Almost Gobble Gobble Time

  • What's up folks? Not much going on. I had a cool and relaxing weekend. Friday afternoon I got up and went out to work only to discover that I didn't have to be there after all. Jarrod had asked me to work earlier in the week and I told him yes, but he was there when I showed up. I was slightly annoyed since I sat in traffic for 30 minutes. He did apologize profusely, so I give him credit for that. Later that evening I went to dinner at El Torito with Cathy and we drove around a bit, then we hung out at home. A while later we swung by Al's (Alisha) house to chill out, but there wasn't much to do except watch her other friends decorate for a party the next day and listen to her other annoying friend butt into other people's business. We hung out for about 45 minutes texting each other then went back home. I ended up drinking a rum + pineapple juice and going to bed shortly after.
  • Saturday I worked in SF, then picked up Michelle and went to Newpark Mall to do more Christmas shopping. I have about 75% of it done now. I'm starting to get more into the spirit of things and I love giving, so what more can I say? Later on we picked up Dad and went to Applebee's in Alameda for dinner then Borders so Dad could pick up a book or two, and of course we got coffee there as well. Later on at home I hung out with Cathy and watched movies/TV, then went to bed around 12am.
  • Sunday morning I slept in again. Yeah I know I haven't been to church in a few months. I kinda feel I'm spending my time with God five days a week while I'm doing Bible study here at work. I spend about 30 minutes reflecting on what I'm reading and realizing what it has to do with my life. Even Old Testament stuff has relevance to today. So yeah I have A LOT more room to grow but hey, I try. Anyway I slept in, did a little housework, then made organic pancakes with sugarfree syrup for breakfast. I know I'm not diabetic but I limit my sugar intake in some meals, so I can use it later on. Like later on that evening I had a bowl of ice cream. Haha. Anyway after breakfast I took a shower and went to the gym with Cathy. I worked out for a whole hour. 25 min of cardio and 35 min of lifting weights. Yay for me! This was my only gym visit until this Saturday. I'm working 66 hours this week, so sleep is going to be more of a priority. (I love holidays and holiday pay!) After the gym we got coffee and drove around for a while, then went home. I had a santa fe chicken salad for lunch, uploaded some movies to Youtube, downloaded lots of new music, uploaded it to my Zune, ate dinner, watched a lot of Night Court on DVD (I have season 1), then I took a nap for a few hours before work. That my friends was my weekend.
  • Like I just mentioned, I'm working a ton of hours this week. I always work an average of 55 hours a week but it's bumped up a notch due to the holiday. I don't mind one bit since I need the money. There are millions of Americans right now who are out of work, so I don't take this for granted. Also, promised the boss at Traffic that I'd work Thanksgiving so I don't have to work Xmas over there. I'll still work here on Xmas though, and maybe at KDFC for a few hours on Xmas Day. During the evening on Xmas Eve, I'm going to my Uncle Jim/Aunt Brenda's house to celebrate and Santa Claus is stopping by, I can't wait. Haha. Last year I had Xmas off, but my Mom was kinda dead. So yeah, it sucked. Okay I'm outta here for now. Toodles!


Oh yeah, posted 2 new videos on Youtube. One is from last weekend at Kimmie's house, other is just random singing/driving featuring lots of turkey gobbling from Cathy.
