Oh Yeah, this is the one you've been waiting for

Tidbits of My Life Recently

I finally got Call of Duty 4. Love it. I haven't played an Online FPS consistently since counter-strike back in my college days. So far I haven't played much online COD4 but I can tell I am going to. It is fun and those only become more fun when you get to know the Maps. Also COD4 has an advancement system which allows you to upgrade you player when you gain more experience... pretty cool.

I busted a wine glass trying to move it from one cupboard to another. That was a bummer because it was a crystal wine glass from our wedding. (I've already broken one of our Champagne flutes... and of course it was the one with the slanted engraving and it was like 5 months into our marriage... and I've broke one of our beer steins that was about 6 months after the flute) The worst part though... I cut my left middle finger right in the flesh of the meat. You know what these means... no more Guitar Hero for a while. Also, when I type... I don't use my left middle finger. I am surprised at how efficient my typing still is.

We got a Christmas tree! Carrie's Mom decided we finally needed a X-mas tree so her and Carrie went out and got one today. Tonight we decorated it and watched Deck the Halls. It was a very Christmas night and it is beginning to feel like we are really starting a family of our own.

I watched the baby all by myself today. I know, hold your breath but its true, it was just me, the dogs and Evie today for about 2 hours. Granted she slept the whole time but that was because I was able to get her to keep sleeping the whole time.

Going back to the COD4 online play... I love playing online and being the moron that just runs around shooting anything. I am a Kamakazee!!! There is nothing better than pissing off the really good players by killing them doing the most stupid strategy. Granted I love playing "for real" too but sometimes its just fun to be an idiot.

My little bro, Nick, had his bag stolen the other day at the Hospital. Since they didn't realize it was missing till they were back in Midland, I got to play detective. While I feel bad for Nick, it was a lot of fun searching for his backpack. First I checked the tall grass and the weeds to see if they ditched the pack in there. Nope... just a bunch of rubbers and pop cups. Then I thought to myself... WWSD... What Would Scumbags Do? Then I saw it... an opening in the back fence and beyond that a playground. "Hmm" I said out loud. "Perhaps the sack grabbers went in a direction some might not expect." So I went through the opening and saw across the road some clothes on the ground. This led to a backpack, a book, a broken jackknife, 60 cents, a pencil, a flashlight/laser pointer and a trail down the sidewalk. So in the end, I solved the mystery.

I ate fresh mango for breakfast this morning... its seriously tasted like St. Thomas... I love the Caribbean.
