News from the Mini Manor

There really isn't much, the girls are still acting like they love each other, but they really hate each other, Himself is busy carving up dead animals (he just cuts the steaks, he doesn't kill the animals) usually about six days a week, and I'm usually at work trying to convince people to take care of the skin they have since it's the only skin they get.

The two major events that have happened since my last post pretty much happened at the same time. Himself decided that being a daddy wasn't such a horrible idea, so now we're going to start trying to have a baby (our first spawnling!) pretty soon. We have a whole plan worked out: we start 'officially' trying in August, don't renew our lease on the mini manor and move in with his family (the mother in law is beside herself with excitement about this. She's even getting the guest room all set up so all we have to do is put most of our furniture into storage and move in!) until we find a manor of our own. We may end up waiting a little longer and renewing our lease, but we've got our backup plan ready just in case.

The other major event was my promotion. I can't remember if I wrote about this or not, but I got promoted to senior assistant manager (now when the manager goes on vacation, I get to be in charge of the store). It was a higher promotion than I was expecting, but I'm not complaining. I love working there, and I'm being trained to take over that shop if the manager decides to take over another (or start her own). Kinda scary, since I've only been there since April, but everyone seems to be pretty sure in my abilities to lead, so that's a good thing I guess.

Himself finally got to go to the horse races (well, he's been to the track, but that was to see a fireworks show, and we got there just as they were leading the horses off the track after the last race) on his birthday. We spent most of the day together, went to the races, and then watched a movie that had just come out. Pretty good movie, but not one I would really want to own I think.

Well, that's about it.
