Post Holidays

Been a busy few weeks since the holidays have come and gone. There's obviously work, as always but the past few weekends have been pretty fun. First off, on January second we went to see the Bruins Legends game at Fenway Park which was totally awesome! (Although ridiculously cold). Here's a link to all the pix we took:

Then the next weekend we went to a charity concert called Hot Stove, Cool Music which is put on by Peter Gammons and Theo Epstein (GM of the Sox). Amy was of course happy to see both Bronson Arroyo (who happened to walk right by us) and Tinted Windows (who were actually pretty good!) Here's some pix from that show:

Anyways, that's bout it, think the next couple weekends will be pretty laid back watchin movies, playing games etc. :)

Christmas

So Christmas has come and gone and all presents have been exchanged and unwrapped. Amy got me a Kindle from Amazon which is an electronic reader and you can download books wirelessly. Thing is totally neat! Reading Dan Brown's "Lost Symbol" which so far is pretty good. Also got Red Sox/Bruins items as well as tickets to the Bruins Legends Game on Jan 2! :-D For Amy I got her a bunch of stuff from the Office, some stuff animals, clothes etc. Also getting her a car starter sometime this week :)

Hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday!

Boo Snow!

So it's 11am here and soon enough it's gonna be near blizzard conditions here in MA. Some stations are forecasting 15-20". Ugh, talk about Mother Nature socking it too us. It's been fairly quiet this winter but it's about to get ugly real quick. Glad we got us a new snowblower hehe. Well, at this rate, I think we'll be having a White Christmas.

Since I've last blogged not much has really been happening. Weezer had to cancel, work is the same ole, and yea, that's about it. Oh, and it's been f$%king cold.

Weezah!

Is how you say it in Bahstin and we're gonna be seeing them on December 7th up at Boston University with Jack's Mannequin! Cannot wait, we were both a little disappointed when we didn't get to see them with Blink but Amy reasoned that a)they're not headlining and b)they'll probably go on tour soon after Blink182 is over. Sure enough they're back on tour and one of their few acts, they're playing in Boston! I cannot wait!!! :)

Halloween time!

Almost that time to get all dressed up and hand out treats to the kiddies. Looking forward to getting together with some of our friends and interested to see what they're dressed up as. Since there's probably only 2 ppl that read this blog, you probably already know what we're going as :P

Anyways, we're all stocked up on candy and we're rocking and ready to go!

Operation: Get Caitlin up to Mass

Man, I need to blog more. Seems like this is just becoming a monthly thing.

So, since having my doubts I had a change of heart and am now on the reserve list to become a full time police officer! I'm glad I got Amy around to keep my head on straight and have faith in me :)Basically now what happens is that I sit around and wait for my name to come up for a full time position which won't be for years haha.

What else has been going on. Hmm, well nothing much really. As of this moment, myself and Amy are trying to convince her bff Caitlin to move up to Mass to work for Fox. Sure she'll freeze up here for a lil bit but before she knows it, she'd be a tried and true New Englander. So ya hear me Caitlin? You'll love it up here and you and your Hanson bff can carpool and sing all your Hanson favs on your way to work! :)











Oh and how can you forget El Pato and Ana!

Doubts

So, things have changed a little since my last blog entry. Recently I received a call about the job position that I had interviewed for and was told that one of the people vying for the job dropped his name from the running and I was next in line. Of course I was thrilled and was told that if I could, to attend a doctors physical that afternoon. Of course I said...and then was told I'd have to pay out of pocket for it. Um, why am I paying for healthcare then? So, I was like, 'ok, gotta do what I gotta do' and went ahead and paid a ridiculous amount of money for what I coulda had my doc do for just a simple co-pay.

Well, now zip forward a couple weeks to the present day where I have a physical agility test which I'm now finding I have to pay for once again, out of pocket. And on top of it, I'm being told that I cannot take a training day for it and have to burn two vacation days. Sure, people tell me it'll be worth it in the long run, but if I'm having doubts about it now, what's to say I won't have these doubts down the road? Oh, did I mention, that basically I just get on this list to be hired even though I won't be hired for several years down the road, probably when I'm close to 40? I got a lot weighing on me right now and just not sure what I wanna do anymore. :(
