Clean And Organized

When we found out that I would be getting laid off from Centercode, Holly was actually somewhat excited because it meant that I would have time to get things done around the house.  In addition to finishing organizing the garage and shed, Holly had plans for painting and organizing Alex’s bedroom and getting all of the baby stuff set up in there.

I decided to start with the garage since it had been on my list of stuff to do for the longest amount of time.  I knew that it was in bad shape but I had no idea that it would take me a week to get looking how I envisioned.  I started by moving everything in the garage that belonged in the shed out.  This meant that in addition to organizing the garage, I had to also organize the mostly empty shed.  This wasn’t too big of a deal but it did take some time.

What A Week…

I know that it’s been a while since I posted anything.  I actually have good reasons for not doing so.  Last week was complete chaos in the Zohner home.  Let me try and catch everyone up.

Last Friday, my sister Chelsea got married.  Because of this, my mom came into town from Denver.  The last time she was here, she made a comment about how the basement looked just as it had months earlier when she last saw it.  I wasn’t about to let that happen again so I spent 35 hours over the weekend painting and installing the home theater speakers.  I started on Friday afternoon and finally finished Sunday evening.  Lucky for me, Chelsea and Nick came over and helped a bit which actually ended up helping a lot because without them, I wouldn’t have been ready on Monday when we had the flooring installed.  Now I just have a few things left and then the basement will be complete.  YAY!

Curse You Will Wright

I’ve always been a big fan of games created by Will Wright.  For those who are unfamiliar with who he is, he’s the mastermind behind games like SimCity and The Sims.  If you have ever played one of those games, then you know how addictive they can be.  You also know that they are so engrossing that it’s possible to sit down with the intent to play for twenty minutes and get up fourteen hours later wondering where the time went.  It’s almost like time travel.

Will Wright’s most recent game is called Spore.  It is a combination of every other one of his sim games and then some.  You basically start off as a cell, eating either small plants or meat chunks.  Eventually you grow and evolve into a space faring civilization.  The fun part about it is that you get to choose how your creature evolves.  Will it have multiple eyes and spit poison?  Maybe it will be aggressive and eat other creatures?
