    A devil themed rubber duck, a Jittery Joes mug, a few family pictures, a prototype connection for the space station and a set of really nice carbon fiber handlebars that my wife cracked in half in a cycling accident.

    The nice thing is that the nursery was one of the first rooms we redid. The problem is that the great room (about 45sqft with a vaulted ceiling) is the last room we have been working on. We have been removing all of the texured popcorn ceilings and been redoing them as flat. Started the great...

    Expecting

    Two weeks... So not enough to be a health problem but enough that it caught us a little off guard and under prepared. Doesn't he realize that work wanted me to be fully billable up to the due date?

Ms. Biker and I have been doing work around the house to get ready for our little one and I have half the house a little discombobulated and Mini-Biker decided to show up this morning just to surprise us. Mom and mini are doing well and are trying to...

    Because, "Everyones a Lobo, Woof! Woof! Woof!" Dex, While I hope that you are wrong and that UNM is the serious underdog that goes the whole way, I have a sneaking suspicion they will not quite make it. I will still continue to hope that all the money I gave them years ago planted a seed in a...

    He may get that... But I wouldn't count on that. "I'm Awesome and should be hired immediately without having to apply or interview for a 7 figure salary - 101" was not an elective at my school but a certain school (not to be mentioned yet...) may just offer it.

    Hope they get the snow removal vehicles out to you soon. My sister lives in Bel Air, MD and works in Baltimore and I have been seeing the pictures of them digging out. Some of those pictures are showing the snow up to the top of my nephew's head. Stay warm!

    Spouse Occupation

    Slightly off topic... The Discover cash back is great. We put all of our purchases on it and pay it off at the end of every month. We just do gift cards for everyone for the holidays through them. We also just got our new stroller on sale using the gift cards from Discover for one of the...

    No cable, internet or land line... We have two TV's, one set of rabbit ears, a digital converter box and a library card... I joke that we are one step away from living in a cave.

    Question for all you Civils out there
