A lot of things may be about to happen in our lives but, right now, there is just a lot of waiting. Here is what has not happened:
- We have not had a baby.
- I have not gotten a new job.
Both of these things will be really cool when they happen, but in both cases (more so in the first) I am waiting on someone else! Silly babies. Silly me not applying for more jobs! I just had an interview, which I think went well and which I am interested in taking, but I’m trying to keep myself from getting too excited. It’s probably not going to happen.
In the last post I mentioned a beer tasting extravaganza. I’m thinking that the beginning of June will be the best time, as it will give the Scientist and the baby a chance to recover. I’ll try to keep everyone informed.
Also, feel free to notice that Dan has a new blog. Apparently, he needs to keep making new ones.
So I took a test today. And I learned the following:
Now, this raises a few questions in my brain: (1) do I really want to know this? (2) what if I am unable to answer these questions truthfully? (3) Will the R’s have succeeded in their scheme to destroy social security? (4) Will I be able to live above the poverty line once I retire? (5) Am I only interested in this because we are about to have a kid?
Hopefully, the money we are putting away now will allow us to retire comfortably in 45 years or so. We did just open up an ING Direct Orange Savings account, the 4.5% interest rate they offer is a little better than the 0.2% our bank offers. Heck that’s even better than the inflation rate (~3%)!
P.S. Less than a month to go on the baby front. I expect our blogs will become like Xumbi’s shortly, so if you don’t like babies… too bad. Speaking of Xumbi, there should be a beer tasting thing again soon… maybe a “babies and beer” party?
