What Have I been Up to…..
Posted by Brian under: Family News; Home Ownership; My Thoughts .
It’s been a long break since I posted anything on this site, and it will probably stay that way for a while. Lots of changes since I was on here last, so I’ll go from largest to smallest.
- Moved to SC - That’s right, sold our townhome in Atlanta and moved to South Carolina. Not just anywhere, but actually into the home that I was born in. It’s a little out of the way, but what it lacks in convenience it makes up for in space (outdoor space that is) and price.
- Started a new Job - Still at the same company, just in a different department. Since November of ‘07 part time, and since April of ‘08 full time I’ve been working in the Information Technology department assisting with the implementation of a new ERP system. It’s a good move for me, and I believe that it will lead to many enjoyable years.
- Got rid of the Internet - It’s not that they don’t have the internet out in the boonies, it’s just that without it, I can find lots more stuff to do around the house, and outside the house. That’s probably the biggest reason that the updates to BrianPainter.com will be fewer and further between.
- Planted a Garden (in progress) - No one can live on forty or so acres and not have a garden in the summer. I’ve picked out the spot for it, marked it out, and even started to till it up. This week is starting up the old tractor, borrowing a tiller, and really getting the spot broken up. I think planting will come sometime in the next week. I’ll update you on how it goes, and how green my thumb really is.
I’ll post some photos of the place, as well as photos of our garden and hopefully the 400 lb pumpkin that grows when we plant the special seeds that I saw for sale at Lowes.
