Its beginning to...

Hello People. Its 80+ degrees down here in Florida. The weather has been nice and toasty. I'm wearing my shorts as always here in the middle of December. There I hope you are jealous. Because its the one thing I always like about living here in December. Let me see, during the past couple of days, not much has happened. Yesterday, Missy and I, went down to pick up my daily bonus and he decided he would go ahead and spend his Ocean Waters Spa gift certificate ($100) on shampoo and conditioner to give to people on his Christmas list. We found it humorous that our company is too cheap to actually give us CASH but instead give us gift certificates to the Spa instead. So that way they dont lose any money. But anyways, after that adventure to the spa, we went down to the boardwalk. We figured we may as well visit it one more time and reminisce about the times that we had at the old "broadwalk" (as it used to be called in the old days). I worked down there for a good year as the night manager for the biggest arcade. We ordered a big ol' 32oz draft beer for each of us and I ordered me a big chargrilled cheeseburger and fries. We went out and sat in the fenced off area and smoked a cigarette while we were waiting on my food. There was hardly any people down there. So my food order was ready and I went to get it. I got back and sat the plate down on the table and then tried sitting in my plastic white chair. Don't ask me how, but I didn't even get all the way down in the chair when it fell backwards out from underneath me. You should have seen it, I was flailing my arms and legs in the air and it was like the chair was just teetering below me. So eventually I fell back on my back. I have a nice big bruise on the top of my butt now. It hurt like hell, but it was so comical. Then after I got through eating we went in Mardi Gras and played my favorite arcade game "SKEEBALL". I got a $10 roll of quarters and Missy and I played all of it on skeeball. In the end I only beat him by 5 tickets. I am better at getting the 100pts hole whereas Missy is better at getting the 10-50pts holes. We had a grand time. We redeemed our tickets and got us a $0.50 shot glass. LMAO. But it was a good time. We then walked on over to the Streamline and finished up happy hour with one of favorite bartenders Curly. We got home at a rather decent hour and I pretty much crashed. I woke up this morning and started working on my packing goals for the week. I actually got more packed than I thought I would. The credenza is packed. Everything I had on the computer desk is packed. The bathroom is packed. I got all the plates that Missy had given me (Marilyn Monroe and other various plates). I got a lot of stuff packed into two more totes. I'm glad I have been planning out this move and accomplishing things as time goes by instead of the last minute packing that I've been known to do. I have about 2 weeks left before I start my job in Tampa. I'm so looking forward to it. If all goes as planned Rachael and I may have found this cute house to rent. It's a cute 2 br 2 ba house completely renovated with all new stainless steel appliances, new hardwood bamboo floors, new washer and dryer. The house is literally as wide as the lot that it sits on. There is no grass in the front or back yard. But its in a nice neighborhood only 2.5miles away from the job. Which that is a great benefit for me. But, as I have said, I'm not getting my hopes up, if we get this house, so be it, but if not, oh well, next house please. LOL. I'm hoping to be like the Virgin Mary and win the lottery without having to buy a ticket. I would be happy with $10,000 for the time being. Hell, give me a $1 and I would be happy. Okay, thats the past couple of days in a nutshell minus a few things here and there that I didn't include here. Hope you have a happy holidays! Peace Out!!
