Holdin it down

I had a great time in Atlanta with Joe and Carrie and Lee. The weekend can be summed up in 3 words really: food, alcohol and sleep. We went to the UGA game in Athens on Saturday. I did not realize that this would mean waking up at 5:30am to get there in time to tailgate for the 12.30 game, but whatever I was up for it. We walked around downtown for a while and hung out in the main square relaxing. Carrie's husband Lee is a great guy, and I will affectionately call him...."opinionated". Walking back from lunch, we observed some guy in khakis, pumas and a tshirt stretching with one leg up on a tree:

Me: wow look at that guy stretching, weird.
Lee: Man, what a douchebag. I mean look at what he is wearing with those shoes and that little tshirt. Nothing says douchebag more than a medium shirt.
Me: haha yeah I guess..
Lee: Dammit I hate a medium.

We had a fun time at the game and ended up getting excellent seats about 20 rows up on the 30th yardline. UGA won, which everyone was happy about. Then, Saturday night, we went out for sushi in Buckhead. I had a dragon roll, it was SO yummy! Then we went a few more places in Buckhead and walked around, went dancing and just had an all around good time. Joe and I got all caught up on our lives and all that good stuff. It's really nice to have a friend that is supportive of my decisions simply because they trust me to know what I need and to let it happen and vice-versa. It was a really nice time.

Funny thing is, I wanted to get away so bad, but I was really ready to come home. On the way back I stopped in Charlotte for dinner with my 2 sisters and my niece Aly. It was so good to see them and catch up and just hang out. Basically, this weekend I realized I had a lot to come home to. I love Raleigh and my friends here and even my job for the most part. I feel like I got just what I needed and I am ready to face another week. And that is a great feeling.

Today

~I went to the gas station this morning and used my speedpass. Just one step closer to the end of the world.

~Then I saw like 7 men stadning around a car in a parking lot drinking beer at 8:40am.

~I found out I have paid vacation days now. YAY.

~I ate lunch at Golden Corral with mom. I am pretty sure I have already expressed how this is a very bad idea in the middle of a workday.

~I almost fell asleep at my desk.

~2 more hours and I am home free for a long weekend~!

I took this test 5 times

and I really don't know what I changed in my answeres but I didn't like the questions. I didn't have one definitive answer to any of them.

Test 1: Agnostic
Tests 2-4: Buddhist
Test 5: Judeo-Christian

My point?? - These tests are silly and I am online too much.

You fit in with: Judeo-Christian Your ideals mostly resemble those of the Judeo-Christian faith. You have the capacity for immense faith and spirituality. At your core, you believe in justice, goodness and redemption. 20% spiritual. 60% faith-oriented.

oh sleepy sleepy

Well as opposed to last weekend when I pretty much hibernated for 3 days, this weekend I had a great time with friends. I didn't get much sleep on Friday or Saturday nights but last night I slept really well and yet I am SO tired today at work.

At the last minute I got tickets to the State/Clemson game on Thursday night so I went to that with Katie and Hilary and David and all the crazy gang. We left at half-time and went back out to the tailgate where we ate the best food ever (as always) ...

Friday night we had a fun time playing poker at my house (I went out first this time...sad day.)

Saturday night was the usual shenanigans at the boys' house and I fell down the hill. I hurt my shoulder and my knee and am limping around the office a bit. I finally watched Hitchiker's Guide on Sunday and since I had never read the books, I had no idea what to expect. I enjoyed it though and all its craziness.

Last night I went to a cookout for the music people of Vintage and I had a really nice time getting to know some of the people that I usually just see in passing.

Overall it was a lovely weekend with some really great people. I feel great :-)

A few crazy thoughts

Well, tomorrow I am meeting with a career counsellor to try and figure out what I want to do with my life now that I am staying in Raleigh. I have a few ideas, one of which is actually going BACK to school to finish my Spanish degree. I don't know if I want to do that, but if I do, I feel like it would be better to do it soon while I still have a hold of the language. UGH. The idea of being back in school does NOT thrill me. But maybe it wouldn't be so bad if I am talking all one subject and it's just a few classes....we'll see. The upside is that my GPA in Spanish is resume worthy so that would be a plus...who knows...

In other news, it is still raining. I case you missed it.

And, I am having a nice time talking to old friends and new. Refreshing really. :-)

EDIT~~~ I really like the word Phoenix.

Massage Chain

So I have been thinking. We all seem to complain about needing a neck massage, so let's be proactive already and get a massage chain going. We can order pizza.

Who's in!?!?

Think of the fish ok??

Ever since I was in Mrs. Weber's class at Plumb Elementary school. I cannot take the last can of coke out of those little plastic rings without breaking them into little bitty pieces. My resoning behind this is for the sake of the ducks and the little fish who can get their little necks stuck in these man-made killing devices.

Like this




WELL. I have since found that in the workplace, this environmental courtesy also doubles as a magnificent stress reliever. So much in fact, that it has become a joke around the office and I was recently given 2 unbroken sets of rings "in case of emergency only"

Even when I complain, I have some great co-workers. :-)

And I am saving the animals from DA MAN. What more could you ask for??

I am in a good mood. Even though it is boring at work today. Life is good.

I want to have a fall/christmas party this year. Too soon to talk about it?? NO WAY. I love this time of year and I am gonna enjoy every minute.

It even smells better if that makes sense. HAHA.

Ok enough randomness. Happy Fall.

Well well well...

I had a goooood dinner. I will indeed sleep like a baby tonight.

My boss went on a rampage today, yelling about everyone behind their backs and not saying a word when they were around. At least he was smart enough to know who would walk out. But really, my job is a joke. I need to have a real career with real professionals. I am beginning to wonder if they exist.

I am ready for a trip. I hope Atlanta works out. It's time to get the hell outta dodge. Driving long distances always puts me at ease. I don't even listen to music all that much. I just enjoy the silence.

I opened my windows today. It's nice.

There are some people that I really miss right now. If I could hang out with anyone at the moment it would be Todd Sesto. He was my brother in law's best friend and a great friend of the family, we even dated for a short time until the long distance got the best of us. In Florida we would all go watch beach volleyball and play cards or go to Wet and Wild. We lost touch a couple years ago and last I knew he had finally conquered cancer and his bachelor's degree. I hope you are having an awesome life, whitter, wherever you are. I also really miss Shaughnessey and Kelsey from the ol Florida gang. We talk more often but nothing has ever been quite the same since the divorce. Speaking of which, I got an email from my ex-father-in-law the other day. He is a ginourmous blacksmithing maniac and and even bigger teddy bear. It looks like he has been commissioned by the military for some blacksmith training over in Iraq. He seems really excited about it. As much any man who makes knives for a living could be. Here is one example




I love the change of seasons. That is something you really don't get in Florida and there is something so necessary and theraputic about it to me. It's like just when everything goes to crap and you feel like you can't breathe anymore, there is a cool breeze in the fall or a warm glow in the spring that brings a whole new light to things. It's refreshing really. And I am so thankful that I have been created with the ability to appreciate the beauty around me. I think the quote below fits in with the idea of seasons.

"Don't ever give up, because little by little you are changing. The more you change your mind for the better, the more your life will also change for the better. When you begin to see God's good plan for you in your thinking, you will begin to walk in it."
~Battlefield of the Mind (Meyer)

In my mind, there are seasons, each one in its own timing and right for that time. But there is another season coming soon and I can't just hit pause where I am...because change is on the way.

Weekend Update

Well I have survived another end of the month at my friendly law firm and my first legacy con. The latter was a weekend full of fun and games with many old and new faces that I met through Jon. They know eachother due to gaming, but I was just in it for the fun. There were an unprecedented amount of redheads there, and I had fun tagging along. I am still getting used to the hair...I had a great time though. Meckola reminds me so much of my cousin Nate that I get homesick for Florida. It's perfect. It must be the circle of friends. It's so welcoming!!! I could go on about all the shenanigans, but the truth is, most of you that read this were probably there.

Regardless, thanks for the good times everyone. :-)

I am still a little heartbroken that I got the third place dollar. But it was worth it to hang out with Mexican Jim and his lovely wife. And I was pretty stoked that Tina and I held it down for the Raleigh crew. LADIES WHAT WHAT.

Church was great today. Tyler talked about peace. I really needed to hear it. Lately it seems like everything I hear and read confirms the direction that I am taking right now. That isn't to say I am doing everything right. But I think I am pretty close to the track at least.

I have listened to Frail by Jars of Clay about 45 times in the past week, thank you Matt S. The instrumental part just strikes a chord in me (aha) I think I may try to learn it on ye olde guitar. I really need to pick that up again.

Otherwise, I am hangin in there. For all the pray'ers, please keep em coming. I can never get enough. Have a great week!
