This year I volunteered to take part in the 2009 Bowlin’ on the River Bowl-A-Thon to benefit Junior Achievement of Memphis and the Mid-South.
Please donate as little or as much as you can. Any little bit helps.
If I can raise over $1000 dollars I will dress up as The Jesus from the “Big Lebowski”.

Snowball fight..

Ok, so maybe there wasn’t enough snow to really have a snowball fight or even build a snowman, but it did sknow here in Memphis, TN.  It was the usual Memphis snow.  It snowed and then pretty much melted bt the end of the day.  I really wish we would get about a foot of [...]

Cold Water

For the past year, it seemed that the hot water was not as hot as it was when I purchased the house. I put off calling as plumber as it would cost $50 just for them to walk in the door, plus another $100 for labor and probably over $50 for any parts.  A new [...]

Snow today, gone tomorrow or sooner

This morning I woke up and got ready for work. Shortly after I got my trash ready for garbage pick up. I opened my garage door to find a Blizzard.
With the site of snow my hopes for over a few inches started to circle my mind. It would be nice, but as most know it [...]

Office Prank

Sarah, one of my co-workers, was on vacation for 2 weeks so we figured we would give her a surprise.
Felica got here a little early and was able to record her reaction.
Of course, the main reason for the wrapping job was due to my desk being decorated with Hanna Montana stuff. All because I purchased [...]

$.77 for Gas

Last night a swung by Schnucks  to fill my tank. I pulled up to the pump and saw that gas per gallon was $1.49/Gallon. I had been using a Schnucks card when I buy groceries, but had not used it at the pump yet. I don’t really know all the details on how the gas [...]

Air Tulio

This weekend was a very busy weekend.  This is the time of year when it is perfect to re-seed your yard.  I re-seeded my parents yard yesterday and my yard today.
Yesterday, my dad sent me to Lowe’s and Home Depot to pick up some Fescue Grass Seeds, Fertilizer, and an Aerator.  I picked up the Fescue [...]

Pumpkin Time

It has been decades since I carved a pumpkin. So while at the grocery store last night I picked up a pumpkin and one of those pumpkin carving kits.  What I really wanted to do was find a stencil of Handy Manny and carve a pumpkin for my nephew.  No luck after searching all over the Internet [...]

New Rental Friend

I have been using Netflix since they started.  I have now found a new company that is even better and cheaper.  The company that I am referring to is REDBOX. They are located outside almost every Walgreens.  Movies cost a $1 per day. 
Go to REDBOX and sign up.  Just for signing up you get a coupon [...]

Baby Squirrel

About 2 weeks ago, the dogs started going nuts and barking around the tree in the yard.  Stacy stopped them and just in the nick of time.  The dogs were about to catch this baby squirrel that must have fallen out of the tree.  Now don’t get me wrong.  I hate squirrels.  The reason I [...]

Commissioned Art

For the past 2 years, I have been trying to get my parents to find me a specific type of painting from Peru. I bought my brother a smaller version of what I was looking for the last time I went to Peru and used that as a guide.  On my parents most recent trip [...]

Zoo

Last Saturday I went to the Zoo with my nephew Nico and and my sister. Nico had a blast.  We got his caricature made while we were there.  I was not as impressed by this guy as I was with the guy that did mine when I was in Poland. The link to mine are below Nico’s [...]

AC/DC on Satellite Radio

Finally, some AC/DC on Satellite radio.  I know it is for a limited time, but that will work for me. 
More at Sirius.

My Wishlist!

I ran across this site a while ago, but forgot to post it.  You know how people always ask you what you want for your birthday, but you are never sure.  The following webpage is a great place to keep track of stuff you want.
My Wish List

Drink of the gods… Incan gods.

For those that do not know, my parents are from Peru where I have visited many times.  One thing that always sparks a memory or 2 is a special golden cola, a drink called Inca Kola.  It is very difficult to find here in Memphis, TN.  Occasionally a local import store will have them, but [...]

Dragon Fruit

About 3 years ago, I posted about Dragon Fruit and how it was way to expensive to order just to try it.  Yesterday when I went to my parents house for dinner my dad surprised me with one.  He purchased it at the Winchester Farmers Market.   So last night I tried it and actually liked it. 
So as [...]

What is this?

I was letting the dogs out this evening and I turned around and saw this.  It nearly scared me.  I have no idea what it is.  It looked like a cross between a big cockroach and a beetle. 
Anyone know what kind of insect this is?  Please let me know. Below are a few shots.  More [...]

Mailbox

Since I have been in the house, one of the things I have been wanting to replace is the mailbox.  Not only did I want to replace it, I wanted to place it on the correct side of the driveway.  Huh, you ask.  The old mailbox was actually in between my house and my neighbors [...]

Bubbles

Nico went to my parents house today.  I was there to assist in taking care of Nico for the day.  I had to try and keep him away from the pool.  He kept saying bubbles, so I figured why not go get him some bubbles. I left him with my mom and headed off to my [...]

Fence

With summer time coming soon, my parents asked that I put up a fence in the back yard to keep Nico from getting to the pool.  Below are a few shots of the fence.  It did not take me too long to put it together.   I would say it took me about 3-4 hours spread [...]

More Work.

After 4 visits to Lowe’s, I have enough supplies to hold me over for a few weeks.  This does not even include the painting that still needs to be done.
I purchased lots of dryawall and insulation to finally finish the garage.  It is one of the project, though not the most important, that I want [...]

I’m Back

Ok, I know I have been away for a while. 
 I have updated the look,of my blog, with some minor downfalls.  I moved my entire page that was hosted at Blogger to WordPress.  Bad part is that any images that were attached to any posting did not transfer over.  I will have to slowly transfer all images [...]

Where have you been?

Ok, so I have not posted since August 28. I have been busy and have not had a chance to update the page. I plan on making some updates this week. I will eventry to back date everything to align with when it happened.
Keep your eyes open.

Back in Memphis, TN

I am back in Memphis, TN once again, but not for long. I will be returning to Krakow, Poland for possibly my last time in January.
I have been a little lax on my postings on my most recent trip to Krakow, Poland and will now try to play catch up. I will even try to [...]

Elf Me

Turn yourself into a dancing elf for Christmas. Go to Elf Yourself. You can even sing a little song to a special 800 number and the elf will sing and dance. I will post the link to my singing elf once the email actually arrives in my e-mail box.
Photo to be posted soon.

Christmas Card Time

I am getting ready to head off to Krakow, Poland for trip number 9. It is the Christmas Season and I know there will be plenty outside of work to keep me occupied. Last Christmas I asked anyone who reads this blog if they wanted a Christmas Card from Poland. If they did, I tried [...]

Dead DVD

A few day ago I wanted to watch a movie and I got an error message and thought that the DVD was all messed up. Last night I tried to watch another movie and the error happened again. I tried a few more and realized that my DVD has died. It loads, but the read [...]

If you are one of the 10-20 that frequent my blog, including family and friends you noticed a tab on the left listing all the item I want. Well, it is not their right now. I am currently working on updating the list as it has not been updated for over a year.
