Back in Business

Apparently Blogger's stay in corporate purgatory is over (at least for now). I am able to see comments on other blogs, and post my own from work. I am not saying that posts will be made all that frequently, but at least I can get to work on them again.

A couple of catch up items...

This weekend we had some time sans kids, so took in the new batman flick The Dark Night. Was a bit long for me...but I thought it was great overall. I always liked the batman movies and story...probably my favorite of the superheros, and this movie did not disappoint. Has me pumped up for the next one.

The hotel we stayed at had a basketball net at the pool, and not just a flimsy one, but a true backboard and everything. Was about 8 feet tall...so yep, it was dunkapalooza 2008. Thankfully no one else was around so I didn't feel like a complete dork.

One thing that the better half wanted to do was drive over to dallas for some shopping and to go to this cupcake place called Sprinkles. Let me just say...overrated. That is the nicest way I could put it. For some reason this place was full of people and we all were ordering $3.50 cupcakes. You would think that a place this fancy could tell the difference between a carrot cake cupcake (which I ordered) and a lemon one (which I was given). Very disappointing. Won't be heading back.

In other news, the better half celebrates a birthday this week. So gearing up for a nice night out with the fam at Uncle Julio's and a cake from bluebonnet bakery.

I have been trying to come up with a good birthday present ideas for 15 years now. There have been a number of misses, and a few hits along the way. But at least they have been good enough to have her stick around!
