I saw something online (I believe CNN) that showed the crane operator of the new World Trade Centers and it really amazed me. I think I’ve said this before, but I really like to follow everything about 9/11 and the re-birth of that area in Manhattan. I watched (and still do watch) shows all the time on everything about that terrible day back in 2001. And when I saw online the guy who operates the crane about 90 stories up on a daily basis, it was unreal. First off, you can’t be scared of heights to even watch the video. It shows from him inside the crane and does shots looking out across the city and also straight down. It is worth taking a look. Plus it isn’t an article that dwells on 9/11, but more so shows that we weren’t defeated in rebuilding the Twin Towers.

We ordered tickets to go and see the Fresh Beat Band in Cleveland next month so that should be just a great freaking time for me. Then again, the little princess will go insane when she sees them so I guess that’s all that matters. However, the wifey decided to buy tickets as close as possible (i.e. most expensive) so that’s just great. We ended up spending nearly $150 rather than around $75 – smart financial decision while we are in the midst of selling/buying a house. Oh well, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if it makes the princess happy I am all for it (and the fact that my wife is the one bringing in all of the money).

Today is grass cutting day at the HD household – also going to do some general yard work. I’m hoping there aren’t too many more times I have to cut this grass, which should be the case considering we are moving and that it is getting closer and closer to fall. I’m thinking about having the little one help out with cleaning up the garbage, but it will end up being even more of a wreck around the place with her actually trying to help! Oh well, get it done soon so I can relax tonight!

Have a good weekend!

Well folks, we put an offer in on the house and they accepted! As Chevy Chase says in the movie “Vacation” – “this is crazy, this is crazy, this is crazy!” We are SO excited though! The house is amazing and it will give the little princess (and potentially any more kids we may have…) a ton of room and a great neighborhood. I just hope the new neighbors don’t mind my Beats By Dre headsets!

The little one started preschool so I’m not with her as much as I have been, which has and will give me more time to start packing for the move and such. It is really perfect timing to be honest because it gives the HD household a chance to get situated as a whole. The next few months are going to be hectic, but hopefully everything goes off without a hitch.

My little princess has now gotten into a show on Nick Jr. called “Fresh Beat Band.” I had never heard of it so she must have heard from her friends at school about it. She wants to watch it nonstop. Again, it is better than that freaking purple dinosaur, but it still isn’t the best show I’ve seen, to be blunt. Four teenagers (well at least they play teenagers) run around in outrageous outfits and sing songs nonstop, and my daughter sings and plays right along with them. Kind of annoying, but she gets a kick out of it so screw it. I’ll suck it up.

Big night planned at the HD house tonight – OLIVE GARDEN!!! You can never go wrong going to Olive Garden with the soup and salad. We are going to the one in the North Hills of Pittsburgh – only been to that one a couple times but we are headed to Ross Park Mall to buy some clothes for my wife from the Limited and new shoes for the princess from Stride Rite. I’m doing the mall first so I can actually enjoy my Tour of Italy at Olive Garden and not be rushed into shoving it down my face. Experience, people. Been there, done that.

Until we meet again…
