Baby Broke Now

You have probably all seen these commercials with the talking Stock Broker Baby.

So Jennifer is walking by the television and casually says, "Baby Broke Now!"

At which point we both spent the next two minutes laughing. I, being the evil person I am, wait until she's about to get back up and say "Baby Broke Now!" again just as she's standing up so we both laugh for another minute.

Weekend

We had a pretty low key weekend. We saw Torchwood Season 2 at home as well as Dr. Who. We watched a few shows but generally relaxed. Did a few chores etc.

Jennifer has been working like mad on a sleep pad for work so she can take 'nap breaks' which helps make the narcolepsy more palatable. She has also recently completed a rather cool coat and scarf.

The Happenings

Well, our yard sign was stolen. We filed a police report about it, but I don't expect to see much more than that. We've got a back up but tomorrow we're going to Home Depot and buying enough material for 10-20 signs.

Tomorrow is my final for my 8th class out of 12. If all goes well I graduate in May. It is not immediately apparent if I'll be able to use my Masters to get more money at this point, since new careers of any kind are likely to be on hold for...a while, but things are going moderately well at my current job so that's OK. Still, I need to pass an exam called the PMP, which is like the bar for lawyers or certification for Accountants. It's basically one you need to pass if you're going to work in that field. I plan to start studying in November and hopefully take it in March.

We plan to start trying for children in about two weeks. Right now I'm driving Jennifer to the MARTA station for work every day and picking her up on the way home. We've been doing it for 6 weeks or so and it seems to be working well.

Played Axis and Allies with some friends on Wednesday. It was the new version, much more balanced. I (and my partner) got Crushed. Jennifer and the other two wives present played Settlers of Catan and had a much nicer time.

We saw "City of Ember" last week. We had a free movie ticket from their frequent pass thing. It is pretty good, but probably better for DVD. We liked it though. We saw "Burn After Reading" the week before that. Not exactly family friendly that one.

Short synopsis

Good thing I kept a vacation day. Between Ireland and the Family reunion, I was just about out of them. However, I think my sister's wedding is a cause well spent. Even if I don't get the day off I'll do the overnight drive thing. It will be nice to be able to go to it.

We got rid of a futon to a friend of Jennifer's. It had been supposed to leave our house in June. But she had trouble getting a place. We took it to her house at the same time (per her request) she was having her Open House party. She (Jennifer's friend) got a few of the party goers to help bring said futon up the stairs.
