Getting silly in Maine

If it is pictures you want....

Pictures you shall have.

Hey I don't see any pictures

I will get some up soon I promise! One needs to get up before 11:30 to get anything done. I slept 12.5 hours! What the hell is up with that.

Tomorrow is a work day. I will get the landscaping in the front done. It is still pretty hot here, but the humidity has decreased significantly.

Sunday we are going to the State Fair. They have the best cheese curds ever and lots of other yummy food you should only eat once a year (but wait weren't you going to go that concert?). Yes, I wanted to go to the concert but it is the last day to spend with our friend who will be shipping out to Iraq next month. We are going to see Sufjan Stevens next month, so I better find a concert that I want to go to.

It is Hot in Here

Well I have been told by a few people that my dancing the night before the wedding was pretty hot and I should do it more often. Unfortunately a fair amount of alcohol is required to do this, so it doesn't happen that often.

I don't recommend the Aristocrats unless you like being disgusted. I am not a prude or anything, but I didn't find it too funny.

I should have some time the rest of the week to get to pictures online.

No Lollapalooza

Duane is on call that week for work, so no going to Chicago.

Instead I think we should go to a concert in town with these bands:

three days grace
flyleaf
dope
hinder
deaf pedestrians
nonpoint
wicked wisdom
hurt
anew revolution
staind
burnseason
everything at once

Unfortunately Seether had to drop out due to the lead singer's drug addiction, but there are some other great bands there. Duane would love it, dontcha think?

Life does get a little better sometimes

Duane's work decided that a pay scale adjustment was in order. Well little did we know that it was a huge pay scale adjustment! I guess that means he has been underpaid for awhile, but we will take it!

He was disappointed today because his new customer may not be in Salem, Oregon. Someone from his team is moving to a different department and they want to give his pain in the ass customer to Duane. This customer is already live with the software and doesn't have a huge budget (so little travel). This transition won't happen for 3-6 months. He did tell them he could handle both customers, but the powers that be have to make that decision.

Slow day here, so I should have been posting here. I am finally caught up with a message board that I read though. I was about 6 days behind with ~130 posts each day.

I have two closings next week that will net me about $5000. All that money has a purpose already, so no plasma tv.

I have another couple who cannot commit to writing an offer. They had so many questions that the seller had had enough. I am still waiting to hear if they will write an offer. Good thing I have a LOT of patience.

No time

I recognize that I have been called out by The Bird Man, but I just have no time to post.

The lighthouse he went to was WAY cooler than the one I went to though!

I promise to post with pictures and words and everything later.
