Well, today was a relatively eventful day. Got the lease signed for the new house; got the new leases signed for the expansion of the store. Took the Cruiser into the shop for its 30k tune up and a few issues it has been having. Got some things faxed off in regards to...

The end of another weekend, albiet a good one. Saturday was fun, Sunday was fun and work. We had to run to Harbor Freight, in Everett, to pick up some things that Janene needed for her ArtFest conference coming up, and we ended up in another art supply store that was...

Wow. That is one cool house we're gonna live in. We got to see it in the day today from the inside, and holy cow - it's nice. Well, right now it's absolutely filthy, so the landlord definitely has some cleaning to do before we can move in. But it will BE nice, once...

As much as I love to write, sometimes I just feel all dried up. Which is really quite silly since there's so much going on in life at the moment that I can't even think straight. But it is how it is, I suppose.Yesterday was fun (although I didn't blog); we ended up...

The City of Snohomish, Washington. Joel Wetzel Quote: "Dude, you and Janene need to live in Snohomish. It's a Chris and Janene kinda town." Funny that. It might just turn out to be a mildly prophetic statement. Since our initial housing deal fell through a few days...

What a Sunday! Slept in a little, got a call from my parents to go out to breakfast at The Cabbage Patch in Snohomish. That was a great meal, and a lot of fun. Then Janene and I drove around Snohomish again looking for potential rental houses. And out of the blue we...

Well, the rental officially fell through. Basically, there were two landlords involved who pretty much didn't communicate at all. In order for us to rent this space, we needed both the main floor (living space) and the basement (currently unused, and a disaster area -...

It's a beautiful, sunny day out. It's also freakin' freezing. But that's ok, as the customers don't seem to mind.It's funny how life views change as life circumstances evolve. For example, it wasn't that long ago that my love of the rain didn't interfere with my...
