Another Monday - count down to vacation (starting May 27).
This weekend was full of activities. I worked yesterday (Sunday) and had Friday/Saturday off.
Friday, we met with our new financial planner. The meeting went well, but right now, because of all of the paperwork, takes a lot of time. Dan had to take me to pick up the Jeep - it had a bolt in the front driver's side tire. Then he was off to work. I played on the computer the rest of the night - transferring tapes to computer. I'm having a lot of fun with that. I've forgotten all the old songs I used to listen to.
Saturday, we went to Broadlands Town Center grand opening - it's shopping center that is about half done that's about 5 miles from our house. Eventually, there will be a 16 theater cinema - that will be cool. Had lunch at California Tortilla where Dan had an admirer. This girl came up to us while we were eating to see how everything was. Then Dan said - how come we were the only ones she asked? Then he continues to say when he was picking up the food, she was like in the back and made sure that she said "enjoy your food" to him. I'm like - aawww - she things you look like Bo Bice! LOL! Back home, it was lawn duty for Dan and watching hockey the rest of the day.
Sunday was work and then home to watch hockey until 8 pm when Amazing Race comes on.
We heard on the radio that Rick Springfield will be coming to Baltimore - on June 1 - when we are planning on going to Atlantic City - IT FIGURES!
(and their human parents)
This blog started as The adventures of a D.I.N.K. family where the two "kids" are four legged and how we are going to retire early. Now it's a 1 income, 1 entrepreneur, and 1 pup getting closer and closer to retirement.

Wow - I just realized it's been about 2 weeks since I've posted. Not too much has been going on.
Work is the same. Hockey is on EVERY SINGLE DAY! We are loving it! Islanders are out of the playoffs, but Zed came back for a few games. Supposedly, his mom was sick and he went home (Slovakia) to be with her. Not sure who I'm rooting for now. Maybe Buffalo, just because Zubrus is on the team (former Cap). Maybe Dallas, because Halpren (former Cap & local boy) is on the team.
Last weekend, I started transferring my cassette tapes to computer. It's going to be a long process, but I'm so enjoying listening to the old tapes again! I have so many local band tapes - you can't get them on CD!
Dan and I have both been suffering from allergies for about the last 2 weeks - sucks. It's probably time for me to go to a specialist.
I've been busy with selling stuff on Amazon.com - I'm getting a $70 deposit this week! WOOHOO! I still have my half.com account, but I've been selling stuff on Amazon much faster. It does cost a little bit more in commission than half.com, but it's worth it. I like both of these sites since you don't pay a commission or fee unless you sell. I've also started posting on Craigslist.org.
Dan and I have started looking for a new pet - a dog. I'm not sure what kind or exactly when, but we'll know when we're ready. We went to an open house at Leesburg Canine Country Club. They had food, music and vendors along with rescues. It was fun and not that far from our house. It was fun to see all the different types of dogs. We won t-shirts in the raffle too!

Once again, I had a random act of kindness performed with me - at the same grocery store, in the same parking lot!
I put all of my groceries in the car and turned to take the cart to the corral and another customer had just put his cart in the corral and was turning to come back past me to go to his truck. He opened up his arms ready for a pass, so I pushed the cart to him.
It's amazing how just the little things that people do for you can really make you smile.

Yesterday was the last game of the season (and year) for the Caps. Unfortunately, the arena was FULL of Buffalo fans and all you could hear was "LET'S GO BUFFALO".
The good news - I WON A HOCKEY STICK - signed by Brian Sutherby! WOOHOO! It was fan appreciation day and they ALWAYS give away stuff - we always thought it was for season ticket holders though. It was SO funny - They play this sound before winning seats are announced/posted on the big screen. Dan had JUST said to me - we're not going to win anything - my response - WE JUST DID! I couldn't believe it! He didn't believe it either. Neither one of us saw exactly what we won - I thought it was a signed puck and I said to Dan that we'd have to get another puck display case before we left. Got to the table and found out it was a stick! We were kind of upset that they didn't throw stuff (T-shirts, etc) over the glass like in previous years, but hey, I got a stick!
