Observed installation of new water-heater. Drive-out price for parts & labor = $694, courtesy of gringo cheapness and bilingual marital ingenuity.

Afterwards, mowed lawn (actually, dead leaves).

Remembered to take pre-job aspirin, thus averting major lower-back spazzing of last time.

Procured 4 mosquito bites.

Narrowly averted mass attack by enraged hormigas del fuego. Nuked hormigas with Amdro, ciao man.

Lawn now looks like golf course, fore man.

Post-job, blew nose thoroughly; snot contents included macro- and microscopic shards of leaves.

Ate most of chocolate ice cream before Mrs. T-B. found out, burp man.

The BF is playing the WoWs. We are both drinking seltzer and burping.

Earlier we wandered around Barnes & Noble at the Americana mall and bought nothing.

I have one present left to buy, and one beret and one hat to finish knitting in the next two weeks.

I technically met my husband on WoW but I find that embarrassing.

I haven't bought a present for my sister and it's driving me nuts :angry:

My fiance and I originally met on The Sims Online - so don't be embarrassed. We also did play WoW together but now we both have jobs and are always too tired to devote hours to such things.

It's my department Christmas luncheon today. This could either be boring or exciting, we shall see.

Wait like the original sims 1 online? :lol:

I couldn't get into that one. I had it, but w/o being able to cheat all of the time, I got frustrated.

Anyone have any suggestions for a decent keyboard?

This is what I'm using right now:

300px-Logitech_G15v2.png

I adopted it from my husband but it's years old now and it's really quite gross.

I think it's time for something new, but I don't want it to be a cheap stupid keyboard and I don't want it to cost me a bunch either.

I just got the washable keyboard by Logitech. I was pretty excited because it was on sale on Amazon for 20 bucks and in Canada it's around 60 bucks. I had to get it shipped to my fiance though, I plan on using it when I move there. I dunno about you, but I hate having crumbs in my keyboard. http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Washable-Keyboard-K310-Windows/dp/B008D1JRIO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355249265&sr=8-1&keywords=washable+keyboard

Oh I like that it looks nice!

There's more than just crumbs in this keyboard.

It's disgusting.

I'm talking sunflower seeds and shells, toe nails, finger nails, hair (human, cat and dog) and other strange things which i'm unable to identify.
