Re: Kudos To You!!

I announced in the interrogation room that my wife is pregnant again but I forgot to mention that my sister is also pregnant. I get to be a daddy again and a first-time uncle! :D

My poor mother is in for quite a ride. She takes care of my daughter during the day and will be adding our little 2.0 and my sister's kid. The kicker is this: my sister and wife are due a week apart. The end of October is going to be quite eventful!

Re: Kudos To You!!

My wife and I bought a new car on Friday. I though the process would take much longer but it took us two days to go from test drive to writing a big fat check. We replaced her 2001 Honda Civic with a 2015 Honda Accord. There's so much room that I swear there's an echo.

Re: Kudos To You!!

In the wee hours of the morning today I became an uncle. :)

My sister had a rough time though. She was in labor for 24 hours until they determined my niece was turned a little sideways, necessitating a C-section. She's also going to be in the NICU for a few days because she has a fever. No pictures to share just yet. I probably won't get to see her until after our daughter is born (which will hopefully be tomorrow).

Re: Kudos To You!!

Thanks for all the kind words you guys! Lilah is content to sleep when she isn't nursing. We got home a little before noon today, so it's been nice to have a quiet afternoon to relax. My parents are watching our oldest for the next few days while we get Lilah adjusted to home life. We've already caught ourselves calling Lilah her sister's name a number of times. :fist:

Nov 5th babies get fireworks to celebrate.
My wife and I tried to make a list of names together but we kept picking apart each other's preferences on our shortlist. We scrapped the joint list and looked again on our own. When we compared our lists, Lilah was the only name that was on both of our lists. It's funny, because the name wasn't even on our original joint list.

Evangeline was on my name list but I almost left it off specifically because of the connection to Lost. I didn't want anyone to think I was using a Lost or Star Wars reference just to be a dorky fan (though I lobbied hard for Rosalyn early on out of my love for Calvin & Hobbes). I kept Evangeline on there anyway because its a very pretty name and it means. When we pulled our lists together, we threw all the other names on after Lilah to see how they all sounded as middle names. Sure enough, Evangeline won out. Lilah Evangeline has a very nice flow and uses multiple vowel sounds. The word dork in me is proud of that. :biggrin:

My niece passed all her tests and was released from the NICU on Saturday. She and my sister were able to come home today as well. I have yet to meet her but we're going to meet up sometime this week.

Not sure if this counts as a kudos to me but my work phone was upgraded to a smartphone. My personal phone is still a dumbphone. Learning how to post on a smartphone is tricky. :srsnod:

Dragon D. Luffy wrote:So... I feel like I'm getting pretty good at hunting baddies lately. The last 4 games I played there was one guy I was the first one to spot when no one else did.

I blame this site. I've lost every game I played here as a civ, but I've learned so much from that. It taught me every "do" and "don't" of baddie hunting, I feel. Now, instead of trying to hunt every baddie at once and going for the ones making noise, I'm specializing at finding that one guy nobody is paying attention to.

Now I only need to stop being terrible at playing as a baddie.
Practice makes perfect. Or in this case, practice makes evil. ;)

Re: Kudos To You!!

Last weekend my oldest daughter's preschool had a Fall Festival, which included a silent auction. I cleaned up like a pro. :slick:

I won the goodie basket that my daughter's class put together (movies, snacks, games, puzzles) because I'd have felt like a bad dad if I didn't vote on my kid's class's basket. I also scored:

-Two learn-to-ski packages for 1/3 the retail price (one for my wife and one for Chloe)
-Passes to an area wildlife park/zoo at just under retail
-Ice skating passes for half the retail price
-A pizza & bowling package for 2/3 the retail price

Christmas is going to be awesome. I love giving experiences rather than things. :)

Re: Kudos To You!!

And I spoke too soon. While driving home from the office, I realized I still have to determine our sales and wages expenses in the state of Maryland so our CPA can do our Maryland return as well. It should only take me an hour to do but still... thanks a lot Maryland. :fist:

Re: Kudos To You!!

Last night was the first of our two annual HOA meetings. Three people volunteered to serve as board members along with one of the current board members being willing to stay on. That means that, after three years as HOA Treasurer, I get to step down!

Awesome! Now do the responsible adult thing and keep the monthly payment amount in your budget but put it into savings each month. :srsnod:

Re: Kudos To You!!

Or.... depending on how large your monthly payment was, you could save 2/3 to 3/4 of your former car payment and put the remaining 1/4 to 1/3 to work and add it to whatever you currently pay on any student loans or credit card debt (if you carry credit card debt- please say no). That way you're both saving AND reducing your debt. Win-win baby. Win-win.
