The Past Week...

Greetings People. Well I feel I have neglected on my blog this year. I guess with the move and all I just really haven't had the time to sit down and blog my thoughts and happenings as often. I'm gonna blog whatever pops in my head during this blog. So maybe I can get caught up a little. This past week was overall a good week. The job seems to be getting easier. Who would have thought that a program designed back in '90 would still be in operation. Its not Windows based at all. I haven't had to memorize and get familiar with so many abbreviations or acronyms in my life. But its not too bad. I've readjusted a little and I'm catching on rather well considering I have 5 more weeks of training to go. The house is coming along rather quickly. All that's left is setting up the living room. But, I'm not gonna do that until I get a surround sound system and then spend a day cussing while I hook everything up at once. I think it will look like showroom quality when we are through. I filed my taxes and the return is gonna look mighty nice in my bank account along with a full check from Manpower at the same time. Woo Hoo. Steve dropped my bike off on Saturday. Now, its time for me to put my a$$ in gear and starting riding it. I'm determined to drop 30 lbs by May. I've already lost 6lbs since I arrived in Tampa on 1-7. My bedroom looks great. I hung my artwork and I was very impressed. I threw the headboard to my bed away. It was nice but it didn't go with the look that I am going for in this room. Without the headboard my bed has become a nice platform bed. With 12 drawers underneath for storage, I have plenty of room. My purple bedroom in Daytona was a great room. And the green bedroom is gonna be awesome now. I haven't unpacked the bar yet. I'm not gonna do any of that until I get the blinds to go out on the backporch. The cable guy came yesterday and installed cable out on the back porch. I am already getting visions of the bar that I am gonna build back there. I tell ya, the landlord is gonna love us when we leave. He agreed to split the cost with me on getting the blinds installed. It's something I would leave behind. The garage is almost empty. Still have a few things in there, but in time it will be cleared out. Speaking of cleared out, he had the backyard cleaned up some since it was overgrown, and it looks a lot better. He says he's gonna plant flowers and all, if he doesn't, I know I will. I already have a spot picked out for when I get my hammock. I have some projects I wanna complete around here and getting this place looking great in time for summer. I'm somewhat homesick from Daytona though. I guess it's because my friends were such a part of my daily life and now that I am in a big city and hardly know anyone here, it's a big change. I'm sure in time, I will begin meeting people. What can I say? I'm 31 years old enjoying life, living it up as best I can, have very little bills, grabbing life by the horns and enjoying the ride. I wouldn't be in the position I'm in if it weren't for all my family and friends. I guess everyone is in the same boat in the sense. Okay enough blubbering. LOL. I grilled some chicken yesterday for the first time on that big George Foreman grill I got back in Nov'. Damn, that was some of the juiciest chicken. Mmm mmm. I made pasta salad, corn, and cornbread. It was a mighty delicious meal. I'm gonna buy me an outdoor grill one day. I love cooking on the George Foreman. You can't go wrong with it. Unless you walk away from it and forget LOL. It looks like I am a cook after all. I enjoy it for the most part, and now that I have a dishwasher and don't have to solicit Missy to clean up the dishes, I plan on doing more cooking (and I hope to keep the weight off). LOL. Well, I guess I'm gonna get out of bed now and start working on finishing up the trim painting that needs to be done. It's on my list of things to finish this weekend. I will take some pictures of the place in the next couple of weeks as it comes together and post them. Some of you will be in shock to see the transformation from the Daytona exhibit to the Tampa showplace. Hope you all have a good week and as always, PEACE OUT ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
