Weekend without Jeremy

The rest of our week went as it normally does. I didn't really do the ABC's with Jeremy as much as I wanted. Hopefully that'll change next week. Dad came over on Thursday to run the satellite line into the house. The satellite has been working well for the last few weeks. I wanted him to run the high speed wire from the comp room to the living room but the wire was too short. I got an invite for the COD Beta. I just signed up for callofduty.com last Sunday and got the invite a few days later. I wanted to try it so I put Jeremy's TV downstairs. It's decent for all the right reasons but it feels old. I want to get Farcry 2 because of the map making. I hope they have an upgrade system. I met Dad at work and he took Jeremy home on Friday. Jeremy and Dad walked into Fedex with me. I thought he would've been excited but he wasn't too impressed by it. Been getting cold at work. I was asked if I wanted voluntary OT at work on Friday and I told him no. He'll probably start coping an attitude with me. I don't want to do it when it's cold outside. Jess came here and they went to the Waldorf hotel. Holly said it was awesome. Holly was waiting for me when I got home. We talked a bit and then went to bed. Saturday we just relaxed. Went to Arby's for dinner and bought our TV stand and another DVD holder. Came home and I watched the hockey game. Rangers played well and should've won the game. They got shitty calls against them, especially the too many men on the ice which led to Detroit tying and eventually winning in OT. Holly and I were all set to watch Love Guru and we tried for a few minutes but it was terrible. We watched 'Walk Hard' instead. It was actually funny and well written. We made love and then hung out downstairs a bit. I beat GTA and played a while longer to get some achievments. I still want to unlock some of the stuff in the game but I may start playing Mass Effect. Sunday we both woke up at 2. I watched half the Giant's game and hung around until hockey. Hockey sucked. There were 40 guys there and they split it into four teams. We didn't play consectively. Instaed we played 20 and got off and played 20 and got off. I scored one goal in the first game and had two assists in the third. I made some bad passes to Chris but made some alright passes otherwise. I was falling all over the place because I was skating hard. I hurt my knee and bit and hope it feels ok tomorrow. Walking doesn't seem to bother it but standing straight up does. Jerey wasn't so great at hockey. He goes crazy when Dustin is around. We got some BK on the way home.

Holly went for her tests this week. They said she looked good during the stress test.

Holly back to work

Jeremy and I had a good day together. He was pretty good doing the ABC's. I limited the time we were doing it so he wouldn't get bored. I'm going to do it everyday in just ten to twenty minute intervals. We went outside and played some T-ball and Basketball. We came in and put together his parking garage. The design was easy but snapping the pieces into place and putting all the stickers on it was a pain. At least it's done. Made a quick meal of spaghetti since it was Holly's first day back and I didn't know how her stomach would be. She had a good day and I'm relieved. She even ate lunch with other people. Played a little GTA before work. Work was slow. I was sore from hockey. Had to recoup two skids on a deck. I don't think the second skid was shrink wrapped at all. It was OWB too. Went food shopping afterwards. Bought an FM transmitter and more RCA cables. Have to buy a surge protector for the living room. Want to get the entertainment center sometime soon.

Best Weekend in Months

It was a beautiful weekend, most likely the last one for the year. We just hung around most of Saturday. We took a walk to IGA and bought a few odds and ends. Came home and I tried to watch the Ranger game online and there was a problem with the feed. They scored three goals quickly and I caught another feed to see the 4th. The rest of the game was torture as they gave up three goals (1 was goalie interference) but they ended up pulling it off. Holly and I watched Casino Royale which I wanted to see for a long time. Liked it. It was a relaxing Saturday. Sunday we got up and went to Beltsville Park. We had a mini picnic and then went fishing. I was surprised to get a bite and wasn't ready for it. Jeremy actually stood there and fished for the 30 mins or so we were fishing. If I put a worm on there he'll be reeling it in every second. We went for a mini walk across the park afterwards but couldn't find the hiking trails. There were no maps to be found. Finally found a map as we were leaving. Came home, rushed to eat, Holly showered and we went to hockey. Tim told us to be there at 7 but it didn't start until 730. There were a lot of different faces. We ended up having 9 a side. Any more than that and people will start bitching about making three teams and having 3 teams is a waste. It was the fastest, best hockey I've played in a long time. Everyone seemed to be playing hard. It definitely didn't like Big Wheel and if the league was like this a few weeks ago, I would've made it a priority to get there sooner. I had a great game with at least 4 goals and 4 assists. I botched two breakaways and had some bad shots which bother me just a bit. Got home and took a bath. The water smelled stagnant when I emptied the tub. Watched a few South Park episodes and played GTA the rest of the night. Trying to finish the game and I should be close. want to get the main storyline out of the mix so I can try to get some achievements and just run amok in the city.
