Posted November 18, 2005

Today ended up being pretty cool, thanks mostly to my beautiful wife.

I decided that I would treat myself and work from home, or so I thought. I worked from home until just around noon, taking a short break to rake the front lawn. It was nice to be relaxed, and I had some leeway with my hours since I had already put in a certain amount for the week. I did end up going into work with some persuasion from my co-workers, had some cake, and found my monitor wrapped in Batman lights (like Christmas lights of Batman’s head) via Chris. That was a neat idea.

Then on the way home I went to Home Depot and got some lawn bags and new ceiling tiles. When I got home, Emily had called so I talked with her for a little bit, bagged some leaves, then talked to my parents.

Sarah had made a whole bunch of calls on Thursday night, such a sweetheart, but only four people were still free. Around 7 the fun started. Wes and Kate got there, and then about 7:15 or so Chris and Michelle arrived. We had a lot of beer, pizza, and played a ton of Batman Uno (one of Sarah’s presents as well as some other stuff including a Colts Jersey to be picked out by me.) Later on we switched to playing sequence and then briefly to Scene It. It was a decently short night, we had started early enough that everyone headed out before 1.
