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!

Count from one to ten. That's how long it would take Chuck Norris to kill you... forty seven times.

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!

Alrighty then...

So, sorry for the lack of updates all this month. I've been sooo busy sitting on the beach watching the sunset.... ahh this rocks....



Anywho, what have I been up to since my last post? Well, you all get to see me soon! I'm flying out there on the 31st of next month and helping Mom and Dad drive down here to Florida. Not looking forward to the drive, but I can't wait to see you all again! Steph called me last week saying that Zane was crying because he missed me so much. Poor little guy. I miss everyone out there more than you can believe!

Not a whole lot going on down here though. I've just been working and hanging out with Stephen and Kyle mostly. On Saturday I went to the beach with Aunt Anne and watched the sunset. That was an awe inspiring sight.

I'm having tons of fun with Capital One now to. I called them at the beginning of this month to find out about making the last payment on my car loan. They told me that the auto pay feature wouldn't work for that, and I just had to send in a check. So I sent in the check, and they deposited that along with my auto pay! But they never posted the check to my Capital One account, so they have no record of that. Now I have to send them in a copy of the cleared check from my bank, and try to get my money back somehow. It's kind of nice though. I went from owing them money to them owing me money in one fell swoop!

Anyways, I'm really looking forward to seeing you all again, and Mom, I'll try to post more often. I know how much you like seeing what's going on down here. :-) Love ya'll!

Busy busy...

I promise that I'll update tomorrow! To tired right now... need sleep...

Ouch, what a weekend....

Okay, so what's up with me in the last week or so? On Friday Stephen, Kyle and I played in a Magic the Gathering tournament at a comic book shop here in Sarasota. Well, Stephen and Kyle play. I found out about five minutes beforehand that a third of my deck was illegal to play, so I bowed out. In a standard format tourney, you can only use cards that are up to two years old. Well, a chunk of mine were two and a half years old. Doh! Oh, well, there's always next weekend. Anyway, Stephen took third and Kyle came in dead last out of about nine people. He's learning though!

After the tourney was over we went back to Stephen and Jacqueline's house to play games. They had a couple more friends over and we ended up staying up all night. And by all night I mean ALL night. I didn't sleep a wink. I had to go to work from seven to noon on Saturday, so I figured I'd just be better off staying up all night, as apposed to just getting two or three hours of sleep. Whooo boy, was I tired! My hands were shaking a little bit the next day ;-) I did learn something useful out of the whole thing though; Five Hour Energy shots only work when you take three of them combined with about two pots of coffee!

I finally got back to Aunt Anne's at about three-thirty in the afternoon and just passed out! I didn't budge until Sunday morning at about six. I felt very refreshed though! I went to Starbucks for my morning get-up-and-go, and then watched football all day. It'll be nice once I get into my own place I can get the NFL Sunday Ticket and catch all the Broncos games. I'd love to bee able to see those two point conversions with 23 seconds left on the clock for the win! It's not as exciting when you're just watching the replays on Sport Center. Team Mansquatch is doing good this week though! I'm at 71.50 points and my buddy Mitch is only at 52. All my guys have played, but he's still got a wide reciever and a running back playing tonight, so it's going to be a close one. If I can manage to hold onto the win, I'll move up to fourth in my league! Pretty decent for a fantasy football rookie!

Alrighty, time to go do paperwork. I love you all and miss you lots!

Oh my God! An update!....

Sorry for the lack of updates as of late. I've been pretty busy with work and what not. As far as work goes though, same paint, different paint store. It's basically the same thing as working for, I'm just getting paid more, and the store is immensely slower! Right now, I'm writing this post while I'm at work. I started taking my laptop with me this week because it's so slow. I've only had one customer since three o'clock! I'm used to doing as much business as we do in an entire day before nine o'clock in the morning at Kwal. Anywho, work is work, and they help pay for college. Word.

I found out that Stephen, Mark and Kyle (my cousins for those of you who don't know them already) are really big into different CCG's and table top games, like Magic:The Gathering and War Hammer. That awesome! I've been collecting CCG cards since I was twelve, and never really had anyone to play with. Now I get out here and find out that all my cousins are into them. Last night Stephen came over to Aunt Anne's house, and we played the World of Warcraft CCG with Kyle. Stephen found out that every Friday night at the local comic book shop they have Magic tournaments. Next weekend we're gonna head over there and play. That should be fun.

Anywho, I should go. I have to do closeout paperwork soon. It's so slow here....
