As part of Jessica’s “birthday weekend” she decided to get her hair cut, styled, and colored. The issue is that the place that she normally goes to (Xenon in Omaha) was booked solid. The solution? We went to a different stylist and had her hair cut and styled… then she let me attempt to color it (she decided to have no part in it)! Here’s what it looked like before (a couple weeks ago):
Now, after two boxes of color, plenty of cursing, and just a bit of trying to work with crossed fingers, here is the end result:
Not bad! In fact, I think it’s a pretty damn good job, myself. Maybe workin’ for a beauty company is starting to rub off some!
So, Jess was bugging me to get our “Wedding Video” done and as much fun as that would have been, I really didn’t want to. So, after her nagging and vetoing all of my music/picture choices, I decided to just go all out (or, as all out as I was willing to go in 45 minutes with little effort).
Long story short, she’s now making the video, but she decided to upload the movie I made to YouTube, so enjoy:
Guess where we’ve been the past 2 hours? If you guessed “outside in the 10 degree (-3 w/ windchill) weather”, you’re right! We were all gathered up by the cops pounding on the door because there was a fire in the building. Turns out, similar to the last time this happened, it was a furnace (this time on the 2nd floor). The fire department let us back in, but they’re still downstairs trying to get it all taken care of. Here’s some pics:
The entire apartment smells like smoke now, we’re cold, Mishka is upset at being taken outside (we couldn’t get Kisa in time, sadly… yes, she’s okay, but she wouldn’t get out from under the bed!!). It’s very annoying. They’ve turned off the furnace and now one apartment is without heat (they’re moving the family). I really wish this complex would take care of their apartments instead of waiting for them to break down first.
In other news, aside from all this fun tonight, today was a great day. I bought Jess some flowers, we went out to dinner, it was just nice (until this). So, let’s leave you with a nice image, a cellphone pic of the bouquet I got for her!
I just got around to upgrading to Wordpress 2.3.2. I tell you, I’ve just been wiped out the past few months. For those wondering, the wedding went great! I’m still working on pictures, but here’s a nice one for you to chew on:
Awww… how cute! Yes, that’s a Christmas Tree behind us, as it was December 24th!
Work has got me constantly running… this past week has been insane as we had to rush and upgrade to Exchange 2007 (mainly because we were out of space and weren’t allowed to purchase Exchange 2003 Enterprise) and we’ve run into many a problem. Luckily it looks like I’ve finally gotten most of it under control (we run a 2 man shop here and I was responsible for about 95% of this little project) and the users are back working just as they were before.
I really need to update the look/feel of the site… maybe I’ll get to that in the coming weeks. I also have another domain I purchased for something I was looking to do as a side project, but it’s been sitting on the back burner (oh what could it be?!).
Anyway, I’m looking forward to the new year… I’m officially married, I’m going to see the Foo Fighters in concert in Feb, and I’m an uncle! What, I didn’t mention that? Jessica’s sister gave birth on Jan 17th to Miss Catherine Grace Stephen:
Adorable, isn’t she? I think she has my sense of style.
Okay, that’s enough for now… I have e-mail issues to attend! Expect more later… I won’t let this blog fade away!
On this Veteran’s day we look back and know there are hundreds of thousands military members that are retired and active duty who have placed their lives on the line for our country as well as others. We know of the battles they have fought overseas, but many don’t realize the financial battle many face [...]
SpaceX, the private company established by PayPal’s founder Elon Musk, has made history by successfully launching their Falcon 1 rocket and achieving orbit. Falcon 1 has made history as the first privately developed liquid fueled launch vehicle to achieve earth orbit! The amazing thing about this is that it was only their fourth [...]
What is the deal with Stand Up Comics? Do they really have to stand up? Does this somehow help the jokes they are telling? What if they get tired and have to sit down? And why don’t they just sit down anyway? It seems it’d make them more comfortable, I mean, you don’t have to [...]
Well, the world’s largest Physics experiment is up and running and we’re all still alive. Yep, the world didn’t explode and the universe didn’t end or anything. Who’d a thunk that these scientist-types knew what they were talking about?
Hopefully the tests give them the information they’re looking for and perhaps we’ll finally find out where [...]
