This is an epic tale. Yesterday our Vizio VX37L died. Jaime attempted to turn the TV on and it wouldn’t power up. It has this logo in the front that is amber when powered off and lights white when powered on. I noticed that the logo wasn’t even amber, which was a bad sign. When…

It's Alive!
The blog has been revitalized. I will *try* to blog more than once a year. I’ve got some things to say, no really I do. Stay tuned! -Chris
Hey internets, what's happening?
Not too much on my end, really. Since I last blogged, let’s see here, I’ve… Quit my job in California Got a new job in Indiana Moved to Indiana Moved back in w/ my parents Celebrated the holidays in Indiana with family Looked for a house Bought a house Moved into a house Sold a…
The end of an era…
Well, my 1996 Explorer is no more. Or at least, it’s no longer in my possession and I would imagine that it will not soon be in anyone else’s possession either. It’s a tragic tale, but it has a happy ending. Shall we begin? Over the last couple of weeks, there was some bizarre behavior…
Facebook and so forth
I consider myself very technology forward, but I’m also generally adverse to technology aimed squarely at the mainstream. Most of it is garbage, peppered a few little nuggets of neat. I have a MySpace page and to this day I loathe the entire experience there. It’s completely self-contained, difficult to configure to your liking, littered…
Barbara Jean New
Where to begin… If you follow this blog, you might recall that I lost two of my grandparents, my father’s mom and dad, last year. My grandmother (Jeanne) passed away and not long after, my grandfather (Don) followed. My grandmother’s death was expected for quite some time and my grandfather’s death occured so temporally close…
Sit down … Good girl
Tonight was the second Gymboree-sponsored date night. We dropped off Emma and went to see the movie Juno. It was fantastic. Excellent film. I highly recommend it. After the movie, we stopped and picked up food at Cupid’s Hot Dogs and took it to go, as we had to pick up Emma. She had a…
Ah-dee bye-bye?
Emma is really talking up a storm these days. She’s starting to say people’s names very well. Two weeks ago Chris’ college roommate, Andy, spent the weekend with us. I believe Emma fell in love with him, because she is still talking about him to this day. She calls him Ah-dee. She asks about Ah-dee…
Our little pottigy
If I hadn’t seen it for myself, I never would have believe that Emma, our cute little almost-21-month-old, could/would be able to use a potty by herself. But, just to show me what’s what, she did just that this evening! That’s right, folks. Emma peed all by herself on her own little potty this evening!…
Fishing for good music
We went to a Go Fish concert at our church this evening. Never heard of the Go Fish guys before? They were FANTASTIC. They do Christian music for kids “that won’t drive parents bonkers.” It was awesome. Emma absolutely loved it, but we did too. They were fun, and their music was really good, too….
Missing doggy
I know, I know … it’s been too long since I last blogged. I’m sorry, but I do my work in the evenings, and then I just want to veg out and watch TV or whatever. SUE ME. Anyway, funny story. I gave Emma a bath on Monday evening, and then Chris and I put…
Chipotle is good, but…
Just to stay awake at work on Saturdays our crew often finds interesting stuff to discuss. Today’s topic: “What’s the most calories you can find in a burger at a major restaurant chain?” The winner: Hardee’s Monster Thickburger. Topping over 1400 calories is no small feat. Add fries and a drink, and you’re looking at…
