Where the Heck Have I Been?

If you have been wondering what’s become of me, waiting with baited breath and a finger on the refresh button for a new post, and/or just plain stalking me, this post is for you!

The long and short of it is that while we were on our cruise (which was totally awesome and everyone should take one sometime in their life) and after we came back, we’ve been doing a lot of talking about putting our house up on the market.  The part of Georgia we live in (northwest of Atlanta) has seen a huge boom of builders building houses in the $250k and up range–so much so that they are no longer selling and builders are selling at losses just to stay afloat.  Always one to try and improve our situation, we have hopes that our smaller, 3 bedroom, 2 bath on 1.3 acres of woods might sell fairly well if we spruce it up.  So, spruce it up we shall.

Our target is the middle of May and we have a ton to do before then.  Today, we had nearly 3 pallets of sod delivered and layed to cover our front yard where there was a huge lack of grass due to cheap contractors putting in pine straw instead of sod.  I’ll try to post some pictures tomorrow.  They had a bunch left over, so I put most of the rest of it down in another spot while the sun quickly dipped below the horizon.  Then, I spent the night cleaning out the garage with my shop-vac and rearranging stuff to make some room for packed boxes of stuff to go down there out of the way.  Prospective buyers are much more forgiving of a full, but organized garage than a cluttered house!

So, with much much more to do, you might not see as many posts from me for a few weeks.  To top it all off, things are very busy at work too!  I’ve been trying to get a small bug-fix update out for the Mac version and begin working on major feature planning for Safe Eyes 6.0 (Windows) all at the same time.  Plus, I have nearly two full weeks at the end of May and beginning of June where I’ll be in San Francisco.
