Hmm.

Another day... nothing spectacular or anything. Work, eat, work, gym, home. I'm getting out of town a bit in the next couple of weeks though, so that should be good. I'm pretty excited to get out of the office and work for a bit.

Hoorah.

A Laptop...

So I'd been wanting a laptop for a couple of years now... so I went and bought one today. I'd been looking a lot over the past week and settled on an HP HP DV5-1002NR. So far I'm pretty happy with it, although Vista takes some getting used to. I'm going to install Ubuntu on it shortly and see how it runs, but I'll keep Vista on here and dual boot since I've already paid the MS tax.

I'm slacking...

I haven't really blogged this week. I'm definitely slacking. Now that Rachel's moved out, I don't really feel upset or depressed or anything like that. It's pretty awesome. I've just been taking the time to clean up and straighten things around here... just at my own leisure. I'm still working out, down 32lbs as of this morning. Not too shabby. Definitely inching closer to my goals.

Mmhmm...

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....

Another day goes by... I've tried two different types of generic cottage cheese, but I really just don't like them as well as the name brand. It's just nowhere near as good. That's a weird way to start things off, I know, but I just ate some, and that's what I'm thinking about right now.

I got a new window crank for my drivers' side car door. My old one's retainer clip had broken off, so every time I shut the door, it fell into the floor. It got annoying.

And, I went to the gym after work today... did about an hour of cardio and came home. I was hoping to get home in time to mow the lawn, but I didn't, unfortunately. I did mow a little bit, what I could see from the light in the garage, mowing down the weeds by the driveway. I don't really have grass... just weeds that grow everywhere and grow to be very tall. It looks horrible.

That is it for today...

Saturday

Headed back over to John's in a sec... we're building a baby crib. We just got back from Lowes getting all of the wood. I had to stop by the house to get something in my stomach because I hadn't eaten today and was feeling dizzy. This is going to be fun!

Worked out yesterday... worked legs... felt horrible afterwards... but I feel good today. My legs are just sore, but not so sore that I can't walk, which seems like progress to me!

That's all for now....

slowly but surely

She's moving out..... more stuff is gone today. She still has a looooong way to go though.

My arms feel like Jello. I definitely paid the price of going on vacation for a week. It's all good though. It feels like I'm making progress.

I like cheese.

Shouldn't this be gone by now?

Blah, blah, blah.

So yeah, I'm back from the beach. Back to work. Back to sleep. No drinking. No nothing... So I'm home, and all of Rachel's shit is still here. That's mildly frustrating. She took the cat, her computer, and I think that's it. They came over last night and packed up some more stuff. She says she's getting the truck on Thursday and will be getting the "big stuff". Hopefully all of the stuff.

Went back to the gym today. Did some cardio for an hour and a half, and I'll be working with the personal trainer tomorrow and Thursday. I'm going to be so sore on Wednesday.

Blah, blah, blah.

Going home tomorrow....

Insert sad face here....

I don't really want to leave. I don't want to go back to work. This has been one of the most relaxing vacations I've had in a LONG time. I'm really glad I came here. I've had a great time, although I'm really exhausted today for some reason. Perhaps it's from wandering around in the heat all day yesterday at the Hard Rock Park (which was pretty cool, btw).

Nothing spiffy or exciting happening... I ran into some girl that used to work for Rachel down here. She was here getting married, and is staying in the same hotel. Crazy stuff....

Rachel called me today... apparently she hasn't moved a whole lot of stuff this week. Ugh.... oh well. She has moved enough to begin sleeping there, so that's at least a plus. We're dropping Ariel off at the apartment tomorrow when we get back. She says she's getting a truck Thursday on her day off and will be moving everything then. We shall see.....

wooohoooooo vacation

I have no idea what that was last night that I posted. I think it was funny to me at the time.... I just kept thinking in my head 'blogger'....

Anyway, I actually left the hotel tonight. I went with my brother and his childhood friend that coincidentally is in Myrtle Beach this week as well and we went and shot pool. I had a lot to drink. I actually cleaned them out of bloody mary mix and had to switch to jager bombs which are also excellent. Yum.

There was this hot goth type girl there. I talked to her a little... she seemed pretty friendly. I'm learning a lot about myself while I'm here. I'm slightly better at small talk that I thought, and I'm somewhat able to hold a conversation with people about absolutely nothing. It's weird stuff.

I'm also coming to the conclusion that I prefer (go figure on this one....) brunettes with somewhat long, straight hair and dark eyes. Build and height aren't too much of a factor as long as they're not grotesquely overweight. Now, don't get me wrong... there definitely isn't a shortage of attractive girls here, but I'm just saying that the ones I find myself more attracted to have those characteristics. I'm not even saying that's what I'm looking for in a girl.... just saying something.

There was this cute goth girl at the bar.... I made a point to talk to her a couple of times.... not hitting on her, cuz she was with some guys there, but just trying to gain the courage to make small talk with a cute girl. I always did have a thing for that type.... dunno why.

Anyway, we had a good time shooting pool. I fell outside on the way to the car though. Didn't see the step.... guess that's a sign I've had too much. Now my knee is all skinned up and bleeding. Yum.

Wheeeee, good times, good times. Trying to feel out how to talk to people... start conversations.... social activity is a tricky thing. Guess it's one of those skills I'm going to have to work on.
