Week One
It’s Friday and so far I have managed to stick to my no TV during the week and only 4 hours on the weekend. I’m actually a little surprised with myself. I’ve gotten a lot done and had some fun. Although I did not finish Catch 22 so I’m going to have to renew it again. I wonder how many times they let you do that…
Last Friday, EC convinced 12 of us to drive to Douglasville to have some authentic Tacos instead of going to Taqueria del Sol as usual. While it was fun and the food was okay, I don’t think I’ll make that trek again.
Saturday I spent a lot of time working on some stuff around the house and then went to KA’s place for a birthday extravaganza. It was her birthday and we were also celebrating 5 others. We played some corn hole and badminton and I learned I am really bad at corn hole.
Sunday I actually went to my Sunday school class because one of my friends was talking. I haven’t gone in probably over a year, so I don’t really know if I can call it “my” class anymore, but whatever. Other than that and church I didn’t really do much.
Monday after work I went to the annual august party for our industry. It was at the Ainsley Golf Club and the after party was at Whiskey Bar at the W Midtown. I hadn’t been to either place and they were both a lot of fun. The Whiskey Bar has an amazing Blueberry martini. I’m glad I don’t actually pay for my drinks at these things because I’m sure they were two super expensive bluberry martinis. I didn’t get home until about 2, so I was pretty tired Tuesday, but so were the other 5 people from my office that went to the party so it was a slow day at work.
Tuesday night I had small group so I just hung out with the girls and then went to bed as soon as I got home.
Wednesday night I went through a huge plastic tub of baby/kid clothes my mom kept and that I was too lazy to go through 3 years ago. By going through, I meant that I never actually even opened it again after the I opened it initially and decided that I didn’t want to deal with it. This is one of about three tubs/boxes in my attic that I just took when we cleaned out the house and never did anything with. I’ve just moved them from place to place, so I thought I’d actually see what was in there past the top layer. I cannot believe all of the stuff my mom kept – most of it is going to goodwill or went in the trash. So that’s one thing out of my attic.
Last night, I didn’t really feel like doing anything at home, so I went with KW, LH, and SW to see Yacht Rock at 10 High. We’ve seen them before but not there – I think I’ve only ever been there for improv on Wednesdays so it was interesting seeing a show there. It was a lot of fun, but I am tired today.
When I was driving to work this morning, I was thinking how long it has been since I stayed out until 2am period, let alone twice in one week and on a Monday and Thursday to boot. That’s crazy. Sum and I used to go out on Thursdays every week when we first moved here and we would stay out until 3 or sometimes even 4 when the bars stayed open that late. I don’t know how I ever made it to work on Fridays back then because I really didn’t want to come today.
Probably the most boring post ever, but I bet you still read it :)
It’s been a busy few days for me. I have this Friday off from work and it cannot come soon enough. Here’s what I’ve been up to.
Friday – After work my brother and I went to dinner to celebrate his new job that he started this Monday. After dinner I beat him at Trivial Pursuit and then he beat me at Scattegories ( a first for him, but not for me) I realize we might be the only people on the planet that play Scattegories with only two people, but it’s still fun. One funny thing – out of all the states that start with N we both picked North Dakota.
Saturday – I finally caught up on some sleep, ran a few errands and then left my place around 3:45 to head to Lawrenceville for my friend’s cookout. Played some wiffle ball, some Taboo and got a new appreciation for how far she drives to hang out with us usually. After the cookout, Blondie and I met up with a few friends in L5P. Got home way too late.
Sunday – Too tired to make it to church so started my day with some old school 90210 on Soap Net. Tried unsuccessfully for a few hours to get my brother up and at ‘em. Started moving his stuff into his new place around 2, spent 1.5 hours in my least favorite place on Earth (Ikea) and then spent 3 hours putting together a dresser. Had about an hours worth of work I brought home to do over the weekend, ended up doing it at 12m.
Monday – Long day at work followed by kickboxing and then book club at my place. Talked about KW’s adventures at Bonnaroo and the rest of our weekend adventures. Did not talk about Catch 22, because none of us had started it yet. There will always be next time. Started cleaning the upstairs bedroom and bathroom after the girls left and ended up cleaning until 12:30 so then I watched Craig Ferguson.
Tuesday – Longer day at work (probably due to the lack of sleep) complete with 2.5 hour training session about some new software followed by the gym and then small group at my place. Didn’t have our new study books yet, so we just caught up and talked about boys. MB and MF stayed until about 10:30, but instead of going to bed when they left I decided to throw the rest of my brothers stuff in bags/boxes and then finished cleaning upstairs. Again was up way too late.
Today’s agenda – went to the gym over lunch so I can go home and vacuum upstairs and start steam cleaning the carpet (yes I have my own steam cleaner – if you know me well, this probably doesn’t surprise you) in the bathroom and bedroom (yes there is carpet in my guest bathroom and yes I hate it) before heading over to my brother’s new place and helping him put together the book shelf and desk we got Sunday.
As you can tell, I lead quite the exciting life. I’ll have to come up with something good to do Friday with my day off so I have something more interesting to write about…
