Hangin out relaxing outside of the school...

Nick and I are at Nordaggios. Yep, we are drowning our sorrows in coffee. It's not too good tonight though. I feel bad because his "place" is shades of brown.

Why is there actually work at work? I thought work was just a place for adults to go to a sort of daycare. But you do some stuff and every now and then they pay you.

In my other jobs in the past, I had stuff to do and things would be either hard or fast paced, but eventually there would be some time where you could sit back and just relax.

I guess that's why they call it the "real world."

I am quickly accumulating so many various responsibilities that I wear about 4 or 5 different "hats." Not that I don't enjoy it, but I've never worked so hard before.

I'm actually very proud of my hard work. What brought me to think of all this? Today, I worked nonstop all day. Really! I even worked during my lunch and took a very small lunch break strictly in the name of replenishment.

But this week is special. It's not usually this busy, but it's our launch week and there are extra duties to be done. I really could have eased back, but I didn't want to come in this weekend.

Oh, I need some new jeans, and maybe some new shoes.

Currently drinking: Chai Train - 20 oz (I'm not sleeping tonight!)

What was I talking about? Oh, work... Yeah, I like some downtime, some time where I can just surf the internet or go to the bathroom for a longer period of time. If you don't know it, I love a good bathroom break. I may not even actually use it, but just the act of sitting there, I love.

Also, I don't want to seem lazy, but I'm just saying that I enjoy my downtime. Although, work all day does make the day fly by!

I need to post some pictures but I haven't really taken any recently. Just some with my Helio. You can check those out on my Flickr page (www.flickr.com/photos/scrappapervlog).

Did anyone switch over to Virb.com yet? Maybe not switch, but even sign up? Look for me if you did, I'll add you to my friends.

Nick is still here. It's a lot of fun having him around. Living in my place... It's so weird but so cool! He even helps clean! But that comes at the cost of breaking my new vacuum... I don't know what to think...

I told him he could ride my bike whenever he wanted and today he took it up to Turkey Mountain. He likes it!

Well, I better get going. Thats it for now!

Great weekend!

I think Jenni and I really had a great weekend. It was full of adventure and very relaxing at the same time.

Right now, we are just finishing off the weekend at Nordaggios. Yes, I shouldn't have gotten the chai train, but I did.

It's really weird though because the only kids that come in here are in fact such. Kids. The college kids aren't here so the high school kids have the run of the place. The place smells of emo and punk testosterone as boys try and flirt with the young ladies. Ok, it's not that bad. And they aren't all emo and punk.

But I'm just sitting here, getting caught up on my web surfing. I don't really get a chance to surf at work so I look forward to weekends.

I filled up my standard lined Moleskine so I bought a new one. I thought I'd try the reporters style. It's ok, not lined, and it opens differently, but it's still neat.

Jenni went to every furniture store around yesterday and reported back to me with the furniture she wanted. Matthis Brothers once again pulled through. We bought a set of bedroom furniture. It's a sleigh bed, dresser, nightstand, and the thing (I forget the name) that has drawers and a mirror... you know what I'm talking about.

Good thing about it all: pre-assembled. (except for the bed, but that was easy)
Bad thing about it all: everything was huge! I am so glad I have that van!

Dad,
You mentioned trading the van for the Buick? Yeah, no way. I see why you want it back. When the seats come out, you could park a plane in there! And thanks Nick for the hitch.

Matt and I went riding yesterday morning. We had a really good 2 hour ride around Turkey. I even talked him into doing the hike-a-bike. If you don't know what that is, it's like rock climbing without rope while carrying your bike. Yeah.

Jenni, myself, Josh, and Joanna all watched Deja Vu last night. Neat movie, hurt my brain though.

Oh, that made me think of my TV, remember, 32 inch HDTV. Well someone else I know got one. That means that everyone at my DE home has a bigger TV than Ana. She needs to sell hers and jump on the 32 inch bandwagon. You just can't beat the price of the 32 inch Vizio. The only downside that really bothers me are the speakers. At times they just can't get loud enough.

I want to post pictures of the bedroom and our office/spare room, but everything needs vacuuming (one word: styrafoam. No two words: styrafoam and dog) and cleaning.

I'm wearing my "I Love My Wife" t-shirt and it gets a lot of looks. I think that most people think she makes me wear it, then I tell them that I made it for her. "That is so cute!"

Well, I better get back to surfing the interweb. See ya.

Can't sleep.

It's not that I can't sleep... it's that I can't sleep. What I mean to say is that I guess I can't have a chai train after 7pm.

Jenni and I had a little night on the town. We also decided to swing by ORU because we were feeling a little nostalgic.

It was cool because there was no one on campus! We went to the CPO, the Internet Cafe, and we even used the bathrooms by the nurses office! Just like old times...

I really am/already miss ORU. I miss the college life. I mean, I love where I am right now, but I have so many good memories from college.

Anyway, I'm going to try and sleep now. I'll post some pictures from today soon.
