Harry's Birthday Party

Today we celebrated Harry's Birthday. We had a nice little get together at our house and BBQ. It's been an on going joke that Harry's love war.. I mentioned it at one of his birthday’s years ago and everyone always brings it up.. so for this party we decided to decorate the backyard with camouflage and war items. We went to a party story and bought army men, army plates, cups, table clothes, hats and even a blow up machine gun. Of course those who were in on the joke got it right away and others we had to explain it.

It was good food and great company and everyone seemed to have a good time. Right before everyone started to leave our good friends Tara and Jack showed up with their little girl Bella. We had expected them at the party but they missed the whole thing.

After everyone left we hung out with them for a while and caught up. It was really good seeing them as it had been over a year since we had seen them last. We decided that we would all go out to dinner and hang out a bit more. We went to Sizzler and had a nice dinner and conversation.

It was a long but fun day.

Computer Monitor is Dead

Today when I got home and entered the house and could smell burning plastic. I asked Harry what that smell was and he took me to our office and showed me my computer. The monitor picture was squeezed together and you can smell burnt plastic coming from it. Harry said he had heard a loud pop moments before and then the smell came. So my monitor is dead.

Harry's Birthday

Today is my special guys 37th birthday. We are the same age for the next six months :) I had to be in Online all day today but when I got home I took him out to his favorite Steak house, Outback Steak House. We have gone there for his birthday ever since he has been in the U.S.. We normally go with friends and family but this year we are having a BBQ get together this weekend at our house so this time it was just Harry and I. It was a very nice dinner. Kind of a quiet birthday but he likes it that way. Here's to many more dinners at Outback Steak House with my honey.

Love you

New Job

Well as some of you may know my current job will be ending in the next few weeks. I had an interview today with a former co-worker and a former company that I had worked with previously. It's for a new 10 episode Reality Game Show for NBC. They need a Post Super to start the Monday after my last Friday so it seems to work out great. I went in for the interview but it was more of a "here's is what we need to do" meeting. It seemed that the job was mine before I had even gotten there. The job sounded good and it lasted till mid September.

I didn't want to accept until I had a chance to go back to my old job and ask them if there was anything coming up. My current company has a lot of things happening just not soon enough and they couldn't match my pay rate, so I accepted the position at the new job. I start officially on April 14th but will be going in the week prior to work on starting up post.

I would have preferred to take some time off in between jobs as I really do need a break but when something like this comes along you can say no.. this will be my first Network show that I will be working on.. I'm very excited.

Another Doctor's Visit

Today I had an appointment with my Colon specialist, Dr. Madsen. This was the person that Doctor Mills referred me to for my hemorrhoid problem. I figure I would go in and she would do the examination and I would set up a time for surgery. Well we talked for a few minutes, and I have to say she was very sweet and kind, which was very nice and she informed me that it could be a number of things and she would know more once she examined me. Well the next thing I knew I had my pants down around my ankle and I was lying on my side exposing my butt to this complete stranger. I won't go into super details so let's just say she inserted a probe and took a look around. She did find several hemorrhoids and to my surprise she said she was going to inject medicine directly into them and sure enough I could feel the medicine being injected in.. it was very discomforting to say the least... after she infected three times she told me she was done and to come back in two months.. I asked her if that's it and she said yes.. that in a few days I'll feel great and everything should be fine. I guess I don't need surgery, at least not at this time.
