Countdown...

For the past two years Nick's brother Neil has lived with us. He's been a reliable roommate and since he moved in with us, Neil and I have become closer as friends. We probably know more about each other than we want to know - but that's okay.

Anyway, in a week's time Neil will be moving into his very first apartment (on his own). He's pretty psyched and I'm sure a little nervous, but I've got no doubts he'll do great. He'll have complete privacy for probably the first time in his life (coming from a big family and all), and he'll be able to do what he wants when he wants. I'm very happy for him!

Congratulations Neil!

Until next time...

Busy Weekend...

It's a good thing this week is going to be really short, 'cause I've got a busy weekend ahead of me. Our employers gave us Monday off for Memorial Day, and I'm taking Friday off so I can make the most of my up-coming weekend. I'll only be working three days this week. WooHoo!

My boyfriend, Nick, also has a busy weekend and a three-day work week ahead of him (we work for the same company). His weekend plans are different from mine, but I'm sure we'll both have a blast despite not spending this weekend together.

I'll be attending the 2007 R.O.T. Bike Rally here in Austin, and Nick will be attending the 2007 A-Kon anime convention in Dallas. Both events are family related...my folks go to R.O.T. almost every year, and Nick's dad & brothers go to A-Kon every year. Last year I accompanied Nick and his brothers to A-Kon, and the year before that Nick accompanied me and my parents to R.O.T. He has more fun at A-Kon & I have more fun at R.O.T., so it works out well when we both get to go to the event we favor.

Until next time...

Monkey Business...

Hello, and welcome to my latest blog.

There was a time in my life when posting blog entries was as easy as pie. I wrote about anything and everything. It was a great way to document/express/explore and understand what was going on in my life at any given time. Until my blogging turned into bitching (almost entirely about a previous job of mine), and every entry was about the same old annoyances I'd been dealing with for what felt like forever. People stopped reading my blog because it became "Same Shit - Different Day".

It's been almost a year since I left that job. It's been almost a year since the last time I blogged on a regular basis. I almost don't know what to write about anymore. In the past year I've found a much more laid-back job, I've made a few new friends, and I've reconnected with some old ones (just in time for my up-coming 10-year high school reunion). So, I figured now would be a good time to get back into blogging on a regular basis. I may not post every day, but I'll be sure to post whenever I've got something worth writing about.

Until next time.
