New Camera

For Graduation I wanted one thing, and one thing only . . . a new camera.  This week Cassie and I met my Dad, Mom, Kimberly and Jeremy for dinner.  It was Jeremy's last night in town and we needed to take some stuff down to Texas City so we crashed the party.  We showed up a little earlier than them, believe it or not the traffic was worse in bound than out bound on 45.  With time to kill I decided now was a great time to make the big purchase I have been waiting for.  I finally had time today to pull it out of the box and start playing, and man do I love it.  Expect tons more pictures in the future.  I had all of my pictures up on my mac account, but that has expired and I have been too busy to get them all on my web-site, but I will get it done soon so I can start publishing all the cool pics.  I ran down to Texas City to help Mom move some stuff and had the opportunity to take one last shot of Sammy before Mom decides to run over her again.

We had a good weekend.  It was the company Christmas Party last night.  One of the superintendents was stealing all of the attention by getting a little too friendly with some of the wives at the party.  I was reminded by many people not to make a scene at the Company party, so not to worry, I'm good till next year.  

Today Cassie and I went to lunch with some friends, and then to the Body World Exhibit at the Museum of Natural Science.  It was a really neat experience to see the inner workings of the human body.  Seeing what we are made of is just mind blowing and just reassures my belief in God.  Our body's are an amazing work of art, I know I appreciate mine more.  There were several eye opening features, but the most impressive was the set of lungs from a non-smoker and a smoker.  The smokers lungs were so dark and much smaller than the healthy lungs. You can only hope that every smoker who walks through there makes the decision so stop after seeing how harmful it is.

It's off to bed in preparation for an exciting week at work.  I discovered Saturday morning that I made a rather large screw up on a project that starts Monday, so I have very low expectations for tomorrow going well . . . can't wait to tell my boss what a dippy doo I am.

Have a great week, I'll hopefully get some more pics up soon.

Last night around 10:00 I was getting ready for bed and noticed a few bumps on my arms and chest that resembled mosquito bites, I thought nothing of it and jumped in bed, scratching a little, but tired so I fell asleep pretty fast.  FF to 2:30 a.m.  I awoke itching from head to toe.  My chest, my back, my legs, everywhere . . . I jumped out of bed and started searching the internet for something . . . Scabies!  Everything I found said scabies, so great.  By this time I was wide awake and there was no chance of me going back to bed.  I got dressed and headed to the office, I can assure you I was the first one to the office Today (Made it in by 3:30).

Throughout the day I had to listen to all the crap talk and bantering, but I made a doc

tors appointment for the afternoon.  I am currently wor

king on three different projects for work.  I have my full-time job (Chevron), the job I might be going to after this job (Shell) and I am also working on a charity project that Harvey is working on (the 99k house).  So things are really busy for me at work.  

Cassie came down to the office for lunch, which I was no fun at . . . I was tired and had tons of work to do so I pretty much just listened to her eat her crunchy pickles and chips (my most favorite things in the whole world incase you unfamiliar with my likes and dislikes).  She was pretty busy the rest of the afternoon, she made tons of calls for me and helped me get some stuff off my to do list (I'm really gonna like this marriage thing, I may not make her work after all).  She even had time to make a cool Christmas Wreath for the 230 door.

Around 3:00 I headed over to the Doctor's office where I waited for about 30 minutes (which was odd because the waiting was empty and yet there was still a wait)  Turns out there was no need to worry, just the Hives.  The doctor said it was either food, drugs or some type of allergy flare up.  So Im on the Benadryl . . . . and trust me it's working, im not sure how I'm going to make it through this post.

After I got home I had a delicious, low-cal (I'm still trying my hardest to get in decent shape for Hawaii)  cold pasta salad, and it really was good.  A friend of mine rates his wife's cooking on a 5 point scale (things get nasty when he gives her a 1 or 2 - you don't want to be there for the 0's), but I just told Cassie it was a keeper, to put it in the recipe box.

She also made some really good pecan bars for the guys at work, and they are loving them.  

Well it's time to finish Kung Fu Panda and get some sleep.  Have a good night, check back soon.
