Exciting Times

Things have been moving quickly this week, with Katie and I keeping ourselves busy both inside and outside of work.

This weekend we took the opportunity to head out on a miserable Saturday to get Christmas presents for Katie’s parents, managing to head into a very busy Argos to get her Dad an Xbox 360, a present bought for him by Katie’s mother.

That evening we popped over to them to drop the presents off and we stayed for a couple of drinks, taking in the X Factor final and the Strictly Come Dancing semi-final. I have to say, I’m not a massive fan of the reality shows but having watched a duet between the winner of X Factor and Beyonce and witnessing my first ever Argentinean Tango, I am surprised to say, I could watch them if they were that good.

My Sunday morning was yet another football day for me, we managed to lose to a very poor side, but I took comfort in the fact we only had ten players.

Katie received some good news, her checks and references passed with flying colours and she starts her new job on Wednesday, so it was a cause for celebration in our household this evening.

I am pushing on with my writing efforts, today was a good day for me, having two articles published. One of MakeUseOf.com and one on LostInTechnology.com, with it looking like one might hit the Digg front page.

With only 8 days left at work, I’m counting down the days until Christmas.
