I can’t remember if I mentioned it or not, but I signed my lease for another 9 months… So I’m here till April of 2006 at least. Blah, whatever.
I kinda want to buy a season ticket to the OC PAC, but it’s $300 for 6 shows… And well, I don’t want to always go alone, so it’d be $600 for 2 seats, and well…. I have no one that would be an always avaliable person to go.
Ummm… Nothing much else going on.
Got a package from grandma today. Full of cookies and noodles… Yummy!
Well I went back to my normal gym today… Thankfully the dirty man wasn’t there. lol. However I did eat an ice cream bar after I was done. lol…. And I’m back down to 172 now, so I’ve lost 8 pounds… I’m wondering where it’s coming from because I don’t think the belly is getting any smaller yet!
So yeah, only 9 hours of sleep today. And I ate a minute steak. It was yummy, but I was too lazy to make potatos to go with it. Maybe tomorrow or something. I love mashed potatos… My grandma makes the best, well to tell you the truth, they’re actually MY mashed potatos when we go there and eat them. It’s the thing that I’m in charge of at her house. But her noodles make the mashed potatos even better… God I can’t wait tell August when I get to go back. I’m going to have her make me a big roast and noodles and just sit there and eat bowl after bowl of htem..
I’m also going to hit up Tylers Pharmacy and get a…. Uh oh, I can’t remember the name of those drinks… but either way, they’re only 25 cents and so good. That places was such a great part of my childhood. I love it there.. I’m going to take SO many pictures when I go there this summer. Good old small town Iowa. 🙂
Umm.. I called Andrew tonight, of course I got his voice mail. I cried… I also got an e-mail from Susan again, saying not to do anything stupid and to call her if I need to. She’s sucha great woman.
I also left my hours at 10pm, instead of 11 tonight… I thought it was 11 when I left, in fact I didn’t realize it was 10 tell I got to the gym and asked myself why the place was so damn busy! Gah. I could have watched another episode of QaF! Blasted. Oh well.
I’m kind of annoyed at work. I think I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m re-writing large parts of the timesheet. Well, I added this status report thing, and then it got changed and now it’s being changed BACK to the way I had it the first time. So annoying. It’s like, hello! Let’s think things through here. Blah. Also, since I got to the gym an hour early, I also came in an hour early, and I was going to spend that hour writing this updae and doing other random things for myself… but it was spent instead fixing a problem that didn’t exist.
I got a job offer today too. I had been interviewing with this company in DM, however when they sent me the offer they changed it from a fulltime job to an 8 week contract job in italy or something random like that. I had to say no.
Mmmm, mashed potatos and noodles!
Laters all.
I had a horrible birthday, minus about 5 hours in the evening when I had a good time..
Dinner was nice. Olive garden. Though it was a bit cold out.
Andrew made me some CD’s, and got me a painting For my ktichen.
So far that’s the only thing I’ve gotten.
The PU’s ordered mine today, and it should arrive next week.
And grandma’s should arrive tomorrow
Only my PU’s called.
I’m going to start looking for jobs in Iowa again. I’ve already found a few nice opps. And some of them pay what I’m making here, which would be REALLY nice.
Anyways, laters.
Well,
Break is over, and it’s back to work for me… Another hour and a few odd minutes and we’ll be back in the OC. I really don’t want to go back. I really wanted to stay in Iowa.
If someone were to offer me a job back there tomorrow, I’d totally move back. Even the people on this flight going back to the OC are bitchy as hell… All the people on the flight out of DM were really nice and friendly. There’s this lady sitting in the isle seat on my row. She’s a total fucking bitch.
Anyways, yesterday was lots of fun. Got up about 8:30, after sleeping forever and then went up to Ames and visited with Krellisans for a long while. I wish I still worked there. Barb even gave me a hug!
After that I went out to lunch with Sarah and we had a good time talking about homos and stuff. Then I drove back to PC, stopped at home for a little bit and then went and picked up Nikki. We had to pick up her sister after a movie, so I didn’t really want to go anywhere and start doing anything, so we just drove around some. Finally the movie was over and then we went off to my house and I showed them around PC. After that it was supper at Hickory Park in Ames, and then down to DM to visit my cousin. That was a blast.
From there it was Java Joe’s for like an hour and then back home for the night. I’m really glad I got the chance to show them around DM.
This morning. I got up about 10 and went to Jordan Creek. Walked around there for an hour with my mom. The boys are Hollister were WAY hot!
From there it was back home and then time to leave. Got to the airport and have had really good flights so far. Both of them should be getting in early. My first one was just a little early, like 15-20 minutes. The one I’m on now is nearly an hour early. Which is just amazing.
Work tonight. I think I’m going to go home, rest tell 3am and then go into work and work tell 10… Which is what I have to work tell anyways. Tomorrow I’ll be sleeping really well.
I’m really glad that I have the 3rd off.
Umm, anyways. I shipped my box to Cali, it was only $45 which wasn’t bad for a 65 pound box.
Have I mentioned that I want to move back to Iowa. :'( Usually I’m crying on planes because I’m leaving someone I love… Now I’m crying because I’m leaving somewhere I love. :'(
Blah. Well. I just don’t know what to do. Andrew keeps saying that if I like it there so much I should move back… But I don’t feel that I can. I don’t want to feel like I gave up on living in California, I don’t want to leave my job which I DO like. And I don”t want to move back and have my grandma be all…. I dunno how to explain it, but she’d be right.
Apparently my generation is called the “echo” boomers. Gah, crazyness.
I really wish that I had time to get a second job….I’d like to have some extra money to buy new clothes… Or to start setting aside for a house…. I figure I should purchase something in the next 5 years… If it’s for me to live in or rent out, either way. I should start investing in the real estate market sometime soon.
Ok, well my computer hasn’t been charged in a few days. So it’s nearly dead. I’ve got to break.
Laters all.
Well, I’ve got heat/hot water now.. Though there was a bit of a problem with it last night.
They came about noon and turned on the gas. He said I should have hot water within an hour. I got up about 5ish and took a shower. It was luke warm. So I went outside and heard water running. So I look and the pressure value of the water heater is letting all the hot water out.
I called Maint and they came to fix it. That took a couple hours. Hopefully it’ll work tonight when I go to take a shower.
I might be getting a dryer. Which would be good. Though. Who knows? I dunno if I want to spent that money yet.
I purchased my wireless-cable router today. A Linksys WCG200. Hopefully it’ll work well.
I’m on chapter 7 of my CCNA Intro book. So half way through it then I can take my test for the INTRO part. Then I have to take the ICND part. Woot.
There’s some new guy who’s working here and he’s really cute. Geeky, cute.
I guess they are talking about getting me to do builds. That’s exciting. 🙂 It means more resposibility. Twice a week builds.
I’m going to go buy a light today to bring into work. I got some of those day-light bulbs. So I’m going to bring that in as well and use it. I hate this whole only getting a few hours (6am-8am) of sunlight a day now that it’s dark by the time I get out of bed. Hopefully this light will help some with my body.
Working out has been going alright. Though I’m still at 172. I want to get down! DOWN!
PU’s mailed me my shit yesterday. Hopefully it’ll be here by weeks end. I really want to cook something!
I want them to come out here soon. Them and both grandmas. I found some REALLY cool places to take my Gmas and my mom too. Also found a place that had some OLD ass Singer sewing machines that I think they’d ALL love to have as collectables!
Anyways. I think I’m going to head out now since I’m working a long day tomorrow.
Laters all.
