Whattaday!

That kind of reminds me of those ugly Whattaburger restaurants. I haven't seen one since I was stationed in Texas.

Anyhow...

It's been an awesome day so far. I got up, met Paulie (our chief photog) at the bureau around 8:30, and we shot the first of my February sweeps story. It's a three-parter, and I'm not going to reveal anything else about it here. It should be a good one, though. :-)

We finished up, and I talked to my boss about what to do the rest of the day. Part two of my story will be shot out-of-town this week, so he gave me the rest of the day off! Working 11 hours yesterday didn't hurt, either.

And... WE HAVE HOT WATER! The gentlemen came this morning, and we have a brand new water heater courtesy of our home warranty people. I really think we would've renewed the contract for another year if it wouldn't cost so much this close to Christmas.

We paid $339 when we bought the house, and we've had to replace the furnace and the water heater. So, for less than $340, we've had more than $2,000 worth of work done. Not bad, huh? They now want almost $500 to renew the contract, and most of our other appliances were new with the house.

So, what's a man to do today? I'm about to leave and finish Christmas shopping for Amy, and I guess I'll come home and finish putting the touches on the painter's tape. I should be ready to paint the nursery by this weekend.

It's a good day. :-)
