucked, and the meals were overpriced for what you got. It took them nearly 20 minutes to make Jillian’s cosmo, my burger was ordered medium but showed up more than well done, and I think they gave us literally 10 fries. Don’t bother with Uncle Buck’s.

Going to be a busy week.. my project is finally going live tonight and I’m on-call to boot. I’m glad this project is finally coming to a close, I’ve been working on this for a few months and I’m ready for my next project: implementing Subversion and ditching ClearCase!

Looking forward to Carter Xmas at Rob’s this weekend. Always a good time with the gift game :) We’re bringing two gifts that I wouldn’t mind coming home with but can’t ruin the surprise. All I can say is you can rock out while on the rocket if you get both gifts. Mwahaha!

O’hay, I also made significant headway in my Recipe Master app. Its a PHP site that stores, searches, and displays recipe entries. Powered by LAMP, doing what LAMP does best, and for free. Church, bish.

Jillian beat me to the punch :) Enjoy!

I hope everyone had a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend!

We spent the weekend grilling out with friends and family, including (too much) beer pong, baggs, oh yeah and beer pong. I think I found the perfect marinade for any type of thin steak this weekend… I’ll post more about that tonight once I remember what it was I did exactly :)

Sue’s cancer surgery is set for Thursday at noon. The outlook is about as good as one could hope for!

Congratz to Missy Ulmer, graduating class of 2009, East High. She also won an award for “Best Female Athlete” which is fitting since she earned a scholarship to Iowa Central for her softball skeeels.

Also a big congratz to Bryan who looks to join the local chapter of “Hells Angels” with his new hog! (Check his Facebook page for pics).

This week may be another light update week as I’m on-call yet again.. at least its not the “bad” pager anymore. Heh, I probably just jinxed myself.
