TV Hosed

So, it looks like my TV is temporarily hosed, the red channel on my projection is out of phase and it looks like I'd need a pair of 3D glasses to see anything properly.

I hope that my warranty through Best Buy is worth the $300.00 that I spent on it. :(

Anniversary Weekend (con't)

Saturday afternoon, we went to lunch at Bill Gray's and ran into Bob's Mom, Sister Sandy and her Husband Rick. After that, she and I went out to the reservation so that I could get gas and enjoy the La Gloria Cubana Serie R 2005 edition. (Damn, what a great cigar.)

Since the cigar was much bigger than I expected, we decided to go to Sunset Bay and look at the water.

Unfortunately, it was too cold and windy to get out of the car, but the view was great.


It was a year ago today that Bob and Lisa, Michele and Bryan met Kim and I at Banana Peppers in Tonawanda so that we could go on our second date. (The first was at Starbucks, we were so nervous about being with everyone that we wanted to sit and relax and talk first.)

And if it wasn't for Lisa and Michele both convincing Kim that I was the greatest guy ever (I am pretty great after all). And Bob telling me to go for it, this past year would have been really different. (I owe you guys, big time...)

After the reservation, we went to back to Kim's house because the Red Lobster that I reheated at the hotel started to affect me.

Sunday we went to Church and then had a nice lunch with Bob and Lisa and Michele at Olive Garden. The lunch was okay, Kim liked her Chicken Alfredo pizza, too bad the regular Chicken Alfredo wasn't that great.

After lunch, we went back to the reservation with Kim's car and then to her brother's house for a great dinner of chicken on the grill, corn and other good stuff.

Happy Anniversary Kim

Kim and I have been officially going out for a year. (Who woulda thought that she could put up with me for a whole year.)

Let's see how do I describe our great weekend.

First, I surprised Kim (and her parents) with two bunches of tulips on her doorstep. I was so stealthy ninja-like that I didn't wake anyone.

Then, Kim surprised me by sending me a Sabres mug with Chocolate Cook-ays and Balloons at work which was sweet.

I was planning on leaving work early that day, but since I didn't know about my special delivery, she cooked up a plan with Bob to keep me at work. I never would have thought that between Kim and Bob they wanted to keep me AT WORK. I almost wish that I had been able to try to leave early to see how Bob would have reacted to it.

Next, I stopped by Party City and picked up an order of balloons that I had placed on Thursday. (Come on, like NOBODY figured out I would have done something crazy like that.)


I picked up Kim at her house and she gave my present. She made me a scrapbook from the past year which was incredible.

I loved it, thanks again Kim.

She had help with printing the pictures for the scrapbook from Bryan and Michele (thanks guys). Apparently, Bob and Lisa were also aware of the scrapbook and managed to keep it a secret from me.

After stopping at the hotel to show Kim and I was dying the present I made for her. I made Kim an Anniversary DVD. I booked a room at the Ramada Inn which was much nicer than some of the other rooms that we've stayed in.

We went to Red Lobster for a nice dinner. Kim had the Steak and Lobster and I had a Fish Fry that the next day just punished me.

After dinner, we went back to the hotel, and we'll just leave it at that...
