hootchie, coochie, hootch

Here's a snippet of an email conversation (edited slightly) that started out innocent, and ended up delightfully dirty:

Her:
I was wanting to buy your wifey a nice bottle of hootch for her bday. Any suggestions on what she likes?
Jim:
Hmmmmm. I'm guessing "hootch" is a reference to either alcohol in general or a specific type of alcohol [...]

La Tarjeta Verde

For those of you interested, Jess is now, officially, the beneficiary of a USCIS issued Permanent Resident Immigrant Visa, a.k.a. a Green Card.
The interview wasn't even close to being as bad as either of us expected. In fact, aside from showing proof of our marriage (a signed marriage license), proof that we are living as [...]

Moved In

So, we're all moved in. I wish I could say it went off without a hitch, but that isn't the case.
First, I'd like to thank my Mom, my Dad, my brother, Jason, and Mike and Lisa for helping out on move day. Jess and I both really appreciate it.
U-Haul told me I could pick up [...]

** Jess' Birthday Party **

We're going to celebrate Jess' 21st birthday on September 18th. Not tomorrow, but the Saturday after that. We'll most likely go somewhere, for a few drinks, and then head back to someone's house/apartment for the rest of the evening. Perhaps our new house, maybe somewhere else. That hasn't been decided yet. If you're interested in [...]

the big move; wanna help?

The big move is this Sunday. I pick up the truck at 7:00am, and we're going to get started around 8:00am or so. If you've got nothing better to do on Sunday and would like to lend a hand, let me know. Mike and Lisa are probably coming to lend a hand, as is a [...]

ding dong

Somehow, one of the wires that connects our doorbell wiring to the transformer in the attic got cut cleanly. So, I decided to fix it. Of course, I'm a whiny wus when it comes to electricity, so I was a bit scared to do so. After calling my Dad 100 million times to be sure [...]

delivery

Our refrigerator came yesterday. Again, thanks to "Joel":http://livejournal.com/users/rockbugg/ for hooking us up with a good deal. The guys who delivered it were real jerks, but, in the end, everything worked out and it should be ready to store food by now.
Our new furniture came yesterday, as well. We ended up getting another couch and a [...]

lawnmower man

I mowed, weed-eated, and edged my lawn for the first time yesterday. It was quite a pain in the butt. I haven't mowed a lawn in so long, I didn't even remember how high to set the mower. Well, I guess I set it a little too low. No big deal, I'll just raise it [...]

STOMP

Tuesday night, Jess and I saw STOMP with Lisa and Mike at the Bass Performance Hall. Mike and I had seen it before. It was a decent show, but not nearly as good as last time. This time, our tickets were $60 each and, even then, we sat pretty high, and pretty far back. Last [...]

sheetrock sucks; thanks Mike

I'd like to publically thank "Mike":http://livejournal.com/users/mw/ for spending last Saturday busting holes in our walls. With his help, I have all the wiring I want in all the places that I want it. Of course, since we busted holes in the walls, they now have to be patched up. Jess and I have plastered them [...]
