It just feels wrong that I haven’t posted anything since December 26th of last year. I feel as though I have shared with you people since then, but there is no evidence of any such communication. Who was I talking to, the cats then? Hrmph.
There’s a lot of goings on around the house. Cat is stumbling around (I kid, hon) at 25.3 weeks of pregnancy and doing really well. We had another appointment today, whereby we found out everything is still just dandy (and the kid is still looking like she’s going to be a volleyball player… that femur length is just loooong). Of course, no appointment with our particular doctor would be complete without some type of clerical foulup, and they held par today. Get this: last week was when Cat was scheduled to come in, but they called and said the Doc had an emergency surgery and could she reschedule to sometime next week, namely today. “Sure,” she said. And that was that. Enter today where they have no record of her appointment today and made her feel like she was mentally incompetent. Enter the pissed hubby that is this >< close to yanking little uppity nurse’s leg off when Cat points at the open chart at some text that says, in essence, “patient appointment cancelled, is rescheduling” whereby much hemming and hawing finally got them to realize that yes, Victoria, we did screw up. Grr.
So, that’s baby stuff. I’m working on the nursery here and there. We have a crib (nice ‘un), and just acquired a glider which I’m sure will be used until it falls apart. I’m putting up some shelving in the room, 2/3s of the way up the wall all the way around the room, with cutesie little pegs coming out for baby to hang stuff eventually. I pain-stakingly scallopped the bottom edge of this thing with my router, then put a roman ogie on all the exposed edges, and now it’s about time to start jamming these things into the studs. Not trivial, I say.
My NHL2K3 league is going. The guys in the league are, by and large, pleased with the efforts I’ve put in to giving them something useful for a website, and I’ve enjoyed it. Though it appears I’m a better web developer than an online hockey player… I’m 1-4-0-1 in my season so far. Yup, I suck. I show no signs of improving either. Javahead came over last night for 24 (which didn’t show! What the hell, Fox, is American Idol that friggin’ important?!) and played a bit of hockey with me and I muddled out a 1-0 OT win. Bear in mind that this is a person who has played the game maybe 3 times, total. Rub it in folks, that’s what I’m here for.
Read some books, which I’ll be slinging up here soon. But I have to get home now… there’s a Hurricanes game tongith versus the Caps that I don’t want to miss 
. I’ll be back a wee bit sooner next time.
Too true, too true. Yeah, actually folks he was playing left-handed, one-eyed, upside-down and I had a troupe of topless dancers running through the house during our game. And still could eek out merely a 1-0 win
.
And, God love them, the Hurricanes can’t buy a win. For those keeping score, that’s 4 games IN A ROW that they have ended the game with an empty net goal. And last night, to add insult to injury, we were on a power play! 6 attackers versus 4 defenders and they still manage to give up an empty net goal. The horror.
… and I was playing with a nearly broken wrist as well!
I think the score (or lack thereof) had more to do with the fact that I was the Ave’s and you were the Wild.
5-3, again. another day, another Hurricane loss.
