Wedding Invitations

Today we ordered our Wedding invitations and RSVP cards. We created our own wedding invitations with apple.com and I think they turned out pretty nice. When we put in the order we requested 100 cards and an hour later I realized that we plan on having 100 guests but most were couples and we only need one card per household. I figured we screwed up ($$$) and there wasn't much we could do since we already placed the order.. but I was reading the confirmation email and it stated that we had 90 minutes to cancel the order so we quickly did so and placed the order again and as we were sending the second order I asked Harry if we double checked all the spelling as we know what it should say so you tend to just read over mistakes and sure enough there was a typo that Harry caught. So guess what we had to cancel that order only a few minutes after we sent it. So we tripled checked the spelling and quantity and sent the order in once again. Everything looked to be good so this order should be perfect.

As for RSVP cards we found a customizable order on Ebay for 100 cards (that is why we initially ordered 100 wedding cards). So for about $175 we manage to finally get our Wedding invitations and RSVP cards created. Now we just have to get them, address them and mail them out before May 2nd (which will be three months before.) Where does the time fly.

Last Day at Big Medicine

After nine months of work.. a pretty long run...today is my last day on the TLC show Big Medicine. There have been some ups and downs as with most shows but I feel like I did a pretty good job with this one. I have gained tons of confedense in myself which is always nice. I met alot of nice people and some not so nice. :) but all in all a great experience. Now it's time to move up to bigger and better... NBC here I come.

Doctor's Visit

Just got back from my third doctors visit in the last month. This was just a follow up to my previous visit. I have to thank Bruce for introducing me to Dr. Mills. He's a very sweet and caring doctor. When I had to choose a doctor I knew I wanted someone who was gay, even though Dr. Mills is in West Hollywood he will well worth the drive... thanks Bruce.

Anyway everything went well. My EKG was normal, my cholesterol is too high 238 (200 is max), but this was expected. He's giving me two months to get my weight and cholesterol down. So all in all a good visit.. now I just need to workout and eat better. :)

Missing TV Night

For a second week in a row I got stuck working later then expected and missing TV night. Every Thursday I try my best to get home in time for TV night and enjoy the company of friends and good sci fi but tonight wasn't going to happen. I was asked to help out another show that the current company that I am working for is doing. I am proud that I did what they asked as I had never done it before and manage to figure it out in a timely manner but I was upset that I didn't get home till a little after 9 and only got to spend about 15 minutes with my friends... oh well this is the last week on this job.. hopefully I can get away on Thursdays for future TV nights.

Cleaning out the Garage

Today I was finally able to clean and organize the Garage. I have been wanting to do this since we moved in back in October. Well I took off a day of work and figured I would put this day off to good use. With the help of Harry we worked on the garage all day only taking a break for lunch. By the end of the day it looks AWESOME. We also manage to clean out and throw away a few things. It's now organized so when I have more free time I can go through the boxes and thin out some of my things (ie toys, magazine, VHS tapes.)

It feels great getting a big project completed.

Backing Up The Computer

Today Harry and I went to the Apple store because Harry wanted to buy a 1 terrabyte hard drive. He got an Apple card for Xmas and with his Birthday money he managed to only spend around 8 bucks of his own money. So he got is new external hard drive and I got his old 500 gigibyte hard drive.

So I spent today backing up my entire computer. I know it's going ot die, it's just a matter of time and I wanted to make sure I have everything backed up. It took over 14 hours to back up my computer... I have about 350 gigibytes of stuff. So now if my computer crashed, I won't lose much of the info.

More Computer Woes

I just have not luck with Computers (PC). Today I got home and Harry informed me that one of my Hard Drives is saying it has errors. I have a dual RAID hard drive system. So if one goes out they both are gone. The first time this happened, about three years ago, I lost four months worth of stuff because I didn't back up all the time. The second time it happened, about a year ago, the computer didn't die instantly it's slowly died and I was able to save everything. So when it happened again today I paniced since I haven't backed up in a month or so. But like the second time the computer is still working but still says it has errors so that means the drives can go at anytime. It's upsetting because the drives is less then a year old. I'm hoping it's not the drive and just some bad files or data on the drive that's causing the error but I won't know until it completely crashed and we have to re-build my computer for the third time in the past three years.

Visiting Family

Today we had lunch with my Dad out in Corona, we visit him every other week. For lunch we went to one of the best Chinese foods in town Hong Kong Restaurant.

After visiting Dad we drove to Newport Beach to have dinner with Mom and Chuck. They wanted to take Harry out for his birthday. Of course Harry choose Outback Steak house which was great since everyone loves it. We had a nice dinner.

It's great seeing everyone but all the driving is very tiring. We were happy to get home and relax the rest of the evening.
