Countdown to Vegas

Posted under General

in which there are 4 more work days ’til blast off…

Counting the days to Vegas! Just finished my Monday and that only leaves four to go. Trying to get all of my loose ends tied up before leaving. Gonna tidy up my workstation, get all my laundry done as well as a few things around the house before I go. I’m getting anxious to say the least. I’ve been working really hard and I’m ready for some much needed R&R.

I recently had to replace my cell phone cuz the front LCD started to fail. I called last Friday for a replacement and my new Voyager Titanium showed up yesterday. Took it home, downloaded all of my content and got it all tricked up to my liking. Not a lot of difference from my old Voyager but does have updated firmware and I really like the visual voicemail. It’s really a great phone.

Waiting for M to clock out and then I think we are gonna make some cheese grits and watch some Doctor Who. What could be better, right? Oh yeah, with a cocktail and a Dingo!

Gotta go

Grillin’ and Chillin’

Posted under General

oh yes, there will be foodz…

I’m sitting here at work (off the clock of course) waiting for M’s shift to end. We are gonna pickup J and head over to my place and do some grillin’ in the shed. I’m gonna throw down some cheese grits with grilled sweet onions, peppers and zucchini for the GF and make some chili dogs for me and her Bro as well as a few adult beverages. I’m getting hungry just thinkin’ about it!

I have to work tomorrow and then off for two days. Going to try to get a few thing done around the house this weekend and then it’s just one more week of work before Vegas. I can hardly wait. I’m super stoked!

Other than that, I’m just bored.

The trip to Mineral, WA for the Rainier Blues Festival last weekend was a blast. Hella cold but a blast. Sure was nice to get out of town for a weekend. I think we just might make that little trip again just for the hell of it.

Well, it looks like I’m about outta here.

All for now…

Getting old

Posted under Rants

and I’m gonna tell ya’ about it…

IT SUCKS!

It seems like the older I get the more prone I am to injury in general as well as other things. Here are just a few examples…

1. I went bowling a couple of weeks ago and basically blew a hip and my right elbow after just two games. I limped for three days and my elbow is still not up to par. I might mention that I was loaded but that’s still no excuse for the damage.

2. I went golfing last Monday, 18 holes with a cart (shot a 90) and managed to blow the same hip out of wack and my elbow wasn’t likin’ it either. Later that evening, I was in the kitchen with M, reached around her to grab the can opener from the 2nd drawer and threw my back out. I mean cmon, a fucking can opener? I could hardly walk the next morning and have been suffering ever since.

3. My diminishing eye sight. I have always had great vision. I can track a golf ball into the rough from 200 yards out but lately I have noticed that I can’t even read a menu at arms length. This is pissing me off. So, I’m going to buy some readers to help me with my inability to read things up close. Sigh.

4. The night before last, the GF and I took turns applying Icy Hot to each others backs before turning in. Nothing says ’sexy’ like the smell of Icy Hot for God sakes.

These are just a few of the things that are pissing me off about growing old. I’m pretty sure that it’s not going to get any better so I’ll just learn to deal with it. Not that I want to but what’s a guy to do?

In other news, the GF is now shaving my head in the comfort of my own home instead of paying $12.00 for my Barber to do it. She even does my eyebrows! I *heart* that girl. :)

All for now…

Update

Decided to go bowling again with the GF and her Bro. My hip survived but I totally pulled my left calf and I’m limping like crazy. If it isn’t one thing it’s another…

The Lazy Blogger

Posted under General

he just doesn’t apply himself…

Where to start. Let’s see. I went bowling last week with the GF, her Bro and Landie after a few drinks at the P&E. We had a blast and I’m pretty sure I blew a hip in the process. Oh, and the weekend before M and I took a Sunday drive up to Harris Park. It’s up the south fork of the Walla Walla river. Absolutely beautiful up there.

Last week we had the Fair in town. Mush was singing with the Coyote Kings on the Pepsi Stage Sunday night. It was hella cold but we had a great time. I ate the usual foot long hotdog, a couple of corndogs and a brick of curly fries. Hurt like hell but you can’t pass up all that fair food. We also had a little picnic over at Gma’s house and I brought my Momsie over for a couple of hours to eat and mingle with M’s family. Wow. I seem to be writing this in reverse order but what the hell.

Anyways, this month on the 13th I will be going to the Rainier Blues Festival with Mush and will probably stay the night as we don’t want to drive 10 hrs. in a day. I’m really looking forward to it. Then we will be going to Las Vegas for M’s Birthday. That’s right, Vegas bitches! I can hardly wait. We will be gone from the 28th to the 2nd and back home to recuperate. It’s gonna be a fucking blast.

Oh, and I’ve been whoopin’ ass in the Sales Dept. lately. Selling like a bad dog. Closed 10 accounts just today. w00t!

I’m sure I could ramble on about some other trivial shit but this all I have for now.

Take care…
