Your friendly maintenance man

I was looking around my house the other day, and realized that I'm destined to become a maintenance man. I have enough projects to keep me busy for the rest of this year, and that's in addition to the normal maintenance like mowing the yard. Now I know it's just aimless bitching by a guy who is lucky enough to own his own home, but fuck it, it's my blog and I'll cry if I want to. amiright?

The golden children have been sick, and frankly it's getting old......really old. It's been a week and a half, and I'm ready for the little monkeys to get back to school. Hopefully tomorrow will be the first day that everyone is back to school.

This weekend is dinner and a movie night for my honey and I, and I'm looking forward to it. This is also my opportunity to reset the sex-o-meter. It's now been approximately a week and a half, which isn't too bad. We got busy on a Tuesday night, which actually felt sort of naughty somehow. I think I was getting conditioned to only getting laid over the weekends.

skylights

So yeah, skylights....brilliant design for lighting up a room or evil plan to build leaky roofs? At the moment I could go either way on this one. Think I mentioned before that one of my skylights started leaking the other day. I got up on the roof Sunday to take a look, and it ended up with me being on the roof half the day replacing the caulk both around the skylight box and around the skylight plastic. Only had to make one trip to get supplies, so I guess that's good?!  I also found out a tube of the black flashing caulk will only fix one of the overly large skylights I've been cursed/blessed with. So apparently, I need to find out who makes this crap and buy stock in the company because they are going to be getting a fair amount of my money over the next few weeks.

Had a weekend of duck hunting last weekend, which basically resulted in me getting to be out in the great outdoors without actually getting to shoot anything. Didn't realize we had all these ducks with graduate degrees in advanced hunter avoidance. Bastards.

Still nothing on the sex tracker. It has now been slighly over a week, which really isn't too bad, especially considering there it's a "bad time of the month", nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more....I'm not to the point of needing a girlfriend yet, but if I could get permissio to have one, it would be game on.

Well crap

That was probably the worst LSU game I've watched in a really, really long time. I don't know what the fuck happened here, if they were overconfident, or if Bama is really that good, but son of a bitch.

On the bright side, I did get laid last weekend, so the dry spell is over and we are starting the countdown over again. Set the counter at 4 days and I'll try to keep track as I go.

Just to top off my having to watch that abortion of a game, my roof is leaking a little at one of the skylights. Guess I'll have to forego duck hunting this weekend to get up there and try to fix it. Not sure exactly what the problem is, but my guesses are either some debris on the roof is backing up the water under the flashing, or the caulking around the skylight is wearing out. Shit!

Still in a dry spell….

So yeah, I guess the title does in fact say it all. Last night, my honey was asking me “are you in a bad mood or something”? In the interest of not picking a fight, I thought it best to not tell her I was sexually frustrated. Unfortunately, I am. I've also got a little bit of a cold, which is preventing me from burning off energy by walking/running. I'm hoping that will improve so I can get the fuck out of the house and burn off some frustration.

So other stuff going on as well. Work is busy, trying to figure out how to best use the new software at work. Got to get some of the reports customized to match how we want to do things. Setting our 2012 goals as well. New M&A/JV target in the picture, that will hopefully take off next week, then the PE guys come in for a couple of days.

Starting to get stressed out about the National Championship next Monday. Alabama is going to be a tough out, but if anyone can do it, the Tigers can. I’m just deathly afraid that we might lose, and let these ass clowns back into a championship. In my opinion, they really have no business being there, and it completely devalues the regular season game as well as the SEC championship that we won.

THe Golden Children are doing well. Somehow, my 8 year old is showing signs of puberty, which scares the ever-loving shit out of me. I'm not happy about this at all, she's got some buds on her chest, and is getting hormonal.at.8.

This sucks. 

For my personal goals, I want to organize my personal finances, finish some house projects, lose 5-10 pounds, and run a 10K. If I can convince myself it's a good idea, I may try to upgrade that to a half marathon.
