Tis' Tuesday
It's been reported that the average readership of most blogs is a grand total of ONE! So, you write your blog, then you read it. Count equals ONE. Awesome.
I've just been introduced to a new blog. Yes, I read strangers blogs. I bookmark them and often go back to be updated if I find what they write to be of interest. The blog that I have recently been introduced to is written by a guy named Matt Dentler. He is a producer for the conference and festival, FILM portion of South By Southwest here in Austin. His blog is pretty interesting..he writes of SXSW (obviously), music, travel, cool stuff, events in Austin and other random things.
I have a tracker/counter at the bottom of my page so that I can see tables and graphs of my frequent and not so frequent readers-when they log in, how long they stay and where they are located, etc. It's pretty much pointless information because I don't care who reads my blog. But at the time that I set this up, I signed up for it also.
So, if you came here to actually read about me and what's going on in my life...I wish I had more to say. I'm still looking for a job, Brooklyn is doing great, Justin is just fine and everything seems to be alright else wise, too. We are going to New York the day after tomorrow. I've been checking the weather and I don't think we're going to see any snow while we're there, but at least it will be cold-ish (50s) while we are checking out the holiday sights. I LOVE this festive season and what better place to see it all than NEW YORK CITY! and I am going to make Justin ice skate with me! Photos will definitely be taken and posted.
Thanks to my wonderful friend, Abbey, we will not have to board Brooklyn. Abbey is going to puppy sit for us while we are away. Thanks, Abbey!
After we return from New York, we will have about a week here in Austin to finish up the rest of our Christmas shopping and then we are headed to Houston for family Christmas time. Hard to believe it's really this time of year. Hard to believe it's going to be 2007, as well. Speaking of...we are unsure of our plans for celebrating New Year's Eve, but something will get planned here soon. Shannon, Lara and Brett are going to be in town and probably a few others. Going out is definitely on the agenda, but the place is to be determined.
I can't believe I forgot to mention that we did buy a house. I guess that because everyone I know already knows, I just didn't feel like it was news. Justin blogged about it already, too. So in my mind, this is already old news. Regardless, we are very excited...still! It's a three bedroom, two bath one story in South Austin. We found a realtor, who surprisingly without knowing first, has turned out to be quite nice and helpful. We weren't even planning on "building," we had come to the conclusion a few days prior that we would look for an existing home in our budget because building just seemed out of our price range. BUT once we met with our realtor, he informed us that he could show us some developments in our desired area where we could afford a new home. Long story, short, he did show us a development we hadn't seen yet (it's kind of hidden) called Bauerle Ranch. We were presented with several floorplans and we decided on the one we liked. Then we found a spec home with that floorplan, with the exact exterior that we wanted, a great location in the neighborhood and a perfect finishing date (tentatively March 1st). So while we weren't expecting for this all to happen so soon, the house and the price just seemed too good to pass on. I've already posted some pictures on Flickr. I'll update more as the house progresses.
That's it for now. Nitey Nite.
