Goal #1 completed for the year, which was to lose 20 pounds. The added bonus is that it coincided with the scale reading below 220 for the first time in a long time….a really long time. Melody assures me that our scale is off by a couple of pounds, but im ignoring that (for now…at  [ Read More ]

Anyone who knew me before August 2009 would have said that I would never be the type of person to go without meat for more than a week, except maybe on a dare. So, when I inexplicably decided to go vegetarian in August 2009, I surprised a few people, and also myself a little. I  [ Read More ]

Melody and I were in White Lake for the weekend, but on Saturday we drove in to see her friend in Wilmington who had just given birth to twins. The real reason that Melody will only partially admit though, is that we went to Wilmington so Melody could eat at Priddyboy’s. She loves that place….possibly  [ Read More ]

I may have mentioned Chubby’s Tacos before. It’s an awesome taco/burrito/quesadilla/nacho place near where I work (there’s a few more of them), and it’s where we went to lunch today. The good thing was that I had a Groupon, which meant that Garrison and I both ate lunch and only paid a total of $4.14.  [ Read More ]

Today at work I spent some time learning about a command line utility that will make my life so much easier. It’s a module for Drupal (the content management system that i spend a lot of my time on), and it makes a lot of the administrative tasks much easier and quicker. The first thing  [ Read More ]

My old friend Palmer was staying with us for the weekend, having driven up from South Carolina to hang out for my birthday and play some golf. So we headed to play at Lonnie Poole, the new NC State golf course, with my friend Jason Austin, and his friend Dave. I was worried during the  [ Read More ]

Today at work was fairly forgettable…i mean…it’s the last week before Christmas break, so there’s not a lot going on. I did take care of a bunch of smaller things for different clients, which will free up some time in January, but other than those things, it’s been pretty quiet. Tonight though, Stefanie, Lee, Allyson  [ Read More ]

Melody worked late tonight, and so I was in charge of dinner. For starters, I have no problem navigating my way around the kitchen, although Melody would have you believe that I need a lot of help, or ask too many questions…..well..she might be right about that last part. Anyway…I like to be judged on  [ Read More ]

At Thanksgiving, vegetarians canĀ  be left wanting, while the rest of the crew chow down on Turkey, Ham, and stuffing infused with Chicken Broth. But not for us. Today, we over-stuffed ourselves with a full meal, all vegetarian-friendly, and we were definitely not left wanting for anything. Melody and I cracked what felt like a  [ Read More ]

Today, Melody and I drove to Mebane, NC to the new Tanger Outlets that just opened. We needed to do some shopping, as our spawnwatch schedule will prevent last minute purchases closer to Christmas day. We arrived there around 11:30am, and almost turned around and left. Well, we almost turned around, and drive an hour  [ Read More ]
