The Simple Things

The post says it all.

A phone call.

Car getting fixed.

Favorite grocery store right down the road.

I must say that although Kyle is traveling and trying to figure out what he wants to do with his life, he sure gives some damn good advice. Really good advice. I'll see him this weekend again and get to meet his gf.

My car is fixed?!? Phew. I thought I was going to have to "invest" in another car. Fortunately it is fixed. Something in the trunk was draining the system. I'll get the car on Saturday. After it sits for a few days, if it's still good, then we're back in business.

On a side note, like I mentioned, Harris Teeter is right down the road. Got sushi for dinner, bananas, and shrimp for dinner next week.

Other thoughts:
Ran today. 2 days in a row and today I got in the zone and had the best run of the year.

The work week has gone by pretty quickly. No sarcasm. Gotta have the tie on tomorrow though for the parent meet-and-greet.

Wow I must be spoiling you guys with all of these posts with my inner thoughts.

Disc 3 of season 6 of Entourage is much better than disc 2 btw.

Til next time...

Aug 23rd, First Day

Ah. So I started work today.
It's just training/a retreat so it wasn't too intense.
I got to school, only to realize that the day was beginning at a Church; AND that wasn't the one right next to me. I still arrived on time. Good thing I'm always early (like KMO).

I found out that I was working today when I got home with Kyle and my Dad told me he saw it on the website. Dang. I thought I started next week. So in a frenzy, I packed all the last couple things I needed and dropped Kyle off at Nick and Craig's place.

I didn't unpack last night and I didn't sleep well either. Today however, I did unpack and I'll probably sleep better tonight being less stressed and all. It actually looks pretty decent now, especially once the big bookcase is gone.

Kyle is here in DC until Wed. He goes to New York for a couple days, and then comes back Fri with his new gf, whom we have not yet met. He showed me a pic on facebook though. FINALLY. We have validation that she's real lol. From what I've heard from Kyle, she's got a good heart and a great personality. She should fit in well with us, I'm thinking. Btw, she's from Australia? That question mark is no typo.

In other news and things that I forgot to post, Rob and Letty's wedding was a crazy good time. Beautiful bride, beautiful ceremony and reception and good ole Rob. Joe cried when Letty came down the aisle. Got me goin a lil too. All of our friends who are girls were there, as well as Letty's girls, whom I hadn't seen in years. Kate and Casey were real cute and it was the first time I had seen them since they got engaged. Kate also made the road trip down with Nick, Craig, and me. That Eminem song came on every hour so it's a lil tired out for me. haha

I had way too much fun though lol. Craig and Nick can attest.

Until next time, much love readers.

DMV

And that doesn't stand for DC, MD, and VA. Although that is where it's located.

The DMV! I was joking earlier with my brother, but the person who decided that it was a good idea to make people stand in a line to get a number, to wait in another line, was a sick, sick person.

Ah I'm over it...sorta.

August 6th.

Today was a good day.

I found out that by moving and becoming a resident of VA, I will be saving $600 a year on car insurance. Beat that commercials.

Then I went to Six Flags with my buddies (Nush, Ricky, and Nush's gf, Svetlana).
Overall good time. Sitting in the last row for Superman:Man of Steel was the best idea all day. Panda Express for lunch. Good stuff. Boo Bat Wing. That's not my favorite. Laying down on a ride scares me. Perfect weather today too.

Awesome day, every ride. Ended in drama. She fell of an inner tube and hit her head going down a water slide. Nush got his money back, but it took a couple hours and was exaggerated a little. Ahem.

Had an awesome conversation last night too btw. Mutual friend from high school that I didn't remember. Conversation was on AIM. About everything. Traveling abroad, Dematha (the bomb-dot-com), Tenchi Muyo, lol. Hope more conversations follow.

Finally, I read this African Proverb today that was funny and made me think of my girl, Kara Moey Fitzll. Btw, how did "Fitzll" become short for Fitzgerald?

Anyway proverb is:
"If you educate a boy, you educate an individual; if you educate a girl, you educate a community." So sexist.

Rob's wedding in one week!!!
