Yesterday was exactly one year since we closed on our house. I can’t believe a whole year has gone by since we moved in. I guess time flies when you’re in your twenties. Or thirties. Which makes now as good a time as any to look back at the 9 most significant moments during our first year in our new home.
9. Ruben throwing up the night before Thanksgiving. Ruben is one of my best friends and never throws up so when he does decide to toss his cookies, ya know ya done good. At least he apologized the next morning. That was nice of him.
8. Cranking the volume on my dance club music higher every time the metal heads requested something with guitars in it on New Year’s Eve. A remixed club version of Lynyrd Skynyrd never sounded so good. Especially with Nelly rapping over the bass line. That'll teach them to complain about the music.
7. My pseudo throw down with the autistic boy around the corner. He’s lucky I only gave him a verbal smackdown. I about had to go all Lebowski on his arse.
6. Hanging out at my own bar doing nothing. Doing nothing has always been a focal point in my life. Being able to do it at my own bar is the proverbial icing on the cake.
5. Telling the autistic boy’s mother how I really felt about her. I can’t help it. Sometimes the truth hurts.
4. Getting a wireless network set up in my house and having absolutely no idea how I did it. I can now surf porn (Just kidding, mom and dad) anywhere within a 150 ft. radius of the router. I love technology!
3. Not realizing how intensely kitchen cabinets and counters burn until it was almost too late. The draft created from the fire was tossing tree limbs around 20 ft off the ground. I figured we might be in trouble when Shawn, looking whiter than the white bred boy he already is, asked how long our garden hose was and actually put down his drink.
2. Putting up all the Christmas lights in our yard (our driveway looked like a runway for a plane) only to realize I was living next door to Clark Griswold’s cousin. He had a real runway for Santa and his reindeer. It’s on now. Next year, I’m going all LCD!
1. Finally getting Nicole pregnant after trying for over three years. Just kidding. Maybe next year!
