Wow, it’s already November.  Time is flying.  So to elaborate on my October post, the last few months have been quite crazy!  I’ve gotten settled in to my 2-bed, 2-bath apartment that I share with me, myself, and I.  I’ve taken my first business trip that lasted 6 days (I worked in Beaverton, OR, near Portland).  I’ve gone on a two month spending spree to fill out my apartment.  I discovered the gender of my soon-to-be nephew.  I’ve installed Windows 7 on my PC and I’m loving it!  And I’m planning my schedule for the hectic holiday season.

I love my new Canon EOS Rebel T1i.  I’ve got a lot to learn, but ever since I got my first digital camera in 2002 photography has been a passion.  These two photos are a few of the things I’ve bought to fill out my apartment.  Most of the dishes are dirty at the moment, so the cabinet seems a bit empty.  It’s normally full to the brim.  I have enough settings for 8 people.

I’m looking forward to the coming months.  I’m planning a holiday party for some of my coworkers.  This will be a good début of the dishware, my cooking skills, and my hosting abilities.  Amanda, my sister is due in January.  I’m very excited about the addition to our family.  Plus, babies can be used as chick-magnets .  I’ve also started planning for the purchase of a house.  It probably won’t happen until after 2010, but I want to get a fixer-upper.  I don’t want it to be falling apart, but it could be in need of a remodel.

I’m almost settled into my new apartment.  I still have a lot to do in the second bedroom (my office), but I’ll have to get some shelves to get it completely finished.  I’m getting my list together of things that I need to buy to fill out my apartment.  Dishes, glasses, silverware, and an HDTV are at the top of my list.

Cable and Internet was connected last Tuesday.  I am currently watching the History Channel in HD.  The program is about robot warriors.  I’m a little creeped out by how the military is using robots.  World domination by the machines will be here soon enough.

I definitely like having the whole place to myself.  I can just relax and do what I want in my new place.  Once I get the dishes, I’m going to plan a dinner party to have people over.  That should be fun!
