Now that things are cooling off here in Austin, I have started working on the house again. My most recent project has been trying to convert the garage back into the garage. When I bought my house three years ago, the previous owners had turned 3/4 of the garage into a bedroom. I have had [...]
I just returned from a two week vacation and right now I feel like I already need another one. It’s been a stressfull few weeks in the (still new) self-employment world. We have found that we have a few clients that just drain me. Very needy and require quite a bit of time and hand [...]
On Friday morning the postmaster delivered the 2009 UT Season tickets to my front door. Even though UT has the worst home football schedule, I’m still pretty excited about the upcoming season and football in general. For those of you wanting to attend a UT game this fall, I have two extra tickets for most [...]

This past weekend I ended up taking a water sample to my local pool supply store to have the water tested. I have been having issues keeping the pool water blue after a few days of adding cholrine. I had a feeling that something was up since I have been spending more and more money [...]
I’m thinking about the painting the outside of my house a new color including the brick. I recently got my roof replaced and pick a somewhat neutral color for the shingles. I had to redo a lot of the trim around the house because it was either rotted out or wasn’t in good shape. I [...]
I have lived in Texas my entire life and it’s hard to believe, but I have NEVER flown on Southwest Airlines. A few friends and I are taking a trip to the Pacific Northwest this coming July. I am meeting this group of friends in California and then driving up through the Northwest and up [...]
If you have never heard of Skype, it’s time to get with the program. I feel like I have been one of the last few people to get on board with Skype. Many of my friends that live overseas have been using it for years and a lot of people have said nothing but great [...]
