Hello!

Sorry about the lack of updates lately! I still don't have internet at my apartment, so I can only post quick little notes at work. Oh, and Mom, I will post pictures as soon as I get a chance! Of course, by the time I get around to it, you'll be out here, but everyone else can see what they're missing! Anywho, gotta run! Love ya'll!

I need more exclamation points...

Painting Away...

There's nothing else to do at my place, so I decided to do some painting! Go to my online photo album to see the pictures of my apartment so far. The link is on the sidebar of this page. I'm not quite done yet, but I'm getting close.

What the Hell??!

I just hit a deer. I was driving down State Route 70, about sixty seconds from Grandma and Grandpa's house, and I hit a friggin deer. WTF? A deer? On the gulf coast? I never hit a deer in COLORADO! I should go back and cut off a big steak.... damn deer owes me....

Home Life...

Well, I'm in my new apartment, as you all know. It's nice, but boring so far. Don't get me wrong, I love the place, but I don't have internet access, dish, a tv. There's not a whole lot to do except paint. I'm painting a few accent walls this weekend, and as soon as I can get some paintings put up it'll be looking sweet! I'll post some pictures as soon as I'm done. For now though, here's the first picture of my new place. This was taken last night before I went to bed:



Don't worry mom, I'll be buying a little food today after work ;-)

Anyway, I'll get some more pictures this weekend so that you guys can see the rest of the place. Other than moving, not alot going on lately. Aunt Anne and Kyle are going to Disney World today and tomorrow, but I opted to stay home and paint. I need to save some money! I'm going to put my patio lights and my air chair up later tonight, so I'll be well on my way to a sweet bachelor pad!

And in other news, my Fantasy Football team is on a two week winning streak, taking me to sixth place with a 2-4 record. The guy that I'm playing this week has a horrible team, so I'm fairly confident that I can win again! Depending on how many points I score, and if one other guy loses, I could move up to fourth place this weekend. Woohoo!

Moving Day!

Today I'm moving into my new apartment! I'm at work right now, but I'm getting off in a couple of hours and using the van to move my nine boxes of stuff into my place. ;-)

That's right folks! Nine boxes! That is the sum total of my worldly possessions! Oh, wait, that wrong. I bought a coffee pot last week. Ten boxes! Woohoo! Aunt Anne got me a really nice chair with an ottoman, and some friends of hers have a little table and some kitchen chairs for me. I'm not completely destitute, but I still need furniture! I've got the day after Thanksgiving off, so I'm going to camp out at Best Buy or Circuit City and buy a bigscreen TV and a sound system.

Uhoh, my delivery guy just got back, so I gotta run and get him on the road with the next order. See ya!

Homeward Bound!

I got my apartment! I went down to the leasing office at Beneva Place yesterday and picked one out. It's a very nice place too! The girls in the office showed me around, I looked at two different units, they ran my credit and that was that. I move in next Wednesday! I was actually a little surprised that my credit was good enough to get the place. At my last two apartments, I had to have a co-signer on both of them. Here, they ran my credit, and thirty seconds later told me I was good to go.

This is all such a relief. I've got a good job and my own place, so this whole exodus of mine can finally stop feeling like vacation, and more like home. I can get some sense of normalcy returning to my life. Now I just need to get some furniture...

I'll post some pictures of the grounds of the complex after I move in next week. It has so beautiful in there. There's tree everywhere around the buildings, so it has a nice woodsy feel to it. Right in the middle of the complex is a lake with a fountain in the middle of it. It's just a nice, quiet, secluded, homey feeling place. I can't wait to move in!

Anywho, that's pretty much all that's up with me this last week. I've been fighting off a cold since last Saturday, so I haven't been up to much outside of work. Oh yeah! Capital One had deposited money from my bank account a couple weeks ago for the last payment on my car. Well, they did the same withdrawal twice, but they never posted the second one on any account. They had no record of the check being deposited, so I had to fax them a copy of the cleared check so that I could get my money back! Well, they called me yesterday afternoon and told me that they put a check in the mail. So not only am I debt free, I have people owing me money! It's great!
