Well, Happy St. Patty's Day to y'all!
I've actually had a busy week thus far. Lizzy's down in Texas where the weather is around 70 degrees - I can guarantee you that she's loving it. Meanwhile, her folks are vacationing in Puerto Vallarta, where Liz and I went on our honeymoon, so I'm sure they're enjoying some nice, sunny weather, as well. For me - it snowed last night. 8/ Such is life.
Anyway, my busy week...
With Lizzy out of town, I've been working a lot so far this week. I put in about 10 hours on Monday and about 12 yesterday. We're gearing up for a new backfile conversion project this week so there's been a lot to do. Besides what I've normally got on my plate, Todd and I were at work until about 8 last night rearranging the office to make room for some new people we're going to have to bring on for this project. Most likely, those folks will be temp employees or part-timers to help with this project, so it's not a big deal, but we did hire on a woman yesterday that is a full-time employee - she'll be doing sales work. So, hopefully, that will work out well and we'll start making some more money.
I know I said I've had a busy week, but that's been about all for me - just a lot of work right now. In the little time that I have been home, I spend my time cleaning the house and playing video games - you can guess which one I do the most of. ;) Lately, it's been Neverwinter Nights - a nice little RPG that's been around for quite a while. It's based on the old Dungeons and Dragons games and is put together quite nicely, in my opinion. I believe I mentioned earlier that we get a new laptop for Liz - yeah, she's hooked on the game now, too. Last Saturday, we sat around playing the game for hours - me on one computer and her on the other. Yup, that's right, we're geeky and boring. :)
I talked to Liz for quite a while last night - things are going well down in Texas. She didn't say a ton about what was going on, but it sounds like things are progressing nicely. Hopefully, all goes well and she'll be home on Saturday, as planned.
As this is the St. Patrick's Day edition of my Blog, here are a few bits of Irish trivia for all of you out there...
1. What is the capital of Ireland?
2. What do the three colors of the Irish Flag represent?
3. Who was St. Patrick - Why do we celebrate a day in his honor?
4. In what year did Arthur Guinness begin his business (Arthus Guinness, of course, brewed Guinness beer)?
5. Which band sings the songs "Sunday Bloody Sunday," "With or Without You," and "Mysterious Ways?"
6. Within 10 years, when was the Irish Potato Famine?
7. What is the name for the traditional Irish Wedding Ring?
8. What vegetable were Jack O'Lanterns originally made of?
9. What is the significance of the Shamrock to St. Patrick's Day?
10. Ireland is roughly the size of which US State: Kansas, Georgia, Washington, or Indiana?
You can e-mail me your answers if you'd like - otherwise, tune in over the next couple days for the answers. :)
May the luck o' the Irish be with ya!
