I have been meaning to get around to updating this as it’s already been a month or so. The house sale was finalized, and I have been living in my new house for a bit and am finally starting to get settled in. I still have a few things to move over from the old house (primarily bedroom furniture). I actually have this scheduled for today. I am just waiting on a call back from a friend who I talked to about assisting me with this. I am really enjoying everything so far especially having my own space. After almost 37 years, I’d certainly say it’s about time. My neighbors are nice as well. I’ve already had a few conversations with them, and I even had a treat trade with their dogs and mine. I am looking forward to having a house warming party as well which I have scheduled in a couple of weeks. Other than that, I don’t have much going on but some nice relaxing.

So, I decided I need to add something to my blog today, but I don’t really have much more than my recent updates. So, I thought I would just go onto some random things about myself. Where do I start this at?

Well, I enjoy playing with my dogs, but when I do, I think I act totally weird and overly goofy with them. I rough house with them and make all sorts of strange noises, and one of my dogs is a beagle, so he’s just as noisy.

I enjoy many types of food, except I am allergic to eggs which does slightly limit my choices on what I can eat. One of my favorite foods though is a rare prime-rib with au-jus and horse-radish/sour cream sauce. I also really enjoy stir-fry and sushi. Then, there’s always crawfish. When those are in season and good, it’ on for chowing down. Along the same lines, when it comes to drinks, I prefer Shiner Bock or anything Crown Royal related. I am especially fond of their new maple as well. It’s quite yummy.

Being social is one of my favorite things. I enjoy talking with many different types of people and even learning about various cultures. This is probably one of the reasons I enjoy karaoke so much. It gives me a way to really meet and talk to a whole variety of people.

Then, along the lines of music, I like pretty much all types of music. My two favorite bands are Metallica and Blue October. This may sound like a strange combination, but I tend to relate to things in various ways depending on my mood.

I do stay busy a lot, so when I do have some time to relax, I try to take advantage of it as much as possible. This generally includes watching movies or playing on the computer.

So, there are some random things. I don’t know if anyone really follows this, but if there is someone out there, feel free to comment with anything else you might want to know.

Here’s an update to my moving up in the world.

The house offer was accepted, and things are progressing quickly with this. I am even currently set to close on April 5th. It does appear that parts of the inspection were not great. However, my realtor and I are working to add an addendum to the sale to get a new roof and water heater. This should take care of the two primary concerns.

The second part of my update comes from a new promotion at work. I am now an official supervisor (no longer just a shift lead) for the Security department. I am very excited about the formal title as well as the nice raise that came with it. Of course, I’m still doing the same thing I was before which does have something to do with the promotion. As I was told by my supervisor and one of the other supervisors in the department I am already doing the work, so I might as well have the title.

In other work, another audio gig has been added for my company. However, this is for an open mic night. Although we are set up to run such an event, this is a new type of event for us. However, it seems to be slowly picking up and looking better.

Things are definitely going good and all falling into place, and I keep looking for things to get even better.
