An Update on Life:
Hey Everyone! I have not forgotten the blog...just been a little absent. The beautiful spring weather has happily pulled me outside away from this computer...although today is not quite as warm and cozy as I would like it to be. I have been looking for a special post for my Amy...but have not been able to find it yet..."Nasty", I promise I'll keep looking.
Things are good. I have a phone interview with a guy in the Micro dept at UNC in the morning. It's been so long since I've interviewed it will interesting to see how that goes. Besides for job hunting things are just same ole, same ole.
Cory and I sadly watched Duke win on Sunday while drinking beers at the Tap Room, which was nice. Always makes me smile and remember the good ole days of "Club Tap Room" back when Keller was still around and we always spent our weekends dancing like idiots... whether it was in the corner of the Tap Room or in the cages at the Sky Bar (yep, it was as scary as it sounds). (Snap...you remembering good stories of Hoj smearing lip stick all over my pants while drinking Long Islands by the pitcher?! :) ) Then I drug him on a 10 mile walk around West End and downtown Winston (it's weird seeing Burke St. during the day)...we left the Tap Room at 3 and he was moaning pretty good by time we got back to the car at 5:30...hehe. Although, he has now decided he liked the exercise and is gonna let me drag him off on an even longer stroll in the near future.
Our v-ball team did great Monday. We had had a really rough week the Monday before and I think everyone left with their confidence a little bruised...but every single one of my teammates showed up with their A game last week and I think we all agreed that it may have just been the most fun we've had out there yet. We had one volley that must have lasted for 4 minutes or more...I was beat...especially since this smart girl decided to go do my weight training circuit right before v-ball that night. My Thursday night team continues to be interesting from week to week. The week before last all of our "star players" made an appearance and we got killed...last week there was just 5 of us...2 guys, 3 girls. And one of the guys is not one of our best players. The 5 of us managed to go 3 and 1 against two of the best teams in the league. The lesson I am taking from this is that cocky attitudes can go a long way in destroying a team effort...sometimes it's much, much better to have 5 humble people who are willing to work their butts off.
Let's see what else: Well, this weekend should be a blast. Headed with a bunch of the girls to Mrytle Beach to have a bachorlette weekend for our friend Tamara. We're gonna hit the St. Patty's Day parade on Saturday and let the fun (and trouble) go from there. Hopefully once we get Allyson moved to Denver I'll be headed out there as well. I'm excited about seeing Colorado since I've never been before, but even more excited about seeing Allyson since I haven't seen her since our New Orleans trip in January 2005.
Well, I'm off to Barnes & Nobles to do some reading and drink coffee until I head to Kickboxing at 5:30...I'm gonna be in some serious pain in the morning! Love and Miss you All!!! Send hellos when you get the chance or suggestions of what you'd like to see on this page. Javid has tipped me off to something he likes...so I'll probably put up something "stupid" for our entertainment in the near future.
