Hey!!!!  Hello??  Is anyone there?  Well, I figure no one will read this seeing as I haven't blogged in about 8 months so I'll make it quick and sweet.  Jill and I are going to Lexington this weekend for her family's christmas.  I know you aren't supposed to enjoy your in-laws but they are a pretty enjoyable bunch.  Now.. if they would just move closer that would make it a lot easier.  I hate driving long distances!!!!!!  ( I know, I'm whining about a five hour trip when lori and Trevor just got back from a 20 hour one, but hey... this is my blog and I'm going to whine about whatever I want to)

Another thing hard about leaving is not know the condition our house will be in when we get home.  Our cat Yzerman has a history of thowing the wildest parties in the neighborhood (okay, maybe thats just what appears to have happened), so it will be interesting to see if our christmas tree survives the weekend.  If not... Mark are you still on for that game of catball?  Anyways, I hope everyone has a great weekend!  I'm going to go try to get my driving game face on.

GUESS WHO'S BACK!!!!  Okay, well.... yeah, I guess there is no excuse for me taking this long to post a Xanga.  Sorry all.  I just want to make sure everyone knows that the hot tub is up and ready to go and swimsuits are definitely desired/required during the next visit you make to the Erford household!!!!  It is drained, waxed, conditioned, filled, balanced, heated, and last but not least... hot glued!!!! 

Well, I must say it is good to be back.  I've missed the Xanga thing but it's hard to sit down at the computer when I know I could be sitting in front of it for 1+ hours.  There's just so much to do!!!  Tonight, however, it is a little chilly out so I decided to stay in and hang out with.... well, myself ....   seeing as my lovely wife is working.... (boooo work)  It stinks the nights when I get home from work and she is just leaving.  Well, I'm going to go catch up on some comments!!  Later.

Okay, let me observe that there is plenty of doubt in my energy producing idea involving Jill and a treadmill.  I also notice plenty of interest therefore I will share new state of the art technology that will get my wife sprinting faster than cheetah.  You see, you take a stick, a string and a brownie and you rig the brownie approximately 3 feet in front of the treadmill.... just out of arms reach!  She'll generate more power than the Hoover Dam..... and let me tell you, that's a lot of dam power!!!! 

Okay, I'll try to keep this G from now on.....  thank you Mark and all those who are supporting my light bulb addiction.  It is a difficult phase of life to be going through especially at such a young age.  My dad is currently going through the same phase and he is nearly 52!!  I will be well stocked for Y2K6 however!! 

It was great having Lori, Trevor, and Emma over tonight.  We had a great time playing Mexican train dominoes and eating burnt bratwurst!  We are also very thankful Emma did decide to paint our kitchen floor with the same material she painted the Lichtle's with

Well, my wife is ordering me to go to bed so I better do what I'm told! ...........................    HAHAHAHA, you all thought I was whipped didn't you!!!!....... okay I am, LATER!!

Okay so I slacked off on my weblog yesterday.  I'M SORRY LORI!!!!!!!   The pressure I'm under at work is far lower than the pressure I'm under now to post my latest weblog!!  I promise I will try harder to make entries as often as possible.....(or at least more often then Kristen!!!!)  By the way I need to thank Mark and Kristen for last night.  Kristen thanks for being understanding about sacrificing your husband till the late hours of the night.  Mark thank you for solving my networking problems for me so late at night...... I hope you didn't get in trouble for being out to late!! 

I have to agree with Ben.... how many light bulbs does one house require???  I think I've spent more on light bulbs the past few months than on our electric bill!  I seriously replaced four bulbs Sunday and I still didn't get them all!!!  I'm about to design a treadmill that Jill has to run on from 8-10AM to generate power for the house....(If anyone would like to invest in a Jill powered electricity let me know your interest to determine how much time I'll look into this).  Anyways, Jilll will save us enough money our bill to eliminate the costs we spend on bulbs!  I thought it was a good idea....

Thanks for your support though Mandy... It's always nice to know that someone else is spending thousands of dollars a month on light bulbs  even if their husbands are jealous to the point of mocking me for my addiction to the purchase of Sylvania bulbs from Menards!

Okay, I have decided to come out of the Xanga closet and bravely make my first entry.   I just want to spend this first moment to tell Kristen how cool this is and how much better it is to be out of the closet rather than inside... confused about your own feelings and wondering if anyone else feels the same way as you.   

Anyways, from what I understand I'm supposed to say something about my day and then someone should get back on and make fun about my day.  Well, let me tell you, I made a trip to Jill and I's favorite store today (menards) to buy a couple of light bulbs and some insecticide for our ant problem.  (For anyone who doesn't know our house is infested by ants).  The average person may have escaped spending like $10-15... however, I spent $40 on crapgrass preventer and a few other items. 

Anyways, the insecticide instructed me to spray around the foundation inside and outside the house.  So I went in our crawlspace to look for ants and began to spray around the foundation.  However, the jug began to leak and I got it all over my hands....... I then decided to read the first aid warning which said if you get on skin rinse for 10-20 minutes and then call some poison hotline.  Wellllll, I just rinsed my hands for a couple of minutes so I'm still waiting on my hands to fall off.  Meanwhile, ants are still swarming throughout the house so if ANYONE HAS SUGGESTIONS, Jill and I would love to hear them.

Well, it was great to see everyone tonight at PanTasia.  I was a little skeptical going in but it ended up to be pretty interesting.  Anyways, I better get to bed so I can be a productive employee tomorrow.  Take it easy.
