Plug-ins are fun

// September 11th, 2009 // No Comments » // Uncategorized

Now that I’ve found out what the problem is with the remnants from the old template (too many active widgets), I’m having fun searching for and adding new plug-ins to the page. Now maybe I should write something profound… nah!

Here come the Hawks…

I have to give it John John McDonough and Rocky Wertz. The Hawks are fun again!

Old man Wetrz, nearly killed the team by driving away even the most loyal fan. The younger Wertz is doing a wonderful job to reverse that. Imagine: people actually watch hockey when you can actually see the games on TV, something Bill never seemed to understand.

The team is competitive, young and a heck of a lot of fun to watch. With a little more consistency, they may actually be a competitor in the playoffs. Only time will tell.

Movin’ on Up

Meg has been in the process of interviewing with a number of firms in advance of our move and yesterday, something finally paid off. Meg has accepted a position at a bank in Arlington Heights. She will be working for the temp agency from where she received the offer for the first three months and then would be brought on by the bank after that. She spent most of the day worrying in anticipation over the position and finally received word late yesterday afternoon. She starts 2 weeks from Monday and couldn’t be happier with her decision.

Congratulations babe!

Congrats to my lovely wife

Meg completed her first 5K run this morning with a time of 39 minutes. Her first event? The 3rd annual Race to Wrigley!

Would you expect anything less from my Cubbie Girl?

The time has come

// April 13th, 2008 // No Comments » // Uncategorized

The time has come for Meg and I to bid our humble abode in Naperville adieu. After almost three years at our current residence, it’s time to move on and find a place closer to where I work. The commute I have to make daily has taken it’s toll on me and my vehicle and with gas already approaching $3.50 a gallon, the price of the commute is getting quite ridiculous.

As of last week, we’ve started looking to move to the northwestern suburbs and have actually found a couple of places that we really like. However, we’re still waiting on the results of a second interview at a bank in Arlington Heights that Meg interviewed at on Saturday. Once we know what’s happening there, it should help us focus our housing search even more.

More details to come…

Update: We moved over Memorial Day weekend to our new abode in Schaumburg and couldn’t be happier! The commute is great and we’re both close to our jobs. Who could ask for more?
