Belated Birthday

I took a peek at the archives this morning wondering when this week I would be putting up a post for the one year anniversary of MiA, only to find out I'm a week late. Last Monday was the happy birthday. Soooo...

Happy Birthday! +7 days...

It certainly has been a bumpy year. Going from the extremes of being worked to death to not working at all certainly has been memorable. Reading over some of the archives I realize that I've done a lot of dumb things this last year, but really, haven't we all?

There hasn't been much going on here lately other than going to my brother's house in Madison to help fix it up, and moving my stuff around in my own house. My old roommate is leaving, and before the new one moves in, I'm switching to the master bedroom. I need it since my bed is so damn huge. I'll remember to post it one of these days...

My brother's house needs so much work still, but it'll be liveable despite all the damage that the previous tenants did, and the owner did not disclose. There's a law that my brother can get the previous owner to pay for repairs on damage that wasn't disclosed, right? I keep telling him he needs to check on it since there is significant damage to the house, but I think he's too depressed to do anything about it. He expected to do minor repairs on this house, but also thought that he'd be able to move in to the house within a week after closing. Instead, he's still fixing the house 3 weeks later. I'll probably will be going back to Madison to help more later this week. Hopefully we'll be moving his stuff in then, too.

Today I'm shopping for dress shoes and going to get the suit. Hopefully I'll have a picture to post soon. I'm planning to visit the Men's Warehouse here in town so they can help guide me through any fashion mistakes I might make. The only thing I'm set on right now is that I want a dark grey or black suit. I've never thought dark blue suits look professional. Just my preferences.

Anyway, I'm heading back to the archives to ponder my favorite moments. Have any yourself?
