:: So It Is Written... ::

I'm going to try to move the site. If it works, you can find it at http://blog.tmberwolff.com/

We'll see if it works or not.

In other news, there is a chance that this blog will go away for a while.  Thank you Google.  Not that I update it that often, or that anyone actually reads it, but I'm still a bit annoyed/saddened that after 8 1/2 years I may have to give up this little corner of the internet.  we'll see.  I'm holding out a little bit of hope that I can relocate it somewhere, but apparently I can only do that if I give Google a little bit of my soul or something like that. 

 

oh well.  

 

I feel like I should write something here in case this is the last post I ever get to make here, but at the same time, that's like admitting defeat.  so, yeah...

...  oook.

 

Still suck at updating.  Brianna has a tooth.  She also started walking.  Just up and walked across the kitchen.  We got it on video!  yay.  :)    She's also gotten to an age where she's learning to mimic things very well.  It's a bit scary when she tries to swipe a credit card through a machine, though.  My wallet cried a little. 

 

Christmas charity is going well this year.  14 families worth of Christmas gifts.  Not a lot per family, but we're helping where we can.

 

Got to stay in a hospital overnight for the first time since before I can remember.  for a stupid stomach bug.  lame...  

 

oops, gotta run.

I guess I really suck at this whole updating thing, huh?  I had great intention to update with lots of little things that the baby did and whatnot.  I guess when I’m at home, I’d rather spend time soaking it all in than writing it all down.  I’ll probably regret it in a few years when I can’t remember anything and didn’t write any of it down.  Lately, though, it’d look like this:  Brianna’s sick.  Still sick.  Not better, yet.  More sick.  Ear infection.  Sick.  I feel bad for her.  Wish we could get her better.  She’s been sick for 3-4 months now, with different things.  That’s more than half her little life.  Makes me want to yell at doctors who keep insisting that there’s nothing to do but wait.  I don’t like waiting. 

 

She’s not quite walking yet, but man, she’s trying.  She’ll stand up, balance herself, reach out for something else, and then let go of whatever she’s holding on to.  Of course, she instantly splats on the ground, but she doesn’t cry… she just wants to get up and try again.  She’d probably keep trying til she got it if I kept helping her up.  She has to be the cutest baby ever, in my humble, completely unbiased opinion.  :) 

 

She’s getting mobile, too.  Not crawling, though.  She just blinks a few feet in a random direction when you’re not looking. 

 

Let’s see… what else is up….

 

Work is work.  I’m the flight lead for STS-130/20A, so that’s a lot of fun.  Not too much work, though, so I’m keeping myself busy teaching lessons and trying to get certified in different things.  I find that work is more stressful and less fun than it used to be.  It’s mostly due to politics and some stress from certain people I work with, but those things are unavoidable, so what can you do?  It’s not unbearable…  but I do leave work pissed off from time to time.  I don’t think it’ll drive me away from here, though. 

 

I definitely miss family, though.  It’s inexpressible how much it sucks to be 12 hours from family.  Someday, I’m sure I’ll decide that it’s not worth a cool job to be this far away from family.  I kinda hope it’s not too late by then.  I don’t want Brianna to think that grandparents are people you see once during the summer.

 

Also, I bought a car. 

 

A GT500. 

 

Finally.   :)

 

My wallet might regret it, but for now, I don’t.  Although, it’s a beast of a car, and honestly scares me a little.  I’m sure I’ll get over it, but right now, the thing’s putting out over 600 HP at the wheels (thank you pulley and cold air intake mods).  When you hit the gas, it screams.  Literally.  Oh wait.. that might have been me.  

 

I don’t think I’ll be driving it to its fullest for a while.  I don’t care what kind of traction control the thing has, it’s hard enough to keep it in control on dry roads in a straight line when you give it some gas.  But hey, I’ve got a while to figure it out, right?

I've managed to avoid feeling the need to edit Wikipedia articles (even the one about Blackle being Google's attempt to further racism)… until now.    Found the article on Shanghai, and just couldn't help but clarify and tweak a couple of the rules.   Now, it's almost perfect.   I would change the scoring, but I guess that can wait.
