This Week I’ll Be Homeless!

ocean-beach-clubOh, my! For the first time since I stopped working as Alaska crabber – I’ll be homeless! What is even more – my family will be sharing with me all the hardship associated with living in Ocean Beach Club resort for almost entire week :-)

My old house is sold and will be signing final papers next Monday while buying new house will be only done on next Wednesday so I have a few days to live without the home – since the subject.

This post is a very simple note that more than likely my posting to the blog or any other activities will be limited.

2010 Winter Storm Notes

2010 Winter storm hit South East, specifically Virginia Beach with a very expected consequences:

  • Public school system shut down and my son got himself extra couple days off (so far..)
  • Entire region in panic mode
  • Roads are horrible since nobody is ever prepared for the snow

But perhaps best of all and my favorite – people got to enjoy the snow! It will be a short lived fun for sure since the temperatures are already going into plus category and snow will melt – right now it is a blast for kids!

Here are a few pictures I took right outside the house…

My Unintentional Long Absence

After receiving a few emails through contact form I figured I better write a quick post on Why I haven’t posted in a while.

No! I do not plan to retire and I have every intention to continue providing information, same as I did before. Reason for my absence and lack of posting is very simple…

I put my house on the market right before the Christmas, got it under contract right after New Year and now I’m quite busy dealing with all the things that has to be done since house was FSBO and I’m responsible for handling the seller part.

Not to mention that I still don’t have a place to move my family to :-) Needless to say that my wife is slightly anxious and I spend a lot of time looking at properties and concentrating on family but I will be back in full swing once the dust settles.

Thank you everyone for the emails! I promise – I’ll Be back!

Vacation At Home – Do You Take Those?

Sometimes I feel I get so overloaded that I overlook the main reason I have started working online – provide additional comfort to my family!

This past week I have taken pretty much entire week to do some family chores and enjoy as much time with my wife and kids as possible! And since we did it without leaving anywhere it was a bit challenging but manageable!

Vacation at home is possible – how do you take those?
