Wow, the time has flown by; almost 6 months through 2008; it is scary how quickly time has flown by this year.
The first 4 months went some what slowly as I was not working but now I am working time is just whizzing by ever so fast.
Hope everyone is good and well and surviving the outrageous prices at the pump and the grocery store; Jess says for me to tell everyone sorry for what Bush has done and wants me to assure you that she did not vote for that idiot; just hope the next president is not such a fool.
Things have been going great at work for both Jess and I, Jess is now back working at the university library in the new construction; she was actually requested on that job site which means one of the bosses must like the way she works and that she wont be one of the next to be laid off which is awesome.
I was given my work van 2 weeks ago which is nice; I dont have to buy petrol any more to get too and from work; all our service calls are given to us on a website which we can access with our work cellphones so the only time we need to go to the office is on thursdays for our 8am meetings.
All our service calls are also based around the area in which we live which means I dont have to leave my house at 7am to get to the office by 8am; I can leave my house now at 7:45am if my jobs are in the next suburb over or 7:55am if they are in my suburb which means I get to sleep in 
2 weeks ago we had a whole week of nothing buy blue sky and 32 degree weather which was nice but last week and all this weekend and even today (monday) has been muggy with rain; reminds me of New Zealand not like Reno Nevda at all.
During the nice weather 2 weeks ago we had plently of BBQ nights mixed with drunken Karaoke & Guitar hero at a work buddy’s house, I even managed to impress the 12 Americans at the BBQ with my BBQ TriTip roast cooking skills, and Jessica with her Pavlova which they all want the recipe for.
Jessica and I went to see Indiana Jones 4 at the cinema last night; we thought we would go early to get the tickets and then get something to drink accross the street but we were told by the ticket counter man that we need to get into the cinema and line up with all the other viewers because the movie has been sold out every single screening since it opened on Thursday.
So we waited an hour in line to see the movie which by the way was a great movie but not worth waiting an hour in line to see; the only good seats available were the seats in the 8th row from the front which meant we had to crick our necks the whole epic movie.
I feel bad for the people in the rows in front of us as they were almost having to lean all the way back in their seats almost ending up in the laps of those behind them just to see what part of the huge screen they could see.
I was asked by a friend in Spain to review a book that she had published called ‘Spiders & Wine’ which by the way is a great book and true story.
Spiders & Wine Written by Deborah Fletcher is a sort of diary documenting her, her husband and the many animals they have as they move from the UK to rural Spain and the many wonders and troubles that happen to them in their new Spanish life.
I really enjoyed reading this book; I am glad I have been asked to review this book as I don’t think I would have stumbled upon this little gem of a book any other way.
140 pages this book is a nice book that you can get stuck into in a rainy weekend and get sucked into the majestic Spanish way of life; this book has every thing from creepy critters, cookie the cockatoo, other birds, dogs, wine & dining, fiestas, house building and more.
I recommend each and everyone of you go to this website…. http://www.trafford.com/07-2425 and buy this book; you wont regret it.
Another project I have been working on is a DVD slide show consisting on around 250 photos for a clients daughters 18th Birthday/Graduation, the daughter has no idea what is going on which makes this project even more special; I have been given all the photos which I have painstakingly scanned into digital format and sorted them into categories ie, Baby photos, photos with little bother, dad, mum, prom, rodeo and more and have been putting them to music which the mother has given me.
Doing this project has made me realize that I am getting older; its quite scary, this girl was born in 1990 she is 6 years younger than me; ahhhh to be 18 again.
Also have realized the majority of the music that the kids are listening to is utter crap; i.e. lean like a Cholo aka dance like a Mexican wannabe gangster; does that mean the music we were listening to when we were kids is just as crap?
Have a great week.
Love Scott & Jess
P.S. If your Mcafee software is telling you that this website is a phishing site, don’t listen to it, Mcafee is crap; ditch it and get some decent software that actually has humans review the websites not their robot which constantly makes mistakes.
which is a good thing, Jess brought me a linksys telephone router for our 2talk account so we can make and receive phone calls to New Zealand for a set price per month which is cheaper than paying per minute; check it out @ 
Hello, things are getting colder here in Reno, 4 degrees below 0 celcius each day, the sun is shining as usual but it is just so cold; we had a 4″ snow fall last Friday and the snow is still just as thick on the driveway, the roof and everywhere else around here because if the sun melts the top of the snow it just freezes almost instantly.
