feren: I AM THE MAN (Feren-2003)
[personal profile] feren
I did a few different things today. On my way in to work I stopped at the Wal-mart to browse through the various alarm clocks they had. I still haven't settled on a replacement for my old Sony, but I have an idea of what's out there. It's weird to think that I'm "shopping" for an alarm clock, but there you have it.

I worked a couple of different helpdesk tickets, cleaning up some MCI issues that were outstanding from when I was on call last week. It's scary to think that our Decatur campus suffered four hours of downtime because a Verilink card was loose. The scary part is they had to reseat it a few times before they got the connection tight enough that we didn't take 20 errors per second on the line.

I bought a house.

I picked up some Atkins bars and some cheese on the drive home. There's a very credible rumor going around that Dominicks (a major grocery chain in this area) is going to close its doors, so I'm taking advantage of the bargains and enjoying the ride while it lasts.

Right now Ra and Marcus are being insufferably cute by curling up next to one another. I'm going to have to take some pictures with the camera I borrowed from my dad, and see if I can't get them uploaded later tonight. Cuteness like this must be inflicted upon the world at large.

Thank you! I've been practicing this in my head for a week, trying to find the best way to deliver it.

Wow, what a great purchase! I didn't know that they actually have Atkins bars available. What flavors did you get?

Housewarming party is in the planning stages already.

You should plan it for a weekend when I have a drop day. I'll fly in for it!

I'll see what I can do. Any party action is going to be in the distant future, I have a lot of things to attend to before I'm ready to have guests!

Awesome! I had sworn you had mentioned a house in an entry some time ago... :)

This house sort of fell in my lap right before Christmas. I mentioned househunting a while ago, though.

Oh yeah, you should probably mention that the lovely walls folks are seeing in the hallways, entryway and master bedroom/bath is PAINT.. not wallpaper.

Well, you mentioned it for me. :) I do need to take some detail shots of the paint, don't I?

It looks like a nice, comfy place. And you have a yard! I'm most jealous. ^^ Congrats, qatness.

I'm eager to break the yard in! They left me with a charcoal grill that's just aching to be used for a barbeque.

The first person to try and put that thing on me gets their thyroid removed through their sphincter.

Oooh . . . A real kitchen!

I am, of course, horribly jealous. Your kitchen seems to be about half the square footage of my entire apartment.

Someday. *sigh*

I'm absolutely thrilled with how spacious my kitchen is. It's got lots of room for people to hang out in. I'm not sure why people gravitate to the kitchen when there's a party, but this one will support many warm bodies!

A house. With walls all your own. Nifty. Does it have a basement? No house is complete without a dungeon.

I'm most likely next, but I'd best get started soon if I want to have it bought and moved in by 11/30 :o)

[Does it have a basement?]

Sadly, no. The next one will, though. I need a place to install my relay rack!

Hey, congratulations! They say that every day you should do one thing that scares you. I think taking on a 30 year mortgage should qualify for today. Trouble is, it's a hard act to follow without getting bitten in the face by snakes or something.

Stay put. I'll be laying siege as soon as I gas up the car.

[You have a garage and closets?]

A two-car garage, no less. Which is to say, it holds one car and some stuff.

The closet space in the bedrooms is absolutely insane. I've never had bedrooms with this much storage capability.

I switched to a different LJ theme and it's only showing 5 or 6 entry on my friends' page causing important things to slip by.

But hot damn, a house! Whereabouts is it, anyway?

Bolingbrook, IL. I'm not far from I-55, a road that should be rather familiar to you.
