travis' brain dump

I tell ya… It’s Tuesday afternoon and I swear it feels like it’s been a full week here. We’ve been busy like no other. Two positives to this week? I’m taking tomorrow off and we have Friday off so only one more work day this week for me!!!!

I think I’m setting myself up for disaster there as next week is going to drag by just ridiculously slow. I guess it all depends on how my schedule looks though. We shall see!

So tomorrow is hump-day hookie… while it’s a cheap ticket for those without a pass, it’s also an opportunity to go up when no one else is. ^^ It should be fun though. Tomorrow will be Arwen’s first trip up to the mountains to try out the snow! She’s super excited. I think she’s been waiting for this day for well over a year now. Hopefully she’s ready. If not, there is always next season. I’m sure she’ll have a blast though and hopefully Amanda can get some more practice in. I know I’m looking forward to getting up there and getting a few good runs in, that’s for sure.

Other than that, stuff has been pretty normal around the house. There has been an abuse of FFXI playing going on though I think. *shrug* oh well, it’s fun. Andy came over this weekend and helped Amanda get some good progression in and I definitely have my work cut out for me this week with getting some more stuff in-game accomplished. It’s almost like a second job/life. More like an addiction. LOL

We’re ramping up around there to get started (as soon as warmer weather kicks in) with the remainder of the remodel on the downstairs portion of the house so that’s going to be a lot of fun. I’m sure that will consume a ton of time once we get rolling on it. I would like to try to at least get to the finishing stage within a week or two. From there I will slow down. The biggest hold-up will be getting the new fireplace installed. Out of everything that will be the most expensive and most time consuming part. I think we’ve almost gotten it all figured out and we just need to go buy some materials and get ready to rip the room apart. 🙂 I can’t wait – I’m gonna need a roll-off trash dumpster for this one! It’s going to look so nice and modern in the downstairs area after we are done.

This time I’ll try to make a point out of making a good detailed blog on the progress. It should be fun.
