ramble

Elizabeth and I wanted to thank everyone for helping with the Tulsa Fiesta party this past weekend. It was a really nice time to see everyone and we had Mexican food way to much this week with all of the leftovers.

So tonight started the best night of TV for us. THE OFFICE is back on and my life is now complete. I am just glad that y'all trusted me and esp Karen after making fun of me for watching is a big fan of the show.


So I read Kathy's friend Dawn blog every once in a while and she always does this tackle it Tuesday bit and it is now become a joke for Liz and i, that anything we do we say we are going to blog about it. I think tackle it Tuesday is a good idea. While Liz was studying for her test i starting cleaning and organize the kitchen. It was on a Monday so i didn't know what to call my Monday project.....


anyways enough with my ramblings....... Hope you y'all have a good weekend and i cant wait for the new NBC show Kath and Kim.... glad Kim and Kathy finally made a TV show. =)

Weekly Update???

I am not real good at blogging because i don't really feel like we have any thing to blog about....


We had a really busy weekend and put on a lot of miles on the cars.... Saturday was pretty crazy with Hurricane Ike rolling into DFW area.... It wasn't as bad as everyone thought but it was really nasty out.

Saturday Liz and her mom had to go to a wedding shower in Weatherford,TX (hr west of FW) so i was going to be a good husband and get some new windshield wipers for her car, get her car inspected, and hang out with her brother. Well at the inspection the guy said he was going to fail the car because there in an exhaust leak. So then i take the car to the Firestone store down the road. They charge me $30 to tell me there is a hole in the exhaust system. duhhhhhhhhhhh and of course they couldn't fix it. I am now in the process of looking for a guy to fix it for cheap. If i take it to Volvo it is going to be a $800-$1000 to fix. Awesome.... Well i still haven't got ahold of a guy that i know at work that can fix it and her car still has a hole and still has an out of date inspection.

After all of that we had to head 1.5hrs north east in the rain to make a wedding that Liz was doing the scripture reading in. For our one/two monthaversy we decided to stay in a hotel over there by the wedding so we didn't have to drive back to Grapevine in the Hurricane. It was really fun to spoil ourselves for a night. We got up the next morning and went to our favorite place to eat brunch and then we walked around the outdoor shopping area.

Sunday was also pay back moving day for some guys that help us move into our apartment on the 3rd floor.

So that was our busy weekend in a nutshell. We are heading up to Tulsa for a party that mom and dad are putting on. Hope to see y'all there

labor day

This weekend we decided to head up to the big town of Rattan, OK. It was great to take naps, sleep in, look at the stars, eat some good food, get all dolled up to go into town (hugo wal-mart), and have a phone that didn't really work.

Last night I had a few guys over for a fantasy football draft and it was one of the 1st time we had guest over to our humble abode. Liz cooked us some appetizers. She made homemade black bean dip, homemade guacomole, chicken nachos, and chips and salsa. She is becoming a pretty good chef lately. =) which is pretty good for me.


Well i had two houses close last week and i have two closing next week so i am going to be pretty stressed out with that, but after mid september i am going to be SLOW. .... i am starting to get worried about it so i have been working on putting my resume together. So if you could be praying for us as we try to figure out what we should do.


hope all is going well.

call centers

So this week ever call center i could call i think i have called.

I spent about an hour on Friday night to save $15 and to get my free showtime back on after it got cut off last week with directv

Sunday i call back to directv because my cable box kept resetting every time i turned it back on. It takes over 6 mins. to re set so that was really annoying.

We have DSL Internet and it is the worst Internet ever.... it cuts out all of the time. So i call the att people about the Internet and of course they say it is a wireless issue and not their issue. so no help there

Monday i call to switch Liz's cell phone over to my account. I have tried doing this since before the wedding. so this was like my 5th call and it finally get it all done (after an hour). Well i go online to look at the account and att transferred someone elses number to my account. So i call back and they couldn't understand why i was mad or what was wrong. So i put the hammer down and made it very clear that i wasn't happy and i needed this resolved. So i get put on hold and transferred around and i finally get to someone. So i had to wait as they call the number that they put on my account and get that guy to verify that he wasn't me or something and then i had to re do the whole thing i did 4 hours earlier. HEAD ACHE!!!! i ask the lady what she is going to do for me to make me happy and she goes i will wave the $18 transfer fee. gee thanks... since it was waved the 1st time i called 4 hours ago. i ask for a new phone discount and she is no help. so i just tell her that she obviously doesn't want to make me happy or care about my time so just do what you have to do and get this call over with.

so you think that is all that has happened.... WRONG

i have a small loan on my car and i go to make a payment on it and i get locked out of that account because i failed a security question. so i have to go dig up the debit card they sent me and find 10 different numbers to get into that bank to make my car payment.

next on the list of call centers.... Bank of America.... they wont let me log into my account without changing my password and log in. so i go to do it and follow all of the rules they set for the password and log in. it would not work. so i click to chat with someone to help me. he gives me like five different temp passwords and none of them work, so now i have to go into a branch or call another 1800 number to get it fixed. if you are like me i try to have one log in and one password for everything but now i have like 20 because of all the banks and sites i deal with. I also do everything online and not being able to log in causes a huge problem.


sorry to vent but i have spent over 6 hours since Friday night with call/chat centers. what else can go wrong this week.

oh ya i took a picture of Liz on her first day of school so i will try to post it for you guys later....

an update for kim

Well Kim you wanted an update on our blog.....


Been pretty busy this week with working out, went on a date on Tuesday night, celebrated Bobby's 18th birthday in Ft Worth on Wednesday, went to happy hour last night followed up by a trip to IKEA and then we put together our IKEA purchase.

We got a TV stand and a coffee table. We decided to go cheap since we live in an one bedroom apartment on the third floor.

Tonight i have a personal training session (wish me luck), On Saturday we are going to our friend Andy's play in Dallas and Liz is getting ready to start work and school on Monday.


I also have two houses closing next Friday and two houses closing on September 12. So work will be busy for the next few weeks and then i am going to be pretty slow for the rest of the fall/winter. =(


Sorry i really don't have any funny stories or exciting news to tell you guys....
