I am a god

I'm not THE God. At least I don't think.

So there I was... in the 1st floor kitchen, looking to buy a Snicker's bar. My floor, the 3rd floor, was out. The 2nd floor would only accept correct change. Thus I end up in the 1st floor kitchen.

The Snicker's in the machine cost 80 cents. I put in 4 quarters and press '1' '4' '6' to dispense a Snicker's bar. And pop! One comes out. I think to myself, "wouldn't it be cool if ANOTHER one came out?" knowing that the vending machines here will spit out another item if it senses that nothing fell to you. Well, keep in mind the first bar fell just fine. I hear 2 clinks... my change. Then POP! Another one comes out! Clink! MORE change!

I got 2 Snicker's bars and 55 cents change. Things like this don't just happen. This is miraculous.

Could one of the Snicker's have a visage of the Virgin Mary on it? We shall find out.

Baby Samantha's 32 week report

Samantha had her 32 week ultrasound yesterday, and passed with flying colors. Chris isn't taking the protein-enhanced shakes anymore, so baby appears to be growing just fine on her own. I expect things growth wise to be smooth sailing from here on out. Unfortunately, Chris is starting to get very uncomfortable. She's used to being able to do things like bend over, and I think she didn't miss having cramps. They're not bad, but they're there now. We thought they were Braxton-Hicks, but the doctor says no. However, the doctor also isn't concerned that she's having the cramps because they're not consistent.

We've made progress on the house :)

In the last week, here's some what we (well, mostly Chris) have done:

• Primed and painted the nursery
• Cleaned out the cupboards
• Carpets cleaned
• Rotted siding replaced
• Furnace filter changed
• Furnace serviced
• Bought a new sink and faucet

Geekin' out

I was a GM at a Dungeons and Dragons Game Day event on March 21st. Little did I know I would become famous...

Check me out! Look at that head of hair. You can see a hot babe sitting to my left, mostly blocked by the guy in the yellow shirt. That's Chris.

And for you, a signed picture of myself

I love politicians making buffoons of themselves. Check out http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/toby_harnden/blog/2009/04/01/barack_obamas_gift_for_the_queen_an_ipod_your_majesty.

So so far we've given England

• DVDs that don't play in their DVD players.
• An iPod.

And we got

• A SIGNED PICTURE of the queen and her husband. WOW!

What do we pay these people for again?
