Home Sweet home

Well I finally made it home. A day later than scheduled which sucked ass. Not only did it shorten my weekend home with my family but, I also missed out on the Gears 2 tourney. I was looking forward to hanging out with the people from 2old2play but, maybe next time.

My stay at home is short lived. I have to leave again on tuesday and head back to Lordstown, Ohio. This time I will be taking the xbox so i will have something to do at night besides watch crappy cable tv. Granted, i did have some time to do some iphone programming which was nice because that shit takes time. But after staring at a computer screen all day at the plant and then coming back to the apartment and trying to do the same kind of eats at you real quick. I will probably be taking a variety of games up with me including Gears 1 & 2, Halo 3, and a few others so if anyone is interested in doing some gaming please just send me a FR and join up. I will most likely be in private matches that way my co-worker can join in on the fun. the 2 of us are going to be there for two weeks and were both gamers so having the xbox up there will be nice.

On a different note, it was so nice to be home. Strangely enough, while I was gone for some reason my house decided it needed a bath. Let me explain. 2 nights before I was set to go home my 55 gallon fish tank decided it was going to leak...at the bottom of the tank. So my wife had to clean out the tank as fast as she could and empty the tank. Move the tank, the base cabinet, and all the supplies and then clean all that water up. and then shampoo the carpet. I lost my fish. Oh well, sucks..but oh well.

Then, after getting the storm of the century on Friday (the reason I couldn't fly home) kitchen floor was soaked. It rained so hard it flooded my window in the kitchen (storm window was up and it's an older home). So it leaked into my kitchen, soaking the carpet in there (carpet in kitchen sucks anyway, just haven't tiled yet) and then making its way into my finished basement into the laundry room. Looks like I will be redoing that ceiling while I'm at it. Yet another mess my wife had to clean up. Poor woman wasn't getting shit for sleep and of course still had to take care of our daughter and work the next day on each occasion.

Needless to say my house smells like fish water still, i no longer have any fish and now I've got even more repair work to do this summer. Oh well, it's still good to be home. Now where's that tape measure???....
