First, the bad news: A couple days ago someone backed into Emilie's car and smashed in the driver-side door. The good news is that the person left a note. The bad news is that the note read as follows:

The good news is that we know who left the note. The bad news is that it was Mike. The good news is that he came forward to let us know what happened, but the bad news is that he wasn't kidding about the bar. The good news is that I'm just kidding - it was all just a joke. The bad news: I'm not kidding about him hitting our car.

So, the house is behind schedule. We're now being told that it will be done sometime around March or April. Just think of all the house updates you'll get to witness!

We ate at Red Lobster tonight. It's not a place we've ever gone to before (I went once when I was in Canada), but we got a gift card from Emilie's dad for Christmas. Emilie got the Classic Tomato-Herb Linguini and I got Sirloin Steak and Fried Shrimp. I'm not big on seafood, but I tolerate shrimp as long as it's fried. We shared a Bananas Foster Cheesecake for dessert. It was all very good; however, it was out of our comfort zone. We tend to visit the same places over and over. Maybe it's good that we tried something new.

On the way home we stopped by Wal-Mart to get some essentials. While there we ended up with some non-essentials, which included a Jewel CD and the movie Amos and Andrew on DVD, since it was in the $5.50 bin.

Perhaps the worst thing to happen to me lately is Monopoly Party for the GameCube. All the fun and stress of Monopoly, but it can be played in 30-45 minutes. It's definitely a habit that should be dropped because it's pretty easy to get worked up by it. When I say worked up I mean absolutely rabid.

Back to the website updating. Yippee!
