floordrobe
We have a new floordrobe (word choice compliments of Urban Dictionary's Word of the Day) thanks to my lack of doing laundry. Need to get on that tonight.
Had a really enjoyable Saturday going to MacArthur Center with Jered and Esther. We stopped at the Apple Store, and had lunch at California Pizza Kitchen. Then had a slice of Godiva cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory. We came back to this side of the water, then had a sushi dinner which was awesome.
Sunday, just mainly stayed around the house and did a few chores and relaxed.
This week is somewhat busy at work, and it will be busy at home as well. I am still looking at the last minute deals on Travelocity for our trip to Europe.

TGIF
It's been a pretty busy week. We met two nice guys this week, one Tuesday and the other Wednesday. Due to a lack of sleep I napped yesterday evening and still went to bed early. Johnnie's out of town tomorrow, so I get puppy duty and maybe sleep in a bit and play the Xbox.
Thankfully I was able to download Hexic HD back (I deleted it accidentally). Microsoft finally called me the other day with a code to download it. They weren't able to e-mail the code to me or send it to my gamer account on Xbox Live. Could you explain to me how Microsoft isn't able to e-mail me a code? In the year 2007?

Mundane Monday
Weekend was great! The weather was really nice and we did some things around the house and cleaned up, etc. It would be nice to get the light up in the Florida room, but Johnnie bought screws that were too large for the holes! Maybe the next trip to the hardware store will get us the right screws.
Touched base with a friend I haven't chatted with in a while, and he's sort of in a bind in his relationship. It made me think that people should not be doormats and let others walk all over them. And you only live once; I don't see anything wrong with trying your hardest in a relationship, but if you can't get over some very basic issues, why are you going to spend copious amount of time trying in vain to make things work?
Coworker is talking about the Grand Canyon and another coworker asks if he saw Mt. Rushmore. Un-f'ing-believable. Can you use Google Maps you freak?!
The puppies have been living in the kitchen now, and their messes are much more manageable and I know they enjoy the afternoon sunlight immensely.
This week brings... nothing exciting. Have been chatting with a nice guy from down the road, that we might meet later this week for coffee. My car is filthy; it needs a bath. Can't some hot guys come around and wash it? Shirtless? In Umbros?

Don't take Nyquil in the morning
I am feeling better; my allergies brought me down yesterday so I spent the afternoon at home napping. I woke up this morning at 3:30 and coughed a lot, so I found some Nyquil and took it. Unfortunately, it knocked me out. Sad, I know. Since I don't consume alcohol, I guess it had a substantial effect on me. I woke up at 9 and came in to work at 10:30.

Shootings at Virginia Tech
Shooting at Tech... 30+ people killed...
Wacko buys gun and intends to shoot people. Gun control not needed? WTF are gun lovers smoking? If he hadn't bought a gun, what would he have done, run around and choked 30 people to death?

Ikea
Picked up lots of things at Ikea yesterday, but didn't go overboard. Got some new pillows and wall art for the living room, plus a television stand and a shelf for some more plants in the sun room. Today, after a brief Internet outage (turns out you can't turn the circuit off which powers the fiber box), I am doing laundry and surfing the net. I could use a nap, but I'll try not to and go to bed early tonight.

Hookah & Booze
My boss's wife is trying to convince us to accompany them to Norfolk tomorrow to a Belly Dancing Hookah bar. Not exactly our scene, but it would make for some funny stories.
I'm going to Ikea tomorrow with our neighbor to pick up a stand for the TV I bought earlier this week. Johnnie wants a stand for some plants, and then a light fixture for our sunroom.
I picked up some more 360 supplies last night at Best Buy: a fan assembly to help keep it cool, a rechargeable battery pack, Sonic The Hedgehog, and a year's membership to Xbox Live Gold (with 200 points). So I think my fledgling entertainment center is complete for now!
I'm still rather irked about the delay of OS X Leopard (10.5) but I guess some things are unavoidable.

Linking to my google page
I decided to make a blog to link back to my google page. This way I can just write a quick entry about something I've read or seen online.
I bought an Xbox 360 the other night, and a new television for the rumpus room. I picked up a 30" Samsung. It is a CRT but it's "slim" in that it's only 1/3 the thickness of a traditional CRT. It's an HDTV (1080i) and I also bought an over-the-air HD antenna to pick up the local HD channels. We have Dish network on the big TV downstairs, but I don't feel the need to pay more each month for another tuner box. The TV is mainly for playing Xbox and maybe watching a movie or two while I'm enjoying recreational activities. The price was right!
Our Sony downstairs seems to be forgetting some of its settings. I need to see if there is some sort of battery or otherwise why it might be asking us for the language each time we turn it on.
