Debbie's side business

For those of out there who are getting married, or having a birthday, engagement or any type of holiday party, and are looking to have personalized items, such as save the date cards, invitations, centerpieces, seating cards that are not just a piece of cardboard folded in half with names on them. Debbie is the person you need to see.

She made the seating cards, which actually were seating coasters for our wedding, she made our Save the date cards, and if it was not her own wedding and she did not have a thousand other things to do, she would probably have made the invitations, centerpieces and everything else. She will put the same care into creating your items as she put into ours.

If you attended our wedding, you know what I am talking about, if you did not and have a need for her services, please comment here or email me directly at michael.gregov@gmail.com for more information.

Samples of the coasters or Save the date cards can be shown upon request.

Thank you all for your support and hope to hear from you.

So this past week was long and tiring. Not just on the work side but at home as well.
As many of you know Debbie is sick. She has chest congestion and a bad cough, and was prescribed three different medications. So I have been doing everything I can to make sure she rests and takes her meds. Between my dad, the people at work and her, I am lucky that I have not yet caught something. Let's hope it stays that way.

For those who don't already know, Debbie's brother Dave is engaged. So the Dave and Cheryl wedding express is in full swing. Today (Sunday) they took us with them to see a place called the Water's Edge, down in South Jersey. A very nice place with a view of the ocean. Depending on when they have wedding and weather permitting the ceremony might be on the beach. So that should be very nice.

They also took us with them to what was essentially, two miniature bridal expos. Where vendors can hock their services to the couples. Those things can be helpful, for anyone who is unsure of exactly what they want or who simply want to compare prices. Debbie and I went to one hosted by a company called "The Pros" who we eventually ended up using.

I am not sure who reads this, or even if anyone does, but I am posting this here in case anyone is looking for condo to rent. Dave's fiance Cheryl is looking to rent out her condo. It is located in Neptune City, NJ and is going for about $1,500 a month. For more details You can go to Craig's list or simply click on Dave or Cheryl's profile from my friend's list.

George W. Bush's last day. This has been a long time coming.
Today truly was a historic day, there is no doubt about it.

Congratulations President Obama, lets hope your legacy is better than Mr. Bush's.

That is all I have to say about that.

So last night we went down to South Jersey to have dinner with Dave, Cheryl, Christine and Manny. We went to this nice Italian place very close to Dave and Cheryl's places. It was a small little place but the food was rather good, and the atmosphere quaint. Overall it was a very nice night.

It is always fun to get together with family and friends.

Today, I think I am just going to hang around at home. It is colder that a witches tit outside, so I will be staying indoors as much as humanely possible. Thank you very much.

January 15, 2009

So today is shaping up to be the coldest day of the year so far, and the next few days don't look like they will get any warmer.

We finally got our office heater fixed, so we no longer need to depend on little portable heaters from Home Depot. Although I will be keeping them handy should the heater die again, which it has a tendency to do, I guess that is what happens with 25 year old equipment.

I am very excited, for tonight starts the barrage of new episodes for all my favorite TV shows. I hope I remember to clear out the DVR tonight when I go home, or I might miss some of shows I can't watch.

I do feel sorry for Debbie, who is forced to live with my incredible geekiness. The shows I plan to watch to watch or record tonight, are not the ones we watch together. I will usually watch those when she is at work or on Friday nights, when there is nothing else on.

I subject that poor woman to so much geekiness as it is, why make her suffer through shows that I know she will hate. For those who care, those shows are Supernatural, Smallville, Heroes and Lost. In some cases, Terminator, Knight Rider and when the new V miniseries comes out, that too.

So today Misty was taken to the vet, to have her cold treated.
Now I was not there, but I hear that they needed several vets to atempt to give her a shot.
Apparently she turns into Misty the killer tiger whenever she goes to the vet. Anyhow, she is fine and was given medicine.

So last night was the first poker night of the new year. This year I started off on a good note, winning for the first time in many, many months. Let's hope the trend continues.

Tonight Debbie and myself had dinner with Dave and Cheryl. Went to Teresa's in Westfield. A very nice place with great food. It was actually supposed to be dinner with their cousin Christine and her boyfriend Manny, but due to illness and a snow storm, that 8 inches of show really kept everyone home, they had to reschedule. Guess that will happen another time.

On a side note, Buca is sitting in the box behind me. Not playing mind you, just sitting.

Tonight was also the first time we went to Trader Joe's. I had heard about it, and have wanted to go there for a long time. They have $3 bottles of wine, you heard correctly, $3, how can you be that. Well OK maybe if it was $2, but that is just insane. I am usually not a fan of those hoity toity yuppie type places, but for the prices they sell stuff, I am willing to give it a shot.

My Wii code

OK this is for all my friends who have a Wii.

Get out the ark. It has been raining, literally all day here in NJ. Oh, am I dredding the commute home. Stupid morons sliding all over the place and hitting their brakes every 5 feet.

Speaking of NJ, our wonderful governor released his proposed budget for fiscal year 2009. Packed full of well, nothing. Basically he plans cut minor useless spending. Mostly in vague accounts like General purpose fund of some stupid crap like that. Our new slogan should be, "New Jersey, We will gladly fuck you up the ass, so bend over."

So, yesterday my office had a visit from one of our customers in France. He was telling me that in France they are looking forward to the end of the George W Bush era and the beginning of the Barack Obama term. I asked him how people in France reacted to his win this past November, and he told me, they were extremely happy, since the majority of French people do not like Mr. Bush. I have a feeling if the question was asked in other parts of the world you would get the same reaction.

Of course, we will see if they feel the same come January 2010, after Obama has been in office a while. It will be a tough job for him, since he inherits a crumbling economy, 2 wars and a country that is so divided you need binoculars to see from one side to the other. Only time will tell.
--
Tonight also begins the slow return of new episodes for some of my favorite TV Shows. Tonight we have Ghost Hunters, not the original but GH international. It is not the same thing but still it is new. And I have begun the Lost countdown. January 21, 2009...the wait is killing me. My DVR is all set and hopefully doesn't crap out on me. Until then I guess I will just have to continue playing more Wii.
--
Everyday I am getting more Wii Friends. Next up Debbie's cousins Christine and Dawn. Once they hook up their consoles and get them online that is.

I never realized how addicting that thing can be. I find myself wanting to play everyday, whether it be Wii Sports or Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

January 6, 2009

So I have come to the realization that no matter what I do I will always have to go to work. As much as I wish I didn't have to.

What I mean is that I wish someone would walk up to me and hand a briefcase full of money, and say to me, "here young man, take it, I don't need it anymore". Of course we all know that only happens in the movies, and it never ends well. But I digress, life is not that simple.
--
So anyway, we are supposed to be getting a nice winter storm coming tonight. Which means the morons who populate NJ roads roads will be out in droves tomorrow....joy. I guess I will just have to be extra careful on my commute in to work.
--
Right now, Buca is sitting on my lap. That cat really likes following me around.

Oh well, see you tomorrow.

January 5, 2009

So today was officially my first day of work for 2009.
So far things are going well. Even with an economy that is in the tank, I think we will be OK.
--
This weekend I bought Super Smash Bros. for the Wii.
I didn't realize how intense that game can be. Now I know why 8 year olds spend all their free time playing it.

I never realized how much fun the Wii can be. Mind yo I love my PS3 but this thing is addicting on a whole new level.

January 2, 2009

The first post of the new year. Sweet.

So today we took down our Christmas tree and several decorations, all that is now left now is for me to take down the lights....joy.

Tonight Bill came over for the first time since I got the Wii. We ended up having a baseball game that ended in a 0-0 tie. In fact, it was two perfect games. He also showed me this new channel, where you can download Miis from around the world, that people create. We downloaded Darth Vader for me and the Pink Panther for Debbie. They look amazingly good.
