Well I received some more photos of my awesome niece from my brother last night.  I added them to my flickr (you can use my link under my blogroll or just click on one of the small previews in the sidebar).  I’m dealing with insurance people right now who tell me they can’t help me, or give me another number to call, so these photos help to deal with this crap.  Enjoy the pictures!

Of course there’s the ever popular school which seems to haunt my dreams.  I have an ethics class that is 3 days long, starting on a Thursday from 8am -9pm, then Friday 8am – 9pm, and ending on Saturday from 8am to Noon.  Now I don’t know about anyone else, but doesn’t that sound exciting?  Exactly, it doesn’t.  Then there’s actual school the following Monday.  Now this shouldn’t be bad, but I do not feel the rush I used to, maybe it needs to kick in still.  Next is my search for my car.  This is going to actually please me.  Not the search itself, but rather the outcome.  I was convinced out of the sports car area (specifically the VR-4 I was looking at).  My next area that I was concentrating on is the luxury sedan (sporty option).  I test drove a 2003 Lexus ES 300, which did nothing to dissuade me from this genre of cars.  There is also a BMW 528i that has caught my attention, and I’ve driven many of those from my car porter job I had at Crown Auto World when I was 16/17 years old.  Once I get whichever car I decide on, I will gladly link a photo to it on here, and I’m sure there will be a few on my flickr.  I hope everyone’s summer was good, since it is about to come to a close.  I will keep you all posted.

To sum it up, went to Houston.  Saw my niece, Brenda, Ryan, my father, my mother, Larry, my cousin Mark and his mother and some foreign kid from France who was cool, my cousin Emily and her boyfriend Matt, my Uncle Howie and Jan.  Went to some bars in Houston to see the nightlife, which was mostly good.  Uploaded some pictures to my flickr of all the fun (you have to register to add a comment).  Other than that, I’m looking to replace my car which has again broke.  Daisy went to the vet, but I think she’s feeling better and hopefully it’s not serious.  I’ll be more specific in my next post.  Hope all is well.

7/14/06 at 8:21 am, my niece was born. She weighs 7lbs 8oz and is 20 in. in length with a 13 1/2 in. head. Congratulations to my brother for being a father, and to Brenda for being a mother. I’d also like to point out that while I may be Uncle Nick, my parents are grandparents, which is the funniest to me. Anyhow, I look forwarding to seeing her in a few days when I go to Houston. Here is the first picture of her, enjoy!
