Negotiate! …a little.

We got a call from our real estate agent last night. Apparently, the owners of the house we bid on this week changed their mind about negotiating with us. The graciously decided to lower their asking price by…wait for it…$100!!!
Wow! I’m sold! Come on…this isn’t a pride thing. I don’t need [...]

Negotiate? Never!

Well, we found a house that we really liked in Oromocto. It was recently renovated, and it was in a good area. It was just what we’d been looking for, and although it was a bit more than we are willing to spend, we thought there was a chance the owner would come [...]

Mac in the Shop

So, I finally dropped my Mac off to get repaired. I’ve been having this random problem where I’ll get kernel panics every few days. I’ve been putting it off because I just didn’t want to go without my Mac, but the warranty only has a couple of months left on it, so now [...]

Passport Arrived

It’ just too bad we won’t need them for our trip to Florida next month. We ended up buying tickets to fly from Maine because it was about half [...]

Last night we went to see 3 properties, and all 3 of [...]

I still had 2 years left on my contract with Telus, so they wouldn’t let me do a hardware upgrade. That meant I was going to need to spend $300 + tax [...]

Premier’s Visit

Today at work, we got a visit from Premier Shawn Graham. I’m not exactly sure why he was there, but he was taking a tour of our office and shaking hands and introducing himself to everybody he could find.
It must be a difficult job to have. I mean, whenever he’s in [...]

Florida, Here We Come

Erin and I recently booked a trip to Florida. We’ve been wanting to take a vacation for quite a while now, but taking time off at my previous job wasn’t that easy. We were pretty under-staffed, and if I took time off, that meant that somebody else had to work overtime.
Anyway, we’re going [...]

Broken RAZR

I got home from work yesterday to this pretty sight. The phone still works fine, but I still have 2 years left on the contract. Who wants to walk around with a cracked screen for 2 years?
I guess it’s time for a new phone.

Who’s Your Daddy?

We’ve been keeping this a secret until recently. We wanted to wait a couple of months to make sure everything was ok with the pregnancy before telling everybody. Needless to say, we’re pretty excited!
