Last night, Eric and I were out at dinner with some visiting coworkers of his from Wisconsin. Halfway through dinner, Eric asked one of the guys if kids were with it. The guy responded, "I give it two thumbs up." Eric says he's asking everybody he knows that question, sort of solidifying the whole idea in his mind. He's committed to it, sure, but he wants to be reassured that he's not going to regret it...

As if anybody is going to say, "Noooooo! Worst mistake of my life!" and be the kind of person from whom Eric would take advice in the first place...

Somebody kick my butt and make me Christmas shop. I am completely unmotivated to even begin; the only gift I've bought thus far was for a Secret Santa exchange with some online buddies, and that was only because I had to ship it out early. And it's not even like I've got famil gifts pre-selected! I have no idea whot to get for my brother. Anybody got any suggestions for a not-quite-21 year old college student? I got him a black light last year, I think.

For Eric's parents, we getting a CD player. They currently have no method of playing CD's, and Ronnie has recently begun nurturing an interest in bluegrass music. Rita doesn't listen to much besides Lionel Richie, but they'll enjoy the capability to listen to more.

Anyway, we need to get moving on this, because we're getting busier and busier. Eric has a second job interview coming up for the new position; the funny thing is, it's with a guy who's not only a friend of his, but also the person who recommended that Eric apply for the position in the first place! Yes, this will be a fruitful interview... Eric's looking forward to seeing the company headquarters, anyway.
